A phone number is not a factor of security, doesn’t matter how much every scummy data harvesting company tries to gaslight you into thinking it is, it fundamentally can never be.

Hey come on now that’s not fair, at least the games are way more expensive and you have a fraction of the selection to choose from

Louisiana chemical plant threatens to shut down if EPA emissions deadline isn't relaxed (apnews.com)

A synthetic rubber manufacturer accused of increasing the cancer risk for the nearby majority-Black community in Louisiana told a federal appeals court it will have to shut down “likely permanently” if it’s forced to meet the Biden administration’s deadline to reduce emissions....

I have the og NFS MW running via bottles. It wouldn’t install via isos so I installed it on a spare windows machine from isos and copied the folder over. Took a little fiddling to get the bottles profile into the right state but it is possible :)

Ahh the old depression adhd combo, a classic

Sort of. There’s one coming up in 2038 where the number overflows a signed 32 bit integer. Anything using 32 bits for timestamps is going to get a wee bit confused.

This should be the last time that happens though as a 64 bit signed int can carry us to something like the year 290 billion

“It is not even wrong” - Wolfgang Pauli

What reading style do you consider more tedious to read, A) short, concise, and precise, but using non-layperson vocabulary, B) using layperson vocabulary, but it's longer, drawn out, and not precise?

I’ve seen a lot of people on here be teased for difficulty expressing themselves. Either people complain “you’re using big person words to describe mundane things” when they’re aiming for precision or “woah, we don’t need that damn wall of text” when they’re aiming for clarity. It’s like people just want to...

You did not answer their question. They asked for Watts, not Watt hours. Average car batteries have a CCA in the range of 500 to 1000 Amps at 12V, so you could reasonably have 12kW in there :D

Honestly if they could standardise the format the way monitors are named is S tier. All the major important specs right in the name, super easy to compare or find what you’re looking for

[Solved!] Looking for a way to speed up audio on a website that REALLY doesn't want users to speed up audio...

Marking as solved! The solution is a tad cumbersome (can’t directly control in-browser), but it comes with a bonus I didn’t even think to ask for (mp3 files that I can save to my phone and listen to in the car!)....

HeckGazer ,

Is it viable to just download the audio files and listen to them in any local player? It might be easiest to just try pointing yt-dlp at it first and seeing if it can find it on its own. It’s usually pretty good at that. If that doesn’t work you could try to inspect the source of the player yourself and see if it has a link somewhere in it that looks like “https://<nonsense>.atitesting.com/<nonsense>.mp3”

Is there any love for BAR (Beyond All Reason-FOSS RTS) on Lemmy?

I just finally got into this game and I’m completely shell shocked! I had seen it recommended before but ventured into other games without giving it a fair shake. As an avid RTS fan since Dune: The battle for Arrakis on Sega genesis, I’ve been slowly feeling more and more lackluster in the genres future prospects. I was a...

HeckGazer ,

Hell yeah, love BAR. The discord group slowly started falling apart as we all fell out of love with SC2 but we’re back to regular matches every night now that they’ve been getting converted to it.

I am more of an AoE or SC2 style RTS player, as opposed to the Supreme Commander/Planetary Annihilation/BAR style but BAR really just makes RTS feel so good it doesn’t matter.

Proton VPN on Linux looks very different from Windows. How do you select one of their P2P options for faster torrenting?

Pretty much what the title says. I noticed that ProtonVPN Linux has an EXTREMELY limited interface compared to their program on Windows. I also do not appear to have the option to bind qBittorrent to ProtonVPN the same way that I did with MullvadVPN. Has anybody experienced ProtonVPN on Linux and successfully used it for...

Interesting, I’ve only ever used the ovpn files and they recently broke the same way you describe. Redownloaded them and it started working again with the same credentials.

I’m guessing they broke something servers idea and the client had a hard time refreshing its config

What Would You Like To See Improved in GNU/Linux?

Hey guys, I’m just an ordinary dev looking for something to work on. While messing around with my hobby projects, I couldn’t help but notice that under the surface, there are a lot of places that the libre desktop can be improved. I’d like to take on your suggestions on what I should seriously consider working on and...

Seconding a desire for a defacto RDP solution for Linux. Bonus points if it works on android

The Problem you describe applies to reddit also, however the solution on lemmy is in your question.

If a community gets scuttled on reddit, where are you going to go? How do you make the transition smooth enough that you’ll retain most of the community. You’re pretty up shit creek in this scenario.

On lemmy if the main community is scuttled, there are already 5 new communities set up, with the same UX/app/login creds. The members can transition easily and carry on being wonderfully niche.

Yes technically the owners of the instance “have all the control”, but it’s in the same way that a friend lending you their car “has all the control”. If they’re a dick or need it back you can just ask someone else. As opposed to reddit which is more like welfare, if the government decides to kick you off, you’re shit out of luck

HeckGazer ,

Just a thought, does the path to the games on your OS drive have a space anywhere in it? I remember a lot of old Windows games would throw a shit fit if they had a space anywhere

You only think it fits with how it’s read in English because that’s how you grew up saying it so it sounds natural to you. Your experience is not universal, and is in fact, a minority.

Go to a hospital and get it treated. I assume this is some third world health care bait though, as it’s missing which country the hypothetical is happening in

Wh is a unit of energy, Ah is a unit of electric charge, basically how many physical electrons passed by.

The voltage of a battery goes down gradually as it is discharged, so getting an accurate value for total energy dissipated is very complicated, as this varies greatly with the discharge profile and other physical factors like the age/health of the battery.

The one thing that stays constant is the amount of electric charge a battery can provide. If it’s old, the voltage of that charge will be lower and go down quicker, but it will be the same total charge.

I agree from a consumer point of view, joules would be a friendlier unit, however it is also a lot easier to game. Electric charge is a much more definite unit in an electrical engineering sense.

If any of what I said is confusing please ask me to clarify, I’m assuming a basic level of electronic literacy but it’s hard to know what knowledge I’m taking for granted as an ex electrical engineer.

Don’t let yourself be gaslit by anti right to repair and apple propaganda. We had a smartphone with removable battery and headphone jack that you could swim with, it has been done. The water resistance argument does not hold water, at all.

If 'carbon negative' and 'carbon positive' are terms used interchangeably to mean completely opposite things, what are alternative terms that clarify the difference without confusion?

For example, could alternative terms like “carbon reducing” and “carbon increasing” make it more clear and avoid misinterpreting which means which?

HeckGazer ,

Ngl I’ve never heard anyone ever refer to “carbon negative” as “carbon positive” in my entire life until today.
