with a car the other person has a licence for it, which comes with the assumption of at least some basic skills operating the device.

Users with computers? Some people really shouldn’t even approach one.

Back when starting your computer and launching programs took a good chunk of your first hour at work (this was about 10-15 years ago for me), having startup programs meant you could just

• hit the button
• get coffee
• chat with colleagues
• login
• get coffee
• review the incoming paperwork
• get coffee
• start the one program that didn’t autolaunch
• get coffee
• actually start doing something on your pc

those people in sitcoms chilling at coffee machines were probably waiting for their PC to start. Launching corporate software took ages, having them started neatly by windows saved you from having to start the next program when the previous was finally launched after a few minutes.

The biggest bump in computer performance in history wasn’t getting more memory or a faster CPU, it was switching from a HDD to a SSD.

I’ve got a serverrack on the attic, what is spare solar power? ;)

I’ve been considering getting a battery, but until I’m actually going to any meaningful surplus in power its not really worth the investment for me.

I’m from the EU and got 6 panels for a total of about 2kW on my roof, my house isn’t on a optimal angle though, so I’m not often tapping the max capacity.

wiggle it until it’s the size of a monitor, and if you’re brave, it’ll take over EVERYTHING.

I love it that KDE didn’t limit the growing of it :)

the last part is one of my biggest annoyances. People just clicking away the dialogs that almost exactly tell what is wrong and at most just say: “yeah of gave me an error but I just clicked it away and it still didn’t work”.

As a software developer, pretty much every error you see I made there for you to either read or screenshot and send to IT, because I had to pretty much implement each one of them. (usually with a standard library, but it’s still a deliberate choice to show it to the user)

Real unexpected errors are hopefully written to logfiles, but that’s not always possible (try logging an error when your system disk is no longer available).

addendum: please also include the gibberish at the end of the error, because its likely there for IT or me to find more details of this specific error in the thousands to millions of things that are logged for the software or website.

the issue is that things like the DHT and PeX can leak your own home ip address, and local peer discovery can leak the torrents you’re seeding to local network devices.

Mullvad is very privacy oriented, hence it giving this advice.

on my normal desktop I use the flavor of the day DE, gnome is only used on my 40 inch touchscreen, because its the only one I could imagine being good on a touchscreen

Send them a message? They are usually very helpful, you might be able to either get a model or a replacement part.

A lot of ram is under lifetime warranty, check the manifacturer site (usually a serial lookup is enough).

My mom would probably be very angry if I choose to save her over my wife.

My wife can swim ten times better then me tho, so she probably ends up saving both my mom and me

… And he said it might work on wsl, which is Linux on windows translation layer, including graphics support.

A lot of Linux tooling has opened up to windows users because of it, which would include darling, to run mac apps, via wsl, on windows.

Our cat has a craving for chocolate, milk and everything not good for her.

She’s not the brightest bulb

If you run a tidy ship, you could go through the apps you might suspect, there is a “set an alarm” permission under settings -> apps -> app -> permissions -> three dots -> all permissions.

I don’t think stopping / clearing app data makes it go away if it’s do persistent, so you might have to resort uninstalling the apps that have this permission until it goes away.

Yeah, Beaver City!

If the issue is more prominent when the cursor is showing, it could be the hardware cursor (default on KDE) causing the issue. When you use hardware cursors, the cursor is rendered on a different ‘plane’ on top of the rest, possibly causing desync. You could try disabling it with a environment variable (I think it was KWIN_FORCE_SW_CURSOR=1), forcing to software render the cursor.

From my knowledge, it’s not directly forbidden yet. But it’s likely there will be laws around this topic and Eleven Labs wants to be ahead of it.

Also by having a system now allows Eleven Labs to influence politicians by saying their current system is good and should be the law, preventing the law from being more strict then they would like. (this is why companies like Apple tried to launch their ‘repair program’ before the actual laws were implemented, to steer the direction)

Hope is just delayed disappointment

Personally I’m more in the “oh yes please take my job as a programmer” mindset, yet none of the currently available tools seem to be anywhere near capable of it.

When they do, I guess I’ll just translate the b.s. customers spit into something that’s even humanly readable, just merely distilling the intent often isn’t enough. Also A.I. needs to ‘learn’ to say no, because even though the customer asks for something, doesn’t mean they actually want to have the result of their question.

Bugs are usually reported on github, in your case the https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui one under the “issues” tab I think. Make sure to read the prompts given. If it’s not a bug or a feature request, https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support might be a better place.
