I installed Firefox (Android version) on a Chromebook to see if I could keep 2 browsers with separate profiles and setups.
The Firefox browser on a Laptop computer looked awful. A narrow phone UI, but stretched really, really wide. It made no attempt at utilizing a wide tablet layout.
At least a million data points from 23andMe accounts appear to have been exposed on BreachForums. While the scale of the campaign is unknown, 23andMe says it's working to verify the data.
Canonical are currently dealing with a security incident with the Snap store, after users noticed multiple fake apps were uploaded so temporary limits have been put in place.
After realizing the Godot package in Ubuntu was terribly outdated, I checked their snap store.
There are half a dozen Godot packages on Snapcraft, uploaded by random people. There is no indication of which a user should actually get, as none are “official”. The one package that has a “verified” check also has a full description of just the word “blah”, so it’s clear it’s not the real one and the “verified” checkmark means nothing.
Anyone that wants to upload something can. Non-functional, non-tested apps, others’ work, abandoned apps, malware, etc.
And then the system ties your hands behind your back and refuses to let you control things like updates.
Snaps are an abortion and it has been turning people off to Ubuntu like crazy.
We are getting closer to the next major release. This version will have many breaking changes, so we are listing them here for app and client developers to adjust their projects....
Up until now, I’ve only gotten the Pfizer vaccines. And while I’ve reacted to them, it was never particularly bad. Light muscle aches and some fatigue were basically it. Worst was the second one - I could feel my hair follicles and eyelids with that one....
The old Pfizer doses would shut me down for 3 days.
Fever, chills, body aches, fatigue.
The first shot wasn’t so bad. The second and third were insane.
I’m pretty sure I’ve had a fourth shot, but I don’t remember how I felt. I think I got covid last year, after already having the third shot, and I’ve been dealing with symptoms for over a year now (mostly muscle fatigue).
I want the new shot with the new variant mix, but I’m also afraid of how I’m going to react to it. I have too much going on at work and home right now to take half a week off for the shot.
I have a pretty crummy immune system and have always dealt with autoimmune issues, so it’s important that I get the shot, even if I react badly to it. :/
I’m still waiting for the spooky stuff I’ve been hearing about for years.
I’m being tracked. My information sold and exchanged. Big, evil corporations trading my data with other companies like it was baseball cards. All my inner-most desires leaked!
All to get an ad for a “litter box robot” or whatever when I’m browsing memes.
Motorola lost my business when they sold me a phone and then provided a grand total of ONE OS upgrade its entire life (Moto G LTE, shipped with an outdated 4.4 build, and then got a single update to 5.1 before being abandoned forever).
There is no potential for brand loyalty when the brand themselves tell their own customers to fuck off.

I wanted to create a Shortcut to a GUI application directly on my Desktop on Linux (Ubuntu 22.04), and after fucking with Gnome extensions and googling multiple terms, I thought I was going insane. There is seriously no easy, standard, or simple way of doing that.
On Windows or macOS you can just click & drag to make a shortcut to a file, and then put the shortcut on your Desktop. Done.
On Gnome you have to manually create a .desktop file, fill it with the parameters to run the application (usually by opening a different .desktop file and copying & pasting the contents), ensure you also have Gnome configured to even allow desktop icons, and then copy the .desktop file to the Desktop.
The Gnome experience was the most-rigid, least user-friendly or user-customizable interface.
I guess the problem is that I shouldn’t be using Gnome. I liked how simple & clean it is by default, but I hate how inflexible it is.
If you’re building systems, I would assume you’re the kind of person that knows how they work.
The system tells you what CPU it has on boot.
The BIOS tells you what CPU you have.
MemTest86 would have told you what CPU you had when you tested it after assembling your system.
Windows tells you what you have in Settings > About and Task Manager.
Apps like CPU-Z have been downloaded a billion times and tell you what CPU you have.
Geekbench would have told you what CPU you have and how it performs.
The article mentions someone paying a bunch for a specific CPU back in April, but then never bothered actually checking it until recently… What the CPU had written on it is meaningless. I couldn’t even tell you what my current CPU looked like before I installed it. It could have said Pentium 2 or 486SX or Core i-13. What mattered was that it physically fit, the system booted, and my software said “yup, this is what you paid for.”
Piracy talk is a big no-no, but I do get to see the continuous creation of never-ending pornographic hentai & furry shit or whatever. The drawings look like sexualized cartoons made for children and the furry stuff just looks like people drawing out their sick sexual fantasies of animals. Totally normal for the communities that are into that stuff. Don’t kink shame!
My blocked community list is several pages long now. I really hate that I have to fucking VISIT a community before I can click something to block it. I wish I could tap-and-hold on a post and be able to block the community it was posted in or block their whole fucking disgusting server.
But I can’t.
Because that’s the beauty of Lemmy and federation.
I’m guessing lemm.ee admins take a stronger stance against sick shit.
Edit: a lot of the posts I see are from communities on the “yiffit.net” server. I have no idea how to block the entire thing. I’ll block one community from there and then posts from another will show up.
Edit2: just saw a “kurumi_nsfw” post that looked like a drawing of a naked little girl and an “animefeet” post a little below where I saw this thread, so it’s definitely showing up for people.
My iPhone 14 Pro started vibrating at random it vibrates when I’m on the Home Screen or in an app. With no visible pattern. No notifications are popping up and there are no notifications in the notifications center. I’m at a loss.
Just like there are shitloads of bad SD cards (no-name, unbranded, generic, etc.), it’s just as cheap and easy for any random company to produce their own SSD and get it in circulation on the market just like legitimate SSDs.
Any SSD that could be damaged by a swap file is not an SSD you should have anywhere near your system in the first place (even if you never plan on putting a swap file on it).
Apart from being open source what is Linux? Could I not create my own operating system that is different to windows or Macos and call it Steve, again there might be an awnser for this and sounds stupid but its more out of curiosity.
I was surprised when I heard the company that makes scissors at my kid’s school had made the jump to automobiles. Then I realized that Fisker and Fiskars are different.

I like glass screens with an anti-glare screen protector on it.
The foldables I’ve seen use glossy, soft plastic screens.
We’re already off on a bad start.
These things are becoming softer, more fragile, and more disposable, all the while going up up up in price.
When I see a review for a device that can be permanently damaged with just a fingernail and is frail enough to snap in half if folded the wrong way - all the while costing way more than a regular phone, I don’t know if I’d feel comfortable using it. I already get uncomfortable handing my “normal” phone to someone to see, especially a kid.
This is unfortunately an accurate description of that movie.
Think of something like Airplane! or Ghostbusters. There are so many memorable and/or silly parts and lines that people remember well and will repeat over and over. But of course, each also has a real movie to go along with it.
All the clips and lines and other zany parts of Kung Pow can be hilarious, but the movie itself is pretty bad.
