I didn’t have any intention of arguing…I was curious what you didn’t like about it. You’re entitled to your opinion.

What did Fedora do to hurt you so much?

Technology@beehaw.org•[Popular Tech YouTube Channel "Gamers Nexus" was] Contacted by the US Secret Service | The AI Surveillance Center DystopiaEnglish
2·21 days agoGN went offensive on a company critical to US national security interests and were contacted by the secret service. Makes sense.

1·21 days agoI don’t think he was chasing clicks before. The reporting GN has done has always been very informative and fairly accurate. Including his recent China thing.
That being said, I think since his big documentary he is looking for that same high and I do expect some degredation in quality because of that. Not saying I have seen it yet, but it’s a probable outcome and I’m watching for it.
If you have free internet in the area, like public wifi from the city, The shopping centre probably have an agreement with the provider to help extend the range. They put the dish up to connect to the existing network and then pump it out with repeaters around the shopping centre.

Linux@lemmy.ml•KDE's start menu bugs make it feel 100x slower than it isEnglish
5·21 days agoThat’s wild, I’m on Fedora KDE and haven’t noticed any of these issues so far… Opens pretty fast, finds what I’m looking for. I didn’t see the UI bug he’s talking about with items being misaligned. I must just be lucky.
Yeah! They sleep in trees and when it gets in the 40s something about the cold causes their muscles to stop working and they just fall out of the trees.
I so miss Voicemeeter since switching to linux. Pulsemeeter is good, but not quite as intuitive. I’ve had some good luck with something called Easy Effects I found just this week.
My usecase is just configuring input devices right now. Not sure if Easy Effects will do hotkeys which is what I really enjoyed in Voicemeeter.
Kernel 6.16.4 had a bug that caused packet loss. Patched in 6.16.5. Looks like Bazzite just updated (today?) from 6.16.4 to 6.17.5.
EDIT: Adding link talking about the bug

DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•Well, I cannot bypass Youtube's age restriction anymore without either taking a selfie or showing an ID or giving my credit card numberEnglish
11·1 month agoThe other question could also be asked. So while you see it as “the logical assumption” there were other options. I’m sure you can see where the miscommunication happened. Hope it helps you in the future

6·1 month agoThat’s full identity verification giving them a credit card. They may be required to delete the card, but they aren’t going to be required to delete a record that says we confirmed the identity of this account with a credit card on this date. If you don’t want your name and social security number tied to your google account don’t give them your credit card.
Frankly though, we all know google is the worst of the worst for privacy. Bypassing the age verification will only by OP time.

1·1 month agoAre you asking why OP would want to use youtube or why OP would want to bypass the age verification? From context seems like it could be either of those.
Location could just be from when the account was made right? I’m sure it would be very difficult to create a new account while utilizing a VPN considering how active reddit has become in blocking connections from known VPN providers.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What’s something you own that has truly paid for itself?English
7·1 month agoThe modem. At some point ISPs started charging a rental fee for their provided modem. When I noticed it was 12 dollars a month, not sure what it might have gone up to by now. You can buy a decent modem on the lower side of a hundred ish dollars. Pays for itself in the first year.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•ELI5: Is browsing on 4g/5g networks less secure than on your own wifi?English

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How many hours spent on video games is an addiction??English
2·1 month agoPiggybacking on this good comment. The handful of doctors and counselors I’ve met always say an addiction is defined as something that impedes other areas/responsibilities of your life. If you are consistently skipping important things like taking care of children, going to work/school, basic hygiene because you can’t stop playing roblox… then that is an addiction.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Aren't we basically morons if we elect another president?English
51·2 months agoThis is the level of upset they want you. They want us to say things like “why have another election”
The system wasn’t perfect before. It’s an institution designed to cater to basic needs and maintain peace for hundreds of millions of people. It’s unreasonable to expect perfection with that many moving parts. The system of government should continue being modified as problems are discovered. Completely dismantling it because one guy found a way to fuck it up is not the answer. Getting that guy out and unfucking it back to at least where we were before is what’s needed right now.
He wants you angry. He’s actively trying to insight civil war. Terms like “radical” get thrown around now to justify violence later. He wants us to think we need to dismantle the entire government. We don’t. We need to get him out and put it back together. I fully understand the government didn’t serve all people equally prior to trump and there were parts that were broken, but seriously was it as bad as what we’re going through now? Personally, I don’t think so. Democrat or Republican I’d take any past president over what we have now.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Have you ever traveled outside of America? (Not to Canada or Mexico)English
1·2 months agoThat guy was an ignorant jerk who fell victim to the propaganda machine combined with the deteriorating education system. Sadly, we have a lot of those kind in the US. You didn’t meet them during your time in the hospitality industry because they mostly don’t have passports.
In KDE if you furiously move the mouse pointer in frustration, as one would when they can’t find it, the pointer will grow in size. Brighter minds than mine might be able to port that into Cinnamon.

In this specific instance, it sounds like education on how to safely communicate and interact with ICE, or at least best available practices, was shared to people who may not have otherwise gotten any info at all. That seems like something to me.
