  • Can Lemmy treat a crosspost like a boost? (merge threads?)

    Jump

  • To deal with moderation conflicts you could basically just unlink the thread.

    Also we could also just add flags to activitypub messages on creating posts to tell the boosting server whether or not merging is permitted.

    If you've worked hard on something and want everyone to see it, set it to True and people can boost it to different communities.

    If it's something personal or an in-joke that you only want to be advertised to the community it's posted in set it to False and the option won't be available when cross posting in the UI.

  • Tribler has it's own in-built onion routing. That might be difficult for your ISP to identify. Idk

  • Which graphical system utlities you miss on Linux?

  • I'd like some kind of visual task scheduler instead of having to read up on how to do cron jobs every time.

  • I bought an HP Laptop with 8gb of Ram...and was suppose to be 256gb SSD. I downloaded one game and its all the way down to 80. Is there any free software to download to help?

    Jump

  • A very silly but useful hack I did to get the MS flight sim install down to about 40GB (normally ~270GB) before I gave up on windows was this.

    Set up a nextcloud server on a raspberry pi.

    Install the client on your windows machine.

    Add your games install folder as a connection on the nextcloud client and enable VFS (virtual filesystem)

    Once synced, right click the folder and select "free up space..."

    This will basically delete the file data from your local machine and redownload it whenever windows tries to access a file.

    Now launch your game and it'll take a while to start as it has to redownload the files it actually needs to run, but it won't bother getting what it doesn't have to.

  • I prefer an oversized black hoodie and a spotlight positioned to only reveal my chin

  • As an average OG ex-redditor, Lemmy needs to move away from it's base barebones UI to something like Photon by default, here's why.

    Jump

  • I don't think it's possible to have a Lemmy UI without JS because it serves up JSON not rendered pages. You could sign up on a kbin/mbin instance though to get a static frontend.

  • UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect Luigi Mangione suggests evidence ‘planted’ after arrest

    Jump

  • Wait. Does that mean sellers are not obliged to track sales of uppers and barrels and the rest? Yeah I can see why lawmakers are pissed off now lol.

  • What's the point in those beyond a tech demo though? Don't they use so much of the donor gun that it's effectively no different to just scrubbing the serial number but with a lot more effort?

  • Cold water falls to the bottom of a kettle and boils on the bottom. Microwaves can miss the bottom, possibly?

  • I'm also sceptical of the ghost gun thing. AFAIK the only real ghost gun is an FGC9 which is about the size of a submachine gun and is definitely not what is seen in the video.

  • PeerTube mobile app : discover videos while caring for your attention

    Jump

  • It's integrating as best it can. It has an embeddable player and LDAP logins. It's kind of a failure on the part of other platform Devs to use it.

  • Everyone gangsta until you realize everything has been deeply compromised

    Jump

  • Lol.

    Seven years ago I spent hours trying to explain to my MP that this would happen if they weakened encryption and put in back doors.

    He seemingly couldn't get his head round the fact that you have to assume foreign adversaries have access to everything in transit and they're not going to be worried about longer prison sentences designed to make up for weaker security.

    I should send him an email asking if he understands the argument now it's coming from an American in a suit and not just one of the plebs.

  • Crypto Cult Science

    Jump

  • The fundamental problem with cryptocurrencies is that the people with the enthusiasm to make them (libertarians), are too stupid (libertarian) to understand why a deflationary asset cannot work as a currency.

    It's inherently a speculative investment. Nobody is going to spend something that might be worth dramatically more tomorrow and nobody is going work for something that might be worth dramatically less tomorrow.

  • I would find it hilarious is the assassin remained at large because people refused to snitch.

    Jump

  • I don't know if it really matters. Earlier this year Palestine Action got released despite having no defence because the judge wouldn't allow them to argue they had to break the law to protect life and property.

  • Who is excited?

    Jump

  • Is there really a significant difference between steamOS and using big picture mode + proton? I've had hardly any issues using steam on Ubuntu to play windows only games. Even Microsoft flight sim works despite trying it's hardest to act like part of windows.

  • [Resin printing] Flexible resin recommendations for tabletop miniatures?

    Jump

  • I've used TH72 a bit. I'd describe it more as shock proof than flexible. It'll certainly make your miniatures robust, but it's nowhere near as soft as something like TPU.

  • I Will Fucking Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again — Ludicity

    Jump

  • it's pretty good for things that I can eye scan and verify that's what I would have typed anyway. But I've found it suggesting things I wouldn't remotely permit to things that are "sort of" correct.

    Yeah. I haven't bothered with it much but the best use I can see of it is just rubber ducking.

    Last time I used it was to asked how to change contrast in a numpy image. It said to multiply each channel by contrast. (I don't even think this is right and it should be ((original value-128) * contrast) + 128) not original value * contrast as it suggested), but it did remind me I can just run operations on colour channels.

    Wait what's my point again? Oh yeah, don't trust anyone that can't tell you what the output is supposed to do.
