Why do people insist on doing this?

At this point I have completely given up on printer drivers. I just put files on a usb stick and plug it into the printer to print. Printer doesn't have that functionality? Oh well, it's as good as broken to me. Biking to the local library will take less time and kill less nerve cells than troubleshooting that piece of crap. I can only pray for people like you who have to work with this mess on the daily.

Totally on board with the message, but, isn't this, like, a direct violation of rule 2? Or are we going with the Gamer(TM) definition of "politics" where any stance that the community agrees with is inherently non-political?

Two accounts on Reddit post 30%-50% of all content on r/conservative on a daily basis except one day when there happened to be a power outage in part of Moscow

Reminds me of an old soviet joke:

Q: Now that Stalin has died, what happened to his cult of personality?A: The personality has died, that is true, but the cult lives on.

"Advanced Privacy" app on /e/-os (opensource android ROM) sends me occasional notifications about apps with most trackers haha. Also has a "wall of shame" (it's literally called that) where you can browse the worst offending apps

It’s far more racist to assume only minorities work for Door Dash

Yeah agreed. Racial profiling is still racial profiling, using euphemisms like "lower class" and "minority" instead of the usual slurs doesn't make it okay.

The original headline is "'No Way to Prevent This' says only country where this regularly happens". If you look closely at OP's meme, you can actually see the font changes after the "only" (baseline is slightly lower; uses lighter color; kerning of eve in "Prevent" is completely different )

But yeah shit take anyway, just because the US is famous for shootings doesn't mean that it's any more dangerous than other country

My hot take on the official pronunciation of GNOME

Jump

renzev @lemmy.world 2mo ago

I personally pronounce it with a hard G even when talking about the mythical creature because that's how it's pronounced in most other languages that have a similar word. Anglos can go fuck themselves with their needlessly complicated phonetics.

You know this will only make people want to dig deeper, right? Whoever is paying you off to pretend like nothing is going on should've really told you to use an alt or something.

No LUFS regulations are the reason you use subtitles to watch TV – Tom Scott YT (7:58)

Jump

renzev @lemmy.world 3mo ago

Can we stop with this subtle EU propaganda slop? I LIVE in an EU country and I have the exact same problem with modern movies. This has nothing to do with who gets to make the laws, there are only two reasons why everything needs subtitles now:

Because of advancements in microphone technologies, actors don't need to speak as clearly and are getting lazy as a result.
Movies producers are assholes who think that everyone has a 50000$ surround sound home theater system and master the movie soundtracks accordingly -- which makes explosions and action scenes sound WAY TOO LOUD on normal people sound systems.

YSK about qalculate, an opensource, versatile calculator with nice cli(and gui)

Jump

renzev @lemmy.world 3mo ago

I love how new versions of the CLI have the result automatically update as you type. Nice to see people going above and beyond to make CLI's pleasant!

YSK: there's a browser extension called "SingleFile", which allows you to save any page into a single HTML file.

Also recommending ArchiveBox -- it takes the shotgun approach to archiving websites, making snapshots with a bunch of different tools, singlefile being among them. You can use it as a one-shot command, or run it as a web server which provides a UI for archiving web pages. Linkwarden is similar.

IMHO the only reason to go above 60Hz is for better responsiveness in competitive games. Otherwise it's just a meme, definitely a total gimmick on smartphones.

Is there something like GitHub, but without big tech involvement, no data collection, no ads, open source, and preferably decentralized (maybe Fediverse or even P2P)?

Jump

renzev @lemmy.world 3mo ago

Forgejo is an activitypub-enabled Git forge software, and codeberg is one of the largest forgejo instances.

Tangentially related, but git-annex, and, in particular, its sync subcommand are a great tool for storing files and managing git repos across multiple machines (and even just loose drives) in a "P2P" way without any centralised server

It depends on the phase. Sometimes you get constructive interference and they add up instead.

Trump says he’s designating Antifa as a terrorist organization

Jump

renzev @lemmy.world 3mo ago

Didn't he already do that in his last term? I still remember the jokes people made back then, like "how can it be a terrorist organization if it's not receiving weapons shipments from the US government!?"

How to find offline alternatives to software-as-a-service and apps with unnecessary internet connections?

Jump

renzev @lemmy.world 3mo ago

I sadly can't recommend any communities for this, but what I do know is that search engines have been basically useless for finding software alternatives for a while. Search results are just full of for-profit bullshit trying to sell you their stupid app or low-effort list sites like alternativeto.net. If I need to find an offline alternative to some specific tool, as ironic as it is, I usually just ask an LLM. They work pretty well as a sort of reverse-search engine for finding software based on a description of the features.
