Technology@lemmy.world•Jeep pushed software update that bricked all 2024 Wrangler 4xe modelsEnglish
7·13 days agoA user here emailed slate asking if there would be any tracking, and they responded that it would not, as it wouldn’t have the hardware to make that possible.
We’ll see if they actually follow through on that.

Linux@lemmy.ml•I just found out my fiancee wants to switch to linux, lets start a distro war, what should be her first? + other questionsEnglish
2·13 days agoIf you’re using that currently, do you notice that on a fresh reboot, if you sit at the desktop and just wiggle the mouse for a while, or keep creating selection boxes with your mouse, KDE will freeze for a random amount of time?

World News@lemmy.world•Madagascar soldiers join protestors, refuse orders to shoot demonstratorsEnglish
1·13 days agoFragging in Vietnam did happen. Wikipedia lists at least three incidents, one of which was attempted multiple times.

Technology@lemmy.world•Climate goals go up in smoke as US datacenters turn to coalEnglish
11·4 days agoThere’s still time for a general strike. The country would be brought to its knees if suddenly deprived of profit and labor. That tactic was extremely effective in Chile in 2019, and had they not fallen for the trick of liberal reform, they would’ve had a successful revolution on their hands with virtually no bloodshed.
If you aren’t in a union (or even if you are, it’s worth dual-carding), please consider joining the IWW to unionize your workplace (bonus: you’ll get higher wages, better benefits, and more time off if you succeed!) to strengthen a general strike if we manage to enact one.
And for our international friends, you should join one as well, as fascism is gaining momentum globally. If your country isn’t listed below, just contact the IWW directly in the link above.

Games@lemmy.world•Who's your favorite female protagonist in a video game? (Add pic of character in response)English
14·15 days agoI was so surprised how weirdly cast male V was, he always sounded like someone doing a kinda cringy 1930’s mobster impression.
Switched to female V, and it was night and day.

Technology@lemmy.world•Framework supporting far-right racists?English
357·16 days agoYikes. I loved that framework trailblazed repairable laptops, but those responses are pretty bad.
Edit: it’s so much worse now. That thread is flooded with bad faith far-right assholes, who in another thread admitted to trying to silence dissent by reporting comments to get the treads locked, and one called for framework to ban discussion of this issue entirely.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Free Software Foundation Turns 40, Unveils LibrePhoneEnglish
3·18 days agoMobian is Debian designed for phones. PostmarketOS is another project doing the same thing, but with an alpine Linux base.
What profit incentive is there for bots that don’t interact?
I always figured they trigger ad views, which financially benefit Reddit itself.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why can't we have a static vintage web?English
31·22 days agoNeocities encourages static 90’s style webpages.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Someone in my area is trying to sell a Windows 7 DVDEnglish
4·22 days agoThat seems high, are you sure that wasn’t for one of the higher clocked models? I built my PC in 2004, and according to this article, the lower end models were $170.
I can’t quite remember what I paid, I feel like it was less than that, though. I might’ve gotten it on sale from Tigerdirect.
Accounting for inflation that is probably still a bit high.

4·22 days agoThe Athlon 64 was pretty affordable at the time, I think. Good little bugger too, was able to use it right up to 2013 before YouTube videos became too sluggish.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Privacy-focused code editors for beginnersEnglish
13·22 days agoGeany is a great, lightweight FOSS editor that totally respects your privacy, and supports all if the languages you mentioned, plus many more.
Enshittification will come to all proprietary apps sooner or later.

Technology@lemmy.world•Apple has REMOVED the ICEBlock app from the App Store due to “objectionable content.”English
11·23 days agoIt doesn’t necessarily need to achieve mass adoption, it just needs to get to a ‘good enough’ point to make it viable for those who are willing or desperate to get away from big tech.
Linux still has plenty of people giving reasons why they won’t switch, but it’s now finally viable for many, including myself. I just want mobile Linux to get to that point too, even if there’s still rough edges.

391·23 days agoWe rapidly need to switch to Linux Mobile. PostmarketOS and Mobian are the two most promising projects, and I would highly recommend anyone reading this to donate to them if you have the means.
Both projects directly use your donations to hire developers to build and polish the critical essentials to get this alternative viable as a daily driver.

3·24 days agoYes, it’s a morgue converted into a bar, which acts as an important mission hub.

Android@lemmy.world•This Linux phone with Android app support has three kill switches for complete privacyEnglish
51·28 days agoIt says on the article it can take SD cards up to 1tb, and according to a reddit comment from someone who daily drives one, it has a removable back panel and battery.


























The Japanese stock market crash of 1987 only recovered in 2020. That’s over 30 years.
If that happened in the US, the average american who invested in the stock market and is relying on a 401k to retire would be screwed.
