  Yeah Librewolf does go really fucking hard on security/privacy to the detriment of functionality, but the are upfront with that so you shouldn’t be going in completely blind. I think Water Fox is a nice happy medium for users that don’t want to fuck around with technical stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone able to identify this fried component?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I probably won’t be able to identify it, but including the name of the thing it’s a part of along with a model number would help.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox as a platform is officially dead⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The issue is most games nowadays don’t work on day one, and you’ll probably have to download patches for it. The main selling point of plug and play for consoles is almost irrelevant with current publisher (and possible development) practices in the industry.

  Nah your overall meme is defeatist as fuck. Your saying no matter who you vote for the trolley will run ove everyone. I don’t disagree with the sentiment, but this bullshit dichotomy doesn’t help.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the two party system is just one big party⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We really need to stamp down on this “but both sides suck” bullshit. Yes the establishment Democrats suck, but this defeatist bullshit doesn’t help. I know it would be great to live in a country where there isn’t a two party system l. No hate towards you this subject just got me ramty as fuck.

  Totally valid reason to not respond. Take care of yourself before you take care of someone else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dating app triggered rant IDK I just want to cuddle and talk to someone⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a disclaimer I did not read your entire post, but I have learned dating apps are for a subset of people. While they’re attractive for the wide swath of people you have access to, it’s very surface level. In terms if f improving your life find some hobbies that inherently have you meeting people. Personally dancing helped me a lot in that regard. The best connections I’ve had with people is meeting them and not even thinking of dating them. Granted that does happen naturally, but putting yourself around people that you find attractive ia a very good way to handle the emotions you had in your post. My DMs are open BTW

  Hey if you didn’t have the emotional capacity for that good for you.

  Is the cross section of a cone not a circle, or semi circle in this case since we only see part of the “cone”?

  I immediately thought of this, and you beat me to it. Honestly it seems to be a very nuanced account of autism. It’s certainly unusual but bro got great joy from watching ships and people only found it a bit odd.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deshittification⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was more interpreting the community name as deshittifying your own personal experience with different technologies that are FOSS or at the very least open source. Would be a good place to post when companies are forced to (or even choose) to do something that is significantly more consumer friendly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell admits consumers don’t care about AI PCs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I don’t mind AI as another tool in the tool belt, but it’s being forced as the magic one-size-fits-all solution. Also the AI tools must be opt-in by default.

  Maybe having a spot where the sales don’t take a cut? That way slop that doesn’t sale much doesn’t benefit, but when a good indie comes along that sales well it would make a difference.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Typing on a keyboard is kind of like sign language⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was going to comment that this reads like someone who hasn’t interacted with sign languages before, but I totally see where they are coming from. I only really have experience with ASL (and that is 1 semester in college), but I would imagine most if not all sign languages do a lot more than just finger-spelling.

  I thought voluntary scanning was already on the books (this is what I gathered from the article)? What makes this version different?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would believe it, those fuckers are smart and if they were social creatures I think they would be in competition with humans for the dominant species . This is an opinion of a person not super well versed on octopi so take this with a good size grain of salt.

  I’ve heard anecdotal evidence that the anti-malaria medication the US military uses that cause people to have recurring nightmares. If you’re taking a medicine that is supposed to effect the brain I don’t see any reason why it couldn’t effect your dreams.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nobody Has Ever Wanted Your Website to Do This⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can block auto play in Firefox and related browsers FYI (dunno about other browsers off the top of my head). I guarantee you that the web devs that made this also hate it, but the higher ups/marketing dept demanded it. Speaking as a person who has been in web dev for a little over a decade, I hate this shit, but all the pushback will do nothing unless you can find a way that would make the company legally liable.

  Ah that would explain why I didn’t know. I have next to no experience with Apple devices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well it does depend on your exact use case, but using a proper database is usually the better option for production. Now if this is just some little service you made for yourself use whatever you want.

  Wait is APFS a new file system than NTFS? Guess I’m too busy on my Tiktoks and Nintendos to keep up to date

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like a low quality one then. I’ve had zero issues with mine at home and work (used them for years), so I’m adding this brand to my avoid list.

  What distro of Linux did you install on the laptop? I’ve had no luck getting wine to work on Fedora, but my desktop is running Bazzite which is based on the steam deck OS and I’m games run great (sometimes with tweaking required).

  I’m ignoring you’re requirements and am gonna suggest you use GIMP instead. In all seriousness, you may want to look into a dual boot situation where you have Windows in a partition just big enough to do all the work you need to do. You could also look at VMs, but I’m not sure how well they would play with something that is resource hungry like Adobe products.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t say that data is definitive proof. The table is missing ages from 30-under 65 from the table (at least if you’re not logged in, if there is a more complete table please share). Also not sure how good some of the questions are for determining tech literacy. Knowing that Elon Musk ran both Tesla and Twitter in April 2023 is more if you keep up with the news rather than knowing how to work a computer. Other ones are good like being able to identify 2FA or knowing what LLM/AI is capable of.

  The beep multimeters make when in continuity mode. It is a way to test that 2 points are electrically connected with little/no resistance. If they are connected the multimeter will emit a continuous beep. If there is no beep than either the components aren’t connected or there is a resistor or something else preventing the connection. The amount is resistance required to prevent a connection (measured in ohms) tends to be possible to set on the multimeter
