Listen lads, lasses and lassless, I got a long day ahead of me, having to upgrade pict-rs, postgres and lemmy, so there might be some intermittent downtimes. You know how it is around here…not professionally at all....
At a hospital again. I woke up to stinky meat next to me. They told me they don’t have vegan food. They’re very ostensibly rude about this. Had to listen to a long tirade from the room"mate" about how carnism is natural....
I am sorry to hear that your dietary choices are not being respected by the hospital staff.
What country are you in? I would have assumed hospitals in most developed countries should be able to cater to different dietary needs. What would they do if someone had a sever allergic reaction to certain ingredients? Tell them to just starve?
I don’t have anything helpful to say. Hope you get better soon.
I don’t think that’s something that needs to be fixed. Your phone (and probably your computer) can randomize its MAC address every time it connects to a new WiFi to make it harder to track you.
After five months since the last patch and almost two years since the 0.2.0 release, version 0.3.0 of the minimalist Wayland tiler river has dropped last week....
I think the biggest difference is dynamic (river) vs manual tiling (sway). Other than that, I feel sway is much more mature and there’s a proper community surrounding it that had written scripts and tools that work with sway. Many of which you are probably gonna use with river as well (swaylock, swaybg, swayidle).
One thing that’s pretty cool about river (at least in theory) is that the tiling algorithm is not part of the compositor itself. Instead, you can run any river tiling program and have that part be completely custom if you wish. Also configuration is done via commands instead of a config language (you usually run a bash script at start).
From what I remember, the vision of Isaac Freund (main developer) is, that river will become more of a tiling compositor base, that others can then use to create their own distributions. I heard that in some talk he gave. You should be able to find that on YouTube.
However, there’s still a long way to go.
In it’s current state, river reminds me of spectrwm. Very simple, with some cool, but ultimately non-essential, ideas that you probably won’t find anywhere else.
I’ve been an IT professional for 20 years now, but I’ve mainly dealt with Windows. I’ve worked with Linux servers through out the years, but never had Linux as a daily driver.

While you make many valid points, I think it’s not reasonable to assume that OP could have avoided all the struggles they had, if they just had informed himself prior to installing. Especially since many of them problems described were probably caused by an unfortunate combination of software/driver issues, a specific hardware setup and certain user expectations.
I doubt that watching tech YouTubers or similar would have helped much.
That programming as a career means you’re going to spend writing nice, clean code 80% of the time.
It’s rather debugging code or tooling problems 50% of the time, talking to other people (whether necessary or not) about 35% of the time and the rest may be spent on actually spending time doing the thing you actually enjoy.
The ease of buying a quality laptop without having to worry about if it will run well with my OS.
I’ve been using MacOS for about 8 years at work and I never really taken to it. It’s fine and I can do my work but I won’t use it if I hadn’t to (unless the only alternative was Windows). But one thing I really like about Macs is that you can buy one and you won’t have any headaches with battery life, software compatibility etc. You get decent hardware (let’s ignore the whole 8GB on an M3 = 16GB on other machine debacle) and know that it will work decently well with 3rd party software/hardware and if something breaks you can just bring into an Apple store.
While there are dedicated Linux sellers (System76, Tuxedo Computeres, Starlabs), I’m hesitant to spend 2k on a computer just to find out that the build quality is subpar, the battery life sucks or that customer support will just ignore my requests (read some bad experiences on the Starlabs subreddit).
It’s great to see that Pipewire has reached this milestone. Personally I’ve been using it since 0.3.35 for very basic audio needs and it’s been a very smooth transition. After installation I never had to tinker with it anymore. “It just works”^TM^
A fart is an ephemeral, gaseous configuration of molecules as they pass through a specific orifice in a specific direction. In short, a fart is not the gas itself.
I’ve been vegan for 12 years and my position on this has changed somewhat over the years. Although, that’s mostly philosophical and doesn’t really affect my actions.
I agree that our moral consideration should be based on the subjective experience of a being rather, instead of which biological category they belong to.
This is why nowadays I believe that the consumption of an organism from the animal kingdom, that can be reasonably considered not an individual, is not a matter of moral good or bad. I think certain bivalves like scallops or oysters don’t have brains. Therefore it would be reasonable to assume they don’t have an individual experience that would be affected by killing/harvesting them.
For me veganism is about respecting the desires of a non-human individual to not feel harm, not have their body exploited, their children taken away, and not have their life taken from them. It is about treating animals as individuals, not commodities. I don’t care about biological taxonomy.
If that does not make me vegan, I don’t mind. I will still call myself vegan in everyday situation for two reasons:
it is important to show representation, especially if you don’t “look like a vegan”. I’m just a (arguably) normal person who doesn’t want to exploit someone who doesn’t want to be exploited.
my actions won’t dilute the definition of veganism in non-vegans’ eyes. What I mean is, that I don’t eat bivalves (salty goo sounds pretty gross) or wear animal products and therefore won’t be caught in a “gotcha” moment by non-vegans who may or may not care about why I think it’s okay to eat some animals but not others.
So to (not) answer your question: at the end of the day it’s up to you if you want to call yourself a vegan or not. If you don’t fully align with the moral views that are held by most ethical vegans but still eat a vegan diet, maybe go with the term plant-based. If you think your views won’t really be subject of discussion or scrutiny in your everyday life and you mostly agree with a vegan worldview, call yourself vegan for the sake of simplicity and representation. If none of those answers feel right, don’t call yourself either and explain your dietary choices every time you eat in a social situation without using the words “vegan” or “plant-based” :D
Would anyone who downvoted this mind explaining why? I think the content is more nuanced than the somewhat inflammatory title may imply. I’m genuinely curious about understanding other opinions :)
Pretty sure most of you already know this but for those who don’t: you have two clipboards in Linux. One is the traditional clipboard where you copy with control c and paste with control v. The other one is when you highlight text and use the mouse middle click to paste text....
How do middle-click-to-paste and middle-click-to-scroll conflict? In Firefox I can click-to-paste if the cursor is over an input field and click-to-scroll anywhere else. Never had any problem with this behavior.
Why wait a few years and not avoid it completely? I doubt there’s any reliable data that confirms a significant loss in sales if they launched without Denuvo and its ilk. DRM is at best useless and at worst “harms” customers.

You should technically be able to run the exe with proton (assuming, you’re talking about Windows games). Maybe Steam does some extra work like setting certain environment variables (see github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton#runtime-config-op… for a list).
looks like rendering adblockers extensions obsolete with manifest-v3 was not enough so now they try to implement DRM into the browser giving the ability to any website to refuse traffic to you if you don’t run a complaint browser ( cough…firefox )...

I regularly use OSM data through Organic Maps (mostly for larger European cities). The app is really polished and is a joy to use. So far I’m not missing any features from Google Maps.
I’ve also updated some faulty business hours for some restaurants so I guess I’ve contributed back.
E: With the recent developments in the world of free online services (YouTube blocking ad-blockers, Google lying to their customers about its TrueView ads, Twitter rate limiting free access, the Reddit API fiasco), I wonder how much longer we can take free services like Google Maps for granted. Having an open alternative may become even more important in the future.

I feel the same way. I'm actually surprised how easy it was too break my Reddit habit and transition over here. So far the communities I've joined seem to have a more pleasant crowd than on Reddit. We'll see how long that lasts 😂
