me_ow , to linux in Any open source host solution for private users?

I’ve been using infomaniak for a while which suits my needs pretty well. It’s mostly intended for businesses but it’s very usable as an individual. Lots of storage for a decent price too and has all the functions you mentioned. Hosted in Switzerland.

LEDZeppelin , to technology in Linus Tech Tips uploaded a video showing how to block ads on Youtube. Which was removed by Youtube for community guidelines violations.

He should totally upload it to HornPUB

Aatube ,

I heard the legends of the Chinese anthem being at PornHub and took a look a while ago. It turns out that they've removed all videos from unverified users and blocked them from uploading.

tacosplease ,

And they block access from a number of states due to stupid id laws

SapphironZA , to linux in How can we make Linux more appealing as "just works"?

I think it should be: “Software that is yours”

Overall, I think more focus should be put on consolidating similar projects.

Do we really need 6 different window managers that follow the same design logic?

Do we really need each major distro to have its own package manager?

How many image and PDF viewers do we need? How many music players?

Can we convince Ubuntu that no one wants snaps and they are wasting developer resources.

The freed up capacity should be focused on better windows app compatibility. Something akin to Valve’s push in gaming.

LeFantome ,

While I understand the sentiment, we have to understand that Open Source developers work on projects that motivate them.

So, we can have a single example of each of these but they do necessarily get any more devs. In fact, if you take economic theory ( competition for example ), it is likely they attract less attention individually than they do competing as part of an ecosystem.

It would certainly help on the user acceptance and commercial software side where choice is an impediment. But, if we are just talking resources, limiting the number of projects only works if you pay people to work on them.

Why was each of these projects started ( eg. window managers )? The answer is simple. It is because the founding developer did not like any of the existing options.

monobot , to linux in How can we make Linux more appealing as "just works"?

It is very hard, time consuming and boring to iron out those finishing issues in any software product. You need team of people being paid for that.

When doing it for fun, I just go until it works and until it is fun. As soon as I come to those last 20% I never touch it anymore.

So ai doubt it will happen until more companies start paying decelopera to do it. But I don’t see the business model in that, so I doubt it will get better fast.

chiliedogg , to technology in Bots are running rampant. How do we stop them from ruining Lemmy?

To help fight bot disinformation, I think there needs to be an international treaty that requires all AI models/bots to disclose themselves as AI when prompted using a set keyphrase in every language, and that API access to the model be contingent on paying regain tests of the phrase (to keep bad actors from simply filtering out that phrase in their requests to the API).

It wouldn’t stop the nation-state level bad actors, but it would help prevent people without access to their own private LLMs from being able to use them as effectively for disinformation.

Considering you can run LLMs on off the shlwf hardware, thats going to be as enforcable as piracy is…

nooneescapesthelaw , to asklemmy in Is The United State Fighting A Proxy War?

Watr in Ukraine is proxy war

The reality is that NATO and the United States, are now, without question, in a proxy war with Russia," former CIA director and US defense secretary Leon Panetta told the ABC.

"Maybe it’s not a direct war, but it certainly is a proxy war, in terms of their efforts to make Putin pay a price.

It’s quite easy after you learn engineering-level math. It would still require some paper and patience, but it’s not hard.

Only something around 5% of the people go there, but it’s a matter of going there, not being a genius.

Isn’t it 0? They are giving you the value of x so it’s a constant and not a variable.

possiblylinux127 ,

It is a partial derivative. Apparently you haven’t taken Calc III. I figured that would be basic math for most people. It is a shock to me that a person studying to be a nurse doesn’t need a degree in math.

themusicman ,

To answer your question without being a dickhead: The given x indicates the point on the curve you need to find the slope at. In other words, find the derivative and then evaluate that function at the given x.

It’s been nearly 35 years since I did uni level calc and I’ve not really used in the the years since - fucked if I could figure it out without a lot of <insert search engine of choice> foo these days

CutekittyAlexa ,

You could just write it into an advanced calculator and then copy the answer. Ain’t that bad

rusticus , to asklemmy in Is The United State Fighting A Proxy War?

Dude, Russia IS the enemy. If you let Ukraine fall, the Baltic states and Poland are next. Russia ADMITTED as much. And China looks at Taiwan. Do you not understand the idea of democracy and deterrence?

I’ve had more than one place tell me “we only take reservations through the app” when calling. It’s not for lack of effort, for many.

brbposting ,

Dang.

In the case of a restaurant who hasn’t had a table sit empty in years, going app only is probably an easy sell. Solid little labor and hassle reducer.

Sigh…

magiccupcake , to nostupidquestions in Why are doctors so hands off and unhelpful in the USA?

I’ve only tangentially heard about this, but another issue is that doctors in the US don’t have to, and aren’t encouraged to keep up with recent research.

Combine that with a medical education system that hasn’t changed drastically in 70 years to keep up with that new research and most US doctors are just out of date.

Lemmeenym ,

There is some variation by state but in the US almost all licensed medical professionals are required to participate in continuing education to keep their license.
