jlow, to privacyguides in UK proposes selfie-based, AI age verification system for porn sites

I’d actually have less qualms with that then sending a porn site my face. It’s amazing that they think this will go down well.

jlow, to privacyguides in UK proposes selfie-based, AI age verification system for porn sites

To quote the Simpsons: “0% is a percentage as well!” And that will be more than enough for politicians who know nothing about the topic and are blinded by the hot tech-buzzword of the minute (especially if it turns out they or some of their friends can make a shitload of money with it. I love capitalism and democracy.)

jlow, to archaeology in 3,500-year-old axes potentially used for 'cult practice' discovered in Polish forest

Ahh, good old “Potential Ritual Use” ^__^

jlow, to linux in Windows 11 scores dead last in gaming performance tests against 3 Linux gaming distros

Your ublue-link got messed up, did you mean universal-blue.org ?

jlow, to linux in What's with all these hip filesystems and how are they different?

I wasn’t cool enough to figure out how to “just boot into a snapshot” when I tried btrfs a while ago. I mean I did figure it out (maybe?) but somehow the read/write rights where messed up and the snapshot couldn’t actually boot/I wasn’t able to log in +___+ Just reinstalled the system eith good old ext4. It sounds really cool, though …

jlow, to privacy in Kuketz Custom ROM Review: /e/

Mh, that sounds less bad that I thought it would be judging from the headline.

It’s basically Lineage with MicroG and a bunch of preinstalled apps (like one of the many Linux distros based on Ubuntu ^__^).

I think I’d still go for Lineage and install MicroG myself if I have the option, though.

And that name … it’s just so bad …

jlow, to linux in What's your experience with bluetooth audio?

Now that I know what to do (switch audio codecs on sound icon in menu bar depending on being in a call or listening to music) it works better for me on Linux Feroda than on Windoge.

jlow, to linux in Other dual panel file managers similar to Krusader?

It does get a bit of getting used to (esp having only one sidebar) but I’m quite happy with Dolphin in dual panel mode.

jlow, to linux in This week in KDE: changing the wallpaper from within System Settings

Not sure if renaming “Extrakt here, autodetect subfolder” to “Extraxt here” is a smart move …

Sure, you’d find out that it does detect subfolders now even though it doesn’t say it but if I had not read this I would probably have assumed the removee the subfolder detection

jlow, to linux in What dock do you use in Wayland?

Ah, ok. Thanks for the clarification ^__^

jlow, to linux in What dock do you use in Wayland?

Does xrandr work on Wayland? I thought it was an X11 tool. That would be so cool, I use it to change the brightness on my laptop’s monitor when KDE’s gui thing stops working (after sleep, I think). I think I looked for a replacement for Wayland but did not find anything a while back

jlow, to linux in But Windows 11 is so good!!11!1!

I was wondering if you can do BIOS updates through wine (because obviously they only are supplied as .exes) but it doesn’t sound like something I’d like to try …

jlow, to linux in Based KDE 🗿

Needs more system settings, there’s only three.

jlow, to privacy in NixOS

One of my admin friends said it’s not really made with desktop users in mind but more for people who need to set up (lots of) computers / servers quite often (= admins). If you’re not planning on distro hopping or reinstalling your system all the time it doesn’t really do anything for you that any other distro plus a good backup strategy already does. Plus you can use the Nix package manager without installing NixOS on the distro you’re on right now, if you wanna check it out.

How do people here feel about this evaluation?
