Dash to Panel maintainer quits after failed donations drive • The Register in c/linux@programming.dev

100 % agree. I don't mind developers asking for donations, but this seemed too intrusive. Especially with the 20-second timeout to dismiss it. The developer also seemed to have a bit of an attitude in their response.

I think the name initially referred to WINdows Emulator and was later changed, though I can't find a good source for it. I wonder why they insist on not calling it an emulator.

1. Where do you find what shows/films to watch?

I don't discover it any certain way but once I know what I'm looking for I just search in qbittorrent. For anime I have RSS feeds set up.

2. Do you stream for convenience or download for superior quality?

I download.

3. Where do you store media?

Internal storage, currently some SSDs.

4. What software are you using to watch it?

mpv + fsr/Anime4K shaders.

5. How do you keep track of your watchlist, which episode you already watched or where you left off in a movie?

I use trackma/taiga with MAL for anime, for regular shows/movies I don't use anything.

Ooh, neat. There's also puepy, which was linked further down in this thread. It's really cool to see more WASM projects pop up.

Why is seeding a torrent helpful? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

You're not wrong, but it bugs me when my ratio drops, so I always seed everything I download. I have a pretty good internet service though.

I stumbled upon this while researching package management options for python, and found it a really interesting read.

I like python as a language but this mess is something that needs to be addressed for me to consider python for future projects. I can't imagine how confusing it must be for new users.
