Mostly on my Lemmygrad and Hexbear accounts. But still like Lemmy.ml and the people on here. Not a liberal, conservative, or a fucking fascist! The masses need to wake up and see how much we have been and continue to be lied to by those that want us to stay dumb and hating each other!

  • GIMP rebranding as WLBR?

    Jump

  • GIMP is much more memorable for good or bad. I got over the name like 5mins after I first learned about it years ago. WLBR is so bland outside of the spelling. At least Blender kind of sounds like it blends elements to make something, and Plasma sounds like it would look nice. WLBR sounds frumpy/bland (though I would like to know what it will stand for), which is about as bad as trying too hard to sound "fresh/sexy" from a marketing standpoint. Maybe they could have gone with GRIP (GNU Raster Image Program) if the actual concern was about "offending" people while still being easy to remember? Idk, I suck at naming things.

  • I would love to have an excuse to put that on mine. If the job is tech or imaging related, then they would already be aware of it. For the others, at least it might cause a laugh or confuse them long enough to look it up (which means you might get remembered and taught them something). Just have to own it and not pre-apologize for it, power move, and don't even act like it is any different when speaking at an interview (just like any of the other stuff you have listed). That or just put "GNU Image Manipulation Program Project" and leave it at that since it sounds "professional".

    That being said, I hate how overly "professional" people try to make every little thing sound much more "impressive" than they are. But I respect that you care more than I do/would, so no hate for you likely being much more likely to land a job. lol

    One personal anecdote about wild resume with regards to a video response to questions I listened to while my boss was having to watch to make first picks for real interview. There was a woman that said her name was "Lix Dicks" (I can't remember how it was actually spelled). I was like "Wait wait wait, did the sound just glitch out??" and my boss also had the same look on her face. We replayed it a few times trying to see if it was our PC or maybe the video. But my boss went back to the text of her resume, and shit was real. The person ended up not making it due to availability listed in a different section (her other previous work and qualifications would have had her much better than most of the others). Best believe we were sad that it meant the in-person interview didn't happen. We still remember her though. Perfect qualifications AND such a wild name was such a loss for us.

  • [App] I made a Circle to Search alternative that works on any Android (with multiple search engines)

  • Installed, did notice that even though I tell my phone (Samsung 24U) to use it as default assistant app. Google still opens when holding the home "button" at the bottom of my screen. When I tell it to have the floating bubble the app itself is cool.

  • Pete Hegseth says the U.S. military will no longer require flu shots

  • Would be interesting to know percentage of them only get the Flu shot because it was required vs those that already get it even if they weren't military.

  • This AI Tool Rips Off Open Source Software Without Violating Copyright

  • Get console OSes since PlayStation BSD stuff could be useful for something, and Nintendo stuff just because they always lose their shit and show their true colours. Modern Windows source code for moving React OS forward because they deserve to hit a real release after so long. And of course all of the Creative Cloud shit to remove reasons for still paying the Adobe Tax.

  • A $1.5 million roundabout from nowhere to nowhere shows the ‘Orbánist economy’ | CNN

    Jump

  • Would be hilarious if they went in hard with it. Just start copy-pasting just a wild amount of them in grids that don't connect to any inlet or exit to/from actual roads. After a certain point, they could say it is some national art project that is about the very corruption that leads to this original one.

  • Iran says ships passing through Strait of Hormuz must pay with Bitcoin

    Jump

  • Same here. Though I would imagine the real people benefiting would be people holding Bitcoin. Especially if true, since shit would jump the price massively while in effect.

  • Trump signs order imposing 100 percent tariff on brand name drugs

    Jump

  • He points to places like the UK having lower costs. But they have actual national healthcare and are really driven to force pharma companies to cut shit. Also doesn't do anything to address the issue of our private for-profit system rewarding everything costing more.

    There were some great months for people being approved for much more after that United Healthcare fuck got got. But would have been even better if the same happened to pharma CEOs at the same time. Toss in some of the big name board members/share holders too. As they were the ones that started getting pissy about profits being lower due to insurance companies freaking out about maybe being next.

    But all these tariff things only do a speed run of continuing to attack the wrong problem (just like how both parties have always done). Companies that do end-up setting up USA manufacturing will still charge more than before the tariffs (just less in order to have people "feel" better at any small reduction). Will pull the same shit of blaming "higher cost of having to pay USA workers" and/or the good old "need to recoup costs" (both will be what they WILL most certainly use when they scale down these new USA based manufacturing after Trump is out). Would imagine it is still more profitable to pay for the Potemkin buildings and machines for appearing to comply.

  • This is Android's new 'advanced flow' for sideloading apps without verification, includes one-day waiting period

    Jump

  • Being fair, I have to help people that didn't install from third-party stores or side-loading that get hit with apps that basically keep popping full screen ads and fake infection warnings. So many bad/scamy apps are in the official Play Store. It is possible that some of the spam apps somehow hide the prompts within some of the ads to enable installing from unknown sources in order to side-load more. But Google should be putting all the effort to stop users from using apks and third-party stores into getting their own house in order.

    Not sure if the above helps (as the links are from 2024), but might be useful for the S10 if their efforts are usable. I haven't messed with custom ROMs on anything in a long time and I don't know the processes for patching mentioned in the links. The last time was not with intent to actually have a working phone and just messing with my S6 just to try installing Lineage OS on something I had no plan of caring about.

  • TIL for at last 15 years US government has been able to implant hardware into USB cables to turn them into hacking devices with wireless capability.

    Jump

  • Maybe, might also be that since tech literacy has degraded since his leak. Which means that they don't care because they are overwhelmed with the information that they don't understand. Hell, I imagine that a lot of the press that where sent the information didn't fully understand.

    The average person likely defaulted to what they always do, and just assumed that the leak meant the feds had to stop and treat it like any other historic reveal (example being stuff like COINTELPRO and believing that it was bad but isn't done anymore). Hell, a shocking amount of libs honestly thought that Biden was going to bring Medicare for All (even though he said he wasn't) just because he said "the Democratic Party is the party of healthcare" a few times.

  • Looks like he just saw an Android icon pack around the same time default icon style was shifting towards that same look. And just turned it in with a fancy story about how he "played with many shapes" (then show some quickly drawn or even some he did try) "before it just hit me" vibe. I wonder how many in-house employees might have come up with the same and just overlooked.

  • for some reason, there are twitter accounts distributing movies in cloud storage rather than torrents.

    Jump

  • They are much much more likely to use phones/tablets/maybe even Chromebooks. Torrenting is much easier with a PC. Torrent apps for the others do exist, but do require understanding how to use them (and not use them if on cell data without actual unlimited plans). They are used to just streaming things and not really care about keeping the actual files. So even being patient enough to wait for a file to download is at least a good thing I guess.

  • for some reason, there are twitter accounts distributing movies in cloud storage rather than torrents.

    Jump

  • More efficient if the file is less popular or super niche with few seeders with tiny upload speeds or no seeds (due to age of the torrent or the before mentioned). Torrents for sure are more resilient as far as being harder to just shutdown a site. It is still nice to constantly have all options possible to make getting files easy. Though I will say that torrents are more efficient the larger the file. 4k media being a very good example.

  • Reminder/invitation to contribute to OpenStreetMap

    Jump

  • I have added all the houses on my street to OSM and used StreetComplete for things. The only very frustrating thing I hate is that my house is technically in a tiny town's zone as far as utilities, but my street address is under a larger small town. I have made sure that my house and the others on my street have the mailing address town. But when I search it on Co-Maps it still shows the tiny town name. Which if I wasn't aware of this happening, I would think the address I searched isn't the same place. Does anyone know if there is a way to force OSM to use the correct address?

  • I wanted to like ME because the only thing keeping me on Waze is the user reports for traffic/cops. But they really need a better UI for it. I click report and there isn't a clear display that it went through. And when I did see that someone had reported a car on the side of the road or a crash (I can't remember which), it doesn't show a marker in the actual map. Just had a small mention alert at the top and wasn't clear where it was. Otherwise it is smooth in animation and works for navigation.
