phdepressed , to asklemmy in Books - Do you prefer Paperback or Hardcover?

Paperback. I’ve sometimes waited for paperback versions of books after their initial hardcover release. Cheaper, lighter, same reading, I used to be less patient so would suck it up and get the hardcover, nowadays I don’t read as much so waiting is easier. I read a lot when traveling and hardcovers are just such a pain. The only “nice” collection I have is LOTR+hobbit.

I’m trying out an eReader soon but I’m not sure I’ll be able to get away from the desire of physically turning pages.

Not only C, I’ve had experiences with real time applications in Angular and React pushing like 100 updates a second and it’s really easy to fuck something up that will trigger change detection and subsequent calls to death and create a scenario like that.

How often is something is simplified with reactivity? Who though the web needs reactivity? When I go to the steam page of a game there’s no more than one thing which needs to react to my action. When I hover over a game a new div should appear and nothing else needs to react to it. I clearly don’t get it

It depends on the type of application and size. For your typical business app / backoffice with tons of fields on the same page and real time data reactivity makes sense, otherwise it doesn’t.

POTOOOOOOOO , to asklemmy in Be honest: have you ever lost your temper with a customer service rep? And did it ever help?

Nope. I know it’s a person on the other end that’s probably confused and figuring stuff out to the best of the ability. I try not to get upset because I’ve been there.

My Pixel 6 still works

MajorMajormajormajor , to asklemmy in [Serious] Best Pee Strat

Definitely don’t do the first option, it’s important to not have a too full bladder for too long, and to go to the bathroom regularly. Best option would be to start hydrating today, and continue to hydrate well into tomorrow. The goal should be to have a light yellow urine colour. If you are concerned about not being able to pee during the moment, drink a small water bottle (375 mL or approximately 13 US fluid ounces) a hour before you need to give the sample, and you should be good to go.

I played flight simulator once and it ran like shit on Linux and kept crashing. This is when I still had a windows boot partition so I tried playing the game in windows and it still ran like shit and kept crashing.

Audiobook > ebook > paperback > hardcover.

I listen to audiobooks way more often than reading. I can keep listening to the same book while driving or exercising or doing whatever around the house.

Paperback over hardcover if I’m going to have a physical book because it’s less expensive and more space and weight efficient.

cevn , to linux in How bad is Ubuntu?

I used Ubuntu for 10 ish years before moving to Fedora. I switched because the Kde packages were seemingly years out of date with no idea of when the new versions would hit the Apt repos.

Seems like a lot of Ubuntu packages are old compared to Fedora since I’ve experienced way fewer bugs now adays.

Snaps were bad but I never was forced to use them, had it purged and disabled the whole time.

Completely off topic, but: I’ve been trying Fedora (KDE spin) for a few months now, and I’m flabbergasted at how unusable the distro version (not the Flatpak) of Firefox is. I think it’s a codec issue as I’ve checked Firefox is running in wayland mode, but:

  • video calls (Zoom, Slack) don’t work.
  • despite installing every codec I could find through Fedy, a package manager for non-free Fedora repos.

Meanwhile, the Microsoft Edge flatpak works flawlessly.

Are you using a flatpak browser too? If not, how did you get your browser to work?

I really like Fedora otherwise: up-to-date kernel and modern (very efficiently stored) packages, but properly tested with major releases, btrfs and systemd by default and commonality with RHEL is useful at work.

But these codec issues are pushing me back to Arch…

cevn ,

I remember some video sites not loading and having to load a non free codec. Other than that I am using librewolf which works but havent tried teams calls and such.

ganymede ,

yet to use any OS where the default firefox install was good for too much, other than using it to install a clean firefox directly from mozilla

F04118F ,

Distro version of Firefox worked wonderfully for me on EndeavourOS (Arch repo / Wayland / Sway) and Pop!_OS 22.04 (Ubuntu base / X11 / GNOME)

Also electron. Because somehow a full blown separate FF instance is more ram efficient than electron.

Well, Electron uses Chrome, so yes

I look at sales. steamdb, isthereanydeal etc. And if something stands out, I look for details.

That’s why I preallocate the max memory I will need just like I was taught to do in Fortran. You can’t leak what you don’t have.

Heap allocation failure > gradual memory leak

@Max_P@lemmy.max-p.me avatar

Google is the only one implementing the full spec for bootloader relocking with custom keys, so as far as I’m concerned they’re the only viable manufacturer now (RIP OnePlus, you used to be good).

The default UX on most phones just plain outright sucks. I keep hearing Samsung is better, IMO modern OneUI sucks just as much as TouchWiz sucked. Everyone tries to differentiate themselves by how much bloatware they load up on the phone so customers go wow it’s got so many features! Lately they’re all in on the AI fad as well, and subscriptions, and their own store.

Been a custom ROM user forever, and I have no intention of letting go of that. My phone is almost 5 years old now, and it still runs better than the out of the box experience of any phones on display at the stores. Raw hardware performance is utterly useless if the stock OS immediately wastes it all and some more.

So I’m not excited about the Pixels but they’re also the only viable option.

RippleEffect ,

Do wallet/banking apps still work on a custom rom?

Do you lose out on anything?

zelnix ,

Wallet no. For banking apps it depends on the app. For me about 80 percent work

Imperor , to youshouldknow in YSK that you can run your own Twitch alternative with Owncast.
@Imperor@lemmy.world avatar

I stream on twitch. Can you multi stream and mirror chat from owncast to twitch and vice versa?

gamermanh ,
@gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I don’t see why multi streaming shouldn’t be possible using whatever you already use, you’ll just have to set one of the streams up as a custom location as I don’t think even OBS has own cast built into its options

And if there isn’t a bot already capable of mirroring chat I bet it’d be piss easy to make, though I’m not saying you should, more that “if there’s interest it’ll happen” kinda thing

ozoned OP ,

There are numerous folks that dual stream, I don’t know how folks do that. But I have some friends in Owncast that are in Matrix as well that could tell you. Ety (Owncast: ety.cybre.stream) does exactly that.
