For a first timer Id recommend just complimenting the other person’s watch

Rogue ,

I suspect if this was enabled by default there would be uproar from people annoyed the distro was stealing their bandwidth, and if it were opt-in then very few people would do it.

Windows Update uses peer to peer to distribute updates. It’s one of the first things I always disabled.

Occasionally only one of my monitors will turn on, I end up having to unplug the power cable to kick the other in to life.

I’m using Debian, with an AMD 6700 XT graphics card, dual monitors via display port. I’ve just ended up accepting it as one of the quirks of the Linux experience.

Rogue ,

This is Visual Studio **Code ** which is a very different app to Visual Studio

Rogue ,

If you only shower once a month I don’t understand why I you’d need to wash the towel any more regularly?

Rogue ,

Dude… Maybe re read what you wrote and reflect on it?

There’s a cliche of Internet folk with poor hygiene and it’s something that should be addressed but it can be awkward for people to bring it up.

Rogue ,

It’s not just cultural in terms of nations it’s also dependent on the type of work. You’re going to be critical of a taxi driver stinking of BO when he sits in an air conditioned cab all day, but not somebody doing physical labour in the open air

Rogue ,

I’m not against criticism, certainly the number of downvotes suggests I phrased it poorly or should have kept my views to myself.

I tried to present my views in a neutral manner without accusation. I used the term reflect because as you state I have no idea of the user’s situation so it’s for them to reflect.

I used a separate paragraph for the reference to hygiene in order to make a distinction between what I did and did not know. What I had hoped to raise was the distinction between hygiene and just applying masking products. But I didn’t know how to communicate that without being more specific.

I apologise if I caused offense. None was intended. I’m some random person online, my views are my own, if I have caused offense I hope that can be easily dismissed as just another provocative voice online.

Rogue ,

I’m pretty sure the tournaments are just memorising lists. A man won the French competition without being able to speak French… He just memorised the accepted words.

Rogue ,

Semi colons wouldn’t be valid in file names so they’re ignored so there’s no reason to include hyphens either

Rogue ,

god has nothing to do with it

Rogue ,

I do understand - but as a society we’re working to remove unnecessary gendered terms from our language. I believe in doing similar with religious terms.

Language is important. If we’re thanking a deity for the work of government it’s both minimalising the work of elected representatives and exclusionary to other cultures.

Rogue ,

The fact your comment here is at -1 really underlines the immaturity of many users.

I can understand your previous comment getting downvoted because it was a little inflammatory, but your statement here is entirely factual with a neutral tone. So there’s really no reason to disagree with it, let alone pepper it with downvotes.

Rogue ,

Bills?! Bills?! How very dare you suggest that people require compensation for their work.

You’re in a Linux community here. Open Source development is about freedom. All work should be made freely available for users and corporations to enjoy as they wish without having to consider such frivolities of whether anyone should be compensated.

Rogue ,

People desperately trying to avoid snaps by any means possible?

Rogue ,

There is that one episode where they go into intense detail about how the Internet functions. They even show it!

Rogue ,

The fact she was on vacation is entirely irrelevant to the story. It’s inclusion is solely to lead the reader to think it was her primary residence.

Rogue ,

The newer FFNTs are way cooler though

Rogue ,

Dude. Calm down. You said something that people disagreed with, just accept that’s the case and move on.

We’ve all had people disagree with us, doubling, tripling, quadrupling down on it achieves nothing.

Rogue ,

it matter if you’re right

I obviously don’t care what people think

If you don’t care then why does it matter?

Rogue ,

Once you’ve got a clear mind you should re-read the comments you’re replying to. The only anger is your own, the only emotion is your own, the only ego is your own.

Everyone else is just toying with you for amusement. It’s like watching a dog snapping at its own tail. You know you should probably help the poor soul out but at the same time you kinda want to see what happens.

Rogue ,

Why would you assume that? That doesn’t seem a particularly logical conclusion?

Rogue ,

The cynic in me immediately thinks this is so Facebook can further connect your activity to sell

Rogue ,

Does it still revolve around building roads or can cities finally thrive with alternative transport?

Rogue ,

A whitelist defeats the decentralisation and openness of a defederated system.

I think you’re mistaken in your assumption it would be easy to identify malicious instances. Bots are notoriously difficult to fight, every time you block one method another workaround will appear.

Lemmy moderation is frustrating as hell

I’ve been posting in the meme communities in Lemmy for a few months now. For the most part, if I make some silly meme about how broke I am or how bad American healthcare is, it doesn’t get removed and the meme does well. But I’ve had several memes get removed that I was pretty sure don’t violate the rules of the instance...

Rogue ,

Have you considered that the issue could well be that the things you’re posting just aren’t particularly amusing?

Rogue ,

So, I take it your answer is no?

Rogue ,

You can only sit with people in your household. The others will need their own table

Rogue ,

I never found Joe Wilkinson particularly entertaining - that was until his appearance on Taskmaster which was simply sublime.

Rogue ,

Blocking the low quality content communities feels like an endless battle. I have been thinking for a while we need a centralised repository of links to block - similar to ad blocker lists.

Rogue ,

I might take a look at the API and see what endpoints are used to list and add to the blocklist. It may be a fairly simple tool to put together

Rogue ,

If it’s a tool and being used for a clear purpose why can’t the driver be Amish?

Rogue ,

It’s that really the case? That’s absurd. nobody looks like their license photo so I’m surprised the state doesn’t provide an exemption.

Rogue ,

Most of the Linux communities are the same.

often the content isn’t even related to Linux it’s just tirades of anger against corporations. Doesn’t even have to be Microsoft, any commercial that dares make any move in the Linux space - Canonical, red hat, oracle get derided too.

Rogue ,

Or on znls. It’s ridiculous

Rogue ,

Not to forget this is Lemmy which has a development leadership so left leaning that the CIA are likely already working on regime destabilisation

Rogue ,

I’ve been really impressed by pcloud too. I opted for the lifetime subscription through a black Friday deal - for triple replicated redundancy it’s an absolute steal.

Rogue ,

I thought this was quite an insightful graphic until I realised the terms backend and frontend were borrowed from the terms back of house and front of house.

Are there any green alternatives to asphalt in development?

Asphalt used on road surfaces are byproducts from fossil fuel. With the ultimate goal of eliminating the use of fossil fuel to combat climate change, are there any good alternatives for road surfaces? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a viable replacement of asphalt in the works, or even a plan to replace it in any...

Rogue ,

While it’s not a full replacement the raw materials making up the road surface can be reduced. Here’s an example where books were recycled into the road surface - news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/…/3330245.stm

Rogue ,

We really need a separate community for Microsoft news.

Adding “btw, does anyone of you know a good alternative for PowerPoint?” does not make this a Linux topic…

Rogue ,

Do you have a source for them encouraging genocide? That’s a pretty serious accusation to just throw out without citation.

Rogue ,

The push for increased piracy is well-intended but for rightsholders it represents a major drawback too;

I assume they meant to write privacy there because I can’t imagine enhanced piracy was intended

Rogue ,

That’s an interesting thought but I’m not sure I agree. Should runners use bike lanes? I’d say it’s more to do with the danger each transport poses.

A runner is very capable of avoiding people walking, and even if they were to collide the impact is minimal.

A cyclist is much less capable of dodging a pedestrian, hence why they don’t belong on a pavement. Same would apply to scooters.

Cars and large goods vehicles are a threat to cyclists due to the speed disparity.

Rogue ,

I can’t be the only one who misread the comma and thought the gynecologist was abusing hundreds of dead women?
