derf82 , to nostupidquestions in Why do most US lawsuits settle instead of going to trial?

As already mentioned, lawsuits are expensive. And if they don’t go your way, they can even get more expensive as you may have to pay the other side’s legal fees.

Also, lawsuits take forever. Even when you go through trial and get a verdict, there is still years worth of appeals coming. Even with a win, you maybe be waiting years.

Settling is far cheaper and sees much faster results, even if you are confident you will win.

ReakDuck , to linux in [solved] How to set up absolute mouse movement mode on KVM

I think that KVM has nothing to do with absolute or flat mouse input, the OS is deciding afaik

tubbadu OP ,

uhm so the setting should be inside the OS installed in the VM?

ReakDuck ,

I assume, yes. Otherwise it wouldn’t make sense. KVM just passes the mouse as is afaik. I am no expert but I just my daily life logic to it. Maybe i am completely wrong.

The only use case I have for KVM Qemu is to passthrough my whole USB PCI from mainboard and GPU and play VR on a VM.

tubbadu OP ,

enabling the passthrough of the USB mouse fixed my problem! thanks!

ReakDuck ,

Well, then maybe it was some weird mouse emulation thing. Now I wonder if it actually has flat/adaptive mode or if its just too laggy/weird.

Pyroglyph , to selfhosted in Should I use dedicated hardware?
@Pyroglyph@lemmy.world avatar

I run a home server with an i5-4590 and I haven’t seen it use more than 35W. I’m still looking to upgrade to a newer but lower power CPU (ideally one of those super low wattage chips with similar or better performance like an R7 5700U or i7-1260U).

If power usage is a concern and you don’t need much raw compute, a Pi (or similar SBC) should serve your needs just fine.

If you need a decent middle ground, take a look at mini PCs, they tend to use efficiency-focused laptop chips which are way more powerful than an SBC but sip power compared to a full-fat system.

Archpawn , to nostupidquestions in Why do most US lawsuits settle instead of going to trial?

Unless the two sides significantly disagree about the chances of winning, they’re both better off avoiding the costs of trial and the risk of not being able to predict the result by settling. Also, they can have NDAs as part of the settlement and it doesn’t set a precedent, so even if it’s a large settlement other people will be less likely to sue than if they lost.

I am using linkding for my bookmarks. Used LinkAce before. linkding is perfect for my minimalistic taste. I just miss having an app for it. There’s an app for linkding for iOS, though.

HangingFruit , to fediverse in Do any mobile apps have 'mark read once scrolled past posts' yet?
@HangingFruit@czech-lemmy.eu avatar

Not as far as I know. Lemmy API doesn’t support marking multiple posts at once, so there is currently no clean way. And no application does it locally. Yet at least.

That’s not true. There are both native and web apps that do this.

@gkd@lemmy.ml avatar

This is true, actually. I’ve felt uncomfortable adding something that essentially can create 10s of requests per second to an APIs that have been struggling significantly.

I see though that it’s being done and - although I’m not one of the admins to know - things seem to be fine now.

I don’t think it’s the best idea, given the fragility of things, but we can revisit this.

kimagure , to nostupidquestions in How do you choose an instance and does that have a significant effect on your Lemmy experience?

With current synchronisation problem between instances, choosing a big instance is a no brainer. I don't want to use small instance and got 404 when searching community on other instance or when not all comments from other instances showed up.

henfredemars ,

This is a good point for not choosing too small. I’ve made a couple of accounts, and it looks like when a servers crosses that 1,000 or 2,000 user mark you start getting much better consistency than the micro instances with only a few hundred users.

I usually find that I have to reload a few times if I’m the first person to try to subscribe to a community. That happens uncomfortably too often if the instance is small. Even then, it can take a days or possibly never to properly federate.

I’m sure these issues will be fixed, but for now, I’d like myself a small instance but not too small so as to avoid issues with consistency.

phoenix591 ,

there arn’t any sync problems currently. You’re posting just fine from kbin.social onto lemmy.world and it federated just fine onto my own tiny instance and so many others.

Chickenlambchops ,

Is this why I don’t find anything when I search for Sousvide or dehydrating?

phoenix591 ,

itl only search within communities at least one person on your instance is subbed to yes. and subbing doesn’t pull in hardly any previous posts, mostly just new ones from that point on

use something like this to help find communities, and perhaps retry searching on the home instance of a relevant community to search its entire history

Chickenlambchops ,

So when I do this. It tells me to login via Lemmy.world ? I am on a smaller instance.

phoenix591 ,

you dont need to login to search.

if you do find something you want to do more than simply view, copy the post or comment url, and then search for it on your home instance for it to be pulled over so you can properly interact with it

Ghyste ,

When you go into the community search on your instance, make sure you select All instead of Local. You’ll get results from all of the instances yours is federated with then.

The community catalogs people post will often take you straight to a different instance—which is different from the one you made your account on and logged into—which is why you see a login prompt.

Searching from your instance with All selected will let you visit communities from any instances yours is connected with while you stay logged in on your home instance. Hope that helps, I tried to simply but it’s late and I’m tired.

Chickenlambchops ,

I think I know what the issue is. I’m using wefwef/voyager. I think the search there is making it hard for me to find things. I’ll try on the computer. Thank you

Coeus , to android in What's your favourite keyboard app? ⌨️

I use Gboard because it just works. I would like to move to a FOSS keyboard but every one I’ve tried become frustrating to use.

omarciddo ,

Yep. Much as I hate to say it, GBoard just feels good in a way that none of the other major swipe keyboards have for me.

kratoz29 ,

Same, I scrolled too far to find another gboard user lol.

AMillionMonkeys ,
@AMillionMonkeys@lemmy.world avatar

If you just want to distance yourself from Google, give OpenBoard a try. It’s GBoard without the G. It’s been working just the same for me, except for some reason it spontaneously decided to stop automatically capitalizing “I”.

Coeus ,

I’m replying with open board, let’s see how it does.

@gogosempai@programming.dev avatar

There’s a fork of OpenBoard that enables Glide typing, in case you’re in interested in that:

github.com/erkserkserks/openboard

gringo_dingo ,

Thank you for that recommendation. Was using AnySoftKeyboard for ages and got very frustrated with autocorrect and space bar position. Now, I can ditch it for something that works.

BenderFender ,

I agree. I’ve tried so many FOSS keyboards and no matter how hard I try, I just have to go back to gboard. It’s wild how hard it is to find a good keyboard. I can’t even use the stock Samsung one anymore

FarLine99 ,

GBoard without internet access is good compromise for me.

For all the hate it gets, Inquisition was this for me as well, when I wanted a relatively simple primary plot where the problem of evil could be solved by hitting it with a sword. The musical interlude “The Dawn Will Come” that happens after the player’s party suffers their first big setback has stuck with me as well.

Valmond , to technology in Best Linux laptop for 2023

That seems quite top of the line even today.

For battery life, the screen, the screen, the GPU (seems you use an IGP), the size of the screen, and the CPU are the main culprits.

64GB RAM will use some battery do you really need that much?

Hopefully your 1TB is an SSD otherwise an SSD is a nice upgrade.

There are also fat fat powerbanks for power users far away from a 110/220volt line!

I Am curious, most often power hungry laptops are gaming ones… What do you do with yours?

ede OP ,

I’m in DevSecOps, and do a lot of heavy development and testing, as well as PoCs. Ideally, I’d have 128GB of RAM but laptops aren’t quite there yet. The HD is a Samsung SSD.

I usually have the GPU set to integrated graphics unless I’m doing some heavy load in which case I’ll switch over to the nvidia GPU. I also switch between power modes depending on my use case at the time.

There’s not a lot I can do with the CPU other than the optimizations I’ve done thus far. It’s actually one of the main reasons I’m looking to upgrade so I can have better performance per watt and take advantage of various cores depending on workload.

Morphior ,

What OS are you primarily using? I’d imagine Kali for pentesting if you do that, but what do you use everyday?

Contramuffin , to nostupidquestions in Why do most US lawsuits settle instead of going to trial?

I mean, I agree with you. Companies that break the rules should get sued and get punished. But the reality often is that the person who files the suit often doesn’t really have the time and money to fight all the way to the end. And remember that even then, the court may not always rule in favor of the person who filed the lawsuit. So settlements end up just being a practical shortcut.

@pwnicholson@lemmy.world avatar

You can basically roll your own private one with Plex running PlexAmp. You can even share it with friends (or family or whoever… Based on your interpretation of the laws in your area)

It’s not decentralized, and you have to bring your own music, but it’s something.

Yeah that’s at least something and I have been wanting to look further into running a Plex server.
