I want to believe, I really do. But I fear that the crypto apps people have grown dependent on will make it harder than the desktop battle. And IDK but I seem to recall every year since at least 2001 being proclaimed to be the year of the Linux desktop.
I rely on my banking apps (plural), governmental email app, government authentificator app and the governmental LMS app for public schools to make my everyday function.

All the people saying to use x thing. This is clearly in a hotel room, otherwise OP would have had other options.
And OP? You monster! The next person to use that iron is bound to be some broke graduate, who have spent their last money traveling for a job interview, and now you’ve destroyed their only decent button down shirt.
- Comment on how do you slice it?? 2 weeks ago:
An astroid the mass of the meat half of a giraffe and the volume of 5kg of somewhat dry duck feathers…
I’m beginning to think that it would more relatable if it was just stated in kg or m^3 instead
- Comment on how do you slice it?? 2 weeks ago:
And is it half the volume, mass or a dimension? Because I’ve never tried neither blending or carrying a giraffe before (I never got invited tonthose parties in uni) so I have no grasp on volume or mass.
- Comment on How can I easily convert rs-232 serial to TTL levels ? 2 weeks ago:
Is the terminal emulator set up correctly in regards to baudrate and stopbits? I would try playing around with these settings. Maybe even go as far as to RTFM.
I haven’t used Dell gear before, but you are sure that it’s not some proprietary protocol that’s running over serial? As in it requires some special software instead of a console?
I’m not sure what you mean by the signals being dirty. If it’s the slope after the initial fast rise you mean, I guess it could be remedied with an opamp, a push-pull pair, an optocoupler, or some other switching circuit with a suitable power capacity. But as long as it gets above the hysteresis threshold for long enough it should be fine. Whether that’s happens you should be able to tell from the scope (which I can’t see while writing in my client)

POV: Be a software developer. It’s 2025. You’re maintaining dialer software for an ISP. The software is written in Delphi or Visual Basic. It’s all you’ve done since 1995. You’ve got 5 years to retirement. Corporate announces end of life for dial up services.

IDK why you’re getting downvoted, large cargo ships can emit the same amount of co2 as 50 million cars maritimepage.com/cargo-ship-co2-emissions/
Perhaps the people downvoting you are the same kind of people without a sense of proportion, who think that turning off an LED light bulb saves the environment.
It could also be that you don’t provide a solution. So here it goes: want to cut co2? Buy locally produced goods. If you live in the northern hemisphere strawberries aren’t in season in January, and it’s a good chance that neither are tomatoes or avocado.

It’s important to remember that the headline refers to the group Palestine action
Coming into this thread, thinking that you couldn’t legally support Palestine in the UK anymore, I feel like the headline was just a bit misleading.

- Comment on How Do I Prepare My Phone for a Protest? 2 months ago:
This. You’ve got to ask yourself, what your goal when interacting with law enforcement is. It it your goal to stand up for every right? Or do you want to get away for the interaction as easy as possible?
Let me give you an example of what I mean. I Denmark police can stop and ID you without a cause. You don’t have to provide an ID, but you have to state your name, address, and birthday. If you don’t, then you’ll be arrested. Our SSNs consists of birthday and a checksum. You’re not required to state your SSN checksum, but if you do state it, the police will have to pay you if the stop is longer than 10min.
So giving the police a little more than they’re entitled to, can get you out of the interaction a lot easier.
Of course you can stand up for your rights, and if you want to fight, then do it. But it will make your day harder.
- Comment on How Do I Prepare My Phone for a Protest? 2 months ago:
We’re so focused on electronics here, but this part can save your ass:
Bring a small new blank paper note book you can keep in a pocket with a small pen or pencil
The following is translated from the meager tactical training I’ve received: Emphasis on the pencil being small. You definitely don’t want a full size pencil in your pocket if shit hits the fan and you get tumbled.
Maybe get a waterproof notepad. But make sure that you can easily rip out pages. Use a single sheet for all the info you don’t want the police to have (like all the other burner phone numbers and such) That way you can rip that sheet out and swallow it, if you’re about to be captured.
Also, about the scarfs. I don’t know about the US, but at least in my own country, it’s illegal to use a mask at protests. Meaning a mask would get you singled out and targeted by law enforcement.
- Comment on Update on the ["crushed letters" issue](https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/36243859) 2 months ago:
From the other post I remember you said that having the letters in the top layers didn’t work for you, because that meant a lot of support material to remove.
From what I understand, your product consists of two parts. The large part with the letters and a counter part, which is just a flat piece.
So why not put the letters in the flat piece? That way you can print them either way up.
