monobot,

Which brend and model didyou get?

monobot,

Why wouldn’t they? It just measures electrical resistance of the soil, less moisture means more resistance. Nice and simple.

I have cheap one connected to arduino, and small water pump conected to it too. It works nicely.

monobot,

And it is always a question how they calculated handling of nuclear waste.

There are options, we can use coal and natural gas for on demand power to fill the gaps in renewables, we don’t have to quit all at once. New ideas for energy storage and comming around, some of them might be useful for small towns, others for remote places.

monobot,

My GeoTIFFs do not agree.

monobot,

Slackware is obvious choice, exactly what you are looking for.

It was my first distro and I miss it a lot. Simplicity and stability are main selling points.

monobot,

I have the same recommendation, try slack out it really feets.

But I think it will be like Genie fullfiling your wishes - you don’t really know what you are looking for, but it might really suit you.

monobot,

I would like to have separate reaults for north and south Italy, if someone knows how to find it please let me know.

monobot,

AI has been paying of for decades, it is used in all industries for appropriate tasks.

Now it is even better we are doing stuff no one thought it could be possible and advancing our work.

Perfect use case is for things that are simple to do but take too much time to be economical for humans (ex. counting products, plants, trees, cars, disease detection…) and using additional data to make better decisions.

Generative AI (for writing text, coding,… ) is of course no where close to being useful, but it can interesting to try. It is just a toy, expensive one, but still a toy.

monobot,

This is just what is visible to users/customers which is just top of the iceberg.

Real use of AI is in every industry and best use case is for jobs that were imposible before.

monobot,

I do not, please inform me, since as far as I know Firefox was always trying to be featurefull browser.

monobot,

t490 is usb-c

monobot,

It is unbelievable we do not have standard document format.

monobot,

I agree, we need support for it in libreoffice and than other document editors.

We can not expect people to use codes, but editor that saves to it would be grat.

monobot,

And you just need to find good non science fiction way to deal with nuclear waste.

And some ethical ways of aquiring uranium.

With all that calculated in, I am certain how much cheaper it is.

monobot,

I agree with all points, thanks for writting them down. Current UI is great for me.

monobot,

Well… they are right.

Downvote for use of word “morons”.

monobot,

Here is nice help for python software to determine XDG directories (and more): pyxdg.readthedocs.io/en/…/basedirectory.html

PyXDG contains implementations of freedesktop.org standards in python.

monobot,

I think at some point we will have to introduce human confirmation from creator side.

I don’t mind someone using chatgpt as a tool to write better articles, but most of internet is sensles bs.

monobot,

People also misuse other *ism words, it is quite normal to make general stereotypes of *ism especially for jokes.

monobot,

Me too, such a great app. I tried others and were not good for me.

monobot,

This is so simple equation, ai can not believe how many people are agains it.

One my friend lives near Oslo and works in Oslo. He checks in as soon as he sits in a train and starts checking his emails.

monobot,

And also making US more dependable on oil.

monobot,

Years ago when I would go to have a job interview and if wouldn’t see any sofas I would ask manager: “Do you even work at this company at all? You obviously don’t get tired or you would have sofas for quick rest.” They would get embarrassed every time.

monobot,

Yeah, it’s much better to zombi it out in the office.

/s obviously :)

monobot,

OsmAnd has “public transport” option it shows you all the routes abd stops and you can choose specific one. It is great.

monobot,

There are no other options.

I hope ladybird will become usable in few years.

monobot,

Since it is paywalled I can only guess from the title.

I don’t understand the problem. He was payed for reading books and now we all have his voice. What did he expect?

Is there an AI imitating his voice making money? Is it being represented with his name? If not, what would be the difference with some person imitating his voice, whould that be stealing too?

Basically I don’t see any problem with me buying those books training local model and give it other books to read. That can not be illegal, right?

Giving it to other people mentioning his name would definitely be fraud. But stealing? I don’t know.

Selling it to other people under other name… I don’t see a problem.

But than we come to AI generated images and I do start thinking in that way. Thou if they can find someone that looks like him, and other person sounding like him… they are all good?

monobot,

On Android?

monobot,

Mine too! I don’t understand why people don’t like it.

Not to mention it is believable. Yeah, maybe some things are too much but those are tools used to create emotion.

Not the lest that Brenna Odell was my childhood crush.

monobot,

Pics or didn’t happen.

I just can not imagine anyone forcing someone to sit in vomit.

Am I the only person who thinks Mozilla needs a rework? (rant)

So the other day I was testing a new browser called waterfox. What stuck me as odd was how a small company seemed to have made Firefox so much more usable everyone. I normally use librewolf for privacy and security reasons but waterfox actually temped me to switch. (I ended up not switching for privacy and security reasons)...

monobot,

I like the idea of Mozilla providing, even thou it can just be rebranding, some privacy concious services. Like reselling real private VPN, email, storage… with their brand.

monobot,

This thread reminds me of stackoverflow, most people are just convincing you in something else and it is obvious they have never been in your (and mine) situation.

Just answer question if you have some idea, yes we know python exist, that’s nice, but not an answer to this question.

monobot,

I don’t know how it works, but can you quit if you notice it is too much for you?

If it is about paying for school, give it one year and don’t get into debt until you know you can go through it.

On another note, the reason I decided to chip in:

I’ve been known to be a very emotional person. I’m sensitive, right?

Nope. If you are like me, your mother convinced you and others around you that you are “sensitive” and “emotional”. You ware actually neglected or traumatized in so way, maybe both. Probably by narcissistic person that convinced you in your sensitiveness.

I would suggest therapy if what is said hits close to home.

monobot,

I think he did suggest droid-ify with fdroid repo: github.com/Droid-ify/client

Looks good, I will try it out. You have it in F-droid :)

How to prevent Firefox on Android from refreshing when switching to Bitwarden for the password?

I’ve just switched from Brave to Firefox on Android and so far liking it. There’s one issue though. I use Bitwarden for my credentials & SwiftKey as keyboard. When I go to a website that asks for credentials, the Bitwarden button shows up above my keyboard to unlock my vault, as expected. I click it, unlock with fingerprint,...

monobot,

Sounds to me it is MIUI that kills a lot of stuff for me all the time, I also don’t know how to prevent it.

One way I do is start that other app first, than open needed tab in Firefox and do quick switch between apps. In that way FF is not reloading page, not Bitwarden but might be similar.

monobot,

Here is some explanation from firefox dev from two years ago www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/…/gs8mo2t/

The answer is complicated.

Mobile operating systems don’t have swap space. When running multiple apps, a mobile OS needs to be more aggressive at freeing memory than desktop operating systems do. They do this by terminating background processes. The OS uses various heuristics to decide which process(es) to kill.

The problem that you’re seeing is not intentional on our part; there isn’t something in Firefox that says, “unload everything whenever I go into the background.” Instead, it is caused by the content processes being terminated by Android itself.

We know that Chromium-based browsers seem to be working better in this regard. We do not yet have a clear picture about what specifically is causing our content process to be a frequent target.

We’re in the process of collecting additional telemetry to help us diagnose this. I’ve also landed a patch that helps to clean up content process memory usage when Android tells us that it needs memory, in the hope that it will reduce the likelihood of a content process termination. We’re also testing Nightly with multiple content processes enabled, which may help.

At any rate, I wouldn’t call this problem an intentional design decision, nor would I call it solved. We’re doing what we can to learn more about it and get it fixed at some point.

Sounds to me android is by design letting chrome based browsers and killing everything else.

Best Camera and Gallery app

Hey guys, Im trying to get rid of google apps so I have installed GCAM port MGC_8.9.097_A11_V4_ENG and simple gallery pro from fdroid. They are both amazing, but when Im in camera app and I want to use thumbnail to open last picture in gallery, it does open but then after 2 sec screen refreshes like I reopened the app. And even...

monobot,

Isn’t gcam still google’s app?

I think they hard code gallery started from their app, xiaomi does that too. Solution might be other camera app, like someone mentioned opencamera.

monobot,

And are we taking into account safe storage of nuclear waste for thousands of years (which we as civilization still don’t even have) or not?

Today’s journalists are really superficial.

monobot,

Are we talking about present or future?

Nuclear has a chance in thorium and malten salt reactors, uranium is made for nuclear booms, not for safe energy generation.

Sadly, no one is investing enough in thorium and malten salt to make it available in next 10-20 years, we have better chance in fusion than thorium.

Until than, sorry, but while you are right, that technology is not yet available.

monobot,

Nebula is owned by creators of content, maybe not all of them, but definitely at begining.

monobot,

I jusy went over their posts and maybe 20 percent cover Ukraine, most are jusr critical of US and most are widely accepeted western news sites ( ft, economist, independent ).

monobot,

I just assume that everyone has some kind of agenda, so I don’t see real problem with it.

Can you find many accounts that equally represent pro and against war stances and reportings? I most certanly haven’t seen them, nor did I see comentes negating their stance.

I don’t have a goal to chamge yoir opinion I am commenting for other people seeing your comment so that they get differet view point and check for themselves.

I think the biggest issue is that a lot of people from US never before ventured on non-US part of the net and have problem accepting that some people have negatinve opinions on US foreign policies (which would be whole non white part of the world). And now that you are exposed to differences of opinion you react the same as for your internal politics - by seeing it as an enemy and not another human beings with different life experiences.

monobot,

even lemmynsfw defederated them, lol 🤣 why?

[Rant] Cloud service is not a reason to have phones with only 128 GB

I am in the process of looking between repairing my phone or switching to a new one. And the no brainer evolution to the OnePlus 7 Pro I have is a Pixel phone. Pixel Phones are definitely not perfect, I know that the battery would fall faster than other phones but hey, that’s ok, google chip in it, possibility to go...

monobot,

Same here, I don’t understand people buying phones without SD card and than complaining about it.

They sent a message to manufacturer that they don’t want SD cart slot and of course in the next year evel less phones will have it.

monobot,

Because their opinion will decide what we will be using in decade or two.

monobot,

Or are just being given slow and aweful low end android phones. IPhones will be faster and better in every way.

It was the same with laptops 10-15 years ago, people were comparing cheap 400USD laptops with 1500USD macbooks and saying thise are better without ever seeing 1000+ USD PC.

It is about money/status and performance too.

I can freely laugh at a colleague with new 1.5k USD macbook with soldered 8GB ram + soldered 512GB SSD while using my three year old thinkpad with 48GB of RAM and 2TB SSD costing the same with upgrades.

monobot,

Yes Linux Gaming or Linux Daily chalenge, not sure right now but it generated a lot of discussion on the net.

He might be autustic or not, at that time I was giving it a pass since both of them were awkward, but with current discussion I remembered it immediately which is my instict telling me there is a connection.

monobot,

Yes they were both aweful, but somehow Linus got out of that video looking better than Louis.

Louis was the guest, he needs to end up looking good. It is not only recording but montage too.

I remember Louis was defending Linus from people seeing it as bad representation, so this is just my own private opinion - Louis didn’t want to go to war with much more popular Linus, that’s when his channel exploded in popularly.
