You could already do this for years through the “Files” app, just select the file/files and under the 3 dots “send to safe folder”. And it gets encrypted with a key on your device and if it corrupts or you try to open them on a new phone they wipe and are gone forever.

Ubuntu (and also Debian that it derives from) are always behind on the software release cycles and contain “stale” packages. This is desirable if you’re running a server, but if you’re wanting a modem day desktop experience a non-rolling release distro is just leaving performance/usability of your hardware on the table.

Think of Ubuntu/Debian and all their derivatives as the Jitterbug of the phone industry. They work perfectly fine, but if you want a real phone you’re probably going to be happier with an iPhone or Android phone just because they make use of newer technology and get updates constantly.

With all these domains they are continuing to seize and then need to continue to renew, at what point does a bean counter tell them it’s unsustainable? I also wonder how many sites just don’t get renewed because they slipped through the cracks like certs sometimes do. I guess if you’re a domain register this seems like a crazy inflated sales bubble that at some point is going to pop, and hopefully they have saved some of that revenue to ride out that lull.

Edit - a word

That “article” is painful to try and read, it’s like a run on thought that bounces all over the place. The author really should make a clear outline and could probably cut out half by not saying the same thing over and over and over again. I stopped after the third time I read about Fedora flatpaks are different from flathub flatpaks, and users like flathub more, but the author is apparently eventually going to explain why that’s an issue after 2K words of nonsense.

Your generic “barcode” for something like a UPC is considered a 1D barcode and uses things like the spacing of the lines and thickness to encode data. Although some 1D barcodes can detect the barcode is damaged they cannot do error recovery.

Your 2D barcodes, like QR or Data Matrix, store data in both directions and depending on format can have varying levels of error correction (duplicate data) built into the barcode. They also obviously can take up less room and hold the same or more data as well. You do need a scanner that can do 2D barcodes though, as not all scanners will read them.

They are not at all the same thing.

A QR code is just a 2D barcode that can be used to hold a certain amount of alphanumeric data (and amount is limited by size).

While pkpass is an Apple format used in its wallet app to store data.

Have you tried any of the suggested working proton flags on protondb?

Hogwarts Legacy

Have you tried the default Fedora kernel? Also you didn’t install TLP did you?

All good! The internet makes it even harder to tell because I can’t “read” anyone over the ether.

By 2035 we could be under water, or all living in a radioactive hellscape. And the argument of paying people to use a free service breaks logic.

Well a bunch of them are using WSL to do their work, which isn’t the same, but shows how many people are just stuck with a Windows box.

In StackOverflow 2024 survey ~17% of both professional and personal use users were using WSL.

Edit - A word went missing due to my battle with autocorrect. 😩

Instead of Garuda I would suggest CachyOS. The best of Arch but made simpler for people that don’t want to customize everything.

I’m not clicking on what looks like an AI slop YouTube video just to find out why a guy making a video about AI needed to use AI to make the video. Beyond seeing clippy for nostalgia, seeing that it’s likely a video about MS I care even less.

If you actually thought it was a video of value, you could have written (or just copy/pasta) a description of the video and why it might be of interest.

What? He kinda broke a finger and then suddenly needed to use AI? His one bad finger prevented him using the other 9? He couldn’t speech-to-text it?

Or did AI break his finger to get him to make the video?!

A /64 block of IPv6 is 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 available IP addresses.

If they don’t have the IPv4 addresses they can’t. Could always ask about IPv6, have seen ISP’s give out more than you’d ever need for a home LAN (like a /64).

Edit - I should add, do make sure you have a setup firewall as you will no longer be “protected” by NAT and all the IPv6 addresses are routable to the open Internet.

You don’t have to use an AUR helper, you could build it all with makepkg, but the helper just allows you to save time searching, downloading, and building.

I have the 8BitDo Ultimate controller and just store it in the dock when not in use. I’ve not had any connectivity issues (does Bluetooth & 2.4Ghz), battery life (22hrs), or ever have it just shut off. Also has rumble , motion, and hall effect sticks. The configuration of profiles can be done through a mobile app or Windows/VM.

You implied that my anti-Nazi comment from a different post was somehow a negative, thus making this thread about Nazis/fascism. It was a poor example of what I think you wanted to convey in terms of how you see political discourse on Lemmy.

You also for some reason see Nazis the same as people that disagree or down vote you about browser choice. That seems like a giant leap, and conflating the two is painting Lemmy with a broad brush. They are two wildly different issues and deserve different discussions as to why.

And my original comment came from someone that just stated that Fediverse was worse than the Commercial versions that are havens for fascists. And also the fact they track you around the Internet. So I did ask the question, and now you’re trying to turn this into some kind of douche wagon rodeo apparently.

I took your comment to mean you didn’t think we had enough Nazis on Lemmy, to which I will respond hostile towards. If you are anti-Nazi then you should not use the idea of an anti-Nazi comment to illustrate this fake idea of to narrow of political viewpoints on Lemmy.

Also, debating fascism is a whole different thing than people giving you shit over your choice of browser or Lemmy client. You shouldn’t conflate the two.
