Does the audio just sound slowed down or is there something else

That resistor better be made of solid gold lol

This article’s two qualms with Linux UI are justified but, I think, somewhat overstated. The first point basically boils down to " ‘Linux’s’ network filesystem handling doesn’t have a GUI and is half baked", which are both true, but this is what happens when you’re making a thousand utilities with a thousand different functions each. There is a will to support SMB, as evidenced by both Gnome and KDE having means to mount it, but the UI isn’t great because it’s not a focus and most people don’t use network shares, so there’s fewer feature requests and less development. Nautilus has 500 issues on the repo and 200 are bugs with 27000 commits from only a handful of authors.

The second issue is less justifiable as the author just wants this Linux utility to work like Windows. Partition management should absolutely only do what you tell it to do. Even on Windows I had to Google how to resize partitions, and I think Googling how to do that using the partition manager you’re using is fair. Gnome Disks even has a nice help page for formatting a disk.

The author says that Linux should be as usable for grandparents as it is for children, and for people who have never used a computer before and only need to do what children and grandparents do (gaming (various caveats), writing, internetting), I think Linux provides a vastly better UX. For people doing advanced tasks (network shares, video editing, etc) there has to be a reasonable expectation of willingness to learn how to use a new operating system

Glad it’s useful to you. Your update might also prove useful to me, so thanks!

Well I’ve got my outfit for tomorrow picked

In the ‘Privacy and Security’ tab in settings theres a checkbox for ‘Clear cookies and site data every time you close Firefox’ and just above it a button where you can go to insert exceptions to the rule. Yeah I think that’ll also remove local storage. Not sure about cache. You can have a little more granular control using the Customize History feature but cookies and local storage are always gonna be linked

Edit: Actually I had forgotten how this works. the clear cookies checkbox automatically enables customized history and you must go there to choose what gets deleted, otherwise it’ll remove history as well.

What I do is disable cookies except for a few sites I use often and trust not to fingerprint me too much. Then if Firefox closes I still have the history and can reopen windows. I also use arkenfox user.js and disable JavaScript using unlock (for the 5 websites that run without js these days) for some extra privacy

I find myself disagreeing with Lemmy more and more these days, but ATC seems like one of those things that could really benefit from AI. I don’t like generative AI being pushed into everything these days either, but a well designed AI can take in all of the things an air traffic controller has to manage and identify things a controller might miss.

Of course this is a money making operation which isn’t ideal because capitalism, but I’m fairly certain this will either reduce or maintain existing incident rates while making it more efficient

I thought this was old news? Didn’t we already find 5/7 of the building blocks to life a while ago and if so what is this new development?

Edit: yeah curiosity has been finding organic molecules on Mars for a while now that are easily explained by life and difficult to explain without it. Looks like this new round of articles is just a/number of new molecule/s that we haven’t seen before See here for one example

I don’t have public transport in my city but if I’m distraught enough to be crying in it then one thing I don’t want is strangers trying to console me

With RGH3 you technically don’t absolutely need a flasher since you can technically flash from within the BadUpdate jailbreak, but a flasher is nice if you need to recover the nand if something goes wrong.

But you may want to consider just going the BadAvatar route. My soldering skills are above average after university but if you’re not used to SMD stuff you will struggle. BadAvatar takes less than a minute and will boot you into Aurora right after it finishes.

Its also worth noting that some later slims can’t be hardmodded at all so just look out for that. I would recommend the consolemods wiki and if you look on YouTube you’re bound to find some resources

While I know this is true I really enjoy having games being fully completed for whatever reason. If there’s achievements then I will play until I’ve got them* (*various exceptions to this rule).

They didn’t add any more achievements thank god. I’ll have to do another playthrough now though.

I wonder if the official modding api will cause more mods to come out. Also how and if it would work with custom tilesets like those used in Jenkas Nightmare.

I use native packages wherever possible, then flatpak’s after that, and then aur pretty much only for things that don’t run well in flatpaks. I really don’t want to have to look through 50 different pkgbuilds every time there’s an update and the downsides to flatpaks are, I believe, largely overstated

That’s actually one of the reasons I didn’t like it. It focuses almost entirely on Cisco router/switch/whatever else setup and gives only minimal background on the actual theory behind networking. That wouldn’t be so bad if this wasn’t the extent of my engineering undergrad experience with networking. We didn’t even technically get the certification because apparently netacad doesn’t count despite being the same content

Apparently unpopular opinion but I don’t think teachers should call students names

Everybody giving all these first year engineering books. Real engineers cry when they’re doing their CCNA certification.

Your boyfriend is pretty cute

Way back in the Reddit days I used to upvote everything I interacted with and liked or thought was contributing to the conversation.

After the API drama I deleted my account, but I still browsed Reddit anonymously for a while before joining Lemmy. Obviously that meant I couldn’t upvote anything. Unfortunately, I think those habits kinda transferred to my Lemmy account and these days I barely upvote anything and downvote a lot of things I disagree with.

I need to put in the effort to relearn both upvoting things in general and upvoting things I disagree with that are contributing to the conversation. It’s just really annoying to have to do that for every post and comment

This doesn’t seem like it’s too hard
