  • Valve's Steam Deck OLED is out of stock in the US, and I think we can guess why

    Jump

  • I actually think it might get even worse as more and more software will be written by AI.

  • Fun fact: you can't upload this image on piefed.social

    Jump

  • Wow, thanks for posting this. I actually considered switching to PieFed because people say a lot of good things about it but now I know I won't. I can't treat codebase like this seriously.

  • Google AI Overviews cite YouTube more than any medical site for health queries, study suggests

    Jump

  • Unfortunately the majority of the society, who are tech illiterate just like your wife.

  • Why is the transfer speed so slow from my laptop to mobile phone on wired cable?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I think it's about MTP. It has always been slow and buggy in my experience.

  • When I was choosing an e-reader for myself some time ago I bought both PocketBook Era and Kobo Libra.

    Kobo asked me to create an account during the first boot which I hated and that was pretty much it for Kobo. Now, I'm not saying this is unskippable because I honestly don't remember the details but somehow this made me not like it.

    PocketBook has an awesome build quality. Certainly better than Kobo. It feels very premium and durable despite being pretty slim and I'm not afraid of throwing it into my backpack (with flip cover). The lack of handle curvature (like in Kobo) may be a slight disadvantage in ergonomics but it makes the reader much easier to pack and carry around.

    As for downsides, PocketBook's software is slooow. Just flipping pages is ok but switching books, jumping around or going through menus is just unbearably slow. Good news is that Koreader solves this problem completely. It flies and is better anyway.

    In the end I'm very satisfied with PocketBook Era and I would buy it again but Koreader is a must.

  • All the "useless" things we learn in school are there to teach us to learn.

    Jump

  • If there's one thing my school has never even tried to teach me it's how to learn effectively.

  • I need to vent about plastic milk jugs

    Jump

  • Aren't moulds manufactured to incredibly high precision? I can't imagine them having imperfections big enough to cause visibly different fill levels.

    However, my only qualification is hundreds of hours of watched How It's Made episodes so I might be completely wrong.

  • Unreadable dark text on dark theme in dolphin on sway, fedora

    Jump

  • I think someone just redacted your DE.

  • What YouTube channel to you has degraded in time?

    Jump

  • That's true and a bit of a bummer but I think those videos are still great. I don't care that much who makes them as long as the quality is good.

  • For browser option, should I chose Kagi or Swisscows?

    Jump

  • I have never tried Swisscows but I just want to say that Kagi is fantastic. Absolutely the best search experience I had in years.

  • My Android phone has apparently leaked the list of all the apps plus browsing history I've ever installed via DNS?

    Jump

  • The contents of proton pass are end to end encrypted

    That's precisely why they can't do the scan from their servers. They don't know the domains - they're decrypted only on your device.

    this has caused my whole vault to be leaked to public DNS servers via unencrypted UDP

    I feel like this is a tad dramatic. Surely, your vault contains more data, probably more sensitive, than just domain names.

  • My hard drive keeps clicking like files are being accessed but I'm not doing anything in that filesystem and the indicator light doesn't indicate any usage.

    Jump

  • You might want to check out fatrace. It can tell you exactly which processes access the given filesystem.

  • Data Center Watch Worries That Anti-AI Activism Is Working

    Jump

  • Could you elaborate on "the ping-ping of the CPUs cooling"?

  • How good are Amazon online shopping alternatives in your part of Europe? Have they improved since the beginning of the year?

    Jump

  • Allegro is the best online shopping experience in my opinion.

  • Please stop asking for One Single Linux Desktop or Distro

    Jump

  • I don't think it's a popular opinion among people who actually use Linux. But I did hear it as an argument against using Linux or an attempt at explanation why it's not more popular.

  • Record Numbers of Younger Women Want to Leave the U.S.

    Jump

  • Right, just pointing out that if it's common then it might be worth caring about even if doesn't affect you personally.

  • Record Numbers of Younger Women Want to Leave the U.S.

    Jump

  • I'm afraid this one reason might be much more common that you seem to think.

  • Removed

    Taking a photo to remember a moment is actually outsourcing that memory to an image, so your brain does less work and remembers it worse.

    Jump

  • I'm all for reducing your phone usage and "living in the moment" but taking photos is actually something I try to do more recently, not less. Obviously, I'm not watching events through the phone screen while filming them, but if something worth remembering happens I will quickly snap a picture first (double press the power button, single press the volume button, done), and then put the phone away and enjoy it.

    I realized that going through old photos actually brings me a lot of joy and often reminds me of moments I had completely forgotten. And mind you, I'm only approaching 30, I can only imagine this will be even more important when I'm older.

    So yeah, I disagree with this one, but of course I realize this will be different for different people.

  • Google's sideloading restrictions are being eased up somewhat

    Jump

  • They did! I'm on GrapheneOS now. I postponed the switch for over a year and the sideloading news convinced me to do it on the first free weekend. I'm very glad I did it.
