Just to note, this doesn’t apply to the UK. Our trains are generally useless and expensive.

Tippon ,

Top Gear was around in the 70s?

;)

Tippon ,

That being said, I hate the formatting of most forums. Reddit and Lemmy’s comment nesting is excellent. It’s very easy to follow conversations.

You could set that up on a lot of forums, you just had to select threaded view in the settings 👍

Tippon ,

Does it give you a choice at startup, similar to the Grub menu, or do you have to do something to bring the option up?

Tippon ,

That looks really handy, thanks :)

I’ve just downloaded Fedora Kinoite to try with my Ventoy drive (I refer the KDE layout :) )

Tippon ,

Depending on what you’re doing, Krita is worth a look. I gave it a go for cropping and lightly editing some photos recently, and then tried their version of the clone stamp tool. It’s hidden under the brushes presets, but worked better than the Photoshop tool 👍

Tippon ,

This any good for you?

Here’s something that might blow your mind - watch a few episodes, then listen to Barracuda by Heart.

It’s not her :o

Tippon ,

If Nancy Wilson was the singer, yes. I was listening to the song recently and thought that Katey Sagal was singing it, especially when they sing the ‘Ooh, barracuda’ part.

Tippon ,

I can’t tell if that’s Jeff Goldblum or Rick Moranis, and it’s pickling my brain 🤯

Tippon ,

I never would have said that it was him 😱

Is there any significance to people using emojis that match their skin tone?

I’m asking because as a light-skinned male, I always use the standard Simpsons yellow. I don’t really see other light-skinned people using an emoji that matches their skin tone, but often do see people of color use them. Maybe white people don’t naturally realize a need to be explicit with emoji skin-tone or perhaps it’s...

Tippon ,

Emojis evolved from the smileys we had in the late 90s, which were mostly yellow, but could be in various colours, like red for the angry face. Those smileys evolved from the text versions like these :) or :D

Brilliant, thank you :)

Thank you :)

That sounds like a really good episode :)

Audio output jack does nothing, only bluetooth works (Windows 11)

Ever since I installed an SSD and fixed my monitor, all forms of audio stopped working in my computer except for bluetooth devices. I’ve tried everything you can find with searching “site:reddit.com” but I’ve found nothing helpful. Please help, I’ll try to answer any questions for more information.

Tippon ,

Try the obvious stuff first, in case you missed anything. It’s easy to do :)

Reboot the computer. Check that everything is plugged in properly, whether it’s your speakers or headset. Check that Windows is trying to use the correct device. It may have switched the default to your fixed monitor, especially as you get sound through it. Check the volume for your headset. Windows supports separate volume levels for different devices. Check the headset in the rear connectors on your computer. Check your headset with the cable on a known working device, like your phone. Boot to a live Linux distro and see if the sound works there. Turn the computer off completely, and make sure that you didn’t unplug the front panel connector when you installed the SSD.

These should give you a good idea of where the problem is, and let you rule out a few things. Obviously you don’t need to carry out the steps that would be redundant, so if your headset works with the rear ports, you don’t need to check it with your phone, for example.

Good luck :)

What is it about the text messages and emails sent by older people that make me feel like I'm having a stroke?

Maybe they're used to various shortcuts in their writing that they picked up before autocorrect became common, but these habits are too idiosyncratic for autocorrect to handle properly. However, that doesn't explain the emails I've had to decipher that were typed on desktop keyboards. Has anyone else younger than 45 or so felt similarly frustrated with geriatrics' messages?

Tippon ,

They’re supposed to be better at preventing RSI

Tippon ,

!

Tippon ,

I find that most sweeteners have the aftertaste, like Canderel and Sweetex, but Hermesetas taste fine. It might be worth trying a few brands and seeing if any work for you

Tippon ,

Be careful with MediaMonkey, it can incorrectly change your files.

I’ve got dozens, if not hundreds of songs where it’s changed the track number to the play count, and I’ve got a load where it’s decreased the volume by a significant amount, presumably as part of the volume leveling function.

I don’t use anything else to play or manage my music, and nothing has permission to affect it this way.

Tippon ,

the most recent version of GNOME has OneDrive support

Just to check, do you mean the Microsoft version of Onedrive, or the abraunegg Linux version?

Abraunegg’s version is brilliant, but the MS version would make my life easier :)

Tippon ,

A developer, Abraunegg, has made a Linux tool that syncs a Microsoft Onedrive account with a Linux system, in the same way that the Microsoft Onedrive tool does on Windows. They’ve named their tool Onedrive too.

I didn’t know if you were talking about Microsoft Onedrive compatibility in Gnome, or Abraunegg’s Onedrive. It gets a bit confusing when they both have the same name.

Tippon ,

Thanks :)

I take it that’s a third party client that syncs with MS Onedrive?

Tippon ,

That makes sense, thanks :)

Tippon ,

Ah, I know the one. I’ve used it for Google Drive in the past. I didn’t know it could do Onedrive too though.

Tippon ,

There are card providers like Curve who let you add multiple bank, credit, and store cards to one card, and select which one you want to use through an app. I don’t know whether you can use them through your phone separately though, as I only ever tried it through the Google Pay system.

Curve changed their terms a few years ago so that you can only have one payment card without paying a monthly fee though, so I haven’t used them for a while. On top of that, changing the selected card through the app was too slow for when I was in a queue and wanted to use a store card and then a payment card.

Tippon ,

I disagree. When I was a teenager, I loved Green Day, Nirvana, The Offspring, and The Sex Pistols. I went through a heavy phase in my early 20s.

While I still like those artists and songs, there are other bands and songs that I like more now. (The Rumjacks are a great band if anyone’s looking for something new).

The music I listened to when I was in my teens and early 20s will always be special to me, and shaped my tastes, but now that I’m in my 40s, my life is vastly different to how it was back then, and other songs speak to me more now than those songs do.

Tippon ,

Yeah, there’s no denying that it’s a fantastic album :)

Tippon ,

Holy crap, that’s not Green Day

That’s kind of the point ;)

Tippon ,

You might want to delete this, then reupload it after you’ve cropped your name out 👍

Tippon ,

I had it this week on my Mint laptop, with the bundled Firefox. I hadn’t used the laptop for a few weeks, so I knew it needed updates, but I needed to get something done straight away.

I opened something in a new tab, and it opened as the restart to update tab. As well as breaking my train of thought, it restarted without opening the new link, but also warned me that it wouldn’t reopen any private browsing tabs and another type of tab that I can’t remember.

However they justify it, that’s bad design.

Tippon ,

I didn’t say that it forced me to update. This set of replies is about apps that force close and don’t let you do anything.

My Firefox updated in the background, because that’s how I set my system up, but instead of letting me keep working and updating on the next app start, it forced me to stop what I was doing and update there and then, while telling me that it wouldn’t be restoring any private tabs that I had open.

As a contrast, I was also running Chrome. That also updated, but waited for an app close before completing the update. It didn’t interrupt me, and it didn’t lose any of my open tabs.

Firefox has it wrong in this case.

Tippon ,

Yes.

You’re lucky that you live close enough, or that you’re not popping in on your dinner break, or on your way between jobs, and don’t have time to nip home to pick up your ID.

Your lucky that you’re not elderly or disabled and struggling to get to the polling station at all, never mind having the opportunity to get there and back easily.

Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time?

I’m sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I’m sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I’m sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it’s been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one...

Tippon ,

Strongly disagree. I’m using SwiftKey, and the prediction has been awful for the last year or so. It constantly tries to force sentences on me and gives me multiple repeated words.

As an example, typing that last sentence, every time I started a word with ‘m’, it suggested ‘more’ and ‘more than’. If I long press and tell it not to suggest ‘more than’, then select ‘more’, the next suggested word is ‘than’.

I find that it often repeats the selected word too. Earlier I typed something like ‘I did it last year’ and the next suggestions were ‘year’ and ‘year ago’.

Microsoft have shoehorned a predictive AI into SwiftKey, and it doesn’t work properly.

Downloading/torrenting kids cartoons

Hey all. noob-ish pirate here. Skipping long winded post. I’m struggling to find sources to download/torrent kids cartoons. Some are easy, but I’m looking for paw patrol and it’s scarce on 1337. The more modern stuff and the super popular stuff are a little easier though. Not really any information on the Wiki about this...

Tippon ,

It’s more likely that the streaming setup is having the same problem as you - it can’t find a stream. It checks a load of torrents at once, but if there’s no torrent for what you’re looking for, it’s not going to find them either.

Tippon ,

Didn’t they get taken down recently?

Tippon ,

That’s good to know, thanks :)

Tippon ,

We do, yes :)

Tippon ,

man rain

That sounds like a completely different problem, with much worse cleanup 0.o

Tippon ,

It’s so much easier. I’ve got one password to remember, and I don’t have to think about any others :)

Tippon ,

I might be wrong, but I remember reading that they removed the objectionable content after the fuss that was kicked up.

Tippon ,

This is fricking

Awesome!

Tippon ,

Where does the training data come from to create indecent images of children?

Tippon ,

Thanks for the reply, it’s given me a good idea of what’s most likely happening :)

It’s a shame that the rest of the thread went to shit, but unfortunately it’s an emotional topic, and brings out emotional responses

Tippon ,

Thanks for the reply, that makes a lot of sense :)

Tippon ,

The Realme photo looks fake. You just don’t get that much light at night from a 30 second shot without a lot of post processing. You’d probably get blurry stars too, depending on your location.

It’s great if you want to take photos of your friends at night, but if you’re trying to get genuine photos of the stars, I wouldn’t trust it.

Tippon ,

Ask for a number 2 on the back and sides, and a number 6 or 7 on top. 6 is 19mm and 7 is 22mm, at least in the UK. I believe that these are standard lengths, but it might be worth double checking.

I got the information from this site:
