Couldn’t you just place a sticker on top? I know that you’ll either not get the led light or it’s gonna look a bit funny in the dark if part of the windows logo shines through if the sticker is not thick enough, but you can place a tiny tux sticker there!

Hey arxaseus hope you get through that depressive episode, that is so shitty and I’m sorry you have to deal with that… I understand and am super proud and happy to hear you are keeping that 5mins a day. I am currently doing the same until I gain motivation to pick up the speed again. You got this, no need to force yourself past that 5 mins until you can again!

And what?! One of the most pro-AI companies admitting they went overboard with AI? This is magnificient news! Started seeing so many mistakes that weren’t getting fixed…

I didn’t know 130 is employable level. I also like arbitrary goals - keeps me motivated. Guess that’ll be my goal on duolingo as well. I use duolingo mainly as a vocab trainer and it’s been good for that so far.

Hope the power of habits, pomodoro, and lofi girl are helping you through this tough episode right now.

DownTheRabbitHole episode of a fediverse user when?

Maybe, who knows. Oh well. Can still appreciate the good content of PG, especially after they hired some more staff for content, which has been really nice.

I love privacyguides but still a bit salty about how jonah neglected lemmy.one, just ignored contacting attempts when his instance was hosting fuckedup shit, and then brushed it all off by saying lemmy is lacking in functionality instead of admitting he had been completely neglecting the admin tasks on lemmy.one and that he should have closed that instance long time ago if he didn’t plan to deal with it.

It’s ok not to want to continue hosting or admitting that life got in the way, but just brushing that off by saying it’s lemmy’s fault is what annoyed me.

Edit: words.

*magnificient news!

That’s a pretty neat idea. I also follow german-speaking communities and it’s awesome how active they are!

Can’t trust the meme communities though lol. [email protected] uses tongue-in-cheek literal translations from english sometimes. It’s a really cool community but I need to be mindful not to accidentally learn memespeak instead of proper grammar lol.

That’s useful, thanks for the recommendation! I’ll have to check this out. Especially nice for those who can’t afford new PC’s atm.

Hope you feel better tomorrow! And yes you are absolutely right, it’s ok to sometimes just be and pick up speed when you can again.

Forgot about floorp, you are right. No need to jiggle tarballs.

Hey now it’s simple. The name is derived from Ygjls and hfefe which are like industry standard and everyone knows that. Well ok, maybe not hfefe but how do you jumbo your börg config without jimbling tarballs from nightly goobpy repo which obviously has hfefe as a dep?

You put it well. Big Companies who rely on these libraries should put in the work. They have the money and resources to help FOSS projects reach compliance.

Thanks for the links. I recall reading that installing windows 11 with bypasses might break after some future update? I just didn’t want to offer a solution that might cause issues as well.

For some linux was a good option, but for some I said you can either get a new computer or pay for the LTSC. Thankfully I was able to find some affordable win11 compatible laptops for their usecases.

Exactly. At the same time the same businesses are claiming record profits, and not contributing to that central piece of foss software at all in any way (like the car manifacturers mentioned in the post).

I knew people in general are terrible to whoever is providing something for free but WTF.

Atleast he also gets occasionally nice emails

He concluded the brief talk with one last email; it was from an 11-year-old child who had found curl useful in some project they were working on. It included an expression of gratitude that, Stenberg said, was truly heartwarming.

I have been called by friends, family friends, and their friends to help with this and so many have hardware that is not supported, and some are not able to afford a new PC right now. That’s my limited and personal experience about this.

I have reservations about installing Linux Mint/other for these people because I don’t have time to help right now and you do need sometimes help if you are slightly tech aware but not enough to be able to troubleshoot yourself or search for right info. For folks who barely touch any settings and just use it for docs + web it’s easy, but for others not always.

Microsoft is such an ass for doing this.

That is so relieving to hear, awesome!

From the article:

As Voge from the Internet Society explains, Germany is key because there’s a new government in charge. The previous government was indeed very pro-encryption – seeking to make encryption a legal right at home, while strongly opposing mandatory scanning in the block. Yet, the new administration “is giving very mixed messages and no one can definitively say what’s going to happen on Friday,” Voge added.

I really like the idea of encryption as a legal right.

On top of all of this, these fucks don’t seem to be worried about their own encryption outside of office / position.

Fucking idiots. Has anyone told them that them using any of their free-time devices would be suspectible to any exploit that this introduces too (and it will)? Oh, got a new iPad for home? Guess what, you are important enough that a zero-day exploit was worth it to be used on you. Would they get off their career-high for one moment and think…

Don’t worry about the wall of text, it’s always interesting and enjoyable to read about your language learning journey. I see you as maxxing on learning lol and it’s really cool to get a glimpse into your routines, reviews of resources and progress.

Motivates me too. Lately I’ve done the bare minimum because life’s been in the way for the last 2 months. Will get better in October.
