Microsoft is testing Game Pass ads on the Windows 11 Settings homepage (www.ghacks.net)

Microsoft’s announcement: “We are introducing a new Game Pass recommendation card on the Settings homepage. The Game Pass recommendation card on Settings Homepage will be shown to you if you actively play games on your PC. As a reminder – the Settings homepage will be shown only on the Home and Pro editions of Windows 11...

tubbadu,

Look at the corner between the four “paragraphs”… WHY? Please Microsoft align them properly

tubbadu,

Why do you need a waterproof laptop? (I’m just curious)

tubbadu,

It’s funny: if the telemetry is opt-in, I’ll opt in, if it’s opt-out, I’ll opt out

tubbadu,

Is there some lore about this I don’t know?

tubbadu,

Other answer seems to suggest that the problem is that the same podcast can be available, depending on where and who is listening to it, with different length due to different ads injected into. Here’s my probably stupid and completely ignorant suggestion: instead of using timestamps for both begin and end of the ads segment, you could use a timestamp for the beginning, and an hash of the first part of “non-ads” segment. I’ll try to explain better:


<span style="color:#323232;">|----------------xxxxx--------------------|
</span><span style="color:#323232;">                ^     |___|
</span>

The xxx is the ads segment, the ^ is the timestamp of the beginning of the ads, the |___| is a small duration segment (for example, 0.5 seconds) right after the ads segment. The data of that segment is hashed and used as “end ads segment indicator”.

On the other device, with a different duration of the ads, you should start hashing it to find the corresponding segment.

Is this doable or did I just said a bunch of idiot things?

tubbadu,

If newpipe/tubular had the option to sync your piped or invidious account to sync the subscription and watch history automatically it would be by far the best.

An old, ugly bike and a good bike lock. No one will ever steal it and can bring you wherever you want without the fear of leaving it in the wrong spot

How to write a QML effect for KWin, KDE's window manager (blog.vladzahorodnii.com)

Since the dawn of the times, the only way to implement any effect that has fancy user interface used to be in C++. It would be rather an understatement to say that the C++ API is difficult to use or get it right so there are no glitches. On the other hand, it would be really nice to be able to implement dashboard-like effects...

tubbadu,

This… This is amazing! I can finally write an application switcher optimized for my touchscreen device! Thanks KDE devs!

The pacman effect

How responsive is your Nextcloud?

My Nextcloud has always been sluggish — navigating and interacting isn’t snappy/responsive, changing between apps is very slow, loading tasks is horrible, etc. I’m curious what the experience is like for other people. I’d also be curious to know how you have your Nextcloud set up (install method, server hardware, any...

tubbadu,

Now I just recommend Owncloud or seafile. They’re both really easy to install and just work out of the box.

Which one is lighter on your opinion?

tubbadu,

I use it but I really want a way to sync the subscriptions and watch history with my desktop client, and currently the only way (afaik) is to use piped or invidious

tubbadu,

I always see “this doesn’t work, why?” posts, it’s the first time I see a “this works, why?” post XD

tubbadu, (edited )

In Piedmontese (northern Italian dialect):

“To be mounted over squared ball bearing” = to be really strange, not as other people

“Horse brand” = a product of an unknown low quality brand

“To beat the goat” = throw a tantrum

tubbadu,

“esse montà 'n sle bije quadre”, and the literal translation in italian is “essere montato sulle biglie (cuscinetti a sfera) quadre”

tubbadu,

Sembra molto interessante! Supporta tag EXIF per la ricerca tra le immagini?

tubbadu,

Ho taggato tutte le mie foto con digikam, quindi ogni immagine ha dei tag “cani”, “viaggi” ecc, e quando voglio trovare una foto in particolare invece di dover scorrere tutte le immagini sperando di ricordarmi bene la data di quando è stata scattata, posso filtrare per tags e trovare la foto che cerco molto più velocemente. Purtroppo non ho ancora trovato una soluzione selfhosted che mi permetta una ricerca di questo tipo

tubbadu,

Grazie mille!

tubbadu,

Will this change something for italian pirates?

tubbadu,
