xycu,

The acronym GOAT has been around since well before those zoomers were born, probably before most of their parents were born, so don’t feel too embarrassed!

xycu,

I do it because I can… I read release notes on every update and once you’ve configured a kernel for a particular machine you really don’t need to touch the config, barring major changes like when PATA and SATA merged. Or of course if I’m adding a new piece of hardware.

I remove everything I don’t need and compiling the kernel only takes a couple minutes. I use Gentoo and approach everything on my system the same way - remove the things I don’t need to make it as minimal as possible.

Compiling your own kernel also makes it easier when you need to do a git bisect to determine when a bug was introduced to report it or try to fix it. I’ve also included kernel patches in my build years ago, but haven’t needed to do that in a long time.

I used to compile a custom kernel for my phone to enable modules/drivers that weren’t included by default by the maintainer.

It’s not about performance for me, it’s about control.

xycu,

When they say it’s “just a few bad apples” they always completely miss the point.

One bad apple can spoil the barrel.

xycu,

Tried Wayland about 5 years ago to see what all the hype was about, with Nvidia proprietary drivers, got a black screen. Could never get beyond that. Went back to xorg.

Tried about 3 or 4 years ago, with amdgpu drivers, no black screen this time but chrome would not work and a few other programs didn’t work right or at all. There may have been special builds or wrappers to work around some of those issues but I had no interest in dealing with that at the time, so I went back to xorg.

Have not felt motivated to try again as I haven’t had any issues with xorg. I’m using Nvidia drivers at the moment. I also heavily use turbovnc server with virtual gl and not sure how (or if) that’d work in combination with Wayland.

I haven’t had to even think about the fact I’m using xorg or screw around with the configuration in like 10 or 15 years. It just works, for me and my setup, anyway.

Cuban says he’d vote for Biden even if ‘he was being given last rites’ (thehill.com)

The billionaire also told the outlet that he plans to vote for former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley in the Texas GOP primary Tuesday as “a protest vote against Trump,” but that he would still support the current president versus the former one.

xycu,

Short answer is genocide of native people combined with racism against Black people.

Mixed-race marriage, neighborhoods and schools were illegal in the US, in some way or another, for over 300 years. The US Supreme Court did not rule it unconstitutional until 1967.

The US state of Alabama did not officially remove their laws against mixed-race marriage until year 2000.

Not spoofed, but a random MAC.

xycu,

Rooted yes, custom rom no (pixel 7). But on previous phones, custom rom once the manufacturers stops providing updates. Using Magisk, all my banking, Netflix, McDonald’s, etc still works because I have it hidden from those apps. Root apps I use are things like adaway, wireguard module (not using android vpn), sshfs, 3c toolbox, tasker. And generally having root shell access to do whatever I want to do.

xycu,

I’m using the EasySSHFS package from F-Droid. Similar to mounting on Linux, you must create a folder as the mount point. For example, on my phone I first manually made the folder called /storage/self/primary/mnt in a local root terminal in connectbot (create a connection, protocol local, type in “su” to become root, grant access when prompted, then type “mkdir /storage/self/primary/mnt” to create the directory)

In the EasySSHFS new connection setup, i out that path in the seventh field on the form. In the sixth field is the path on the remote server that you wish to mount, for example /home/khorak

In the other fields give the username and password (or key file)

The last field contains the mount options, I did not need to change them but you can if needed.

EasySSHFS needs to be allowed root access.

Once you mount, the folder created previously at /storage/self/primary/mnt will contain the contents of the remote server. In my case, using this path makes it appear like it is on the sdcard in android. I can watch videos using VLC or listen to mp3 songs etc as of they are local on my phone.

xycu,

I am in the US and street addresses are visible and searchable in Organic Maps for me. I don’t know if it depend on the area or something. https://programming.dev/pictrs/image/1340c6de-09e1-415c-9a78-7318cc33bfa3.png

xycu,

It seems to be affecting people who have multiple users at up on their device (this includes work profile, which runs as another user)

I’m on the January play system update but don’t use work profiles or multiple users and have been okay, so far… Fingers crossed

Gentle reminder to everyone that support for ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

  1. Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
  2. Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
  3. Try a beginner friendly distro like . It only takes about two months to acclimate.

xycu,

I have used Linux as my main for 20 years, but I have a dedicated windows computer for games (hooked to my TV in the living room). A lot of my steam games work in Linux nowadays, but the windows computer just works without fuss.

Ironically some older games (older win95/98/XP era games) work better in Linux under wine or emulation…

I have also used a windows vm with gpu pass-through to play games on my Linux machine, though I’m sure a lot of your anti cheat would probably not allow that. I don’t bother with that anymore since so many games work in Linux with proton.

For non-gaming use I feel that 99% of dual boot scenarios should probably just be virtual machines instead. I have a windows VM I fire up for proprietary software or work related stuff when necessary.

xycu,

Android retains emergency alerts for the lifetime of the phone, even after they’ve been viewed/dismissed. They can be seen in the settings app under emergency alert history.

xycu,

SSHFS is shipped by all major Linux distributions and has been in production use across a wide range of systems for many years. However, at present SSHFS does not have any active, regular contributors, and there are a number of known issues (see the bugtracker).

The current maintainer continues to apply pull requests and makes regular releases, but unfortunately has no capacity to do any development beyond addressing high-impact issues.

When reporting bugs, please understand that unless you are including a pull request or are reporting a critical issue, you will probably not get a response.

xycu,

Steam has a year in review thing, just log into the steam store and you should see it.

xycu,

I am not a statistician or professional survey monkey but AFAIK 300 responses would be like 5% margin of error which seems pretty normal for this kind of survey.

Sega "Gold Cartridge" in Master System

Hi, I’m looking for info on the compatibility of the “Gold Cartridge” with regards to the Master System. I was looking at one of these and it says on the box that it’s made for the Mark III and Master System. However, the form factor is different than other Master System cartridges, and it’s also nothing like a Sega...

xycu,

It’s a Japanese game compatible with the Japanese Master System or Mark III, which uses a different sized cartridge than the overseas SMS. The Japanese Sega SG-1000 used this same size cartridge, and the Japanese SMS/MKIII were backwards compatible with them.

The Samsung Gam-Boy (South Korean version of the Master System) also used the Japanese-style cartridges.

In Japan, they used the “Gold Cartridge” branding for first-party releases and “Silver Cartridge” for third-party releases.

The audio recording of him allegedly showing off classified docs and admitting he hadn’t declassified them took place in New Jersey.

xycu,

Small correction - MLK Jr would be 94 today. He was born in 1929.

xycu,

ThinkPads still have real mouse buttons, at least. And some who copy the ThinkPad, like HP Zbook.

xycu,

Island is great. My wife runs ecommerce and social media accounts for her job (and has her own side business at home) and used to use 2 phones, with Island she can run parallel sandboxed copies of certain apps at the same time (ebay etc). It’s the first thing she installs on a new phone and at this point she’d refuse a new phone if she couldn’t use Island on it. With the normal work profile, she’d have to constantly switch between profiles and miss out on real time notifications.

CNN Poll: Percentage of Republicans who think Biden's 2020 win was illegitimate ticks back up near 70% (edition.cnn.com)

The share of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who believe that President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was not legitimate has ticked back up, according to a new CNN poll fielded throughout July. All told, 69% of Republicans and Republican-leaners say Biden’s win was not legitimate, up from 63% earlier this...

xycu,

Maybe the mid west republicans are just 100% trumpers? It’s wild.

MAGA is basically like a religion out here. They avoid any information that contradicts their belief system and gravitate towards media that reaffirms it. The constant drumbeat of whataboutism coming from trump, fox news, AM radio, etc really has poisoned their brains. Support of trump, embrace of his lies, and hatred of his “enemies”, has become their entire identity.

xycu,

I’ve been using public restrooms for a long time and I don’t recall ever seeing anyone’s naughty bits.

I see you’ve never had the misfortune of using the circular trough-style urinal where everyone is facing each other and peeing into the middle. Thankfully, they are not very common.

xycu,

I still use my N900, basically just for ssh over wifi these days. It is so so so much better than typing on a virtual keyboard, especially in a terminal where I have keyboard shortcuts set up for home/end/pgup/pgdn/tab/etc. The original Nokia battery from 2009 is still live and kicking! The keyboard and slide form factor were great. Even the resistive touch screen, when used with the stylus, is very accurate.

xycu,

For me, these increasingly huge jackpot amounts just emphasize how unlikely you are to win.
