And people ask me “why” when I chose LMDE over Ubuntu-based Linux Mint.
This shit is why. Canonical is huffing their own farts at this point. Don’t dangle shit in front of me if it comes at a price. And yes, I know Linux Mint isn’t under Canonical, but at this point I would rather not support anything Ubuntu-related.
Yeah, so Ring cameras?
Every GPS-capable device made in the last decade utilizes GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo.
Phones already do that with cell towers. It’s called A-GPS (augmented GPS). Cell towers, wifi, and even bluetooth, are used in addition to GPS/GLONASS/Galileo signals.
Pretty much every GPS-capable device made in the last decade uses all systems available: GPS (USA), GLONASS (Russia), and Galileo (EU).
Reddit mods can’t see who reported things, only that something was reported. I used to be the head mod for a 1M+ sub. The admins can see that though, and mods can forward reports to the admins for review.
You got IP banned, damn.
Social media should never be corporate, ever. Fuck reddit, fuck Meta, fuck LinkedIn, and all the rest.
Except Tom from Myspace, he’s cool.
I got permabanned a couple weeks ago for saying “the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi”
Like, why are you defending Nazis, spez? Huh?
It solidified Lemmy as my permanent reddit replacement. No ragrets.
The restaurant that forces you to use their app doesn’t exist
Here is one such restaurant (have to use their website via QR code, but same idea) near where I live: https://maps.app.goo.gl/6LhBMo5duVzSB9HE9
That said, it’s clearly not the only restaurant in town, and nobody is forcing a gun to your head to eat there.
I can smell the burning plastic from here
In windows’ defense, the “complication” comes from the fact that there is no constant visual display of the filesystem structure in a terminal window like there is in the Windows registry.
That said, taking an hour to become comfortable with the terminal is not a difficult task. Understanding ~, and constantly using df -h and ls -al (for me anyway) will help a lot of people figure it out.
UEFI has been the norm for well over a decade at this point. If you’re trying to run a brand new GPU in a 15+ year-old system, you’ve already made many mistakes.
US carriers are wise to that already. The biggest cost with US carriers is data - one can get a really cheap no-data plan with texting and calling for next to nothing, but a data-only SIM will still be like $20/mo at the minimum.
Is it unfair? Absolutely. Unfortunately we in the US always get the shaft because corporations have much more power than the people.
I have a Brother MFC-9340CDW that I salvaged from work last year; we replaced it because it kept getting a ghost “paper jam” every time you tried to print something. Turns out the cause is an $18 board that’s known to fail. Scanner still works fine though, strangely.
I also have a Kyocera FS-3900DN b&w laser printer from 2006…or somewhere around there. It does the thing, and can even be managed with a CUPS server since it has 10/100 networking.
Now to figure out how to disable automatic firmware updates on the Brother 🤔
You would be shocked.
My ex has called the cops on me more than a few times in our past, because she just didn’t like how I was doing things. After I remarried and moved in with my now wife, my ex called the cops and CPS on us for abusing our kids (we don’t - we just have reasonable rules). That was a fun one and ended up with me getting a lawyer and dragging her to court. The judge was not happy with her. Also, my neighbor called the cops on us a few months ago because one of my kids was having a temper tantrum, and then again because my two older kids (and some neighborhood friends) purposefully excluded her kids from whatever game they were playing. We had a talk with our kids about excluding others and why you shouldn’t do that, but between you and I, those kids are brats and bully a lot of other neighborhood kids.
That’s just a taste of crazy. It’s not out of the realm of possibility for someone to be batshit enough to call the cops over an innocent baby-in-the-bathtub picture (though like I said, parents shouldn’t be sharing that on social media anyway, but here we are).
The “small” P9P is considerably larger than the iPhone 12/13 mini, which is the size OP wants.
The “small” P9P is considerably larger than the iPhone 12/13 mini, which is the size OP wants. My mother-in-law has an iPhone 13 mini and it’s very small, but nearly as fully-featured as the standard iPhone 13, which is where other manufacturers keep missing the mark.
IDK, they may have changed things since I was a mod last. It’s been at least 4-5 years.
