Yeah, those lawyers should be doing QA.

A large enough userbase to support more niche topics. On Lemmy, like a lot of small communities, people tend to put the cart before the horse. They make places to share content for very niche topics but there aren't enough to warrant it. Plus sometimes you have mods in certain relatively niche groups that will remove content from their community because it is off topic, but their volume of posts is nowhere near enough for the occasional, technically off topic post to really matter. I see it in Discord servers too. Some places have more channels than users on the server. People get obsessed with categorization.

Jokes aside, I think a big aspect of it is "I don't want to hurt the goose." Like if people were in a cage match with a goose, they'd obviously take it down, but you don't wanna just hurt some animal for no reason.

Yes. Rancher desktop exists, btw. Just an fyi.

Edit: An open source alternative to Docker Desktop. It has most of the same features. Occasionally I've run into something that doesn't work, but for the most part it's just peachy.

How exactly is it using four orders of magnitude more space? Did you look what the files?

Can't copyright a name, it's trademarked though.

It's odd that it shows Brave as FOSS but not Firefox. Assuming it's not merely that nobody listed Firefox as FOSS yet and it's because Firefox's page says the "source code" is licensed under MPL but not the binary itself... Brave literally has this on the app.

My understanding was that all rights reserved meant specifically not foss. Like it's just the default copyright. But Brave lists itself as using MPL on another page. Which is ironic, because obviously Firefox uses MPL.

I feel like this is just because nobody submitted Firefox as FOSS yet.

Arch and derivatives expect you to check the news file before upgrading, but do not integrate this into the upgrade tool. I have not personally ran into a problem this way, but it's frustrating that pacman doesn't have any capability to do this if you're expected to.

Did you ever try gnome? That's what OP asked.

I think the reason a lot of men who are stuck in this mindset stay stuck in it is because the only time they actually do think they can be vulnerable is when expressing love to their partner. So it's something they crave and don't realize they can be vulnerable in other contexts. I think it's part of what leads to red pill mentality.

It's hard for men to understand how patriarchy also hurts them. It expects men to be stoic protectors. Emotional vulnerability is a sign of weakness under that worldview.

One that has stuck with me lately was "mistook sign for signified."

I don't believe arbitration agreements should be legal at all, but with how conservative US courts are right now, I doubt we'll see it overturned.

 

I was curious if this was a Jerboa issue or just the instance, but I get the same problem when I use the web version. When I try to go to the second page of posts (by clicking next or scrolling down) it seems to hang forever. Is this affecting others or just me?

 

Today I haven't been able to login through Jerboa. It worked fine in the past. I downloaded Voyager to try and it failed as well. Weirdly the browser works perfectly fine. Any idea what might be happening? Thanks, friends!

 

I noticed a repository's .gitattributes entry for *.csv used text eol=crlf so I investigated and found this.

 

It only shows Drive (for each account), Bug Reports (?) and System Traces (?). Of course, I just restarted my phone to see if it fixed it. It did, but as soon as I try a second time it's gone again.

I mention Discord but I'm pretty sure this file picker screen is not directly associated with Discord.

Update: This is affecting a friend of mine as well in the same way from the same time. Haven't determined if it's just Discord yet.

 

Sorry, this is a little embarrassing lol. But my notification bar with the clock and battery don't show in Jerboa any more. Is this some full screen option in the app I've accidentally turned on or something in Android itself I've enabled for this app?

Thanks!

 

I just never thought I'd hear GPL software get such a huge shout-out. It was literally the second thing said during the acceptance speech for Flow (best animated picture).

Also, Anora is a story involving sex workers and during two different acceptance speeches (best original screenplay and best picture) they thanks sex workers for sharing their stories with them.

Wasn't really sure where else to post this. I just thought it was pretty cool. There's always a bit of pandering in speeches (and it's not necessarily always bad), but libre software and sex workers were two things I wouldn't have guessed would get mentions. It was exciting!

 

There are times I'd like to get a measurement of a room's layout. I know there are some apps that do this, but a lot are just full of premium pay wall stuff.

I'm just trying to get the dimensions of my office (it is an odd shape) so I can okay around with potential furniture layouts.

 

I'm interested in setting up something to act as a file server. Think of it as "the cloud" but local. I've never built (or bought) something specifically for this, so it's a big foreign to me.

I think really all I would want is something that can store a lot of TB of data easily. It doesn't need to be fast. It doesn't need to be able to stream media anywhere. It really only needs to be able to act as an SFTP server, maybe run sync thing (new to that), and maybe act as a NAS. My gut feeling is something like 10+ TB might be a good amount to start. Something that won't fill up quick and that I can put big things in (like a full system image of another computer) without concern.

What would be a good way to go about this? Building a computer like normal but getting very cheap stuff? Getting something pre built or used (like surplus office stuff)? I'm just not really sure where to begin.

 

When talking about inflation there are two main types. I usually call them treasury and CPI inflation, but I don't necessarily know if those are widely used terms. By treasury inflation I refer to the total supply of money, like the inverse of federal interest rates basically. By CPI inflation I mean the change of the consumer price index over time. Both are useful, but depending on the context one may be more useful than the other.

 
 

For me it isn't working. Single player works fine. If Crossplay is ON I can see other games on the world map, but time out when joining the lobby. When I disable Crossplay I see none at all. (Yes, this is the opposite of what you might guess based on other issues people have mentioned where disabling Crossplay fixed it.)

Update: I switched to Proton 9 from the Cachy version and it works!

Powering my GPU and rails (programming.dev)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by JackbyDev@programming.dev to c/buildapc@lemmy.world
 

This will likely have some technical inaccuracies because I've never dealt with something this specific with PSUs. I have two slots for PCIe. I have a 3070 ti which has two 8 pin connectors. Each of this PSU's cords for the PCIe slots (minus that mysterious 600W one which I think is not for anything I'm doing due to the size) goes from the 12 pin on the PSU to two separate 8 pin connectors (well, 6 with the optional 2).

My gut feeling is to just plug a single cord from the PCIe slots I to the two slots on my GPU. But I'm wondering about what would happen if I plugged two cords into the PCIe slots separately and then put a single connector into the GPU from each. Would that be better/worse/the same/catastrophic?

I'm wondering if it has something to do with dividing the current among the different rails in the PSU or something? It has a little jumper to enable "overclocking" which does something like combining the rails, but I'd rather not fool with that. And it also might be totally unrelated to the other question. The jumper is, of course, just out of view of the pic, but it's also not really relevant.

Edit: I went with one and it's working fine.
