  • I've used Linux for years and I also have a ~/Applications folder where I put AppImages, applications cloned with git and stuff like that in. E.g. I have the last Yuzu AppImage in there, since it got taken down, but I also made a .desktop file for it, so I can launch it through the application menu. Btw, you should be able to just double click AppImages in your file explorer to open them.

  • Fascists are rising up all over the world, it's the same here. The fascists have already taken power in the US and it looks like they'll do the same here in Germany too if nothing majorly changes. As soon as our economic system encounters a really bad recession, people notice that something's going wrong and needs to change. Fascists take that opportunity to give people easy enemies to blame, saying that the "others" (nowadays that's mostly muslims, immigrants and trans people) just need to be removed from society and everything will be fine again. They find explanations for why that's the case and justify it by saying that they just want to "remigrate" them and also only the bad ones that don't work and stuff like that. What they want to do and how they want to do it never changes tho, they're still fascists no matter how many justifications and euphemisms they find for the cruel things they want to do. Unfortunately, their strategy still works perfectly, partly because they're being supported by the rich. The rich know that the change people want will either result in fascists taking power, in which case they'd still be able to make loads of money, or leftists taking power, in which case their wealth would be taken away and given back to society. And just like with the companies they own, profit is always more important than human lifes. The fascists have convinced large parts of the population, the nationalised media (that was established after WW2 as a neutral source of information, so fascists can't spread their propaganda, didn't work out that well) and neoliberal politicians (so everyone who's not in Die Linke or the AFD).

  • are there any general-purpose communities for talking in russian or arabic?

    Jump

  • You can filter instances by language on the join lemmy site and then look at the communities on those instances. It seems like there's no arabic instances but it seems like there's a russian one.

  • SOLVED GNOME extensions stopped working after upgrade to Fedora Workstation 42

    Jump

  • I know that OP already found the solution but I just wanted to chime in because every person who commented completely misunderstood the question. It's normal that some extenions don't support the new version after updating GNOME but in that case, the switch will be disabled and it will show you a warning that the extensions doesn't support the new GNOME version. OP clearly stated that they could still switch the extensions on and off. Besides that, most extensions will already have been updated to support the new version by the time the Fedora update comes out, so it wouldn't make sense that all the extensions wouldn't work anymore.

    As a tip, you can install "Extension Manager" instead of the default "Extenions" app and besides being able to install extensions right through the app, it also has an "Upgrade Assistant" function, which lets you check which of your extensions support the GNOME version you specify. That way you can check if your extensions will work in the new GNOME version before updating.

  • Chinese people flood TikTok with videos urging Americans to buy direct amid Trump tariffs

  • I mean, China is obviously not some saint but those suicide nets seem like a good thing to me. People throw themselves off of buildings here in the west too but at least the people who installed those nets care enough to try to prevent those people from killing themselves.

  • How do I get rid of this Gemini crap?

    Jump

  • That's the solution I used in the end too. It was for my parents TV, which is a smart TV with an OS that just sucks. I have a server with Jellyfin and every time they wanted to open that, they had to navigate to the app store, open that, open "Web App Tester" and then click the link for Jellyfin. The TV was also really slow in general, it always took like half a minute to connect to our WiFi after turning on and it randomly started to flicker. Then I found the Xiaomi TV Box, which comes with a bluetooth remote and can be hooked up to a TV over HDMI. It runs Google TV, which is just the new name for Android TV, so it has Jellyfin as an app and all the other issues were fixed as well. I know that still sucks privacy wise but my parents don't care about that and they just wanted something that works. We also wanted to replace the smart TV with a dumb TV at first but all the dumb TVs we could find were a lot smaller and only 1080p instead of 4k, so we just disconnected the smart TV from our WiFi. This new setup is an improvement in every way and we can replace the TV itself and the Xiaomi TV Box independently if we ever need to.

  • I completely agree with you that all forks in the image suck. The part that you stick into the food shouldn't be rounded like that, it should be straight, so when you take it out of your mouth, it glides through your lips uniformly without some weird bumps. It should also have enough space in between the thingys, so you don't just cut your food in half when sticking it in. Then the handle, there's no reason for it not to be straight either. My hand doesn't have weird bumps like that, so the handle shouldn't either. It should also not be that flat, so it's nicer to grip.

    Once I move out of my parents house, I'm definitely gonna buy forks like the one in your image. This is the best fork I've ever seen. Everything is straight without weird bump, it's not gonna cut my food in half and the handle is thick, so it's nice to grip. I don't understand how people who design things like this just don't think about making them nice to use. Do they stop themselves from thinking about how the thing they make would actually be used or what?

  • I never really understood the deal about hybrids anyway. To me, it just seems like the worst of both worlds. One of the coolest things about EVs is that you can just charge it at home but wirth a hybrid you need to charge it in addition to also driving to the gas station to fill up the tank. The battery is also way smaller, so the electric engine doesn't take you very far anyway. And whatever engine you're using, you always have to carry the weight of the other system. And since you have both, doesn't that mean that there's way more that can break too?

    And that's just talking about plug-in hybrids, the ones that generate electricity using a combustion engine just seem like ICE vehicles with extra steps.
