For me it was Backtrack Linux on a bootable CD-RW. Set the Windows wallpaper as my background and nobody ever noticed. Man those were the days!

Some people take every word spoken literally - do not “slur yourself” in front of them. When you’re with friends and family who “get” you, drop all the f-bomblettes you want 🗣️🪵

I hate needing them. I live in an area with virtually no mass transportation, no cycling lanes, and everything is so spread out you could easily perish from dehydration just walking to the market. Previously I lived in L.A. for 20 years and never owned a car there, I biked and bussed everywhere. No matter where in L.A. you are, it only took 3 busses or less to get to a trailhead in the Angeles National Forest. Man I miss those days!

No, but someone replied to his article and suggested about 50 years. I think longer, as in better wake Harry Seldon and let’s go start Foundation like yesterday!

Slrpnk.net was my first Lemmy server! I had absolutely NO IDEA how it worked, but I was motivated by my recent departure from Facebook and Twitter.

When they went down, it kinda felt like when you go to a party with someone and it’s all their friends, and then your date vanishes into thin air, and your choices are leaving the party or making awkward convo with a rodent of unusually large size by the punchbowl…

Sounds like an issue with your Bluetooth stack, could have been a bad update. I’d try getting the latest factory image from OnePlus and flashing both slots, then test Bluetooth.

Here’s a reddit thread with some possible leads. Basically the Deception logo is commonly found along Trump and Qanon enthusiasts.

But even before all the recent political correlations, the Deception logo stood for oppression, enslavement, extreme violence and cruelty. Not exactly the most desirable qualities one would look for in law enforcement officers.

I may be a bit biased though. Both my cars have Autobot emblems 🤖

I’m a vendor who works at a local jail, and I can almost park my Japanese import under the officer’s stupidly oversized maga trucks. But that doesn’t blow my mind. You know what does? A sworn officer whose civic duty is to serve and protect the public, badging his car on all sides with giant Decepticon emblems…so yeah, before you call the popo about big bad trucks parking illegally, find out what they drive!

Did Android pause the microphone permissions for your audio apps? I had to turn that annoying feature off on my OnePlus 8 recently.

Also enable developer mode and go into developer options. Scroll down to the audio section and try a different profile or codec while you have your headset connected to your phone.

Most industrial embedded PCs I’ve serviced ran on Windows XP Pro but you’d never see it (under the machine control software that autoruns on boot) unless things had gone pear-shaped. It was kinda trippy how at the time you could find that OS running on everything from grandpa’s old Gateway 2000 all the way up to $100K+ industrial CNC machines and million-dollar medical imaging equipment.

Same happened to the relationshipsadvice and aita subreddits, the number of posts suddenly skyrocketed with incredibly long, overly-detailed stories that smacked of LLM-generated content.

Look, normally eye don’t object to ob-seen images, but it’s damaging my vision…

I’m new to Linux too and testing both X11 and Wayland at home. so far I like Wayland in theory (it’s the future!) but prefer X11 in practice (no weird graphical issues).

God here (taking temporary control of a random human as I don’t have a mobile device, or thumbs for that matter): I gave y’all free choice - and I’m not talkin’ 'bout the vote. Turn off the telly and go start a revolution! (or join an existing rebellion, if you prefer) All my love, God(s)

You’re correct! And its done such a good job that it’s allowed me to forget (unintentionally) that issue even exists!

I used newpipe for a long time, currently using a fork called pipepipe. I forgot why I switched lol

Fedora 40 based distro, some apps have rendering issues when desktop DPI to is set to 125% or 150% (but work fine at 100% or 200%). I thought it was a Gnome issue but it’s actually a Wayland issue displaying legacy X11 apps with fractional scaling.

So my workaround for now is to just find apps with native Wayland support, which isn’t too difficult as it’s growing in popularity.

Speaking of color temp, I shift my local environment’s hue with blues in the morning to assist with alertness, and reds at night for improved low-light vision. I do it manually with an IR remote I have conveniently velcro-taped to the wall next to the light switch. I am interested in your automated setup, I could see it being useful for tying the lights to the security cameras (motion is detected, triggers main lights to full brightness, play doberman_barking.mp3).
