I’m glad they did this because it finally gave me the push to move all my stuff to Codeberg.
- Comment on Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support 4 days ago:
by your claim, the field can have any series of numbers, that there is no way to determine if it is accurate, and the law that this was done to appease is bad, as in not able to obtain its expected result. and so the data is useless.
Yeah, so this tells me you have no clue what you’re actually talking about.
You don’t even stop to think for a second that maybe some enterprise setting requires such fields. Maybe they have software that populates account information based on their HR systems’ data, auto-creating user accounts? Maybe they can find a DoB field useful? Zero clue, zero thought, just “I don’t use it, therefore it’s useless”.
No point in continuing this discussion, I guess.
- Comment on Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support 4 days ago:
Again: what authority do you have to decide which data fields are useful, and which aren’t?
How do you personally differentiate between “useful” and “useless”? Is it: “I have no need for it therefore it needs to be removed”, by any chance?
- Comment on Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support 4 days ago:
Why hasn’t the discussion started when
realNamewas introduced?Someone may find these data points useful, for whatever reason. No point in being angry at a date field, mate.
- Comment on Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support 4 days ago:
because it’s too late at that point, which is the whole point and issue!
A PR is when the discussion is supposed to happen. It’s an open source project, nothing happens “too late” to discuss. You see that change in the pull request, you can start moaning about it.
if the field is necessary, but the data is useless, then it shouldn’t be there
Who defines what’s “useless”? You? On what authority?
- Comment on Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support 4 days ago:
So, how about we start freaking out when someone starts making these fields required, instead of right away?
- Comment on Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support 5 days ago:
However, once this field exists, it enables later reference and/or mandatory dependencies
Yeah, this is a devious plan that has been going on for years, when they added the
realNamefield! - Comment on Firefox 149 adds built-in free VPN with 50GB monthly data 1 week ago:
You could try connecting an external keyboard/mouse to your main computer.
As for the backup one - how much space do you have left? You’d need between 4 and 6 GB to download a Linux ISO and around 2 MB for Rufus with which you’d build a bootable “live USB”.
If you don’t have even that much, grab WinDirStat to check what exactly is taking up so much space - maybe you can remove some of it.

Weird. I was just setting up three Linux laptops and was asked if I wanted to turn these features on every time.

Holy shit, people really lose any rationality when it comes to AI, don’t they?
Mozilla mentioned integrating AI, got flak for it, reversed gears. Everything is optional and opt-in now.
And yet, a third of comments here are crying about Big Bad Firefox AI coming to eat them at night.

People, especially those who run games on monitors with hi resolution, sleep on the fact that you can easily turn AA off to get a massive boost in performance for virtually no degradation of graphics.

What in the world are you talking about…? I was using my GTX 970 for five years before I got a used RTX 2060, which I sold to my brother after two years. I’m nor running an RX 9070 XT and it looks like it’ll do its job for at least 5 years.

Sure they were! Nothing happening over there had anything to do with the women that were kidnapped, raped, and/or killed in the custody of the Guidance Patrol! Everybody celebrated these as beautiful moments of religious expression!

Yup.

Yeah, clearly the ones still in Iran absolutely loved him. To the point where they recently went out to the streets to show their support, right?

LOL, good one :D

The ideal scenario, now that the greybeard kicked the bucket, is for Iran to fire a ballistic missile straight at Netanyahu’s arse, Krasnov suffering a heart attack, and Vlad just watching his entire country crumble to bits as his economy dies, and his military collapses from lack of manpower.
Not sure about Xi. Maybe a fishing boat accident.

i think israel should also exist, its absolutely stupid to propose it be removed cause then you have the problem of a bunch of jews having nowhere to go again
And, more importantly, you lose the moral ground on which you get to protest the Palestinian genocide when you’re advocating for Israeli genocide.
(“you” here is “a person”, not you, @AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip)
On the other hand they should be sanctioned and stopped from commiting constant warcrimes and palestinians live their lives in their rightful territory
Absolutely agree. UN forces should secure the borders (as they were originally defined) and consider any settler a terrorist.
The russia situation is a bit different. Theres no real reason for its existance. Its a bunch of russians opressing minorities, they should have their own country if were following the ethnostate idea. At very least european and asian russia should be seperate countries. But yeah thats never happening.
Yup. I kind of hope that their economy crashing will allow the eastern provinces to reach independence, but at the same time I realise that it would be suicide for them. Like, even if they somehow managed to get the money and food to supply and govern themselves, there’s no reality in which China doesn’t immediately swoop in and grab half of Siberia.

Seems like Workrave is also available on Linux. Did you not know that or did you recommend RSIBreak for Linux because you think it’s better?
- Comment on Current events dictate that I post this. 4 weeks ago:
This is somehow controversial, but I firmly believe that all of them, Ukraine, Palestine, Israel, Iran, everyone else, deserves an independent nation free of totalitarian dictators or religious fundamentalists.

Just FYI - “bowls” are the things you puke into, “bowels” are the things food never reached and therefore became puke.

I’m old enough to not have to rely on mass media to know how my reality looked like during the russian occupation, mate.
Also: you pinpointed shit, but don’t let me stop you from patting yourself on the back. :)

You need to educate yourself.
MAGA loves licking the russian boot.
Nobody who suffered under USSR would ever say “times were hard but better”.
