Every state or social group has its shibboleths - the American one is just to performatively pretend they don't have any.

I hate that they get to label this a "hack". It was sheer negligence - they stored these images in an unsecured bucket.

Wastes more Earth’s natural resources than any other country, contributes the most to global warming

To beee fairrrr, this isn't true when adjusting per capita (which should be mandatory when comparing these things). The other points are accurate.

China is more capitalist than any EU country.

I run Ubuntu Server on my server, but on my computer I want updates as soon as humanly possible.

[–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 week ago (11 children)

Why? I already reboot daily because everything gets updated so much. (I'm into that)

Canadians wanted it clearly by voting L again.

As opposed to what, letting Poilevre win and do far worse? We basically elected Kamala Harris rather than Trump. Is Carney great? No. Will his damage be easier to undo than Poilievre's? Hell yes.

Murican junk would never have a whole war named after it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_War

One difference is that the Taliban are arguably pro-immigration, as long as the immigrant is a muslim who does as they're told.

They are accelerationist fascists. Imagine a gym full of ISIS sleepers and you'd get the right idea.

Least right-wing Austrian:

While Baumgartner's stunts inspired millions, his political views were known to cause controversy. On social media, he mocked climate activists and others who sought to limit the effects of climate change, and voiced opposition to LGBTQ rights, according to the AFP news agency. He also once suggested Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán should receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his anti-immigration policies.

I mean, we don't have any particular reason to doubt that a young carpenter from Bethlehem named Yeshua decided one day that he was the son of god and started preaching in the streets and eventualy cobbled together a small following of various misfits. Anything beyond that of course is implausible, to say the least.

 

Sorry if this community isn't the right place to ask — I got a USB webcam that works great in Teams, but lags tremendously (3-4 seconds) in Zoom. I doubt the Zoom app is introducing that lag on its own, but how would I troubleshoot this?

This is on EndeavourOS (basically Arch)

 

Good interview with Geddy about his autobiography: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHkvpWMTuUI

 

Just picked one up. This is the best price I've seen this year. Very strange monitor but awesome for work - it even serves as a USB-C docking station with 90W power delivery.

 

Please forgive the noobish question, but what's going on with a document converter that it gets such frequent updates (and by extension forces a ton of Haskell updates)?

 

Even back in the Windows 3.1 or 95 days I didn't have to reboot this often - sometimes twice a day. Seems a bit excessive?

 

RESOLVED: it was caused by the app being flatpak. use Flatseal!

I have a network drive mounted to my computer (PopOS). I have read & write access to everything in the drive and can drag and drop files between two Nautilus windows, but if I try to drag a file from the network drive into an email for example, I get a popup about file permissions. Is it because flatpak apps don't inherit my user permissions?

I've been using Linux on and off for about 15 years, but was never able to make the leap to using it full-time until PopOS. It's been painless to use and does everything I need with only minor tweaks. Thank you System76! I can't wait until the Cosmic DE is released.

(too bad about the name, though...)

 

(apologies in advance if this isn't the right community for this question)

I've been flirting with Linux on and off for about 15 years and I think I'm ready to make the switch mostly full-time. I use a laptop for work and have a Microsoft 365 plan with email and such. I need to replace that with something Linux-friendly and would much prefer something that works with a desktop email client. Easy syncing of email, contacts and calendar to Android is a must.

Proton seems like it might be a good option but the privacy features aren't a huge selling point for me so I'm open to other options!

Chris (Foo Fighters guitarist) did a great job here. Nice interview with some gear and history insights by Alex and a breakdown of the Limelight solo.

I prefer the tracks off the previous album – more atmospheric – but this is still pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsN-v7pvUVA
