Yes but then you’d need NATO’s approval. Remember how Erdogan put all sorts of 'but’s to Finland and Sweden, countries with way more wealth (and more arguments to be included in NATO) than one like mine

Not true, there’s also we poor countries who can’t afford hanging around with the nice guys in the block

You just answered yourself. Just call it CUNAFHC - Collaborative Union of Not-Absolute-Fuck-Head-Countries

Friendly self-reminder to never open the comment section on Phoronix ever again.

I’m “stuck” with an Apple Thunderbold Display. Can’t deny it’s great, sturdy, integrated mic, camera, usb ports and ethernet are actually a great thing to have and everything in it looks great despite it being “old” - but I have a super annoying issue where at like 70% of the times I turn on the computer the display won’t turn on - I have to restart the PC with the REISUB thing, then turn it on, then press f9/f10 like wanting to go to the boot/bios screen, then turn the PC off, then turn it on again - it’s until that time the display turns on. All I just know about this is that this is most probably due to the Titan Ridge driver in the Thunderbolt adapter my PC has, an HP Elitedesk 800 g4.

So I was looking forward to this and, if they ever have success/luck and I have money, potentially getting a Mac Mini M4 new/second hand to replace the PC. But maybe I should be looking forward to another monitor brand that offers the same features and quality.

But after that they “were contacted by people who were investigating the case” or something like that and retracted.

I remember reading investigators on the case saying that it was indeed pre-recorded. Plus there’s the fact that this happened in two different TV networks within few hours where they showed the same video - only that in the first incident their engineers were around, understood what was happening and managed to overpower the pirate’s signal before the recording ended.

My parents are almost completely technological-illiterate (i.e. due to old age my father doesn’t even have a cellphone nor knows how to use it, and my mother barely can know how to do calls in her phone - both of them don’t know how to use a computer) but they know they don’t know about stuff - so hearing stories like that kind of make me be thankful they’re like that and that they will hear me when needing some advice or need to do something involving something tech-y

You know, besides the funny/cute/interesting videos that made it to its home page that I save to show them to my mother, the only other reason I haven’t deleted Reddit yet is the r/forhire sub.

Of course, not a Linkedin alternative per se, but it seems to me there have been people that has found full time jobs thanks to that sub. I’ve had the chance to get some small gigs and earn some extra bucks working for great people (and being scammed by awful people in other “similar” subs, but that’s another story).

I was bummed when I got here and found out there are some similar communities here but with almost no subscriptors and no posts whatsoever.

Honest question, what use has data transfer graphs?

More advanced forms of timocracy, where power derives entirely from wealth with no regard for social or civic responsibility, may shift in their form and become a plutocracy where the wealthy rule.

Yikes

I got a Logitech MX Mouse Master 3s. Not sure if it can fit into what you want or need because I’m no gamer (like, not even minesweeper) but it has more than 5 buttons.

I set it up with logiops so you could customize its buttons - for example I set up one of its buttons to open KDE Plasma’s overview.

Good mouse overall though the bottom cavity where the wheel resides can get dirty so I have to open it like every couple of months to clean it.

Falkon, because it’s fully integrated to KDE. Though I wish an actual Qt web browser running Gecko (or Servo, maybe one day) existed.

I mean, not that there have been tons of successive civilizations around here, so… And yet if that was the case, you’ll need to take in account that oral lore may have had a hand in the names of places, so it’s mostly improbable that a place has had completely different names with each civilization.

(Edit: people downvoting/replying to this thinking I was talking just about the USA is hilarious - reddit syndrome much?)

In my third world country the real issue is about costs. At this very moment cooking with gas is cheaper than cooking with electric.

The gas provider company mandates an inspection on every home gas apppliance and the installation every 5 years to check for good connections and correct ventilation (if a home does not pass the checks the service is suspended), so I guess at least it diminishes the risks to some degree.

But still since gas is going to be a lot expensive in the following weeks, maybe the tables will turn. But then you’ll need to get an electric stove.

I really wish we could actually “rename” places as their original indigenous names across all America(s). For example my country had an internal turmoil just to keep the original name of its capital city because we love our native people, and yet we keep the incredibly stupid name of “Land of Colon” (imho most probably the most stupid name of any country, ever) because fuck our native people.

I still remember when c/android@lemmy.world scolded me for saying K-9 and Thunderbird were two different apps.

My father was a farmer for pretty much all of his life (since he could work until he couldn’t) and had a crop of cilantro at one time. I never knew nor heard about somebody saying that cilantro tastes like soap, never even imagined it was a thing. It was only until a few years ago when I started to get my nose into Reddit when I read about people saying that.

You can’t just throw money and devs at it and expect the problem to be solved.

Then nobody will throw money at any project at all, because everything eventually will be solved by “magick”.

Destinating more resources to that quickens and makes better that process, though, incentivating people to work on it and test it.
