Hi, I’m Miss Brainfart.

I’m afraid of sharks, with the exception being blåhaj. What could that possibly mean, huh.
(That’s not a hint, I genuinely have no idea)

Lemmings can also find me @miss_brainfart:catgirl.cloud on Matrix, if they desire to do so for e2ee reasons

The good part about it is being more sustainable by using the same PCs for three decades.

Imagine banks, hospitals and so on regularly replacing their machines. That would be an ungodly amount of electronics

And then comes the fun part where your body, built for pure energy efficiency and nothing else, will try to offset burned calories by subconciously moving less throughout the rest of the day

The icons don’t all speak the same language, true. Some are way more elaborate and detailed than others, which just makes them look off.

Maybe the library could be a single book instead of an entire bookshelf, for example?

miss_brainfart,
@miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml avatar

Ah, didn’t see that one at first. Even that icon is still too different from the others though, using thinner lines and no fill. Hm

Absolutely, permissions should be disabled by default, and only when the app needs to do something that requires a certain permission should it ask for it.

Maybe even do something like Android, where permissions automatically get revoked if you don’t use an app for a certain time. I love that feature.

miss_brainfart,
@miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml avatar

There is very little reason any app should keep its permissions if you never actually use it, is there?

Especially when most people use apps that phone home every last piece of data they give them access to.

miss_brainfart,
@miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml avatar

I think it’s enabled by default, but you can also just disable it for specific apps.

But if you leave it enabled and permissions get revoked after a while, you’ll get a notification telling you about it. I think that’s fair.

There’s always going to be a debate on whether something like this should be opt-in or opt-out, but for the purpose of privacy and data security, it makes sense to be on by default, I reckon.

The basic Brets are pretty good, unless I’m confusing them with another brand

A lot of distros work really well on my laptop, but Mint has always been the only one that works perfectly

High quality fats, good protein, and calorie dense.

The perfect little snack. Right after co… So anyway, how’s the weather?

I somehow managed to avoid excel my entire life, and I’ll be so lost whenever using it is actually going to be required of me

miss_brainfart,
@miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s incredibly frustrating when someone at work can’t navigate an excel file or a spreadsheet.

Oh, I know the feeling, be it in other areas.

Maybe if we tell them uBlock Origin is a condom for their browser, they’ll understand?

What a sentence to type out

It’s always difficult with digital matters, since there isn’t anything tangible and concrete to show.

Like, there’s no shady person following them with a notebook and reporting back to their boss all day, but that is kinda what’s happening, just invisible to the user.

My pihole is pretty good at showing family how many connections their apps make are completely unnecessary to their actual functions. That’s a good illustration to start with.

I like Thunar, but it doesn’t display the thumbnails I specifically embedded into my video files. Is that even possible?

miss_brainfart,
@miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml avatar

I set those limits, I made sure all the plugins to do with thumbnailing are there, and so on. I’m genuinely not sure anymore if it even can work like I want it to.

Whatever I do, Thunar shows an arbitrary frame of the video as its thumbnail, not the embedded one.

miss_brainfart,
@miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml avatar

Thunar shows the 33.33% duration frame of any video that it can process

Yeah, that seems to check out. If I research it, I’m not really finding any conclusive evidence that Thunar can actually show embedded thumbnails, so idk

I compiled Firefox from source on my laptop for shits and giggles one time. Poor i3-5005U took a good 24 hours to do it

Sometimes that folder isn’t even hidden, either

Meta Confirm Charging EU Users For Ad-Free Access to FB and Insta (alternativeto.net)

Meta has officially confirmed its decision to introduce a subscription plan for ad-free access to Instagram and Facebook for users in the European Union, EEA, and Switzerland. This move comes a few weeks after Meta first considered the idea, amidst regulatory pressure from the EU regarding the company’s ad targeting and data...

They never specified this subscription removing anything but ads, soooo

yeah, absolutely

Now that’s the truth if I’ve ever seen it. I’m right at the old edge of Gen Z, and some people just three to five years younger than me have trouble finding that file they downloaded.

Now, I’m not judging for that. If you don’t grow up using a PC, how would you know the ins and outs?

But what really gets me if someone needs to use a PC for Uni or work, and still doesn’t make any effort to learn after a year or two of using one.

That’s just inexcusable, no matter the age.

Latency plays a big part too, that’s true. I mentioned that in another comment.

Though how bad a higher latency feels is also tied to how fast you move your mouse. Slowly panning across the map of your city builder makes latency less of an issue than wanting to hit flickshots in Counterstrike.

Latency and framerate go hand in hand, though depending on the game, one might be more important to you than the other.

Which is where frame interpolation gets funny.
