Thanks for actually answering and not just downvoting like some toxic fucks in here. It seems that not even Lemmy is immune from social media’s toxicity.
Sometimes people just assume that when someone asks a question that seems obvious to them, the person asking the question HAS to be a troll/bad person.
He has a transgender daughter, whom he still calls by her old, male name. Calling a trans person by their old name that they no longer use, is called deadnaming.
Oh boy. No he has a male to female transgender child, who he intentionally calls by their given name at birth, Also he really switched over to being conservative and anti-trans after said child came out to him. Usually parents go the other way, but he went the extreme hate direction and has seemingly said his child is dead to him.
I switched over to anydesk when TeamViewer started enshitifying itself, haven’t looked back it works great on all my devices, even my phone (as in I can control my PC from my phone I use it a ton)
Setup is super easy, just make sure to set up proper passwords for it, specially if you use public wifi
Maybe the Windows clients are paid now? But I use it currently for free on many Linux boxes. I haven’t logged into one of the Windows boxes like my mother’s office computer to fix something in a while.
I went to anydesk.com/en and got confused. I remeber (or maybe I just say so myself) years and years ago it stated obviously it’s free for personal use. Now it’s just generic site with links to download and not much info and obviously aimed at companies and their $$.
You can literally just download and use it, do you expect a free software not to have some sort of paid option in it’s site? All the paid stuff is for business use, if you’re just using it for yourself they don’t ask for payment info nor do they bother you to pay at any moment
It’s understandable they have paid version. It was always there. But the wording around was dayn and night different and that’s what confused me. I needed “teamviewer alternative” last month, went there confident I have a solution, but after a moment of looking at the new-to-me site I was honestly not sure whether I can use it or not. More reading didn’t really help in this regard, so I went with RustDesk instead. It did the job I needed and ia open source on top of it.
I would feel bad for Zayden, except that in an alternate timeline where his father was named Brad, Zayden would have been banned named Hunter. So it could be worse. I would rather be Zayden than Hunter.
Most Hunters I’ve met are pretty cool. Can’t say the same about Drew’s, Brock’s, or Clayton’s, but I feel like those are becoming more uncommon as I get older.
Depending on the DE you use on Nobara, use GNOME Disks or KDE Partitionmanager and just open that thing and look at it.
It may have several partitions you dont need anymore, and /home is separated, containing all your users.
In that case you could just delete the others and resize the home partition to fit the contents.
If you have a / partition, you can still remove the /boot and /boot/efi and maybe swap partition. Then resize the root partition to fill all the space.
You need to mount the disk in your filemanager and use admin:/ to open it with privileged access.
Open a terminal and navigate to /run/media/USERNAME/DRIVENAME
In there do sudo chown -R USERNAME *
Then after you broke everything an OS would need but that you want, move the stuff from the homes to your root folter from the GUI filemanager. Move, not copy.
Afterwards you may want to do some ext4 repair magic, as I dont know how well ext4 likes messing around with partitions.
I’m playing it via an emulator and it’s working nicely. I didn’t realise there was a mobile port. Though I can see how it would work well for the touchscreen pretty easily.
Having some sort of democratic non profit behind it like codeberg which seem to be doing really well (or like a cooperative bank), anyone can be a member as long as he pays fees that help projects for the instance (which could include paying bounties or freelancers for lemmy feature development). You would have a election where you vote for a board of directors or even just one “instance leader” or something like that and he or they decide what to fund or what mods to appoint or impeach. You could copy codeberg bylaws and it might actually work.
You could argue just letting basically average people elect management would lead to incompetent management (plato made the same arguments, your in good company), but this model has it advantages and seems to work well . The American Association for the Advancement of Science uses this model and created one of the most well regarded science journal in the world (science)
Man the whole theft of “woke” and the subsequent use of it as a form of slur should point to the answer.
Being Woke means that you are aware of systemic inequalities and biases. That’s it. The word originated as a term for that among the black community, specifically about systemic racism.
It did spread among other marginalized groups, because it is such a simple and powerful word for a giant concept. That concept applies to more than just racial issues because systematic bigotry is so fucking ingrained into the social structures of the world. And I mean world, not just “the west”. There are forms of bigotry and inequality everywhere. But it is essentially an English term, and is mostly a US term. The concept behind it is universal.
Yet again, racists and bigots stole something from black people amd turned it against them.
Make no mistake, anyone using the word Woke in a negative sense, as an insult towards something is 100% dog whistling their bigotry. They are absolutely racist, even if only by the appropriation of the word and using it against marginalized groups other than black people.
So, stay woke, people. Systemic bigotry exists, and you can become a target of it.
It's just like their previous theft of the term "bleeding heart". A person with the bleeding heart was someone who just cared so fucking much, and so they mocked bleeding heart liberals for caring so much that their hearts just bleeding away, wah wah way.
And used that term to justify the hardness of their own hearts and to somehow imply that it's manly to not have feelings.
Shattered is a little baroque for me. The original was rooted in simplicity, and I think Shattered, while trying to fix the few flaws of vanilla, goes too far in the other direction.
I watched Lost when it aired and Leftovers during the pandemic. I won’t post spoilers, but I think Lindelof has a unique brand of writing intentionally disappointing stories that’s not for me. Like most people, my partner and i didn’t like how Lost ended, but the internet would have me believe that we are the only people in the world who didn’t like Leftovers.
I like how the ride starts, I just don’t think he’s even trying to write an ending that satisfies all the questions he takes the time to ask.
That’s fair. Lost had trouble because they were building the track as they went. I still loved the ride though. For me, I don’t think every question needs an answer as long as what it creates feeds into the themes of the show. Like on Lost, I wish they never explained the Smoke Monster, it just wasn’t necessary.
With Leftovers, I’d say it’s ending is the perfect summation of the show and anything else would betray what it was going for.
spoilerIt’s a show about logic vs belief and that’s where it leaves us, do you believe Nora? What happened to the 2% ultimately doesn’t matter because the show is about how people deal with the unexplainable. There’s no satisfying answer to that mystery.
You’re not alone in not liking the ending though. I’ve had this conversation before and it’s totally ok not to.
I appreciate what he says he’s going for, which is that it’s a story about the characters, not the sci-fi/magic. If you’ve watched Tales from the Loop, I think it does a much better job at this. You always want to know more about the tech, but you’re never lead to believe that that’s what the story is about.
I would liken good story writing to a magic trick. The writer has to create a bunch of threads, and weave them together in such a way that are interesting, but just opaque enough that you can’t predict how they all tie together in the end. And once you reach the end, like a magic trick, your mind is blown at how well everything fits together.
But Lost and Leftovers feel like they’re keeping a bunch of threads going, only to drop 90% of them on the floor, tie two together, and say “it was never about those other threads”. And I feel like I’m still standing there like, “um…aren’t you going to guess my card?”
Lindelof thinks that’s his gimmick, but to me just feels like he’s just decided he’s not going to do the actual difficult part of story writing.
