Been using localsend for maybe 2 years now.

Super simple and absolutely wonderful program. Something that any OS on any device should have just came as a free and simple implementation from the get go, but instead they make it as hard as can be without passing your data through their grubby little fingers first.

LocalSend is the best way to move and backup your files without the cloud or a data cable.

Here's Microsoft's overview page of bitlocker. Show me where it clearly says they can decrypt your drive.

If you can't possess the keys, you can't give them when there's a warrant. Microsoft designed a system that could obtain and decrypt those keys on purpose.

Yeah, but there's usually like 6 ice goons in riot gear with a lot of firepower. You hopefully kill a couple before getting shot to death yourself, and Trump doesn't give a shit if a few of his goons die. Citizens need to take up arms and force ice out. Not hope a few get into shootouts at an occasional home here or there.

I edited my comment. Yes. It totally helps.

I bought a game on steam once that I already had on epic for free. It was on sale for like $5 on steam(Hunter: Call of the Wild), and I was curious if all the shader pre-caching and optimizations steam does with the Steam Deck would have it run better with the steam version, compared to the epic games version.

Edit: my bad you guys. YES. It does run better. The pre caching steam games have is noticably gets rid of stutter. Mildly noticeable in a slower paced game like Hunter. Very noticeable in Borderlands 3 that's higher paced.

They started making shit TV's (for their price) is why. They kept charging premium prices, but their quality of buying a TV that wouldn't break like all the others dropped off a cliff.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 days ago

Yes, but about 5 years or so ago sony started cheaping out on quality. You used to pay more for a Sony but the TV was better and more reliable than other brands. As of late, they still charged more, but they were just as likely to break or have problems than any other cheaper TV.

So was mine. Lol. I'm just old enough that I got around and saw books from other places.

Same book, but still color separated with business in yellow and residential in white.

You can browse digg and reddit without an account.

I agree with some quality over quantity, but we really need a bigger base than 50k to get more people on. With only 50k there's pretty much no user base for any instances\topics that aren't very popular.

For instance, there's no user base for an instance about yo-yo's here. But reddit is so big that \throwers has a subscriber count as large as the entire user base of Lemmy. We don't need 50,000,000 people here, but having a couple million would make a world of difference.

Reddit was nothing but an unused digg clone untill digg screwed themselves so everyone just moved over.

 

Twas the night before Christmas

and all through the house

everyone felt shitty

even the mouse.

With mom at the whore house

and dad smokin grass

I settled down

for a nice piece of ass

when out on the lawn

arose such a clatter

I sprang from my piece

to see what was the matter

and out on the lawn

I seen some big dick

and I knew in a moment

it must be St.Nick

he flew down my chimney like a bat out of hell

and i knew in a moment

the fucker had fell

He filled all our stocking with pretzels and beer

and a big rubber dick

for my brother, the queer.

then he rose up the chimney with a thunderous fart

the son of a bitch blew my chimney apart

cussing and cursing as he rode out of sight.

pissing on all

having one hell of a night.

I made a few lyric changes from when I learned this one in grade school, circa 1994ish. The great ones will last the generations. Merry Christmas!

 

Haven't seen any info over Lemmy about it, so I thought I'd make a post to answer any questions for those interested. I was worried about how well it would work on t mobile in the US, since the phone is missing a band T-Mobile relies on. So far I haven't had any issues though. The cities I usually travel around have had plenty of coverage for data without it and near as I can tell the wifi calling and texting has also been great. I came from a samsung note 20 ultra on t mobile, and switching was as simple as putting my sim card in the RM 11 pro and powering it on.

 
 

I have the one default user "deck" in desktop mode. It looks like it's set to a standard account type.

I can't add a user or change this without a pop up asking "Authentication is required to change user data" and wanting "authenticating as root" password.

Leaving it blank fails. Putting in my sudo password that I have set and at this point double checked multiple times from within Konsole fails as well. I'll go in Konsole and type "passwd" then I'll type the current password and it will say "changing password for deck" and the change works fine. I'll close Konsole, but still have the same issue outside of konsole. Entering a password fails when trying to modify user or update anything.

I can't update anything on desktop now, and I can't figure out what the heck the issue with it is.

Does anyone have a clue? Thanks

Edit\update: Tried a million things. Couldn't get back root access. Made a steam OS boot image on a micro SD card and used it in the steam deck to re-install steam OS but keep my downloads\user files etc. This worked and got back "deck" as admin account as it should be. All better.

 
 

But no pun in ten did.

Just curious if anyone else has had issues with their track pads on the OLED models.

My left side touch pad doesn't "depress" down at all in the middle, and requires much more force around the sides to depress down and "click". If you go by the haptic pressure measurement, the right side will click at around 3,000 anywhere on the pad,, but the left side takes about 10,000 around the edges and never does in the middle.
