Fluffychat on Android mobile. Feels familiar.

Looks like a direct motherboard RGB feature. It should boost your frames by 30%.

Ah of course. Americans tie so much success and personal welfare to employment, that’s the problem! An UBI would help everyone succeed then we wouldn’t be too worried about immigrants /s.

It’s a useful tool, but there is a security concern for anything not fully open source. You will have to weigh your risk factors, I doubt that it’s any problem for most consumers or distro hoppers.

Best to keep an eye in case any new contributers arrive suddenly…

Welcome to the club!

I really feel this especially related to mobile (cellphone and tablet) communications: (Google Pixel is the only device offering substantial support for alternative OSes, Mobile Payment Processors rely on one of the big names like Google, Apple, Samsung etc., other projects becoming unmaintained and supporting 10 year old phones, etc.)

In the personal (laptop and desktop) computing space we are in a much better place. You are much less beholden to companies’ interest in harvesting data on every aspect of your life.

Sure, we can lament that most people don’t care. But look where we are now: I have daily driven my Linux box for a year to play all the games that are in style with my friends without Microsoft constantly over my shoulder. I’m on Lemmy and other Fediverse platforms, unbeholden to specific corporate policies. I use Beeper which means I don’t have to have Meta apps harvesting interaction behaviour directly on my primary cellphone. I can’t win every battle for my privacy and freedom, but each conscious choice I have that I make is a statement of resistance, and one step of many towards my ideal of the computer world I wish to be in.

I bet Larian is like, “Oh no, Hasbro this is terrible! We locked down the editor best we could, but those conniving hackers broke the protections to make creative custom content for our game. What will we ever do? 😏”

$0.11 Canadian/kWh, my usage is about 150kWh per person per month, but I don’t have summer AC. There’s a higher rate beyond a threshold of 675kW/h but that’s still under 15 cents. With a zero-use daily charge including municipal levies about 30 cents per day, and some fluctuations based on power sold, imported and other costs (my last bill had like $3 in credits). All in all about CA$25/mo ($18US).

Charged by BCHydro, the provincial power regulator. I’ve been really shocked at how cheap utilities are overall in BC, I budgeted about 3 times the amount I needed when I first moved.

If you can believe it, Trump supporters will accept the Ohio immigrant pet eating story as true.

Somehow media is pitching the “moderate position” as halfway between anywhere within the normal range of political positions and the crazy positions.

That’s an interesting view for sure. Thanks for sharing.

to signal boost to the west.

Yes it does that too.

From my understanding the losses occurred mainly from miscommunications between one group sent in to relieve another, or drone and air units with jammer units and that kind of thing. Macroscopic strategy decisions such as the Kursk incursion are not related to that. Clearly it was planned well as intelligence kept it under wraps until its execution. The execution of the defense was poorer on the eastern front such as intergroup communication problems, inadequately prepared defense lines and so on.

The Pokrovsk direction is a real threat for Ukraine, agreed, and also is a gambit wirh inherent risk, agreed. In your view, how much more likely would Ukraine be to fend off the Russian assault on that front had they not?

The diversion is more significant than the article makes it out to be.

On face value, Kursk region isn’t that important to Moscow and they’ve got the strategic points like the nuclear plant on lock. It’s hard to deny the value of the morale boost that Ukraine desperately needed, even as it has risks as with anything.

The choice for Ukraine is to keep on the defensive, slowly losing its ground, or the same thing happens but Putin is humiliated on the world stage by Ukraine, taking Russian military high command by surprise whether it forces their hand or not.

The Kursk incursion does not change losses caused by poor military coordination present from Ukrainian and Russian command structures.

“Yeah, here, check my /dev/null real quick”

Tech has evolved to intentionally give less and less choice to the user. Tech skills have declined on average as a result.

Do other LAN games work? I don’t think vanilla or modded makes a difference but you can test on both.

Sanity check that you are using Hamachi’s/VPN’s assigned local IP instead of your router’s local IP.

Is the Windows machine the host or Linux? If Windows check that Firewall is disabled for Java (assuming Java edition) and Minecraft.

What the… this is so infuriating to a railfan. It’s like they are trying to attach a 2x viewer multiplier by putting Elon-related keyword in it when Tesla has so little to do with it.

It’s not a Tesla train, nor a battery from Tesla, nor operated by Tesla, not even a new route (but granted an expanded timetable)

I wish media hyped trains like this in general and not limited to implicitly attributing it to Musk (who made hyperloop specifically to distract from High Speed Rail, mind you)… “GIGA TRAIN brings commuters to work”, “Hyper train first electric regional service in California - you won’t believe the capacity!”

Congratulations! 1 more country to beat the threshold requirement (after the Netherlands whose threshold seems will be crossed imminently). France and Ireland seem like solid contenders.

I guess part of it is that each platform wants to be specific to the purpose of its own network/platform. Mastodon as a Twitter/Tumblr like microblog site, PixelFed like Instagram, Friendica like Facebook, so on and so forth. Align all terminology to one set of terms I think takes away from the uniqueness of each platform. If you want the truly neutral default cross-Fediverse term, then just use the one from the ActivityPub spec. That pleases every Fediverse platform equally, i.e. not at all.

Users = Actors. Upvote/Favourite/React = Like. Post/Note/Toot/Thread = Object. Happy? Didn’t think so.

When one network interacts on another, the target will do its best to translate your actions into the way it does things. That’s why Link posts from Mastodon appear so wonky in Lemmy, and you can only reply to Mastodon users who posted in a Lemmy community.

I can’t have a chill movie night at home with friends without being able to pirate movies for free.
