  • Man posts his incorrect opinion online

    Jump

  • The map is wildly simplistic, as usual for these Internet takes lol.In Portugal, for example (where I come from), I don't know anyone that keeps their shoes in-doors 95% the time. If you're doing some quick work or holding an event, people might be a bit more lack about taking off your shoes, but I (and many my friends) always make an effort to take some kind of home footware when visiting other people's homes. As a general rule? Everyone puts some socks/sleepers/flipflops on.

  • Episode discussion — Gen V S0205 "The Kids Are Not All Right"

  • Yeah, I believe that's it. He's controlling Cipher which may or may not be related to him, maybe his son.

  • What do you think is the best (and cheapest) way to host a new nextcloud instance and website for my local scouts organisation?

    Jump

  • I agree it's a nice way to try it out, though it has some limitations. Also, my experience with encryption at rest has been a mixed bag, though I think that's just because Nextcloud's implementation isn't quite mature enough.

    (happy cakeday!)

  • Episode discussion — Gen V S0201 "New Year, New U"

    Jump

  • Well, we're back at it. The first episode starts with some classic The Boys scenery .-.

    So far, Chance's absence seems coherent and well executed. And my oh my, the writers are even more on the nose with the parallels to the real world...

  • Reevaluating my password management

  • Yes! Oh my, I'm silly; that was precisely my point and I managed to mess it up 🙃

    Thank you for the correction!

  • 21-Year-Old: Need Real Advice on Greys & Balding

    Jump

  • As others have also mentioned, Minoxidil can be effective at slowing or stopping balding, with daily application, though it isn't immediate (may take a couple of weeks to start showing results). It can vary a lot from person to person, so give it a shot for a couple of months before deciding whether to commit or not.

  • Should Lemmy potentially add an hourly post counter to help users avoid flooding communities?

    Jump

  • While the issue of the inter-server protocol being overly chatty is very much real, putting the burden on the users isn't a good solution.

    The focus should instead be on improving the protocol itself and its implementation with better algorithms, batching, etc. I'm not super knowledgeable about the inner workings, but I feel like there's still some relatively "low hanging fruits" in the protocol design (are activities properly batched? are they sent as linear broadcasts to all federated instances? could we use some alternative broadcast distribution, like binomial? etc) and implementation (is the data model leading to some expensive operations? are the SQL queries well written? could we speed them up some other way?).

    I say this as someone who's been running an instance for many years now, and can tell you for sure it has been a rather bumpy ride, as a small server. Running a good and fast server with lots connections is not cheap; not as much as it should, at least imo.

  • Ah, that's a nice one!

  • We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent

    Jump

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key

    It's a key that makes the next 2 or more keystrokes be dead key inserts that combineinto some character otherwise impossible to type.

    In my case, my keyboard had a ≣ Menu key which I never used, so I remapped it to Compose.

  • We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent

    Jump

  • You're correct, but that's like saying along the lines of manufacturing a car is just bolting and soldering a bunch of stuff. It's technically true to some degree, but it's very disingenuous to make such a statement without being ironic. If you're making these claims, you're either incompetent or acting in bad faith.

    I think there is a lot wrong with LLMs and how the public at large uses them, and even more so with how companies are developing and promoting them. But to spread misinformation and polute an already overcrowded space with junk is irresponsible at best.

  • We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent

    Jump

  • I've been getting into the habit of also using em/en dashes on the computer through the Compose key. Very convenient for typing arrows, inequality and other math signs, etc. I don't use it for ellipsis because they're not visually clearer nor shorter to type.

  • Good point regarding ecommerce shops, was not aware they were sold there!

  • Reevaluating my password management

    Jump

  • This. And to add to what other commenters have said, by using Bitwarden and paying for their Premium plan (very cheap, just $10/year), even if you don't use all their features, you're supporting a good project. It's critical infrastructure, I think the price is more than fair.Either way, you should always make periodic backups from any cloud service you use, encrypted of course.

  • This would be really neat, however it's not trivial to sell those everywhere. If you're lucky to live in a country or even city where they can get those to, you're golden. If you don't, you're screwed.

    Unfortunately, as much as I love the idea and tech behind Monero, actually accepting it is not practical at all, as the coin is used a lot for criminal stuff and is thus very strictly followed by many agencies. We don't know if they can break it, but even they don't, businesses can get a rough treatment just for accepting Monero. It's perfectly understandable if they'd rather not do it.

  • Tips for getting better at Linux.

    Jump

  • Very useful, even for someone who has been using Linux for many years. Sometimes you just forget or need that tool you rarely use. tldr can be much handier than parsing a man page when you're in a pinch.

    I use the tealdeer implementation, but any is fine really.

  • Is there any way to un-freeze my device when it freezes, without shutting down and losing my work?

  • Never knew about prelockd, seems like a pretty neat and useful idea, thanks!

  • Wait what? Was there ever an option to open a private tab as a normal tab?? 🤔 I'd love to have that, but thought it would never get added. What version were you on before (and in which one are you now)?
