cobra89, to linux in KDE's Nate Graham On X11 Being A Bad Platform & The Wayland Future

Uh reading the article, pretty sure the author would phrase it as “Nvidia GPUs don’t support Wayland yet” and that author would be absolutely right.

cobra89, to news in Russia bans anti-war candidate from challenging Putin

Putin is desperate to restore Russia to its former USSR glory. That’s why he wants Ukraine so badly.

Great Scott!

cobra89, (edited ) to linux in Request for help, I broke some graphics

Every time you’re excluding something you’re excluding updating a package, while updating all the others. Then if the new packages depend on the newer version of the package you didn’t upgrade by excluding it, things break. That’s what’s happened here. Every time you use exclude to upgrade something you’re essentially breaking your system worse. That’s what the other person means by “partial upgrading”

And now that message says it’s going to completely remove your desktop environment so you’re gonna have no desktop, just a cli shell.

At this point the easiest thing would probably be to back up your home directory and whatever else you want to keep and just reinstall the system. Any other process to try and fix it is going to require more trouble and time than it would take to just reinstall unfortunately. There may not even be a way to successfully unbreak your system.

cobra89, to news in Anti-China Rhetoric Is Off the Charts in Western Media

I think this is probably true of many ex-British colonies since class is such a dominant and suffocating aspect of British culture.

Laughs in India

cobra89, to piracy in I just realized /c/piracy is the most subscribed community in the lemmyverse!

I can see the headlines from shitty tech news websites now: “What is lemmy? A platform mostly where crooks go to find content to illegally download.”

Or something equally ridiculous.

cobra89, to food in Nonalcoholic Beer Is Booming. Here Are the Ones to Try.

From the article:

Most breweries use one of just a few basic options for production, each of which comes with its own set of considerations. There’s dealcoholization through evaporation, aka vacuum distillation, in which beer is heated and distilled to remove the ethanol. Dealcoholization via reverse osmosis, meanwhile, uses membranes to separate the alcohol from the rest of the liquid. The former method can strip some desirable flavor compounds, and both options are a financial stretch for smaller craft breweries.

Emphasis on the last line. So yeah it does add some significant cost. Which is why they resort to cold-contact brewing which can result in worty/bready taste as the article notes. So if you want good NA beer yeah, it’s more expensive probably because they’re using all the same ingredients and then doing the extra process. Obviously there won’t be the alcohol tax though.

cobra89, to memes in At least you didn’t post it

I just do the opposite and start wronging a comment.

cobra89, to memes in The most secure OS named windows

The only caveat I’ll add is that because of the way package managers work in Linux, it’s much less likely someone will be running something from an untrusted source. It’s less true these days with snap and flatpak but those are at least sandboxed.

It’s not that common these days for Linux users to be downloading random binaries and running them.

cobra89, to privacy in How marketing companies use "Active listening" voice data to target advertising to the EXACT people businesses are looking for

Lol you are the only person with a brain in this thread. This entire service they’re advertising sounds like a scam.

People really think these apps are bypassing the Android OS protections that show the microphone icon when the mic is listening?

And what apps are widespread enough that it can capture a wide enough range of people to target the things their customers would want while also not getting discovered or someone working for the app disclosing it?

None of this passes the sniff test.

cobra89, to memes in Open your eyes! they are spraying our skies!
cobra89, (edited ) to piracy in Sony is going to remove certain purchased titles from user libraries

Did anyone actually read the link? Everyone in the thread is talking like they pulled video games. They literally only pulled Disney TV content from like 20 years ago. Now of course that’s still crappy but stuff like this has happened for TV content before and it won’t be the last time this happens.

We can freak out when they actually do this to video games and not some 20 year old awful reality TV content no one watched anyway.

cobra89, to science_memes in (seafood) soup-like homogenate

Everyone’s all like “eat the rich” until they get to the “how?”. Finally a solution!
