Only if you copy and paste to the same disk. When copy pasting to a different disk, as any consciousness transfer would entail, it is very much actually copied and actually removed (from the index).

How do you get banned from Reddit? I know mods can ban from their subreddits, but getting banned from the entire site?

Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft is starting to enable ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11 for all users. After testing these briefly with Windows Insiders earlier this month, Microsoft has started to distribute update KB5036980 to Windows 11 users this week, which includes “recommendations” for apps from the Microsoft Store in the Start menu....

Why would anyone pirate Windows and risk malware? You can download it for free straight from Microsoft, and you can just skip the product key step during installation, it works without a key just fine.

Very much in progress if you follow news on Starship. Actually going too fast in my opinion, I don’t think it’s safe enough.

dev_null ,

They definitely have their setbacks and delays. They sure keep trying though.

dev_null , (edited )

It sure is questionable, but so far each test got further than the last one, so while I wouldn’t be making any bets on it working, I’m not going to discount it either. People said the same thing about reusable rockets and now it’s no big deal. They might have a chance, as long as the president of SpaceX manages to keep Musk away from it.

The question was “what happened to that?”, and the answer is “it’s very actively happening”. Whether they actually succeed is a whole different question that I can’t answer, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

I was also confused what the European Space Agency has to do with this

Tons of comments and not one answering OP’s question. I would be interesting in knowing the official reasoning too, but nobody here is answering the question.

dev_null ,

So what I’m reading from your comment is:

  • They accept refunds even if you were already using the service for up to 30 days
  • They have support that will help you diagnose issues
  • They will give you a refund if they can’t solve your issue
  • They usually get back to you within 3 days
  • You are not locked in to their app and can use other ones if they work better for you

Thanks for the info, I should try them.

I run tor nodes. I use VPNs to bypass geoblocks, not for privacy.

What time is it in Melbourne?

“The Standard Time is 4:05. The time of day is equivalent to 14:15 in your location.”

Wasn’t that hard to solve. And it’s actually more precise, since it incorporates the changing times of sunrise and sundown.

dev_null ,

oh so now we’re right back around at time zones again, wonderful.

Pretty much. Shows how it wouldn’t actually help a lot. It’s making one thing simpler while making other things more complex. It’s interesting to think about new problems it would bring and how would they be dealt with. And how much worse the solutions would be than the current problems.

Also Dyson Sphere Program. They are all amazing factory games, but personally I like DSP the most when playing alone, and Satisfactory for multiplayer.

  1. They check the Windows version or whatever and the one reported by wine is compatible. It won’t actually work since it’s not actually running that version of Windows.

Easily find program name from context menu/without terminal?

I occasionally need to know the names of programs. I asked here about “Run as Administrator” being added to the context menu (like in Windows), and the response was basically “can’t be easily done”. an example is if I wish to edit a config file it cannot be done without accessing the terminal. Knowing the name...

dev_null ,

Running a text editor as root is useful if you are editing a system file.

dev_null ,

Obviously your way works fine, but I think a browser extension could make it 100% automatic.

dev_null ,

Thanks. I wanted to create a Lemmy account and this one seemed like the the most generic default one, huge user base, ran by the Lemmy devs, all right surely it’s the safest, most non-controversial choice.

Then I see stuff like this.

dev_null ,

Can you recommend a good alternative? Can be a paid one, but I can’t find anything good.

dev_null ,

Thank you, Ente looks great, I have to try it.

dev_null ,

Hmm, from the website it doesn’t look like it had a web app? Seeing my photos on my PC easily, and being able to share a gallery link to people is something I use.

dev_null ,

Crazy that you have to go to court over it (I assume this is for the US). Here in the UK the deposit has to be secured by a third party independent organisation. So you follow everything you said, but step 10 becomes “submit your evidence on a website” and the landlord has no power over the verdict. I had to do it once and the landlord immediately conceded without even sending them their version of the story.

Have fun in Groundhog Day

If it existed you’d never know. Unless you add an additional feature of preserving your characters memories across game loads. But then it’s not a common game feature.

dev_null ,

The monkey paw here is that you are loading the world state and that includes you and your memories. You would never remember using this ability. Maybe you already have it!

The comment was about never having to go to work on the morning. So yes you can leave, but then the you don’t avoid work in the morning.

I joined Lemmy.ml because it looked like the largest generalist instance plus apparently ran by Lemmy developers. Here you list it as a specialist one. Well, I couldn’t have known at the time. :D

dev_null ,

Your license thingy broke since that thread where you explained your script. It doesn’t spoiler anymore.

It’s funny how media widely misreported this, but what’s not funny is that people believe that to this day. Even in this thread people think Microsoft said that.

The quote is in the article:

Right now we’re releasing Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we’re all still working on Windows 10,

They obviously meant Windows 10 is the latest version of Windows, but I guess misconstruing the quote got the clicks and then everyone went along. There was never any announcement from Microsoft, all of the “Windows 10 is the final version of Windows” thing is based on misconstruing the quote. If a reporter really believed this interpretation to be the case, it would be easy to just ask Microsoft, but they didn’t. Or did, got the “lol no of course it’s not last” answer and ignored it because that would make their clickbait article go away.

dev_null ,

Of course it makes sense, the code does pretty much nothing. The point is that the tutorial does not teach you about how to remove a background. It’s like a “how to cook X” article that just tells you to “order X online” and that’s it.

dev_null ,

Yeah, I’m explaining the meme, not agreeing with it.

dev_null ,

the browser has the capabilities to differentiate devices

The browser can do it whether this exists or not. The only information the website gets is that the browser supports this feature or not, and nothing else.

dev_null ,

That’s a valid concern, but according to the article all the website can access is the random public key, or the fact that the feature is unsupported in this browser (for an unspecified reason).

I am in 25+ Discord servers for various topics/projects, and sure speaking to friends is one of them and we could migrate away, but that’s about 5% of my Discord usage. What am I supposed to do about all the others? I don’t have a choice in what platform a given thing has chosen to use. Sure I can just refuse to use it, but then I’m just cut off from the communities I’m part of, which is a much worse outcome.

So what’s the solution? “Just delete Discord, and with it half of your social life” doesn’t sound great. I would love for everyone to migrate away, but they aren’t.

dev_null ,

The paid subscription.

dev_null ,

All ears for your solution.

For every person laughing there are 4 people finding it cool, at least that’s what I saw in the MKBHD review.

Makes sense to me - most people in the real world aren’t terminally online, don’t know the Cybertruck exists, and have no idea it has anything to do with Elon Musk. So when seeing one they just have a “wow what an unusual car, that’s interesting” reaction.

Have you ever encountered a joke edit of a movie while sailing the high seas?

I have been thinking about the Cerveza Crista edit of Star Wars: A New Hope that sporadically splices in beer ads and the Toy Story 3 edit alternate ending where they fall into the incinerator and it made me wonder if people have come across these kind of joke versions, in full, in the wild....

dev_null ,

It wasn’t an edit of the movie. The beer company just paid the TV station to put the ad breaks at specific places of the movie, and for their ad to be the first ad of the ad break, allowing them to make it look like part of the movie. But it was still just an ad break, and other ads followed the beer ad.

I remember my school teachers telling us they don’t have kids because they have enough of kids in their job, which makes perfect sense for me.

By making it not install apps at all, even from them, it becomes the same as a toaster or microwave, for which nobody expects to be able to install third party apps because these are not devices that have a concept of “installing apps”. Now they can claim these devices also don’t have any concept of installing apps.

dev_null ,

Can it run apps as a separate package?

My guess is that their claim is that it now can’t.

dev_null ,

But you could freely rotate in new accounts. Now you have to wait a year.

dev_null ,

Or… siblings?

I assume the hard part here is the deployment of thousands of low orbit satellites at a rapid rate, not the imaging. The government surely already has the imaging tech, it’s getting a swarm of satellites up there what’s no other company has proven able to do.

Obviously new systems are unaffected, the question is how many industrial controllers checking oil pipeline flow levels or whatever were installed before the fix and never updated.

dev_null ,

How does it “certainly meet it”? There is no consensus mechanism in git, new blocks are not replicated across the network, there is no network at all, git works offline. You can replicate changes with remotes but there is no “git network” in any similar sense. And conflicts are definitely not resolved automatically. And the git hashes are certainly not cryptographic.

That’s 4 ways it doesn’t meet the definition. You could maybe stretch the meaning of a network to make it 3.

Epic has proven itself to not care for the rules and deliberately manipulate public opinion.

What relevance does that have? Apple should apply the same rules to everyone, even if they “don’t deserve it”.
