Perhaps this could be used to jailbreak the PS5 🤔

Yeah I have an xperia 5 iii. It’s not compact, it’s just narrow (seriously hate the ultra wide phone displays). Also heavy as a brick.

Thanks. I had a blast reading my old comments :p

Until meta starts to slowly block small instances and we end up with the next email. Technically federated, but controlled by a few large corporations that dictates the block lists. Let us block them first so we get to define what the fediverse should look like, not them.

I don’t know what to do to get good search results anymore if this happens. Using site:reddit.com has been the only way recently to find opinions from actual people regarding some product I’m considering. Maybe I’ll just stop buying things and go live in a cave. Can’t trust any information online anymore.

I was just thinking about a possible solution based on what we have. I agree it would be better if cross post comments were federated, but I guess there’s different opinions on that (do the lemmy devs agree for example?).

If it is possible to detect which posts are cross posts, it should be possible to create a client app that combines the threads. Maybe give you an option to chose which one to post your comment.

Unfortunately they don’t ship to norway (or have a norwegian layout available). But would really like one if/when they do. Not in a rush to get a new laptop now though. I’ll keep framework in mind when its time for a new one.

I will have no next windows PC anyways. I’ll go out of my way to get one without a windows license, to put linux onto it :)

This. It is so sad that these companies get to set arbitrary expiration dates on perfectly good hardware for “security” features nobody asked for. They keep getting away with planned obsolesence and monopolistic moves, by fearmongering about security. Even if the “solutions” does nothing to secure the users. The only thing they care about securing is their profit.

If it is network connected, consider giving it a static IP in the router. I can imagine the computer being confused by the printer having a new IP since last time (can happen with automatic IP), when you try to print something.

Mautrix facebook I think

Tried that for messaging once. It worked for like 2 days until facebook decided someone had “hacked” my account and I needed to reset my password. Didn’t help that the matrix bridge was very flaky and nigh impossible to set back up again after it failed, without just deleting the entire matrix database and starting from scratch. Not recommended.

I feel like this is about tracking. As in microsoft want the PC to wake up and scan wifi networks to figure out where it is, so they can use this data for targeted ads they serve in the start menu and bing, etc.

Have you tried the “OsmAnd~” version on fdroid? I think that one is basically the full version without a paywall. You could try yourself if you find it worth it, and buy the official app if you want to support the project.

That kinda sounds like a bad cable. I’ve had the same issue with both HDMI and DP before and it was solved with a new cable both times 🙂 Display cables are quite hit and miss when it comes to quality.

I personally think opinionated software is better. If the maintainers need to add a bunch of features to please everyone, that’s going to be more work to maintain, and more work to set up an instance for example, as you would need to consider more options in the configuration. Being opinionated allows the maintainer to focus on polishing the main functionality, instead of battling tech debt in a project that has grown larger than initially intended.

I’ll use another controversial project as example. The Gnome desktop environment has gotten a lot of negative attention due to the opinionated implementation, e.g 3rdparty extensions/theming breaking on updates. As a gnome user myself I’ve been annoyed many times. But I’ve been using fewer and fewer extensions and gotten more used to the “gnome way” lately, and have come to really appreciating Gnome for what it is. I keep coming back to gnome after trying alternatives, as it works pretty good out of the box and is a cohesive experience.

We have the same/similar regulations in norway as well. I don’t have an e bike, but I guess the speed limit must be annoyingly low. I often pass them on my regular bike in like 30 km/h.

That’s right. And if there is, the issue is the bank, not your phone. Rule number 1 in security is never trust the client.

Damn that’s a bummer. So the strategy of all the tech corporations now is to annoy us into paying yet another subscription.
