nottheengineer, to memes in Guten Tag Everybody

ich_iel is the worst place to learn german, the running gag is to translate stuff from english literally while actively ignoring the context.

nottheengineer, to linuxmemes in Useless messenger

Isn’t the web version a full client that works without a phone nearby nowadays?

nottheengineer, to memes in ...Then you select it, and the Captcha fails.

I still don’t know whether you’re supposed to hit those and I also don’t know if it’s normal to get two challenges or if that just means I did the first one wrong.

nottheengineer, to linuxmemes in ***buntu

Mint gets rid of snaps, distros that don’t are just bad imo.

nottheengineer, to asklemmy in Do food delivery persons prefer cash tip?

Over here in germany, tipping is synonymous with cash and using the tip feature of apps is frowned upon because it adds an unnecessary middleman.

Not sure how transferrable that is to other countries, us germans really like cash.

nottheengineer, to piracy in Advice on blocking Youtube ads.

I use SmartTube on my android TV and it’s great. If you can find an android TV box that doesn’t come with malware preinstalled or get android running on the pi, I highly recommend it.

nottheengineer, to linux in how can I customise my Ubuntu theme without breaking anything??

Use something other than gnome and, while you’re at it, you might as well use something other than ubuntu.

KDE is very hard to break, you can go wild with customization there.

nottheengineer, to linux in New nvidia driver makes my 240hz monitor have no input

Nvidia driver updates break things all the time. Just rollback and wait a few weeks before you try updating again.

Try Smarttube, it’s a joy to use.

nottheengineer, to asklemmy in I want to study psychology but won't AI make it redundant in a couple of years?

It’s just like with programming: The people who are scared of AI taking their jobs are usually bad at them.

AI is incredibly good at regurgitating information and translation, but not at understanding. Programming can be viewed as translation, so they are good at it. LLMs on their own won’t become much better in terms of understanding, we’re at a point where they are already trained on all the good data from the internet. Now we’re starting to let AIs collect data directly from the world (chatGPT being public is just a play to collect more data), but that’s much slower.

nottheengineer, to linux in Any experience with teaching kids Linux?

KDEs wobbly windows will convert almost any child to linux.

nottheengineer, to memes in The trickster letters

Just use monospace fonts for everything. As a bonus you can feel like a haxxor

nottheengineer, to asklemmy in What news source or sources are you go tos

I just use hacker news for tech stuff. If an article on there is BS, you can be sure that someone will call that out in the comments after about 5 minutes. And if not, there’s almost always a good discussion with very few insults.

nottheengineer, to linux in My few remaining gripes with linux

That part is stupid indeed. If you run X, do xinput and find your trackpad. Then do xinput list-props on that to see all the settings there are. Xinput can also change them with xinput set-prop and they reset after a reboot, so feel free to fiddle around.

Once you’re done, just slap your settings into a script and run that on startup, then you’re set.

nottheengineer, to memes in At least uBlock Origin is always up-to-date now

An app that lets you watch stuff from youtube, twitch, patreon, odyssey and more while respecting your privacy and having a better UI than any other streaming app.
