morhp,

Why would a bot unfollow because someone is coming out as lesbian?

morhp,

The post itself implies causation. Also why would a bot unfollow at all?

Made the switch to KDE

I’ve been using Fedora for a couple of months now, and have been loving it. Very soon after I jumped into this community (among other Linux communities) and started laughing at all the people saying “KDE rules, GNOME drools,” and “GNOME is better, KDE is for babies.” But then I thought, “Why not give KDE a try? The...

morhp,

Gnome is great because of the large UI size. Like my 14" notebook has a roughly 2800x1600 screen resolution and it’s still pretty usable without any UI scaling. If the bars are an inch tall, you’re either using a huge TV or a screen from the garbage dump. Gnome really needs a modern system.

morhp,

Java only has instanceof and getClass, not typeof.

morhp,

I mean, they seem to have basic grammar for items and people and actions (“eyes”, “walls”, “fell”), it’s possible that they only use that weird allegory reference pattern when speaking formally to strangers or whatever. It’s also possible that their language in the original version makes more sense and is more practical and it just gets mangled by the universal translator.

morhp,

I believe I read that it helps with lung development when the fetus is swimming in the water in the womb or something like that. But otherwise not really useful.

morhp,

The “q. s.” remains a mystery though.

q.s. means quantum satis and is Latin for “as much as necessary”. Which means they add enough for the right consistency or flavour or whatever, but the exact amount isn’t given and might vary.

morhp,

The article says that, but it’s from Bild, one of the worst German news sites/papers. Can’t really trust it. They’re constantly lying or pushing their own POV or create drama for no reason.

morhp,

Still sounds implausible and far fetched. Why would you be outside without adequate clothing? (Also below zero can be fine in jeans and sweatshirt if the sun is shining and there isn’t much wind). And in that case it would be more a heat issue and less like a shelter issue.

The other case also sounds more like a heat/water issue and less like a shelter issue.

morhp,

Don’t like them either.

morhp,

Also parts of the existing tech tree, just to be clear.

morhp,

Some are, the intellij java community edition is even open source. The paid ones are not too expensive, I pay around 200€ yearly for the all products pack and that’s definitely worth it for a professional developer. If you are a student or open source developer, you can apply for free versions also.

morhp,

In Skyrim you’re literally on foot and the world slowly expands around you and you become interested in it.

Yeah, and exploration wisey I prefer Oblivion even more. Skyrim feels smaller and less varied, and horses and other fast-travel options are cheaper and easier available.

Blue light gets scattered more by the atmosphere. So less blue light is received directly in a straight line from the sun and more is reflected from other parts of the sky. That’s also why the sky looks blue in the day and why the evening sky looks red (if the sun is very low during the evening, the blue light can’t reach you because it scattered so much due to the very long shallow way through the atmosphere)

morhp,

In spring, I put a few sprouting potatoes in the compost, waited a few month and since July or so I have a huge bucket of homegrown potatoes that I have problems to use up. So very easy food source. Can recommend. There were a few pill bugs/ potato bugs who love the taste of the plants, but their damage had not much effect on the harvest in the end.

Before USB C, the standard was pretty much Micro USB and before that Mini USB. Only before that, you see tons of weird proprietary connectors.

Reddit users are reporting Christian websites for violating Virginia's new porn identification law, citing vulgar passages in the Bible (www.insider.com)

As more and more states pass laws targeting "pornographic material" in books and online, they are repeatedly running up against a problem: The Bible has not just a few passages that could be considered indecent

morhp,

So sites like pornhub now simply need to host two sfw items for every porn video?

3d modelling and slicing software for Linux

Hi y’all! This may be a stupid question, but here it goes anyways: I’m thinking of trying to install Linux on a laptop that’s getting slow because of a bloated Windows install. I basically only use it for some internet browsing and 3D modelling (Fusion360) and slicing for my 3D printer (Cura). Is such software available...

morhp,

For modeling I like Freecad and Blender. Blender is more for general modelling and sculpting, Freecad is more for cad/constraint based creation of precise 3d models. So use blender if you want to create little soldiers or elephants or other more organic stuff, and use Freecad if you want to print a replica of a plastic part or an enclosure or something like that.

There should be tons of slicers available on Linux.

Could you compress text files by mapping a word to how commonly it is used and translating it with an application?

It’s a bit of a weird shower thought but basically I was wondering hypothetical if it would be possible to take data from a social media site like Reddit and map the most commonly used words starting at 1 and use a separate application to translate it back and forth....

morhp,

Yes, it’s very efficient and the core of what complession formats like .zip do.

The main difference to your idea is that computers count in binary like 0, 1, 10, 11, 100, 101 and so on and that you don’t want to assign these very low codes words directly. Say you’d have assigned 1 the most common word, then that will would be encoded very short, but you’d sort of take the one away from all the other codes, as you don’t know if 11 is twice the most common word or once the 11th (3rd in decimal) common word.

Huffman essentially computes the most optimal word assignments mathematically.

The main other difference between your suggestion and most compression algorithms is that you wouldn’t use a huge dictionary in real time and loading it and looking into it would be very slow. Most compression algorithms have a rather small dictionary buildin and/or they build one on the fly looking at the data that they want to compress.

morhp,

Als Ersatz für Sahne geht ganz gut eine Bechamel Soße auf Basis von Gemüsebrühe (und wer mag ggf Sojamilch oder Kokosmilch, aber das würde ich dann mehr als eigenständiges Produkt sehen und nicht als Milchersatz). Oder halt je andere Soße, z.b. Tomatenpüree. Oder eben ohne Soße. Wenn man das Gemüse usw. vorher anbrät wird das schön weich und man braucht nicht unbedingt eine Soße um das dann nochmal darin zu kochen.

Als Ersatz für Käse kann man gut Semmelbrösel mit etwas Öl oder Margarine oder anderem fett drüber streuen (plus ggf Gewürze). Das wird knusprig und auch lecker. Alternativ kann man statt Semmelbrösel auch einfach Mehl nehmen und aus Mehl, Fett, Salz und Gewürzen einen herzhaften"Streuselteig" wie beim Kuchen backen machen. Wird auch knusprig und lecker.

morhp,

Nice, haven’t played Factorio for a while, but I could probably get back into it with the expansion.

morhp,

I always thought hdr was more of a preprocessing step to prevent clipping unrelated to display tech.

That’s tone mapping, HDR is actually having more than 8 bits and often also more colorful colours than normal. I think 10 bits are common.

Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now?

I’ve noticed in the Linux community whenever someone asks for a recommendation on a laptop that runs Linux the answer is always “Get a Thinkpad” yet Lenovo doesn’t seem to be a big Linux contributor or ally. There’s also at least six Linux/FOSS-oriented computer manufacturers now:...

morhp,

Framework has some quality problems, not everyone is a fan of the keyboard, and it’s relatively expensive.

Tuxedo is quite good, but they often use stock Clevo models and customize them, so they might be cheaper and not that well designed than one by a “proper brand”.

Not sure about the rest.

There’s very little alternative if you want a ThinkPad style keyboard and track pad/trackpoint for the price of a used or older ThinkPad.

morhp,

It’s available, but they’re still US based and basically importing it, you don’t have proper EU customer protection or EU warranty* for example. I wouldn’t buy it just because of that.

  • They give 2 years of warranty for their EU customers, but not EU wide as would be required if actually selling from the EU. You also have basically no chance to sue then or otherwise demand anything if they for some reason ignore your warranty claim.
morhp,

Sollte egal sein.

morhp,

Klar, für viele schon. Für einige Veganer sind sogar alle Haustiere ein Problem, schließlich hält man dabei ja ggf. auch Tiere “in Gefangenschaft”, nicht zwingend artgerecht, usw.

morhp,

However with Framework you still need to be careful in Europe. It’s an US based company and if you have a defect or problem that Framework for some reason doesn’t resolve, good luck trying to enforce your EU customer protection or suing them in the US.

Framework is also very strict regarding unsupported countries. If you move within the EU to a country that isn’t supported by Framework, you’ll have big problems with support in case you need help or parts or whatever.

morhp,

I’m not saying that support is lacking, all I’m saying is that you have to have complete trust in a company on the other side of the globe, because all the warranties and promises they give you are completely based on their good will. If they decide to stop supporting you for whatever reason, you pretty much have no leverage.

I live in Germany near the Netherlands border. Moving between countries is very common here because of different living costs and job opportunities and losing support because you move a few km west or east is not acceptable in my opinion.

morhp,

It’s Meta/Facebook. If people don’t at least strongly suspect that they’ll collect as much personal data as they possibly can, they’re living behind the moon.

morhp,

While we’re at it, you probably need to adjust the"Reddit" reference in rule 6.

Which Lemmy app is closest in feel to Infinity for Reddit?

I know that Connect, Sync, and Thunder all exist, but which one feels closest to Infinity for Reddit? Been using Jerboa since I switched from Reddit to Lemmy, but so far it hasn’t been an amazing experience. I understand that it’s still super early in development and I know that issues are inevitable but I haven’t seen...

morhp,

I have no experience with Infinity, but Liftoff is a nice new app for Lemmy, which feels much more polished than Jerboa.
