I guess it’s art now

I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

I guess it’s art now

@Undearius@lemmy.ca did a design in a previous year, and it might be fun to build on that:

This is what it looked like at the end in 2024:

Once people have an idea of what we want to do, we can add it to the CoTemplate. If we decide to relocate from our current location (as our current spot is quite small), the lemmy.nz area looks nice right now :)
The cotemplate site has a button near the top where you can copy the image link, and then paste it in the template field on Canvas (be sure to set the x and y offsets to 0). Then everyone knows exactly where to place pixels (or not 🪿)


A lot of bad ones out there, but some are worse than others. For example, I’m not going to consider a Samsung TV because of how many times they’ve done something sketchy
LG is also falling down the list with this incident
That only works for people who are higher up in their field of work, since they can pick and choose who they work for
Most people going for junior/entry level roles don’t have that luxury
A “private” instagram account or story was never actually private, but that distinction is still helpful when recommending alternatives IMO
Then you can use something like libredirect with kittygram to view any Instagram only content in a privacy respecting way, like if you open a link
This is actually a pretty interesting video, I think the clickbait title killed the post.
This community does allow you to modify the title, may I suggest something like “How space control can help a player score in a football game, with data analysis and visualizations”
Or if the sidewalk is narrow, it could get in the way of strollers and wheelchairs


I haven’t tried anything other than KDE plasma, but Niri looked interesting. CachyOS has Limine as a boot manager option, and I liked it
The distro has a lot of desktop environment options in general


CachyOS is pretty popular right now :)


The thumbnail made this look like the most confusing 3.5mm headphone splitter.
6 inputs and 1 output lol
Based on the registration applications, I think getting banned is a lot less common than people think. Most people are checking out the fediverse because of other problems on reddit, whether its the ads, bots, monetization related changes, hateful content, privacy concerns, manipulation, trump related concerns, etc
We do get the occasional “I’m here because I got banned”, but the vast majority is “I’m curious about what this place is like”.
Now isn’t hard evidence on its own, but I’d also bet that when the first category joins, they’re often looking for a place to vent about their ban. When the second category joins, they rarely announce their newness.
Certain fingerprint readers and touchscreens

It’s not the fault of Linux, it’s the hardware manufacturers. Still, you need to consider it before buying the device
I think this is a microphone with noise isolation, rather than noise cancelation from speakers.
I think the disagreement or misunderstanding comes from the premise
If we had a different world where it was impossible to lie or hide anything, then a lot of our current problems would be gone. Meanwhile a lot of new problems might come up
In this world, if you can’t enforce that everyone stays completely open and honest, then it is in everyone’s best interest to keep certain pieces of information private
We do, but it’s a lot easier to have a personal device that you can bring into lectures and labs, and then take home with you.
With some classes, it is expected that you have a personal device. There are laptops that you can borrow, but again you need to go in to borrow and return it each day and download/upload your files each time.
IMO what we need is a student society Linux user group that advocates for classes to drop bad software and confirms that a particular class is ok. This would help non-linux users too since some of the windows-macos-only software is straight up spyware.
I do not and so I shouldn’t be one to judge
Is it data that could be recovered if needed? That’s where my concern is coming from. Not being able to back it up to fix OS issues might mean that you can’t back it up at all


I like these kinds of posts :)
If anyone else finds it helpful to write out what they’ve learned, please do share it. Its a nice break from the subtle soapbox type posts
That sounds like a problem that you should deal with even if you stay on Windows 😄 Maybe I just enjoy organizing things
It’s hard to do a maple leaf at a small scale 😄
