  • I've recently had so many random freezes of the system, hangs on shutdown, panics on shutdown, freezes in system updates, that hard reset became a thing I did several times a day. Yet there were no systemd logs, nothing in dmesg, literally zero information on what happened.

    I was skeptical in blaming Nvidia because at this point it became a Linux chiche, but then I started to switch to integrated graphics (disabling dGPU) and all of the problems miraculously went away.

  • "mogging" is a relatively recent meme representing a situation where one person next to others has radically better looks in some way or another, supposedly creating a subconscious atmosphere of their superiority. Typical examples are photos of bodybuilders next to regular people.

  • Lemmy.world seems to have banned the largest piracy community on Lemmy.

    Jump

  • Well this comment section was an interesting read. Interesting how many comments still bend the discussion towards bashing lemmy.ml and defederating from it. People, it's not even the topic of this post?

    Also it seems like very few actually read the post beyond the title? The problem is not lemmy.world banning the piracy community, they have the right to do so, that's how federation works. The problem is them making a promise to make announcements about such bans in advance, but they instead did it quietly in the background again.

  • Recently went on Reddit and laughed hysterically at the amount of religious propaganda I saw in this format. Example:

  • Announcing Ibis, the federated Wikipedia Alternative

    Jump

  • The problem I see with federated wikis is potential creation of echo chambers. Current Wikipedia is often a political tug-of-war between different ideological crowds. For instance, on Russian Wikipedia, Russian Civil War article is an infamous point of struggle between communist and monarchist sympathizers, who often have to settle at something resembling a compromise.

    If both sides had their own wikis, each would have very biased interpretation of events. A person who identifies as either communist or monarchist would visit only the corresponding wiki, only seeing narrative that fits into their current world view, never being exposed to opposing opinions.

  • It's Monocraft, monospaced version of Minecraft font, makes me very nostalgic. First tried it for fun and giggles, but it stuck

  • Google isn’t done trying to demonstrate Gemini’s genius and is working on integrating it directly into Android devices

  • There's a larger problem though, Google both owns and controls AOSP. Of course, chances of them making it closed or introducing their proprietary services into it are extremely small, but they still are the captain who steers the ship.

    If they'll decide to embed AI (in some open source form), many derivatives like Graphene and LOS may have to suck it and follow through as the more you change your fork away from source code, the harder it becomes to maintain for small team of enthusiast devs.

  • Underwater internet cables in Red Sea reportedly damaged

    Jump

  • Is there additional reading I can do on the topic? I've googled but found nothing but concerns from Nato officials that Russia could engage in seabed sabotage. This comment is universally praised so I guess it's some universal knowledge I missed. What are some instances when they did it?

  • Nginx gets forked by core developer

  • Yeah fuck 'em ruskies, amirite? Gotta be so dumb to choose the wrong nationality at birth, jeansibelius didn't make that mistake, look at him go! 😎😎😎

  • Bose introduces their new Ultra Open Earbuds. “Their cuff-like fit leaves your ears totally open so you can still hear the world around you”

    Jump

  • The amount of people in the comments not understanding why open buds are relevant to some people / the concept of earbuds overall is quite funny. I guess there's some truth in stereotypical Lemmy user rarely showing up outside 🙃

  • Firefox Devs Working on Tab Previews

    Jump

  • I'm sorry, but did you... read my comment?

    I didn't say clicking is power user, I said that you assessing features in terms of speed ("Is hovering faster than clicking?") is a power user approach. It's deeper than just bare speed and accessibility features are not developed to provide physically faster experience, but one that is more comfortable for some group of users.

    Hovering preview does not even take ability to click through tabs away, but could provide comfort for a user who is not as browser proficient, for the reasons I outlined above.

  • Firefox Devs Working on Tab Previews

    Jump

  • I think it's much easier to have more than to have less. Most people I encounter have such a mess of pages in their browser, makes my hair stand on end. If we continue to approach this as an accessibility feature, it starts to make even more sense since tons of users have so many tabs they only see icons, not page names

  • Firefox Devs Working on Tab Previews

    Jump

  • Again, in my opinion you approach the problem like a power user. Using a browser is not a speedrun where every millisecond matters. Here is why I think it provides more comfort to an average user:

    • No need to divert attention and look around the monitor. When you're not well versed with a mouse, it's easier to click and look at the same place
    • Nothing distracts you unlike when you click through pages. Imagine going from dark theme page to a light theme page, the entire screen suddenly lights up
    • Depending on the way it is implemented (perhaps by keeping compressed page screenshots?), it might be faster to show a preview than to render the page again on a weak machine

  • Firefox Devs Working on Tab Previews

    Jump

  • I think many people in the comments suffer from some version of curse of knowledge.

    Sure, this feature us quite irrelevant for a power user who is quick to navigate the browser and needs a split second to remember what tab it is simply by reading the header and seeing the icon.

    However, many less proficient people can benefit from this feature. Not once I saw how someone who has 10 tabs open and needs to go to a different webpage, starts meticulously clicking through every single one of them because they have no idea how the page they are looking for is called, they are too overwhelmed by using web as a whole to take notice.

  • FLOSS communities right now

    Jump

  • Yep, that's exactly why in the end of my comment I say that I currently believe a combination of Github+Discord to be best. Github for bug reporting, Discord if you want to socialize with the community, that's what it does best

  • FLOSS communities right now

    Jump

  • Can't you do everything you've listed on github though? Report bugs on issues tab, ask questions on discussions tab, following up is easy. Everything is also indexed by search engines and can be looked up later on.

  • FLOSS communities right now

    Jump

  • While I understand why FOSS community hates Discord, I don't know an alternative that is better at everything.

    Discord's main problems:

    • Not FOSS / Privacy respectful
    • Hard/Impossible to index/search for data and organize tech support

    However alternatives we have are not ideal either:

    1. Old-school web forums
      1. Great for info archival / organized tech support
      2. Separate accounts for every one of them, different sets of newsletters / email notifications. Basically, to efficiently be active on several forums you have to manually log in to each on regular basis and check what's new
      3. Due to slower pace of communication, it's harder to just log in and "hang out" with community, everybody is more of a pen pal.

    1. FOSS messaging applications (e.g. Matrix since that's what most use)
      1. Info archival is even worse then on Discord. Every time I tried to search for anything useful on Matrix I would give up due to poor results and HUGE delays for every search
      2. Because most communities use a single Matrix chat, it's a huge disorganized mess for any communication and tech support. There's often 2-3 concurrent conversations in a single room and some just stop abruptly due to it getting confusing to keep up
      3. it's FOSS and Private, though

    Feel free to downvote me for this, but I think that Github for support & issue tracking and Discord for community hang out spot is currently the lesser evil approach until better Foss tools arrive
