ProgrammingSocks, to piracy in Feeling the lack of moderation now Reddit?

What a goofy interpretation of that series of events. Reddit changes API which fucks over moderators -> mods protest and say if they can’t use these tools they can’t moderate -> when API restrictions come into effect, mods either leave over moderating being way harder now or basically not being able to mod

Why is that final step so hard for this person to believe? All of Reddit moderation wasn’t lying to people for fun

ProgrammingSocks, (edited ) to linux in One of these 6 will become Plasma 6. Wallpaper Which one do you prefer?

Default? Top left. It should be visually appealing to most people, and it would honestly just be odd to have the default wallpaper be cartoon styled. And the bottom left looks too much like W11. But I think they should all be included as options.

ProgrammingSocks, (edited ) to fuck_cars in Yes, also Teslas

Incremental steps are not personal EVs. They are diesel and electric buses. EVs eliminate 1 problem (tailpipe emissions) while creating 2 more (battery manufacturing, increased vehicle weight making road and tire wear worse, and making them more deadly - there’s others, take your pick) and not addressing the other hundred problems with car dependence.

Buses use the same infrastructure as cars. Bus stops are stupid cheap in comparison to anything else. And then, bus lanes can be implemented to prioritise buses and keep them from getting stuck in traffic.

ProgrammingSocks, to fuck_cars in Europe’s politicians are dEsPeRaTe to tackle e-scooters, why aren’t they bothered by monster SUVs?

SUVs and trucks are UNIMAGINABLY worse. I’m not a fan of e-scooters, they need a little bit of training to use safely and are still dangerous compared to an ebike. I would rather have ebikes replacing e-scooters everywhere they are now.

However, they are comparatively a nuisance compared to the menace of SUVs and light trucks killing pedestrians every single day.

ProgrammingSocks, to linux in Canonical changes the license of LXD to AGPL

Apache is too permissive a license anyways. This is kind of the point of copyleft licenses — a feature, not a bug.

Hello, I’m Albertan. Stop saying this. Our governments maintain roads in between these cities every year, there is no reason they couldn’t have been train lines instead. Roads are far more expensive than many realize.

Once upon a time, all cities were connected by train, and we ripped it all up to build roads instead. Sure, it’s going to cost money to build these up again – that’s what happens when we make a mistake, we have to pay for it in one way or another. But connecting smaller towns and cities is not the herculean impossible task that people seem to want to pretend it is.

There ARE major urban areas in North America. People are not evenly spread out across the landmass equally. Connecting these first is obviously the goal, because that will take care of 70% of the problem already. And always remember not to make perfect the enemy of good - even if we stopped there we’d be in infinitely better shape than we were before.

Cars are a tax burden. Car infrastructure generates debt, not revenue.

No, I would argue that e-scooters simply exposed the existing problems in our infrastructure today. As I said in another comment I prefer ebikes to e-scooters by A LOT but people should not be forced to ride 80 fucking km/h SCOOTERS just to get where they are going. It doesn’t happen when there is accessible and affordable transit.

And in cities, pedestrians and bikes (sure scooters too) need to be separated as well. Cities have haphazardly thrown e scooter rentals out there, not thinking about the fact that there is absolutely no infrastructure to support it, and so people are claiming it’s the scooters fault for the city failing to build anything that actually supports these services, and more broadly, failing to build anything that supports alternative modes of transport.

ProgrammingSocks, to linux in how do i transfer files via usb c cable from a pixel 6a (grapheneos) to linux mint?

Plug it in, unlock it, tap the USB notification and change it to “transfer files”. I like to keep my screen on but you shouldn’t have to.

ProgrammingSocks, to linux in Cool fancy programs?
ProgrammingSocks, to linux in Looking to make the switch

Linux Mint Debian!! It’s simple, already set up, easily extensible, and is based on one of the most popular distributions. You can always find out how to do something on Debian and it won’t break on you.

ProgrammingSocks, to linux in Microsoft says a Copilot key is coming to keyboards on Windows PCs starting this month

Microsoft is a monopoly. Stallman was right, as usual in software

Ok but this isn’t reddit

ProgrammingSocks, to linux in AMD Publishes XDNA Linux Driver: Support For Ryzen AI On Linux

A+ timing, I’m upgrading from a 1050ti to a 7800XT in a couple weeks! I don’t care too much for “ai” stuff in general but hey, an extra thing to fuck around with for no extra cost is fun.

Sounds like trains with extra steps to me
