I got an iPad, think it was second generation. That thing was fucking useless. Couldn't do anything without a subscription service. Games sucked. Couldn't sideload. Don't know what I was thinking.
A decade later I got a galaxy tablet and its one of the most useful things I've ever bought. Writing tablet in meetings. Second screen while gaming. Portable screen while training/cooking. OLED is perfect for reading comics.
Sorry I think I got distracted and missed the spirit of the question.
Pretty sure this was already part of the ESTA visa application form that tourists need to fill in. Don't get me wrong; it's fucking bullshit as an entry or as a citizenship requirement. Just saying it's not a new form of Orwellian overreach for the US government.
Me too, but I still prefer this place to reddit. I have the same exact gripe: those that must be the most right. I've just found a lot more of them on reddit than lemmy. I have lost count of the amount of times I start to write something on reddit, then imagine how someone somewhere, from some angle, can decide to be offended if they want to, then just delete the comment. It definitely happens on lemmy too, it's just in my experience it has happened less here, so I have been more willing to type out comments here. It really sucks that this has not been your experience.
The pivot charts and tables drive me kinda nuts. Typically I have a dataset I've prepared in python and find pivot tables faster and easier than matplotlib. In excel I make a Data tab and connect it to an external CSV, then in another tab pick my filters, columns and rows, and then chart type. Then I iterate - run the Python again to make a new CSV and just press refresh in excel and I get updated visualisations. This workflow just doesnt work for me in Libre Office. Can't figure out how to live link CSVs. Pivot tables are OK but oubot charts are not a thing - have to manually point them at a dataset and there's no nice panel to choose columns and rows.
I dunno, maybe it's just I gotta learn a different way but honestly just easier to use a windows VM for this stuff.
Across Mexico, more than 100,000 people are registered as disappeared. But that figure could be an undercount, given that many fear to report cases to the authorities.
Most countries have announced increased defense spending with support across the political spectrum and EU defense stocks are one of the few safe havens left during this tariff nonsense. France has offered a nuclear umbrella to its neighbours. Poland is up to 5% GDP on defence. Not sure what you mean by limited support but maybe I misunderstand.
Well shit. Guess I really have to ditch Mozilla. They make a great product and had a great mission - also generated a heap of revenue. But I guess why settle for good money when you could sell out your principles (and our data) in the pursuit of More Money🤦♂️
Did this once on a router in a datacenter that was a flight away. Have remembered to set the reboot in future command since. As I typed the fatal command I remember part of my brain screaming not to hit enter as my finger approached the keyboard. 🤦♂️
I would think it's a good thing that there are a lot of greybeards in FOSS? If the claim is true, then it should mean that once you get into FOSS you tend to stay there.
The article seems to be referring to FOSS code contribution more than user adoption, but the same idea holds. The more I learn about my distro and its packages, the less scared I get about something going wrong that I can't fix and the less likely it is I will go back into an OS riddled with ads and spyware.
For code contribution I only ever managed to do a PR for a Kodi plugin, and even then it was only because this amazing guy from their team walked me through the whole thing step by step. It was quite intimidating figuring out how to do that stuff for the first time.
