Is snapchat still a thing? Never used that but I thought from screenshots and memes that tiktok killed it (never used that either)

But it’s a Friendica post, not from Mastodon. You can’t write such a long posts on mastodon

Since I stopped using mainstream socialmedia I can’t follow musicians I’m interested in. Some have a bandcamp page and rss works there, but they just upload their albums there, nothing else. At least I get notified about new releases. I tried to follow facebook and instagram pages via rss-bridge, but it’s not working for years now. My selfhosted bibliogram sometimes work, but it’s unmaintained so it will die at some point if instagram changes something. (I just found there is a maintained fork, yess) My ip usually gets blocked, so I get all posts once a week only in batch.

So I’m interested, unfortunately none of them enabled fedi integration yet, (afaik it’s a settings for them in threads) so I’m waiting when they will enable it for everyone.

I don’t want to debate about politics or whatever you are afraid of.

There was a vote about it in !meta@lemm.ee : https://lemm.ee/post/851217

I wanted to vote against defederation (edit: i was offline that week or something, I can see I didn’t vote) I liked on this instance that we are treated as adults, and the admin let us decide what we want to see. You can block instances if you want. Defederating with Threads even before we can see how it would work goes against this philosophy.

Afaik there is no way to see anything from threads on lemmy yet, connection with mastodon like services work only, so we are again debating about a not yet existing thing.

If it will work between threads and lemmy I will look for another instance where I can devide what I want to see.

It’s the most common and most supported 3rd party Android rom:

• https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LineageOS
• https://www.lineageos.org/

Usually you can have 3 kind of rom for an android device:

• Default from manufactuerer: usually locked down, shitty default apps and preinstalled crapware, updates stop soon. Usually stable.
• Cooked/unofficial rom from xda or telegram: some script kiddy has the same phone as you and they share the rom they built from source. Hit or miss, sometimes very good, sometimes terrible. Updates stop when script kiddy gets a new phone.
• Official 3rd party rom, Lineage is the most common, Crdroid, Graphene, eos and other secure and special roms are in this category, but they support far less devices. Updates are automatic, built by a server every month. Someone have to set it up, so you still need someone interested about this in the community, and the manufacturer have to release drivers, firmware. (They should be legally, but noone cares) Usually that’s the best experience you can get on an Android device nowadays

You can still install android on them, BlissOs is a rom for x86 devices. Intel and amd gpu hw acceleration works ootb: https://docs.blissos.org/knowledgebase/frequently-asked-questions/hardware-compatibility/ If you just need for media consumption they are good, some apps don’t work as they only support arm cpus.

The reason is choice and support. On an arm android device you have to wait for the manufacturer for updates or to publish source, so someone can support the device for you. With x86 it’s just a normal, standard pc, you can do whatever you want.

It’s a strange diagram but shows what you have to know. If you ever seen different keyed m.2 cards, you should understand this. The important thing is the location of the keys, the notch. All m.2 cards has an ‘up’ and ‘down’ side, it shows only the ‘up’ side. You have to look inside the receptor to see the pins, that’s why it shows both sides, it’s not possible to see one side only on the receptor as they are in a plastic casing. Usually you can’t see the pins on the mobo, only the key.

You can see a similar diagram on wikipedia, both sides of receptor, top side of card:

The offset you were writing about doesn’t matter, it actually helps. You can’t accidentally insert the card upside down. The location of notches also help with this, as not all possible notches used yet, but in the future it could change.

These connectors are really small. The receptor is similar how sodimm connector works, but smaller. Are you also afraid about inserting a ram in an laptop? It’s basically the same.

Read more about the connector in wikipedia, I’m really happy this slowly replaces sata, msata, mpcie and even pcie in current pcs.

It’s important to note, that these things are designed for the average user. If you want to change the wifi password, you are by far not an average user. Most users just plugs in and never even think about that, and the number of that kind of users are several order of magnitude higher than the conscious ones. For them it’s much more secure to set a random pw. If you let them select a password they will choose 12345 or password.

If you know what you are doing usually it’s better to buy your own router where you can change everything the way you like.

You are right. The user you are replying to has no idea what they write about, as they confessed in another comment.

You seem to love spreading misinformation on the web. Why are you commenting 4 times if you are not familiar with the topic?

This is an m.2 connector. You have to secure it with a screw on the other side. It’s nearly impossible to mess it up.

Apple frequently uses proprietary connectors, I don’t know which one you are reffering to. I won’t guess because I’m not very familiar with all apple connectors.

You don’t have to comment on a topic if you are not familiar with. Please stop.

How this photo related to the fediverse? c/lostlemmings?

It’s true what you write, but it’s not related to Wayland/X11.

But this is the reason CAD software can’t use multiple cpu cores for geometry calculations. The next calculation needs the result of the previous one, it can’t be parallelized.

I’m not familiar with linux mint, why?

Also they can switch to debian base relatively easily

I just read the article and they say exactly what I guessed:

“This approach would guarantee stability on the appointed release day, but was proving unpopular with consumers looking to adopt the latest features and hardware support as well as silicon vendors looking […] to align their Ubuntu support,” Canonical’s Brett Grandbois explains.

But to “provide users with the absolute latest in features and hardware support, Ubuntu will now ship the absolute latest available version of the upstream Linux kernel at the specified Ubuntu release freeze date, even if upstream is still in Release Candidate (RC) status.”

Maybe stability is not a frequent issue nowadays, and they need the new kernel to support new hardware more quickly?

E.g. I can imagine a new linux friendly laptop can’t be sold with ubuntu preinstalled because the old kernel is not supporting some parts yet, but it’s already merged upstream. Or something like that.

18 minutes video about how windows is bad, posted to literally the biggest linux circlejerk forum of the interwebs. Oh a misleading ad trying to sell the same thing as haveibeenpwned, classic.

Nowadays if someone is annoyed by these things can switch to Linux, nearly all games work ootb, hardware acceleration and drm is also working in browsers. For a home user, competitive gaming is the only thing which is not on par with windows.

For company environments where they use software which is windows only, group policy is there, sysadmins can lock down computers that it basically looks like a kiosk with only the few programs the employee need, no notifications, no ai bullshit, these annoyances only affect home users.

Search for “vfio single gpu”, It’s possible, but it has drawbacks. Iirc you have to run everything as root or something like that.

Another recommended way is to run a headless linux as host, and passthrough the gpu to a linux guest next to a windows guest, than you just switch between the guests

Yes that is another option. I know 7zip works there, win11 is mostly the same as win7 under the hood, but I would install a supported frontend instead of fiddling with the registry, tweaks like that can break after updates

I don’t use windows personally, just set it up for others. I don’t care enough to tweak the registry for them, if there are more convenient solutions

File explorer’s built in archiver is still lagging behind, while it’s mostly usable, last time I tried to open a password protected rar, and it didn’t show a pw dialog just failed silently. 7zip opened it correctly

7zip doesn’t support the new win11 rightclick menu (yet), nanazip is a fork with full win11 support:
