And now* nvidia launched Nova, instead of contributing to Nuveau for some reason. It’s like they want to take wind out of Nouveau.

Open Source Genetic Database Shuts Down to Protect Users From 'Authoritarian Governments' in c/[email protected]

Yeah, so it might fetch a slightly higher price. What does have to do with protecting the people potentially exposed by this project?

Fungus might be beyond him. Canada Bug is my bet. Or maybe Canada Germ.

Very well put. I’d also add that the Pantanal is one of the most biologically diverse areas on that planet, with several endemic species.

Sort of. Lemmy apps can integrate adding the prefix automatically and auto redirecting to the current instance (they already do the second part).

Linux is too hard in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (13 children)

I don’t agree with the full stop. Eliminating nuance is rarely good. Most tasks an IT professional will execute will be done several times a month, so memorizing the tar command options might be useful if that’s something they do all the time. But demanding that a person is proficient with the CLI as a way to prove familiarity with how things work under the hood is just fallacious.

I coded in vim and we built our own makefiles to deploy our code into our proprietary microcontroller. We also used JTAG to connect gdb with the microcontroller, and not even the guy that coded the JTAG interface would be able to write JTAG commands by hand.

They’re basically describing a good GUI.

It’s okay to have a preference. In my. 20+ years with Linux, I’ve coded with and for it, did low level embedded development with it, used it at home for school and entertainment, used for amateur photography, even managed a small server for a startup.

I still would rather use a GUI, because I have not specialized in most of the tasks. It’s less powerful, but it’s just more intuitive. It’s less portable between DEs, but it’s easier. And if your only doing that once in a blue moon, it’s more than enough.

I love the hide seen messages button on my general feeds. But it’s missing from when I’m browsing a single community. Would be really cool if it was there too.

How can you tell if the phone you're buying is unlocked? (mander.xyz)
 

Basically no sellers I’ve seen whether their Pixels can have their boot loader unlocked. So how did you get yours and how can I avoid getting a lemon?

Feature request: search text on open post (mander.xyz)
 

Voyager implement all searches that lemmy exposes, but this one is something else. When in a browser with a post loaded, I can search the post and its comments for any text with the browser “search this page” feature.

I wanted a text search on Voyager in a similar fashion, i.e. client side full text search on what’s on screen at the moment.

Mint mobile auto unlock? (mander.xyz)
 

Mint has a really good deal on Pixels now. They say that their phone auto- unlocks after 60 days. Anybody have experience with those? Is the bootloader locked? If so, does it unlock after 60 days?

Small frame phone, privacy respecting (mander.xyz)
 

I need to change phones. It seems the holy grail of privacy on phones is GrapheneOS, but it only works on pixels, which are huge compared to my already awkward iPhone 13 mini (5.2 x 2.5 in / 132 x 64 mm).

Is there any phone out there that is fast, small, and easily supports a privacy OS?

Thanks!

Which Pixel to get? (mander.xyz)
 

My current phone (iPhone 13 mini) is telling me to retire it, and I want to get into Graphene. I really dislike that my phone sometimes will just hang while I’m swipe typing and don’t want to buy a new one that has these latency issues. I also don’t want to spend a ton of money.

I was looking at the Pixel 8a which is being sold for $500. Anyone else use it with Graphene? Do you use a swipe keyboard? Any responsiveness issues?

What about storage? Coming from Apple, I can see my current phone using about 64GB with OS + apps. Anyone recently made the transition and can tell me if I can expect this number to grow or shrink?

Thanks a bunch!
