lemann,

Pretty much this.

They behave like standard HID devices unless they’re scripted to emulate something else, like say a network interface… not really a feasible thing to fullt mitigate, and probably not worth worrying about IMO unless you’re a bank or something

lemann,

The SaaS or the Flathub one, or both?

Just checked the Flathub one and its accompanying repo, and could not find any mention of tracking or proprietary components…

Compared to Plexamp or Spotify on Flathub, where there is a prominent warning box notifying you about it being proprietary

lemann,

Ughh trypophobia 😭

lemann,

Doomscrolling does not literally mean your feed is full of negative content lol, it’s just mindless scrolling

lemann,

Nooooo 😭😂😂

lemann,

Not op, but nothing significant IMO unless you’re a web developer (in which case it’s worth considering using the dev edition instead) or just want the latest features.

The ESR on Debian gets updated reasonably frequently with backported security patches and bug fixes

lemann,

I wonder how its packaged too, is winget firing off an MSI in the background with a silent flag?

lemann,

That’s surprising. Dell should have good Linux driver support, seeing as they offer Ubuntu pre-installed in some markets.

Saying that, we have work issued Dell Precision mobile workstations and there are constantly hardware and driver issues under Windows, where you’d expect things to work just fine…

  • the internal microphone not working (handy for meetings!)
  • the 3.5mm combo jack not working (ah, great, no backup for when the internal microphone stops working)
  • the battery handshake failing, causing the machine to not charge, stay stuck in a low performance mode, and constantly pop up Windows notifications saying the battery is not genuine
  • the presence sensor locking the laptop while you’re literally working it

Now I use a USB headset, disabled the presence sensor, and reboot the laptop repeatedly until the battery is detected as genuine

lemann,

Pretty much my experience when using piped on my desktop, quick to resolve so not too much of an issue.

On the other side of things, my partner got tired of that and now uses FreeTube (which falls back to Invidious on failure IIRC)

lemann,

Before finding out about Backblaze I still did file backups to disc lol. Now the only time I touch a disc is when it’s being ripped 😂

lemann,

Nokia 6300. Loved that thing, battery lasted all day and then some!

lemann,

TIL

lemann,

AppArmor and SELinux sandboxing stuff pushed me to only install services with Docker on my headless machines 😣 found out most services can’t write to their own homefolder

lemann,

I don’t think debian even has support for snaps built in, unless I’m mistaken? Most ubuntu derivatives also rip them out lol

lemann,

IMO this is pretty shortsighted and going to affect all the wrong people, skimasks and balaclavas are a thing!

lemann,

Damn, who took a dump in your coffee this morning?

lemann,

I see a fair few comments about this quite frequently, and I completely agree - there’s a lot of video content that is better off as a written piece. Not everyone wants to sit through 10-15 mins of video that they could have skimmed or read in 2

lemann,

And don’t call piracy stealing.

The companies should make it nice and easy for us to watch everything in one place, in high quality, from any device, for nice and cheap! …oh, that was Netflix a decade ago ☹️

Pretty difficult to convince the likes of minds on Lemmy to pay $100 for every streaming service in the world - to get a pretty awful experience, when you can get a much, much better experience without giving up your hard earned $$

I will fly my flag high for the free seas 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🚢

lemann,

Vegetarian ≠ Vegan (unless you actually mean vegetarian?)

lemann,

Florida man must have had a ton before encountering that racoon

lemann,

Literally rent free lol

lemann,

Just don’t buy them off Amazon, Walmart, Newegg etc… buy straight from the manufacturer. There’s a lot of counterfeits about

lemann,

The sense of entitlement in some of the replies on that post are absolutely awful

As for me personally, I want to love Wayland. It has great performance on ALL my devices, (except one with a nvidia GPU) and is super smooth compared to X11!

However… the secure aspect of Wayland makes it very difficult, if not impossible to easily get a remote desktop going. Wayvnc doesn’t support the most popular desktop environments depending on how Wayland was compiled, and the built-in desktop sharing on distros that have switched over to Wayland often require very specific Linux-only VNC and RDP clients, otherwise you run into odd errors.

I really hope the desktop sharing situation improves because it’s a pretty big showstopper for me. On X11 you just install & run x11vnc from a remote SSH session and you have immediate session access with VNC from Linux, Android, and Windows. If you want lockscreen access too then you run as root and provide the greeter’s Xauth credentials. But Wayland’s not so simple sadly AFAICT…

Waypipe is something I’ve found out about recently though, so need to check that out and see how well it works at the moment. If anyone has any helpful info or pointers please share, I’m completely new to Wayland and would appreciate it!

lemann,

Neat, thanks for the info!

I did some further reading into this and found out the PWM pins I’m using are controlled by their own separate timer (instead of the one used by the Arduino core for millis(), micros() etc) so definitely will be trying this out the next time I rip the cooler open 😁
