Oh you sweet summer child.

gestures at my entire uni classroom, in which nearly all the people I know have RGB peripherals and computers at home

What do you think about Pinephones? I'm thinking about buying one as my next phone.

So I'm not going to change it

• Destroy the internet with AI and then take me to the Internet, so I can satisfy my dopamine-addicted braincell

If I was a JS programmer, I'd just write a bash script to download it every week for fun.

I have to agree. I used to play Rainbow 6 with my friends. I enjoyed it, because I was addicted to gaming and they were the only friends I had. After I switched to Linux, I couldn't play R6 online, which led to them... well... not being friends with me anymore. I'm glad I got out, because if the only thing keeping them being friends with me were the all-nighters of Rainbow, there was no friendship to speak of (I knew these people offline, not just online). After this I eventually stopped gaming completely, not because of a few very minor compatibility issues, but because I realised how much time I was wasting gaming.

So essentially, not only did Linux help me get back control of my computing, but it also completely eradicated my gaming addiction and helped realise what functioning relationships look like, since I even started socialising more. An absolute bargain!

Yakuza branch? I want to know more, I hate Nintendo.

That one was hard. I had to keep reading it aloud for about half an hour...

4. Microservices?

Wow, that's super useful! I don't have thousands of hosts, but even with a dozen, it would save me so much time. Why have I never thought of doing this? Thanks for the idea! (now I just need a few lonely evenings configuring the thing)

What did they automate? I'm trying to get some ideas for my Neov... uhhhh... Emacs with evil-mode setup.

Fair enough. But again, I seriously doubt that Duolingo uses something not supported in Firefox..

This is definitely the case, but I wonder why companies don't add a button, such as "Access website without support", that would get you to the site while clearly telling you that any technical problems (of which, in 99% of cases, there will be none, since all of this seems like supporting Google internet dominance) will be ignored by support.

Your phone cannot be used as a USB by itself. Both the phone and the computer must have an OS running on them already to utilize the MTP protocol, which allows you to transfer files between them.

Edit: A possible approach:

Warning, this is not secure and kind of defeats the point of Tails!

In this scenario, the only way to boot Tails from a phone would be to first boot a different OS on the computer, plug the phone in and mount it using the MTP protocol, then boot a virtual machine image stored on the phone with QEMU or similar.

Please elaborate

I swear there is an XKCD for that

Noob. I prefer to use a screwdriver to poke around the CPU and memory lanes

Are you talking about speed or the amount of data you can transfer? If the speed is unlimited then oh boy, gonna move to Mexico :)

Didn't think about that. Thanks for pointing it out!

Very good solution. However, what benefit does the user get by formatting the drive every time a new game is to be installed? I mean, the thing already doesn't have internet access and no important data is on the drive anyway. Am I missing something?

How about we stop killing people that were convicted? Oh wait, it's the USA we're talking about...

That's more like "TerribleTerrible"

Or the personal information they gather

What are you going to wrap the last blade in if you forget to buy new ones?

Agreed, but I am more of a "Shift + I" kind of guy

Some Slavic languages, such as Russian, use Roman numerals for numbering centuries

Edit: why was this downvoted? If I'm wrong please tell me, I'd like to learn :)

Thank you, didn't know this :)

I mean isn't Lemmy licensed under the AGPL? I'm just asking because AFAIK a proprietary client is not even allowed under this license.

Please. For the love of god, NEVER use a proprietary app to use a piece of FOSS software. I think it's kind of sad that we have this amazing FOSS social network and people use fucking proprietary software to use it.

Capitalist wet dream right here

Thinkpad T60. A relative of mine got it from their employer, IBM, as a decommisioned machine that was only used by said relative. I was 4 years old. I played hours of GTA: San Andreas, then about a year later I installed Ubuntu which sent me down the Linux and C programming rabbit hole. I learned so much. Thank you, kind relative (whom I'll not name, not doxxing myself).

Me downloading this meme knowing it will end up unlooked at, just like the hundreds of memes before it.

Same

Why? Never heard of it but it seems similar to Tails. I'd rather use Tails than something I've never heard about, but is there anything inherently wrong with it?

Can someone please explain? Does the US only have two political parties? That sounds horrendously undemocratic. I know next to nothing about US politics so I may be wrong.

Edit: Also, why is one party called "Democratic" and the other "Republican"? Does this make the Republican party non-democratic? Is this a non-official naming scheme that people created or does seriously only one of them support democracy? Thank you for the answers :)

Everyone has been polarised into an "Us vs Them" mindset. Keep us divided and channeling our collective rage at each other, lest we actually find power in our overwhelming numbers. It hurts.

I'm ready to get downvoted, but this is exactly the reason I'm incredibly sceptical about any conflicts going on, including wars. I just think the possibility of the "two sides" working together just to polarize society is too goddamn high. But of course, as soon as you bring a subject like this into a discussion, you immediately get bombarded with the "you are against my idea so you're an extremist" kind of vocabulary... For example: "Omg you're pro-russian" - meanwhile I volunteer to help Ukrainian people, but I guess I love Russia when I do that. Shit's wild...

Donald Trump

Oh, wait. He wasn't fictional...

I never needed hardcore anonymity but I was always sceptical why people think Briar is anonymous when it uses Bluetooth. Now that I know that the MAC is shared even without using Bluetooth, I'm even more confused. Thanks for the info.

Can you elaborate on the Briar claim? Very curious.
