For the yellow one, I only see a yellow circle with no number.

Give me those headpats.

Yeah this is the next best option, but a secondary pihole is the best, so you still get the dns blocking while the first one is down.

You listed cloudflare now (1.1.1.1) but I prefer www.quad9.net for the privacy and security.

1984 , 5 months ago

I think we have worse problems in the world. :)

But I thought workers were their family, with ping pong tables and snacks everywhere?

1984 , 5 months ago

Looks absolutely terrific.

It’s easy to predict the future now. Imagine a boot stamping on a human face and you got it.

I wouldn’t buy thinkpads anymore… Recent models are not good quality. Mouse pad broke on my first one, and keyboard on the second one. This was ThinkPad Carbon 8 and T14 I believe.

They used to be great but no longer, even though notebookcheck keeps giving them top marks in reviews.

Samsung is full of Spyware and ads. Pixel, not sure.

But I would seriously consider Motorola since the Edge 30 is fantastic. Great battery time, no Spyware, everything just works.

I’m starting to think that samsung pays reviewers since they are always at the top, but are shitty phones.

Peel before shower?

Why do we care what Taylor Swift says…

1984 , 5 months ago

No, people. What makes her worth listening to?

She makes music. :)

I don’t get the celebrity thing I guess.

1984 , 5 months ago

Yep that’s how it works. The news and media talks a lot about some artist, so both the artist and the media companies make bank.

But im still surprised she just came out of nowhere like this.

1984 , 5 months ago

No :)

1984 , 5 months ago

Always bet on black. :)

1984 , 5 months ago

I love how it’s we when it’s convenient, otherwise it’s “you” . :)

1984 , 5 months ago

Land of the fee.

In Sweden there is no cost for this whatsoever. Most things are free or have tiny bills. I’m not saying it to make you feel worse, just pointing out that America is bordering on not being a civilized country anymore.

As a bonus, we don’t have any Musks here.

1984 , 5 months ago

I mean, who are we talking about? I admit I don’t follow news much but which Swedish guy is rich like Musk? I know we have wealthy bank families and so on of course, or Axfood etc.

1984 , 5 months ago

Yeah I know. It’s just such a contrast between how the country markets itself VS reality. We have almost exclusively American and British TV here and it really is quite a shock when you see what the country actually is.

But if there is a world war, we will appriciate support from the US of course. One thing they are awesome at is armies and weapons.

1984 , 5 months ago

Ah yes. But he didn’t succeed. :)

1984 , 5 months ago

I haven’t followed it but it’s hilarious to read about:

unions across Sweden banding together against the carmaker, blocking imports at ports and refusing to repair damaged Tesla chargers, among other actions.

Postal workers have stopped delivering mail to the company, including license plates. A local court of appeal also overturned Tesla’s attempts to have license plates directly delivered from the Swedish Transport Agency.

unions in Norway, Denmark, and Finland have now said they’re also ready to stop unloading cars from ships, according to the Financial Times.

No but the US has always been bad at guerilla warfare. Same in Vietnam. Whatever nomads the US are fighting at the time are using intelligence rather than raw military power, and it’s the only way to fight a more powerful force.

I don’t know what this is since I dont use windows, and it makes me happy.

1984 , 5 months ago

I think it’s because it’s two thirds of the area left of the tower (67%) and one third to the right (33%).

1984 , 5 months ago

Sounds like humans, so I guess it’s AI progress? :p

1984 , 5 months ago

For me it was Linux - > Done. :)

1984 , 5 months ago

It also matters what Linux distro you have. Some of them are horrible. I’m super happy with amd graphics on arch, and have no issues whatsoever, with probably 30 games in steam library that all works very well.

So I think it may be your system and what drivers you installed, or some other config.

I have a 6900 XT card, latest kernel, latest drivers. But I’ve had this graphics card since kernel 5.8 I think, with no issues.

Wow, look at that full screen ad behind the text… Lols.

1984 , 5 months ago

Because he is the same in all movies. :)

1984 , 5 months ago

Proxmox with latest Debian i guess, but all virtual machines are on Ubuntu 23.10. It’s just the easiest to install things on, and have a semi-recent kernel, even though I would never use it on the desktop.

I actually wanted to run arch in the vms but I couldn’t find any image with the latest arch. The latest I found was with kernel 6.3.

Google is spelled Kagi now. :)

1984 , 5 months ago

Oh shit, it’s 5 dollars? That’s like… A cup of coffee. You are right, way too much, so much money.

1984 , 5 months ago

You are a source. I am a source.

1984 , 5 months ago

Slippery slope guys. Soon we have tags like “windy” or “landscape” or “table”. :)

I think they did it because “let’s play along” but it’s still not a smart move. I guess they had to go along.

1984 , 5 months ago

Bush Sr is even more evil.

1984 , 5 months ago

Cheney is one of the most evil people on the planet. No PR plots are going to change that.

1984 , 5 months ago

The only way to get away from this is to use some kind of FOSS operating system

Been doing this for like 10 years now. It was easy to see the future of windows when windows 8 and 10 started sending user data to their cloud. Next step is always serving ads.

And people pay for Windows too. :)

It’s not too late to switch to Linux but you are very late if you haven’t done it.

1984 , 5 months ago

The thing is, people have been saying “you can turn off feature x” since at least 10 years now, and while that is true for a while, the operating system keeps getting shittier. There is no reason to keep using something like that unless you have to. :)

1984 , 5 months ago

I think it’s great. I think it’s impossible to use dolphin with single click since it goes into folders or starts files when clicking on them once.

Anyone knows the historic reason for single click? Plasma was inspired by some older system?

1984 , 5 months ago

Oh work. That other “family”.

1984 , 5 months ago

It’s a joke.

1984 , 5 months ago

Looks like my own used to look before. Just pure fun to try all of them because why not. :)

1984 , 5 months ago

Yeah I agree, that would be the best, but also slightly annoying. No more common shell history or web history and stuff like that.

I haven’t had any major breakage using both Gnome and Plasma myself. It works fine. But it’s annoying to see Gnome apps in the Plasma menus (when typing program names).

1984 , 5 months ago

Yeah I know. I use plasma icon themes, they seem to work much better in both Gnome and Plasma than using Gnome themes.

1984 , 5 months ago

Yeah but it’s a lot more things. Every thing I do in one account would have to replicated in another, pretty much. Becomes hard.

Even though using github and online storage makes things a lot easier.

1984 , 5 months ago

Here we go again… Point the finger at other countries while spying massively on the entire world.

1984 , 5 months ago

I don’t think GM has a single good car though.

I did a lot of research about cars and GM is never on any lists of great cars.

The point is that he got born and got to live with you for many years.

Don’t focus on the end, focus on all the great moments you had together.
