uwu owo etc., you know...

  • Unredacted files reveal Anthropic’s ‘secret plan’ to ‘destructively scan all the books in the world'

    Jump

  • it would be something more like you buy LPs/tapes/CDs, then form a band that makes songs and albums based around solely those records you bought then destroyed. I think... or something like that.

  • Why is Debian always left out of the distro recommendations?

    Jump

  • alright, but you have to do it only once in every 10 years, so...

  • CoMaps: Release 2026.01.24 is out

    Jump

  • I'm gonna try this out. I like OsmAnd~, but sometimes it feels like it's like shooting out of cannon to sparrows (which is one thing I love about it).

  • Verizon refused to unlock man’s iPhone, so he sued the carrier and won

    Jump

  • I remember when carriers not just locked the phones, they also had custom firmwares filled with bloat and customized skins and even locking down features and all that shit. For example, I had a Sony Ericsson K700i and it had a disgustingly customized FW on it, and aside that it was ugly, I could only play MP3 files that I purchased through Vodafone. Sending them via bluetooth (or even with IR) didn't work, the phone refused to play it back.

    (Then of course I found out that Sony Ericssons were pretty moddable phones so I replaced the FW with an original one and that solved all my problems. For some reasons, the fact that I patched the FW with countless of VKP patches and even unlocking it with a patch, didn't void my warranty so whenever I fucked up the FW beyond my abilities to repair it or simply bricked it, I just sent it to Vodafone and they fixed it.)

    And they did this even when Android became a thing. (Though, it was a Vodafone branded phone so... it was sort of OK. (technically it was a Huawei though, also pretty moddable phone))

  • gemini, nifty as it is, is actually less capable of layout and styling than the printing press from the 1500s and that’s saying something

    it's like that by design, that's the point of the protocoll

  • Do people with newer pcs prefer rolling release?

    Jump

  • Alright, I have to admit that sometimes I do install some stuff not the debian way...

    and I would lie if I'd said that I never compiled stuff against a newer version of glibc (and glibc itself...) that my distro had... so in these means, yeah, I kinda need to tinker sometimes and do super janky stuff.

    I have to admint you've got a point there and made me kinda thinking...

  • Do people with newer pcs prefer rolling release?

    Jump

  • I have a relatively new PC and eventually I decided at Debian Stable.

    Granted, I was already somewhat familiar with APT and Debian based systems, but I also was thinking to choose something different or even a rolling release distribution...

    ...but at the end of the day, I wanted a stable, useable, tested and functional system that I can't easily fuck up or can restore if needed, because, well, it won't be a first time I bork a Linux system with misconfiguring stuff or doing something straight out stupid. But this is irrelevant this case.

    I ain't that super familiar with Linux world, so I deliberately chose the safe way. My hardwares are working fine, I have the drivers that work for everything, games running amazingly well... in the past 2 years I use Linux as main OS, I had no problems not being bleeding edge. I kinda had some minor FOMO when Plasma 6 came out and I was "stuck" on 5 with Debian 12, but didn't had to wait too much for Debian 13 that has Plasma 6 by default. Though, I reinstalled everything when 13 came out - but only because I wanted some changes on my partition table, I added a new disk and... I wasn't quite happy how I managed some things with it so I wanted a fresh start - so wasn't upgrading to 13, but I assume it wouldn't be a problem either, not too long ago I upgraded my server from Debian 10 to 12, without issues. (From 10 to 11 and to 12. First I tried from 10 to 12, that was a disaster though. However, the documentation explicitly said not to do such thing, so it was on me.)

    I was tinkering with my tech stuff all my life, I now really just want a stable, working OS. But it's just personal preference, I have nothing against rolling release and I can imagine that there are scenarios where rolling release is the better choice.

  • KDE Going all-in on a Wayland future

    Jump

  • No, I haven't, but will check it out, thanks!

    I didn't know InputLeap is also abandoned. Heck, I moved to it from Barrier for the same reason :P

  • KDE Going all-in on a Wayland future

    Jump

  • InputLeap is the only thing that keeps me on X at the moment. Especially since I need it between a Linux host and a Windows client. It just doesn't work if I use Plasma with Wayland unfortunately and honestly, the github page of InputLeap is everything but helpful.

  • What We Talk About When We Talk About Sideloading

    Jump

  • I assumed it meant using a separate device or software on the side

    That's what it is. I remember actually sideloading apps to my BlackBerry 10 devices (Z10 and Z30) (though it really wasn't that long ago not to remember it...) using a PC with a Chrome based browser (though it worked on Firefox too with some minor fiddling) to push and install .bar files to the phone. That is what sideloading to me.

    Now this term changed, so everything you install from a different source than the built-in appstore is called sideloading, which is ridiculous IMO.

  • My computer randomly freezes, but only on my Linux drive. How do I even begin troubleshooting this?

    Jump

  • Unrelated, but I had something relatively similar once with my Inspiron 7520 laptop. In theory, that machine only supports 8GB of RAM, but technically I could put 16 into it and worked fine. Later I upgraded to a different machine and put this laptop aside, but sometimes I set it up if I go to friends place and need a PC to do some light multiplayer lan parties or such.

    For a while, the laptop has a strange locking up issue when I booted 64 bit OSs. Or I don't know, after my testings, it seemed that booting a 64 bit OS would crash my machine sooner or later. Maybe even right after boot, maybe after when I logged in or used it for some time. Booting into Memtest also locked up eventually the laptop (but running the 32 bit version of Memtest didn't). Pulling out either memory stick (2x8GB) solved the issue, it worked with both sticks on both slots, if I used only one. The two sticks together on the other hand made my machine crash after boot, no matter which stick went to which slot.

    Difference is that every OS did this, not just Debian, though Windows seemed to keep up longer in this case, but it also crashed on me.

    Now I don't have this problem. It just... disappeared after not using the laptop for a while again.

    So... if it's not software issue, maybe try to reseat your RAM sticks. Or use some compressed air to clean up the slots, maybe check the contacts of the sticks and clean them with some isopropyl and a soft brush.

    It also can be storage issue, if your Windows install works fine on a different drive. Once I had an Ubuntu installed to the same laptop I mentioned and its HDD was failing hard, but the system kept up for a while, just had some really weird issues popping up here and there. But then eventually failed completely. Amongst the weird happenings, random freezes were also a thing with my bad HDD.

  • GrapheneOS is finally ready to break free from Pixels, and it may never look back

  • that would be wonderful

  • YouTube ReVanced vs NewPipe

    Jump

  • I use NewPipe instead of Vanced for a few months now. Aside from a bug where it can't load large playlists, it's fine, I had no problems with it, and this large list loading bug is also fixed in a random development build apk, so that's fixed.

    The interface is... not the most convenient in some places, but it's no worse than the official YouTube app.

    But it's good. If you don't need your account's recommendations or don't want to comment, it's perfect.

    I did the change, because for a while I had to use a... weird little Android phone (Qin F22 Pro) and NewPipe was my only option to have YouTube. Since then I've got a different phone, but still stuck with NewPipe, to me it's more than enough on the phone. Mostly I use it for listening music in the background, but not exclusively.

    It's an interesting plus that it can handle SoundCloud and BandCamp too.

  • Is it so hard to get Nvidia GPUs working with Linux?

    Jump

  • RTX5070 works almost straight out from the box on Kubuntu stable. Had to try few of the drivers from the built-in utility to find which worked, but the latest version and open one did the trick. So no, it wasn't hard to get it working properly :)

  • Switching the gf to Linux

    Jump

  • My gf recently built a PC for herself and just did moved her from Windows to Kubuntu stable as well. I was kinda surprised, she was the one who came to me and told me that she doesn't want Windows 11 so she's open to try out Linux. I changed to Linux (Debian) myself for a year and a half and she probably noticed that I still play my games and use it the very same way I did with Windows. I told her that most of the apps has alternatives, running games isn't a big a deal anymore and if she really really need to run Windows software, there's a great chance she can. (But this didn't occured).

    My only concern was full Huion Kamvas support and crativity apps, 2D drawing and all that... but she's open to use and learn Krita, it seems she likes it. But if that won't work out, my small research told me that ClipStudio Paint (the one she used on Windows) works well with Wine. The Huion tablet just worked out of the box, with pressure sensitivity and all that jazz. (Buttons don't work though, but Huion has official Linux drivers which supposed to make them work, so that's awesome.)

  • Deleting Files

    Jump

  • Why would they not include these into base kit Windows is beyond me.

    Some of them felt a bit buggy when I last time used Windows, maybe they aren't fully ready to ship (like Samsung's Good Lock apps?). And most features didn't do quite what I imagined it to do, but that's probably a "me problem".

  • Deleting Files

    Jump

  • back in the XP days, I used a software called "Unlocker" just for this problem. It probably still exists, I don't know, because since Windows 7, the easiest way to find out what process locks a file is to open Resource Monitor (Start search: resmon) and on the CPU tab, using the "Associated handles" list, you can search for the file name and see the process in question (and kill it).

    So yeah, Resource Monitor is a useful tool on Windows.

  • What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur?

  • though now that I think about it, simply "butthole" would be enough. everyone has one, still feels offensive enough and works universally.
