I use the DigitalPersona 4500 with libfprint. Unfortunately, there are multiple revisions of the device with the same model number and only some of them work properly under Linux (different encryption method I believe). As far as I know this is not actually documented anywhere. Googling just shows a bunch of unresolved bug reports of people having no idea why it doesn’t work.
For windows I either use a mingw toolchain from mxe.cc or just run the msvc compiler in wine, works great for standard C and C++ at least, even when you use Qt or other third party libraries.
We can see you totally didn’t do that. Also how would you even get the update?
Open Technology Fund
Which is funded by US Congress, and they also funded Signal.
For those do not wish to use privacy-related projects funded by a world government, what is a good (in your opinion) alternative? Both with and without Tor involvement (since US govt funded that too).
Yes I realize encryption, computers and the internet are all also govt-funded, but everyone is free to pick their battles.
For good privacy (from fingerprinting) it is undoubtedly a bad choice.
I’m really surprised servers have not started by default limiting and/or vetting who can federate with them. I know many Lemmy instances block many other instances from federating with them, but only after learning about what a lot of their content is. To me this practice kinda creates a very fragmented “which wind would you like to piss into” problem.
People don’t know about what they don’t hear about
Some people take the initiative to learn things on their own though. I suppose we’re not their target audience however.
Being a furry is not common
The number of children who identify as a furry in your local grade school would shock you.
It’s also possible the number of people who like it do not outnumber the people who don’t like it
What I do is use the “Arch Linux Archive” repo and set it to a specific date, which has a snapshot of all the packages from that time. That way I don’t have to update all the time but can still install packages whenever I want. When I feel like updating then I just increase the date in the mirror URL. In pacman.conf you would set it like so: Server=https://archive.archlinux.org/repos/2024/08/30/$repo/os/$arch
Batteries do not explode, they burn.
Several solutions have already been posted in here, please do not try to act authoritative when you don’t know the answer. We already saw you asked what VNC is.
People hate being told to use magnetic tape
Because there are still horror stories of them falling apart and not lasting even in proper controlled conditions
not sure but I heard they recently caught the FGC-9 designer

Agreed, and it is a tragedy that this requires snapd.
$700 for an N100 tablet? Yikes. I can’t imagine they would sell enough to stay in business.

It shows up exactly the same for all the revisions though.
