All I can see is a sound icon that does nothing until I open in the browser, then it works.
- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 3 hours ago:
It is unreasonable to expect users to understand.
Or read, be it app popups or error messages. Or learn how to use tools that have been in place for years. Or take basic responsibility for their inability or unwillingness to learn and understand.
At some point, saying “it’s unreasonable to expect the user to understand something” is itself unreasonable. Maybe it’s because I’ve been in IT for like 20 years, but I have minimal sympathy for people who choose not to understand the basic utilities that they have to interact with for their jobs that have been in place for a long time. At the very least, you should know how file management works if you’re making files as part of your job, and that you don’t just delete files from your system…

Our work does basically all of that…and I hate it
Respectfully, no they fucking didn’t. Having to be on the VPN and deleting shit after 2 years are BAD configs and falls under beating them with hammers as noted in the previous comment.
- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 3 hours ago:
It is unreasonable to assume you can delete a file from a sync app’s clod dashboard and not expect that the deletion would be synced to the device.
I get that OneDrive is a mediocre product that gets forced on end users, but so many people turn their brains off and just try to kill it with fire instead of thinking through their actions before making rash decisions.
- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 3 hours ago:
Because they don’t know how to use it properly, or intentionally use it wrong and complain when they lose data.
I’m not going to defend one drive in the slightest, because it irritates the shit out of me. But reading through this thread is giving me flashbacks to end user support and listening to old people not understanding why they’re causing their own problems. Like the number of times I’ve seen ‘it appeared in one drive and I didn’t like it so I deleted it and now my data is gone, what the hell’ both in this thread and irl is nuts…

If you self host, go Joplin. I was unimpressed with obsidian’s ability to use the same notebook in multiple systems easily, and Joplin lest me easily sync my notebook between systems using a docker container I host as the sync server.

- Comment on Looking for assistance on ubiquiti Cloud Gateway Ultra 1 day ago:
It sounds like your ubiquity and your ISP router are on the same LAN segment, which is not a good config.
You should never have multiple DHCP servers configured unless you’re intentionally split braining your vlan (only ever done that for HA purposes and using half of the pool on each). Im pretty sure you need to have your ISP connected to your cloud gateway, and all of your gear connected to the ubiquity. Your ISP router should only see your ubiquity, and that’s likely a good part of the reason you can’t see all the DHCP leases on your ubiquity gear.
Were I in your position, is probably disconnect everything and slowly reconnect stuff one piece at a time until you trip over what’s causing your issue. I doubt this is the case, but you could also have another DHCP server running on something you forgot about causing issues. Seen that many times before when doing small business network overhauls.

- Comment on MFW I wake up to find Lemmy feeds full of USA stuff 1 day ago:
He literally announced that he’d rigged an election and nobody did anything about it.
That’s not true, tons of voters heard that and stayed home to make sure he’d win and be the first republican in decades to win the popular vote.
- Comment on MFW I wake up to find Lemmy feeds full of USA stuff 1 day ago:
I believe not reading news is what got us here. Too many have given up and don’t take a stance, which allows the situation to just get worse and worse.
Both people not reading good news sources and people reading bad news sources is what got us here. It lead to tons of people voting for a conman who lied to their face after his toadies told his base them exactly what he’d do, and tons of people staying home when it mattered.
I know voting is one of the least effective ways of making change, but people have to realize that not voting is a great way to allow negative change to take hold.

You don’t need to explain your fetishes to the barista. Also, they really prefer you add your own ‘cream’ to your coffee at home.

You know people were saying this was going to happen eventually back in 2018 when that happened, right?
We have seen how much MicroSlop has stopped caring about their products over the last few years, so this shouldn’t be that surprising.

One could make that argument, but not in this case. Documenting an API has nothing to do with the open source status of the product.
- Comment on ‘Just an unbelievable amount of pollution’: how big a threat is AI to the climate? 4 days ago:
What do you think will replace fossil fuels as our baseload source? Because (to my understanding) renewables don’t have the output and stability required to fill that void.
Watt for watt, nuclear is one of the safest methods of generation and generates tons of energy with minimal waste (which already has methods of storage and reprocessing).
random, barely related thought
It always amuses me to point out that fossil fuel plants like coal are more radioactive than nuclear power plants. Because nuclear plants have strict regulations they have to follow, but coal plants concentrate radioactive materials into the ash as part of their normal operation, which can make it to the outside.

- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 6 days ago:
Where do you see that it isn’t true? Clicking through to the MicroSlop site, it looks like it confirms this as true:
The Microsoft 365 Copilot app (formerly Office) lets you create, share, and collaborate all in one place with your favorite apps now including Copilot.*
Is this just a wording fail and the app is changing, not the product line?
If so, still not even the most confusing rebrand in recent memory.

Been running Bazzite for a year with minimal gaming issues. Only reason to run windows for games IMO is if you have to have a rootkit running to play, guessing that’s why you’re still using it?

I tried this for a bit last year, and I never got it to work. I’m sure it was user error, but I’m super glad I got a new kit before shit blew up.
Might have to track down the bad kit I had and give this another try for giggles.

I mean, I have that in my account. But I’m also paranoid about bounced checks and don’t see the appeal of getting a nickel a month in exchange for worrying about something suddenly eating my float and causing bounced checks.
