That’s not entirely correct. While the US is without a doubt the biggest part of (and contributor to) NATO, it consists of a few other nations as well. But you are absolutely right that Europe needs to get their shit together because it is very likely that the US will scale down their NATO involvement

Are you sure your Facebook friends have posted anything at all lately? Most of my contacts have left Facebook long ago (so have I) but a lot of them never deleted their accounts.

I can almost taste the deafening sound of silence from the receiving end.

Just call it Ecmascript and be done with it. The name JavaScript was misleading from the beginning. Well, Ecma sounds like a skin disease but who cares.

They could be sentient without us knowing. But they live on a different time scale. Everything we do to them would happen very quickly in their perception. So don’t worry and bon appetit.

Same here. On the upside, "All“ on Lemmy has a much higher quality than what Reddit had in the past years. I really enjoy my daily doomscroll on Lemmy.

From the article: “It is unlikely the Department would ever pursue action against anyone using the Logan Act, given no one has been convicted of violating the 1799 law”

End of story.

Because you said that was not the point of the article and I asked you to clarify why you think it wasn’t. But never mind. This is going nowhere.

Why not? If the starting point of the article is that we can’t design interfaces based on our elitist 5 percenter knowledge then the remedy for that would be…?

I’m using a lepotato for Home Assistant. Works very well for months now, but I’m a bit worried about long term distro support

I wonder why user tests aren’t even mentioned once in the article. If you design an interface you have to test it with your audience

Did you know you can edit your posts? Could be helpful for other readers since you were incorrectly posting in several messages that wine needs root access.

Correct, but the problem here is that apple products are extremely closed up. If they choose not to provide updates any more that’s totally fine, but they should enable developers to install a different os instead of turning the devices to e-waste. There are some projects trying to make a Linux installation possible on iPads, but so far they have failed due to apple’s gatekeeping.

I have an iPad from 2012 which would still be perfectly usable if Apple hadn’t marked this iPad Generation as “obsolete”, and of course it would be a security risk to use it without updates. However, if I could install Linux on it, there would no need to throw it away.

The video’s title “worst car ever reviewed” was not as balanced though :D

This happened just this morning. Probably not the dumbest thing ever, and I blame Snap for putting things where they don’t belong: I deleted stuff from the /run/user/1000/doc directory. Turns out the files there are in fact hard links to files which actually reside somewhere else. Well, they were, until I deleted them forever.

Background: Firefox (as an Ubuntu snap package) downloads files in some kind of sandbox mode and references stuff there for some obscure reason. That was my weekly reminder to get rid of snap packages because snap sucks in a myriad of ways.

Nextcloud? As an enterprise grade solution? That’s just ridiculous, sorry.

Oh, I just updated manually and found the option “mark read on scroll”. That should fix it.

Thank you! Jerboa is by far my favorite Lemmy App. Good Work!

There are some media reports claiming that there was simply another unidentified participant in the conference call and they didn’t notice. 🤷

It’s a little bit worse than that in fact. “Programmiererinnen und Programmierer” or “Programmierer:innen” or “Programmierende”. And if you get it wrong you are not a grammar nazi but more of a regular nazi.

/s just in case
