Don’t think the Enterprise-C was at Wolf 359.

At what age and how do you tell children about the truth of Christmas?

I’m writing this as someone who has mostly lived in the US and Canada. Personally, I find the whole “lying to children about Christmas” thing just a bit weird (no judgment on those who enjoy this aspect of the holiday). But because it’s completely normalized in our culture, this is something many people have to deal...

ThatHermanoGuy ,

You teach it as young as you can. Teach them to laugh at the pathetic, hate-mongering Christians and their silly traditions that make no sense. Encourage them to tell their peers the truth at school as well.

Are there any Open Source apps for finding and deleting duplicate files?

Hi Android Community, I previously used “DFCleaner” which was a free, ad-supported app that searched specified folders for duplicate files and let you preview and delete anything that it found. This app now bothers me with a consent form for ad tracking so I’ve ditched it in protest. Are there any open source alternatives...

ThatHermanoGuy ,

With fdupes

ThatHermanoGuy ,

Why haven’t people learned yet to simply never click a link in an email? Even if it’s not malicious, it’s still trying to track you.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

Netguard firewall. I wouldn’t run Android without it protecting my privacy from connecting to invasive domains.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

LinkSheet is another great option for this purpose. It emulates the previous Android app-picker UI. It supports filtering URL tracking parameters, redirecting to Invidious and other privacy-respecting alternatives. Very handy.

They still haven’t solved the problem of a Gnome Shell crash taking down my entire session with it. I need to be able to restart the shell independently of the Wayland compositor for me to switch.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

I’ll never forget the first time I heard it.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

What?

ThatHermanoGuy ,

Is that supposed to be the name of a person?

ThatHermanoGuy ,

Ignoring it like every year?

ThatHermanoGuy ,

Okay, but what about the Pixel 8? That’s what we really want to know.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

You see, people don’t have to identify as atheist to in fact be atheist. Anyone who lacks belief in a god, for any reason (or lack thereof), is an atheist whether they want to admit it or not.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

rclone added support for Proton Drive very recently. I haven’t tried it yet, but am interested to see how well it works.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

Why do you want a GUI app in a docker container? I tried that with Wine and it had to pluck so many holes in the container to run on Xorg that it made it effectively useless.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

The whole notion of a “Jewish state” is theocratic, thus it should be eliminated. There is literally no reason for it to exist. It’s controlled by right-wing religious extremists who only care about spreading their silly, little fairy tale as much as possible instead of letting it die out like it is elsewhere.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

They need an explicit law because many of the perpetrators of this crime are immigrants, and it should be grounds for immediate and permanent deportation.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

As opposed to what? I’ve tried to switch to DDG so many times, but its lack of explicit phrase searching makes it practically useless. I just end up using g! all the time until I finally just give up and switch back.

Python extension

ThatHermanoGuy ,

You’re the second person to say this and it’s just wrong. With the Ultimate Edition, you can install the plugins for whichever languages you want and stick to a single editor without switching.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

We don’t want something decent to come from the Catholic Church, though. It’s the fact that they are so backwards and hateful that is causing them to lose adherents like crazy. This is what needs to continue. Making moves like accepting women and LGBTQ people only helps them stay alive even longer.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

There are very few electric cars available used, which severely limits my options if I want to be responsible with an automobile purchase.

Why waste your time with this when Firefox exists?

Meta wants to charge EU users $14 a month if they don't agree to personalized ads on Facebook and Instagram (www.businessinsider.com)

Meta wants to charge EU users $14 a month if they don’t agree to personalized ads on Facebook and Instagram::Meta is considering offering ad-free versions of Facebook and Instagram for $14 a month – but only in Europe.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

I hope that also includes WhatsApp. Europeans are addicted to that shit.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

Don’t care, ship it now!

ThatHermanoGuy ,

Just use .C++

ThatHermanoGuy ,

It always was.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

No it’s not, Unity is a separate project that Ubuntu retired, but fans have kept it alive.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

Honestly, why do they care at this point? Do they really think someone’s going to buy an upgrade to Windows 11?

ThatHermanoGuy ,

I’m a huge Expanse fan, but come on. Compared to the Enterprise, the Roci shouldn’t even be hauling garbage, it should be taken away as garbage!

ThatHermanoGuy ,

Too bad she doesn’t get security updates anymore.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

What? Statnews.com isn’t a model news source with integrity? I’m shocked!

Does Linux even work properly on Dell XPS laptops?

the more i am delving into things, the dell documentations are saying that the two really aren’t compatible except for like an outdated version of ubuntu… I never even thought about this, but looking back in time, I’ve tried many distros and the all have had some sort of internal issues that I couldn’t figure out and had...

ThatHermanoGuy ,

I have two XPS laptops that run the latest Ubuntu Linux flawlessly. Hell, that’s why I bought them. They are literally sold with Linux preinstalled, why wouldn’t they work?

I even get BIOS/firmware updates in GNOME Software!

ThatHermanoGuy ,

If comes from fwupd which I believe is installed by default on Ubuntu. The manufacturer needs to support it, of course. To get Linux preinstalled, you have to buy one of their “developer editions.” They make them almost impossible to find on their website, but they’re buried there somewhere.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

Damn, you work way too much. How do you even have time to post on Lemmy?

I shower around 0.5-0.75 times/day.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

Trek doesn’t have enough bearded aliens.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

Just when I thought I couldn’t admire him more…

ThatHermanoGuy ,

That is no longer necessary with Dynamic State Partitioning. Every top level domain is automatically given its own container, essentially. The extension is really only useful for logging into sites on two accounts simultaneously.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

Wait, that can happen?

ThatHermanoGuy ,

Create a villain capable of defeating Data.

I hate how everything requires you to download a shitty proprietary data harvesting app nowadays when everything can be done just fine without an app.

I have recently started a new position and am required to use an app that has three Facebook trackers, one of them being a Facebook location tracker according to Exodus App Privacy in order to get your food when it would literally work perfectly fine ordering to a real cashier or shit even a website rather than having to...

ThatHermanoGuy ,

It really makes me sad more of these services haven’t embraced PWAs. Being able to run your app protected by uBlock origin is truly the best of both worlds.

Seriously, though. How often do you think of the Roman Empire?

I know this is a joke/meme, but I sincerely think of the Roman Empire a surprising amount of times. I find myself obsessing over how Roman citizens were living just as complex lives as we are today, or about Marcus Aurelius’ life and philosophy, or about how the Republic fell and became a totalitarian state.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

Never—I’m too busy thinking about the Spanish Inquisition.

Yelp names and shames businesses paying for 5-star reviews (arstechnica.com)

Yelp has started publicly naming and shaming businesses that pay for reviews. The review site's new index documents businesses offering everything from a crisp $100 bill for leaving the best review to a $400 Home Depot gift card for a five-star review. It also lists every business whose reviews have ever been suspected of...

ThatHermanoGuy ,

lol, like anyone would ever trust Yelp again. How are they even still in business?

ThatHermanoGuy ,

No, the one with the longer commute should be taxed extra to account for all the damage caused to the environment, increased traffic, road wear and tear, etc.

Commuting should never be encouraged. Live where you work.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

This is a very frustrating limitation of every PWA implementation I’ve seen. They need to respect the default browser setting for external links!

ThatHermanoGuy ,

What is a carport? The cars themselves start at less than $40k.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

Looks interesting, but I’d be too afraid of the service going under in the future.

ThatHermanoGuy ,

Ugh, I hate this question so much!
