I need to be able to “RDP” into remote machines. I think that one is probably easy and built-in from decades ago.

KDE has a built in RDP server you can enable!

If you’re using X server and not Wayland, xrdp is also good.

Remmina is a good RDP client.

I also need to be able to setup a Hyper-V equivalent, to run other machines from my main laptop- haven’t figured that one out yet.

GNOME Boxes might be what you’re looking for? KVM if you need a full blown hypervisor.

That time Janeway and Paris hit Warp 10 in Star Trek.

Such a cool concept ruined by such a stupid episode.

Also Trip doesn’t die.

Is there a good resource for determining how “effective” your donation to any given open source org is? As in how much of it is going to be paid to the actual devs, QA, and other related workers vs higher management?

IIRC that’s a major complaint with Mozilla and a lot of other large open source orgs.

Also, commenting again because I just remembered that I’ve definitely seen depictions of him tied to the cross with rope. Probably because they don’t want to show blood and gore in, say, religious material for children or something? Not sure.

Still, the idea that you’re okay with showing the public execution of your God but blood is where you draw the line is kind of silly to me.

I mean, most “religious descriptions” of Jesus I’ve seen make him a white guy when he’s definitely Middle Eastern.

Same with Google allowing literal malware to advertise themselves posing as legitimate apps that show above the actual app’s website.

They even let ads spoof the display domain name to match the official website (and do no checks for whether they actually own the display domain despite literally having the infrastructure to do that in their SEO tools) while redirecting to a different domain when you click the ad.

Even if this is genuine incompetence and not malice, they’re so disgustingly incompetent that they don’t deserve to exist just the same as if it was malice.

Yeah the malware is called Windows 11

Karl Marx. And never. Marx is immortal.

Run it in a VM? Maybe even one of those fancy ones that make it appear as a normal window in your Linux DE. Doesn’t solve the problem of the spyware existing but at least it’s contained and can’t touch your Linux apps.

“Hey Gemini write me a React app”

Academic tradition requires you to cite works…

I mean, regardless of whether Jesus was God or got crucified or not I assume they meant the wrists were the “standard” way the Romans nailed people to crosses? Presumably because the hand bones are pretty weak compared to the joint attaching your two forearm bones and they’d just fall off after a day or two? IDK I’ve never crucified anyone.

Yeah looks to me like scaling artifacts from shrinking the image. AFAIK AI isn’t that consistent especially with high contrast shapes.

If you’re willing (and/or able) to disassemble the phone and solder to the main board, you should be able to replace the battery with a 3.7v DC power supply.

Unless there’s some protocol that communicates with the battery controller to validate it that I’m not aware of which will refuse to accept power input otherwise? I feel like that shouldn’t be the case if the battery is internal and they don’t expect you to replace it anyway?

Definitely helps if it’s like a Fairphone or something with the battery contacts already exposed and easy to access. Actually, someone should 3D print a Fairphone battery dummy that just has wires coming out of it to hook up to your own power supply. Maybe with an ATTiny chip to spoof whatever digital signals it wants from the battery if that’s required.

An extra hard drive for offline backup of my home server. Just knowing I have a cold, unplugged copy of my data in my drawer has made me less paranoid about accidentally “rm -rf”-ing my computer and taking all the mount points with it or my dog getting her paw caught on a wire (she likes to run around haphazardly and is pretty clumsy) and dragging the entire hard drive enclosure down with it.

Ideally I wouldn’t keep that drive in my house but I don’t have anywhere else to put it. Maybe someday I’ll get a safe deposit box or something but then my lazy ass probably wouldn’t bother to retrieve and sync my data nearly as often.

Man, I bought proper earbuds after using bottom shelf specials all the time and I realized there were sounds in my favorite songs I’d never heard before.

Now I’m just hoping they last more than a year. The last time I bought expensive brand name earbuds one stopped connecting in literally a few months while the cheap knockoffs seem to last forever.

Because .world definitely uses Cloudflare? https://checkforcloudflare.selesti.com/?q=lemmy.world

Weird. Didn’t notice because Cloudflare blocks my real user traffic because I have the audacity to use a VPN and Firefox with privacy extensions that block like maybe two of their arsenal of fingerprinting tools.

Just make sure you choose rich parents when getting conceived smh

This could have been an extension downloaded by only the people who want it and no one would have complained. Nothing like developing a full featured extension system and promptly not using it for a feature they know for a fact people have very polarized opinions about. What is it called when software ships with random shit nobody wanted or asked for and can’t be removed? Oh right! Bloatware!

“Oh just disable it” yeah just like the Android apps that came with my phone which have disable instead of uninstall in settings. A nice big middle finger to the user that makes it clear they don’t want them in control of their own devices.

If I wanted an “AI browser” or a browser with every feature under the sun related to web browsing or not, I’d be using Edge. Nobody is choosing Firefox because they want the same experience as a big tech corporate browser, they’d choose an actual big tech corporate browser in that case.
