I thought it was just the Qt theme, but I could be wrong.

I'll give it a go! Is there a GTK theme that goes well with it?

We had some heavy rain yesterday and my bag (containing my T400) got soaked. I tried to turn it on just now, and it appeared to boot at first.

I entered my geli(8) password and FreeBSD began to load, then the screen and status LEDs began to flicker rapidly. I tried holding the power button, but for the first time it didn't do anything, so I removed the battery.

When I turned it back on again, it didn't even show the ThinkPad boot screen; it just sat there flickering.

I have opened the case up and looked inside. I hve checked the RAM, the CPU, the SSD: even the DVD drive; and everything seems fine, yet the problem still persists.

Does anyone have any idea what's wrong and how I can fix it? Or is my laptop now borked? Thanks!

 
 

I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones, which I have been using since 2022. Today, I was sitting on the bus when some random person connected to them and started playing Free Bird.

It was a bit funny, but I don't want this to become a regular thing. Is there a way of locking the headphones to certain Bluetooth addresses? Or a way of making it not show up automatically on phones (similar to a hidden WiFi network)?

The headphones in question are the JBL Tune 510, which have a USB-C port. However, I don't know if this can be used to flash firmware.

If there's already a comment telling me to "just use wired" or something, please don't tell me again. It's the best solution, but my phone doesn't have a headphone jack (fuck you, Apple).

Thanks!

I've been seeing a few posts lately that, while interesting and beautiful, are not weirdcore.

Since this community rarely has any activity, I've left a few of them up; but for ****'s sake, please post actual weirdcore art.

Just so everyone knows what to do, I'll flood the community with a few images from r/weirdcore.

Well, there are two main methods of package management in FreeBSD, which (according to people who seem to know their stuff) should not be mixed.

Packages are pre-compiled binaries, which are installed with either:

  • # pkg install <package>

    or

  • $ doas pkg install <package>

and can be found at FreshPorts.

Then there are ports. You have to enable this during installation. Essentially, it gives you a directory containing all of the available sources, known as the ports tree. You cd in and run the command, and it pulls in the code, compiles it, and installs. However, due to my ancient processor, I do not use ports and so have no idea what commands to actually run or even where to find the ports tree in the first place.

Remember to check the documentation!

According to TV Tropes:

His reputation was tarnished when he boasted about his penis size on social media, complete with him showing a picture of it on the official Cinemassacre subreddit, and deleted comments mentioning the incident, his mishandling of fan favorite Bootsy and Kyle Justin's departure from the site and censoring conversation about them, his antagonistic behavior towards fans who disagree with his opinions on both YouTube and Twitter (going so far as to demand that someone unfollow him for questioning his stance on Disney and superhero movies), publicly taking an antagonistic view towards save-states and rewind features in emulators that was criticized as gatekeeping, claiming the creators of Mortal Kombat modeled The Joker from Mortal Kombat 11 off his take on AVGN (which many saw as narcissistic), and his poorly made edgy webcomic The Loco Bandito coming to light (although he has since apologized for said comics).

Not as bad as I remembered, with my dodgy memory, but still not great.

I've done some research, and I think he's okay. Mike Matei has his own bullshit going on, but James has never said anything about his own political or social views, as far as I know.

Besides, he makes a point of ensuring that his content is as apolitical as possible, which is admirable.

Services I Use:

  • LibreX (search engine)
  • CloudTube (YouTube proxy)
  • PeerTube (federated YouTube alternative)
  • Tutanota (mail & calendar)
  • Organic Maps (maps app based around OpenStreetMap)
  • Cryptee (encrypted notes)
  • Matrix (chat)
  • LibreOffice + Collabora Office (office suite)
  • Kiwix (offline Wikipedia & other wikis)
  • NetNewsWire (RSS reader, for news)

Arms of the Fediverse I Use Regularly:

  • Mastodon
  • Pixelfed
  • Lemmy
  • PeerTube
  • WordPress

Dormant Arms of the Fediverse:

  • Friendica
  • Kbin
  • Funkwhale
  • WriteFreely

I have installed Linux on all four of my laptops, and I'm hoping to migrate from my iPhone to a Pixel with DivestOS as soon as I move out of my parents' house (I'm currently 17), or sooner if possible.

I have also swapped many web apps for desktop apps, and my music collection has been based around CDs and DRM-free files since it started in 2016. In addition, I still use DVDs, VHS tapes, and (to a lesser extent) good old-fashioned Torrents for my films and TV shows.

If the internet becomes altogether too bad, there's always Gemini. Making web apps is trickier, but entirely feasible.

I think there was also a federated social media site on Gemini, which could interact with Mastodon, but I can't find it.

  • We don't need all these damned computers in everything
  • Modern music sounds like crap
