fakeman_pretendname , to linux in Why is snaps hated

Perhaps it’s been fixed since, but a this type of thing was the main issue with snaps to me:

“Why can’t the program see the printer? Ubuntu can see the printer”

“Why can’t I save to this USB pen? It can’t even see it”

“These two programs are meant to work together, but they can’t see each other”

“I can’t open my project from my external drive”

“It won’t let me import the photos from my camera. It can’t see the camera”

Would have been less of an issue if they had an android-style permissions pop-up with each incident, but snaps just left you silently failing.

this is exactly my experience

This was the most frustrating for me as well. While I appreciate Snap trying to be a universal installer of sorts, it breaks too often to be useful.

joshhsoj1902 ,

This was my experience too. Ubuntu asks if I want to install the docker snap, I say sure. I then try to use docker and it’s completely unable to do what I need. I then need to figure out how to uninstall the snap and then install docker normally.

I tried a few snaps, but everytime they were a pain in the ass and I regretted it. Now I avoid them at all costs

LiamSora ,

Same with Docker. Installed it because Ubuntu recommended it then spent a month trying to figure out why all my docker containers would randomly shutdown and restart themselves. I knew snap auto-installed updates, but had no idea it would do it even if the program was currently running and in use.

There is absolutely such a thing as too much sandboxing, and flatpak is already pushing the limit.

For stability, I would definitely suggest a immutable distro

FlyingSquid , to nostupidquestions in If intelligent life is found in the universe will it change religion(s)?
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I think a lot of religious people will reason it this way- “Yes, there are aliens, but God chose us.

ParsnipWitch ,

They would just claim god created them, too. They already did this with the universe when the whole thing about there being other stuff than the earth came up.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Right, but you also need the whole “we were saved by Jesus” or “we were God’s chosen people” or whatever from the various religions. You have to maintain that by saying there may be aliens, but we’re the ones that God favors.

curiosityLynx ,

Not necessarily. Alternatively:

  • You can say that we're the only ones who needed saving.
  • You can claim they're angels or demons (if they're older than humanity)

Yep, it’s so good you can even type without looking at the keyboard, like I just did.

Drinvictus , to android in Discussion: What Android devices are you using?

I’m using a pixel 6 pro.

I absolutely love the camera quality

There’s nothing I dislike really. It’s an amazing phone that checks every box for me. I suppose if I could, I would improve the battery life. On a heavy day I go to bed with about 15% battery. Which is too close for comfort for some.

savvywolf , to gaming in Instead of "casual" or "ranked" they should just have "play to win" or "play for fun."
@savvywolf@pawb.social avatar

Smash Bros uses/used “For Fun” and “For Glory”, which I thought was pretty cute.

I think there is an issue with saying that ranked is “playing to win” though, since people in non-ranked games are still trying to win. They probably don’t want the pressure of ranked, or maybe just don’t want to play the meta.

I play LeagueOfLegends and play exclusively Normal Draft only. The pressure and toxicity is just to much.

Aside from that, don’t care much about the rank. It’s just more that people expect and force you to play ‘at your best’ and if you don’t. Well expect to be spam pinged, insulted and even trolled because “you died once because you played bad”.

Genericusername , to showerthoughts in They really named Black Noir "Black Black"

Schwarzenegger is basically two words for black fused together.

bizdelnick , to linux in Why did no one mention this to me?

Just because almost nobody need to have an iso library.

optissima , to asklemmy in Have you ever had a hyper realistic dream that you still remember after years?

I had a dream, when I was a young teen, about being the single parent of a daughter (mother died in child birth). I remember the 18 years of raising that child better than most of my own childhood memories: taking her home from the hospital, first steps, signing up for elementary school, taking her to school every day, watching my child grow up. Getting into disagreements, teaching to bike, the panic of the first day of her period (she tried to hide it because she thought she’d be in trouble). High school, school clubs, prom, college applications. We got into a disagreement on her 18th, and she told me I was a terrible paren, that I’d failed even being friends with her, which was the opposite of how I thought it was going. She appeared in the front door with a suitcase, and walked out stating she’d never see me again, and the dream ended. To this day it still shakes me, but not as hard as it did when I woke up that day, broken for being a bad parent that I didn’t see.

pacjo , to android in Button navigation is objectively better than gesture navigation.

That’s one hell of a controversial opinion.

I personally prefer gestures. I find them quicker (you don’t have to move your fingers as much to do anything, especially back gesture) and more intuitive (like swiping on the navigation pill or whatever it’s called to quickly switch apps, much better than double clicking recents button). Gestures also integrate nicely with the rest of os (like swiping from backspace to erase whole words in gboard).

One thing I hate and I can’t understand how that’s not fixed in stock AOSP is opening left side menus (those hamburger ones) with gestures enabled. Half of the time instead of opening the menu it will just go back, even if sensitivity on left edge is set to minimum.

This is something that custom roms address nicely as most of the time setting sensitivity to minimum would actually disable gestures in this area (take note Google). If this is something that’s bugging anyone, you can disable gestures on left edge over adb (without root) with: adb shell settings put secure back_gesture_inset_scale_left 0or with: su -c “settings put secure back_gesture_inset_scale_left 0”if you have root access (for more info look here).

shortwavesurfer ,

Pro tip. Press left edge for 0.5 seconds then pull it out. Works every time

ChristianWS ,

Issue is that developers are honestly, kinda of dumb in regards to the menu gesture, and AFAIK there wasn’t an actual “canonical” guideline for that gesture in the first place.

Discord offers the best implemention in my opinion, as it can function on the middle of the screen and not on the edge, so it doesn’t interfere with system gestures.

TheGreenGolem , to gaming in In which game did you spend the most hours?

Probably Heroes of Might and Magic III.

thingsiplay , to RedditMigration in remember to update your review of the official reddit app
@thingsiplay@kbin.social avatar

@edinbruh Does anyone treat app reviews seriously?

Sentinian ,

Anecdotal evidence so take with grain of salt, but it must have some effect cause of how many apps beg you to rate it 5 stars

thingsiplay ,
@thingsiplay@kbin.social avatar

@Sentinian True. I don't use Google app store (or Apple) since years and totally forgot that. Maybe the algorithm of the shop will give recommendations based on the ratings.

@Rtardedman@kbin.social avatar

It won't deter those that are already using reddit on pc to download the app on their phones, but it may deter new users if their first experience is a shitty advertisement riddled app.

Any time an app asks me to rate it, I immediately go and rate it one star.

NewDataEngineer , to selfhosted in Traefik tutorials?

For those using traefik I would recommend the dynamic file config. You don’t have to take down your containers just to change a proxy setting.

Kangie ,

With labels you just update the service definition by redeploying the stack; the dynamic file provider adds nothing in most circumstances.

You certainly don’t need to take down your container except to change things that are part of the Traefik static configuration.

NewDataEngineer ,

by redeploying the stack

That’s the point. With dynamic files you can add new Middleware or even route already exposed ports all on the fly. You’re telling me you can change a docker label and keep your service running with 0 downtime?

If you’ve figured that out please share a link because my experience has been otherwise.

Kangie ,

Close enough to 0 downtime that it doesn’t matter.

  1. Deploy updated stack file to existing stack
  2. existing services are updated
  3. Traefik polls the docker socket and notices updated labels
  4. ???
  5. Profit!

Seriously, you shouldn’t need to put anything (outside of rules that you want to re-use [e.g. http->https middleware]) in the traefik dynamic configuration because each container/service in a docker stack will bring with it its own configuration. Your only ‘dead time’ is how long it takes Traefik to pick up the new dynamic configuration via either the docker or swarm providers, which is configurable but I’ve never had to touch because, even on production systems, it’s been fine.

MeanEYE , to selfhosted in Is moving to IPv6 worth it?
@MeanEYE@lemmy.world avatar

Okay, so manu of these answers are just plain wrong. In short, you shouldn’t care as the biggest impact will be to network admins. They are the ones who have to configure routing and handle everything else that comes with new addresses. The rest of the world simply doesn’t know or notice whether they are using IPv4 or v6. Business as usual.

If the question is whether you should play with it at home. Sure thing if you have the desire to. It’s the future and only a matter of time before it becomes a reality. Said network admins and ISPs have been delaying the transition since they are the ones who have to work it out and putting your entire user base behind single IPv4 NAT is simpler than moving everything to IPv6.

From network admin perspective, yes it’s worth moving to IPv6 since network topology becomes far simpler with it. Fewer sub-networks, and routing rules to handle those. Less hardware to handle NAT and other stuff. Problem is, they made the bed for themselves and switching to IPv6 becomes harder the more you delay it. Number of users in past 10 years or so has skyrocketed. Easily quadrupled. We use to have home computers with dial-up. Easy enough, assign IP when you connect, release it on disconnect. Then broadband came and everyone is sitting online 100% of the time. Then mobile phones which are also online 100% of the time. Then smart devices, now cars and other devices start having public internet access, etc. As number of users increases, network admins keep adding complexity to their networks to handle them. If you don’t have public IP, just do traceroute and see how many internal network hops you have.
