I really want to know all 506 people who bought this Faraday cover for their WiFi router. And this person who complains "slight interference with my signal strength"... And this other guy who isn't "feeling any radiation sickness" BUT he's happy the "Wifi isn't being blocked" #faraday #dummies
well well. Got the AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT E-GPU enclosure (using it over OCULink) - works really well through ROCM and Linux! Linux FTW. I can get at least 3-4 words a seconds out of its 20-21 teraflops of power, certainly nowhere near the 100+ Teraflops of Int16 floatingpoint you get on RTX 5060 TI or above, but better than the 15 to 16 you get on the RTX 4060. In my tests it does way better, at least compared to the 780M Radion GPU that's built-in, it's a huge leap forward. Probably a near 3-times jump.
So conservatives are calling for people to drop Netflix because of a few transgender shows they have on the streaming service. These people need to realize these streaming services serve a wide variety of people and beliefs, not just their narrow minded world view. They are not going to just cater to the closed mindedness of a few people who can't be bothered to just change the channel. They are claiming that these shows are pushing a "transgender agenda" whatever that is supposed to mean. They are just TV shows and nothing more, if you don't want to watch them then don't. Now I want to check them out just to see them. I would not have even heard of them if it had not been for some nuts getting their panties in a wad. So Netflix should thank these people for the publicity. Back in my day if our parents didn't want us to watch something you know what they did, they didn't let us watch it. We may not have always agreed with it but the rules were enforced. My folks didn't expect the TV networks to do their job and baby sit us. They were smart enough to know that there were going to be some shows they didn't like so they didn't watch them and didn't let us watch them until we were old enough to make those informed choices on our own. It is time we got back to the days of learning if you don't like something on TV then don't watch it. Stop thinking you have a right to decide what everyone else watches because you don't. These calls for people to drop a certain service or boycott a TV show usually have the opposite effect because they make people curious about the shows. Also most people are smart enough to realize that these shows and services are not pushing some kind of agenda. I mean to shows with straight people push a straight agenda? The whole idea is laughable to most of us. It is simple. If you don't like it, then don't watch it and something else to keep in mind, Netflix was not meant to do your job as a parent. Being a parent means deciding what your own kids watch, not everyone else's. Do your job and don't expect Netflix or any other TV network or streaming service to do it. Being a parent is not their job, it is yours.
A year of sunrises - 13 pictures of the sun, each month, same place, same time.
"One of the best places in Edmonton to see the sunrise point change along a familiar horizon is Valleyview Drive, which is where I photographed sunrise once a month for a year. This image is the final result of stacking 13 sunrise images from Dec 2020 to Dec 2021, to visually depict the change in the sunrise point over a year." - Photographer, Luca Vanzella.
@tychotithonus it's not clean, you have to replace all the packages after you change the repos. And then force install the FreeBSD-* packages over the GhostBSD-* packages. It's annoying and it will eat your /etc/passwd and group files. You could break your system I bet, and it would be annoying to have to boot up a rescue disk to repair it, but it went fine for me. I was prepared for surgery if necessary 🥸
Because I've been impersonated by a certain troll who I'm sure would like their name mentioned, I want to make it clear that this is my official account. If you receive any messages or follow requests from accounts other than this one on mstdn.social, then it's a fake, and was set up without my permission. Feel free to contact me if you're not certain; there's no harm in checking. Parody accounts of this nature will be blocked and reported.
@DavidGoldfield Thanks for letting me know. I was going to report the fake account this morning, but it quickly got suspended. I'll try again if it's back up.
LinkedIn: "Dr. Sarah Morley Wilkins sent you a connection request". Folks, I'm genuinely thrilled! We had a great talk today, hopefully it will be available rather sooner than later. But I'm still thrilled! #Accessibility #Blind #UK
And so you should be. My memories of her are from a Windows 95 tutorial she wrote which I believe also included some graphical depictions of some of the Win95 screens. This was such a valuable contribution.
@DavidGoldfield Oh yeah, I told her today about it. Still today each and every time I need to picture a Windows screen in my head, I have illustrations from her book in front of my mind-view. Absolutely gorgeous work. Now she's doing great stuff also, but for music Braille.
Stacks of boomboxes, radios, cameras, and other vintage tech at an electronics shop on Canal Street. I’m not a tech-head, but I still felt a huge rush of nostalgia walking in to get my stereo fixed. A younger customer wondered what the rectangular slot under a TV screen was for, and asked “What’s VHS?” The proprietor and I looked at each other and laughed, and felt old together.
I doesn't identify the cursor theme that I installed. On my previous OS (which was also Fedora), it was able to do it. I believe since I had it on my root directory, that could be a reason.
Are you in Adelaide today? Come down to U-City where See Differently are hosting Tech Fest. There are lots of organisations here with everything to help you make the most of your tech - including James and Quentin from NV Access!
Vaxry has been known to harass trans ppl. If Framework is putting money towards that, maybe I won't put money toward Framework anymore. Maybe you shouldn't either, until they stop this.
Transphobia is not appealing, especially for the kind of people who would normally be interested in Framework's devices.
We're happy to keep sponsoring and enabling more of the Linux ecosystem! We've also just recently joined @linuxfoundation and become (maybe the first?) corporate sponsor of LVFS (Linux Vendor Firmware Service).
Hi @frameworkcomputer, I am the sole IT purchasing decision-maker at my company. We recently switched to your laptops as our exclusive provider, but we are now back in the market for a supplier who doesn’t fund people who want me and my kind eliminated.
In case you were wondering if your political decision has financial consequences, yes it does.
“I want to be crystal clear on one point: whether on environmental or digital regulation, we set our own standards, we set our own regulations,” says EU Commission chief.
So if we are adding so much renewable power generation capacity, why are we not shutting down coal and gas powered plants? Why, in fact, are we *adding* more?
A large part of the answer here is – *siiiigh* – AI.
And if you hear anyone claiming – like heavily AI invested¹ Bill Gates has claimed² – that "AI" will help solving the climate crisis, remember this:
We really don't need a supercomputer to tell us what needs to be done. This is not rocket surgery. We need to lower fossil fuel emissions. That's it. And we already know this.
AI "helping" with climate crisis is purely hypothetical at this point. But the harms related to this bubble are already here. In form of coal plants not being retired.
Hey, @frameworkcomputer! It's really disappointing to hear you decided to sponsor Hyprland! It's all well and good sponsoring popular Linux software, but do your due dilegence: Hyprland is run by a transphobic asshole who has been ejected from Freedesktop.org over repeated code of conduct violations, and has continued to be wildly toxic in the time since. I don't know if you can back out of that sponsorship now, but whatever you can do, you have to do better.
Newcomers: I’m not going to yell at you about alt text.
But I will tell you, just as a factual matter, if you don’t add alt text to your images they may get fewer faves and boosts. There are people here who rely on it to know what you’ve posted, and many more who won’t engage with media that doesn’t have alt text.
twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross
I've been trying to get the cybercrime journalist @vxdb to abandon their seat at the Nazi Bar, or at least to also post here. So please join me in giving them a follow and a friendly hello.
Two 17-year-old boys have been arrested after a cyberattack on nursery chain Kido.
Police say the pair tried to extort the company by leaking photos of children, alongside the names, addresses and contact details of their parents and carers.
I'm a death lawyer. It's nice. But what surprises me is how rarely people do cool stuff with their money (or their bodies) when they die. "UhHhH tAkE cArE oF mY wIfE wHeN I DiE," "i LoVe My ChIlDrEn EqUaLlY." Grow up.
Where are the bequests of fortunes to shirtsleeve relatives in exchange for spending a night in a haunted house? What about having your remains loaded into a cannon and fired into rush hour traffic? Where are the scholarships for bagpipers and other undesirables?
I love reddit as an endless source of terrible examples. As the new symbolic style has a potential to be very useful outside of GNOME itself, it's maybe worth showing exhibit 3548 for why I hate semantic naming of icon assets:
maybe it's spatial but in the real world. Files get dropped at particular locations where you take your laptop. If you want to access a file again, you must travel to that place.
Just had a dipshit suburbanite yell at me and @monster out of a car window to “not walk on the road” while we were on the bike lane because there is no sidewalk.
In the (cough) single bike lane in my city, it is a point of contention that there's [parking lane][bike lane][sidewalk of debatable utility] and there are numerous auto tyre patching shops along the street. They string the compressor hose across the bike lane; the tyre patchers sit on the bike lane to patch the right-hand tyres of cars.
All the stupid externalities from cars are so maddening.
Rozhovor s muzikantem s ~milionem sledujicich na Instagramu:
"Ja zadnej link delat nebudu. Zadnej muzikant nikdy zadnej link nedelal. Linky mi posilaj. Poslete mi link a kdyz se mi bude libit, tak si ho dam na Instagram."
Kdybyste nevedeli, jak se dela sales v hudebnim svete, tak ted uz to vite. Poslete link.
“The ‘Freedom Convoy’ was a foreign-funded occupation and political destabilization movement, not a grassroots movement about COVID mandates." And of course #PeePee was its hand servant. cultmtl.com/2025/10/observatio…
De opleidingscommissie van de Vakgroep Wijsbegeerte en Moraalwetenschap aan Universiteit Gent besliste om het gebruik van generatieve #AI voor bachelor- en masterproeven dit academiejaar te verbieden. Maar die beslissing wordt van hogerhand teruggefloten. #UGent omarmt generatieve AI en dat geldt voor alle opleidingen.
Het enige waarvoor dat AI gebruik goed zal zijn op termijn is voor hoe goed ik me voel over mijn eigen diploma wijsbegeerte dat nog met eigen, echt onderzoek verkregen is...
Dat de opleidingscommissie dergelijke beslissing neemt, toont alleszins aan dat er ook nog anders gedacht durft worden. Ik neem aan dat de discussie niet gaan liggen is, integendeel.
Nee, het speelt er hard weet ik. Zowel de vragen rond wat AI betekent (voor de filosofie als discipline, voor ons kennismodel, voor onderwijs, voor onderzoek...) als hoe er mee om te gaan. Papers zijn potentieel waardeloos als ze geschreven zijn met/door AI, en ook diegenen die het niet gebruiken zijn hier de dupe van. En laat het (na de computerwetenschappen) nu net de filosofie en andere (vervelende!) menswetenschappen van die faculteit zijn die er misschien het meest interessante over te zeggen hebben!
I am a bit sad today, because I won't be able to finish the next animal illustration, inspired by the Ubuntu release, in time for the official release date tomorrow. It will probably take another two weeks.
Nevertheless, Focal Fossa will ensure the focus remains high ☀️ 💕 ☀️ 💕 Boop the nose for good luck! 🍀
I am sorry to hear that. I presume some people just don't know how to behave. Don't feel sorry, if people are d!cks they deserve to be thrown out of your timeline.
I suddenly realized that quite a few users I follow blocked me. So I blocked them back. I tend to avoid blocking. Most times muting an account is enough, but if we happened to have interactions and you block me just because I wrote something you disagree with, without even giving me a clue or taking part in the conversation, then it's over for me too.
