You needed: kernel driver, closed source userspace driver, GStreamer plugin, v4l2 loopback driver, v4l2 relay daemon copying frames from the GStreamer source into v4l2 loopback. Technically I could have made it work, I just decided not to.

Earlier this year I was given one of those XPS machines with Ubuntu and decided to install Debian on it. The camera driver was so bad - I can't remember technical details but you can't simply get it to run on another kernel, it was a mess of hacks to get it to work. I decided I won't get a camera driver. "We ship a laptop with Ubuntu" does not necessarily mean working Linux drivers.

EDIT: To add insult to injury, the touch bar suddenly decided to stop responding to input. It's already bad enough to not have tactile feedback for Esc / Fn keys / Delete / Print Screen.

No, I commute in jeans. Makes it super hard to find high-waist jeans that are narrow at the bottom and also have a certain degree of elasticity, so when I find them I buy a lot.

I cycle, so I'm definitely not a fan of low waist jeans. I want my lower back to feel warm and covered.

Yes. https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/fp4/release/focal

Get a Pinephone, or a Fairphone with Ubuntu. More privacy and more features than dumb phones.

Well, maybe you are:

• Planning a surprise party
• Leaving a job
• Trying to escape an abusive relationship
• Famous
• Writing a detective novel
• A writer without a publisher
• Searching about an embarrassing medical condition
• Having a crush in someone
• In the closet
• A teenager with controlling parents
• Having a hobby that's considered embarrassing or childish
• Having a psycho stalker
• Buying a present from Santa
• A reporter who doesn't want to reveal their sources
• Buying a toilet and you don't want toilet recommendations for the rest of your life
• Lending your computer to someone, and you don't want your recommended videos to change
• Under an NDA

... Or maybe you're talking with someone who's in one of those categories.

We have to normalise privacy in order to keep these people safe. For instance, it's a stupid example but it works, if I always use private browser windows, my husband won't suspect anything when I'm looking for a gift for him.

That's only the tip of the iceberg and it's not even touching some bigger problems:

• You can be profiled based on your likes, social media posts, purchase history, etc, and maybe used for election results manipulation, or who knows what else. That's not a conspiracy theory, it has happened, see for instance Cambridge Analytica.
• Maybe the political situation will change in the future. Oops, now your data is suddenly in the hands of a malicious dictator.
• If you keep a backdoor open to let the "good and trusted" actors in, there's no way to not let malicious actors in as well.

SlimSocial for Facebook works, it's just slow.

I also use them on both, KDE has default bindings.

It happened in a Starbucks. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-hSdYkgHuRdU/VNuzCLxuMuI/AAAAAAAADWQ/yHeBV1XPfT4/s640/blogger-image-658967424.jpg

I use this and you can preemptively create some groups you can share your location to, then turn those on. If this works for you.

Ah, no, this is some Internet slang, and oddly enough it comes from the first meaning. AFAIK, the second one doesn't exist in Japanese.

Basically, "hahaha" in Katakana is written as ハハハ. If you line up enough ハハ's, it will look like a series of ｗ's. In chats, they use ｗ (from 笑い、warai) to denote laughter. If you line up enough ｗｗｗｗ's, it looks like grass. That's how 草 ended up meaning LOL.

Well, it's a Tuesday so that means I can get fresh fish in my local street market. Nothing much going on otherwise.

Tortellini with shrimp and tomato sauce (we use frozen shrimp), grilled fish, and basically any stir-fried food.

I use NextCloud News, it's super convenient and also syncs between my phone and computer. I use it for reading the news (playing hide and seek with one news site after another when they inevitably disconnect their RSS/Atom support), for the webcomics I follow, and for keeping up with friends' blogs.

Not a native speaker, but nobody else has jumped in, so here's my understanding of it. Take it with a grain of salt because I'm not a native speaker. If you want I could ask my sensei for clarifications, I just would prefer to not bother her.

These two phrases only have a different nuance, not technically a different meaning. The nuance is exactly what you described in what you consciously know. So you might use the 〜ていた form to say how it was safe for you to go on a hike, and the 〜た form to focus on the season change itself. It's not necessarily wrong to use them interchangeably.

Women don't have balls, therefore they can't store pee, and that explains the longer queues in women's bathrooms. See you next time with a new episode of Troll Biology!

Ah, maybe the difference is that my parents smoked when I was very small. Eventually they both quit and now they both hate the smell. But yes, I also grew up before the smoking ban.

Fair enough. I guess it was so common when I was growing up that I never realised it.

A "simply explained" kind of book, "even foxes can understand".

Oh yes, I completely agree with you! I was saying this exact thing to my sensei some time ago and she couldn't understand what I mean, despite knowing a few foreign languages herself, Japanese is her native language so she couldn't judge it from the perspective of someone learning it as a foreign language. But I also like how everything is well-structured and it's also not full of exceptions. My husband only started learning a few months ago but he also agrees!

I hadn't realised the mistake in Japanese either until my sensei pointed it out, to be fair! 😅

Which Android version are you using? Can you try if this build works? https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/688#issuecomment-1594596500

Oh, "kon kon" is the voice of a fox in Japanese! https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/コンコン

Did it look like car window glass? Could it be that someone parked their car on the bike lane and someone else broke the glass in order to steal?

There's already an issue tracking this, you can follow it here: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/668

Oh, I was looking for a native Japanese instance but couldn't find one. Mind sharing some pointers?

You can also keep an eye on the forum in case someone wants to sell theirs.

Super happy. I've had mine since pre-pandemic and it's still working perfectly. It's even survived an accidental mud bath, I could then open it up myself and clean it.

Fairphone with /e/OS. I also like the fair-trade and repairability aspects of it.

There's still Finnair flight 666 to HEL. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/FIN666

What's your operating system?

Oh that's interesting. I didn't know that, thanks!

By being stressed about finishing what I have to study by the given deadline. If said deadline is far away, there's no hope.

Sometimes I'd break down what I have to do into a schedule that would span several days, or even weeks. I would then have this schedule as my goal: if I don't do enough today to reach my goal, I won't have enough time to finish what I have to study by the deadline.

I find the old Reddit UI to work better when browsing through a list of articles or stories. For images, it interrupts the nice flow I have when I have a bigger image size. I have the same configuration on my RSS feed reader btw: showing the full article in my "webcomics" folder and just title+short preview in my "news" folder.

Neither does 寿 mean vinegar 😅

For my server I use duplicity, with a daily incremental backup and sending the encrypted diffs away. I researched a few more options some time ago but nothing really fit my use case, but I'm also not super happy with duplicity. Thanks for suggesting borgbackup.

For my personal data I have a NextCloud on a RPi4 at my parents' place, which also syncs between my laptop that I've left there. For an offline and off-site storage, I use the good old strategy where I bring over an external hard drive, rsync it, and bring it back.

Cool, thanks! Or we could make another community specifically for memes and jokes.

That's worse than my friend's experience. Someone visited her early in the morning, and in her half-awake state she made him a frappé with raki. There's another experience in my family, where we expected tsipouro but toasted with holy water instead.
