The new ones were garbage anyways. Mine is stuck at a polling rate of 10hz, and the acceleration is god awful

Oh onlyoffice works great! It’s spreadsheet function is far less buggy than excel and it’s smooth and snappy.

Ye the explanation I presented is something I say to simple minded people as a way for me to tell them that the act of wanting privacy isn’t criminal, and that it is wayyy creepier when some stranger is trying to actively breach said privacy.

I want to belive that this entire breach of privacy thing will form a sort of bubble that’ll burst and people will wake up and realize that “hey this is kinda creepy”, but this does seem to trend towards a dystopian cyberpunk future

I usually shut those “I have nothing to hide” arguments by asking the person what’s more creepy: you closing your curtains trying to get privacy, or your neighbor trying to peek in, asking you “why do you need curtains? You’ve got nothing to hide right?”

That usually gets the point across…

I love your username…

Guess which option will be set to off by users, which youtube will make the default to “on”, and then entirely remove the button when users adapt to turning it off.

If I recall correctly it’s for single sign on. Something something it making a secure session

Here’s the free oem app as an msix package as Microsoft removed the store link. link

(yes I did accidentally upload it to the wrong collection, but I don’t think I can change that)

Or in physics terms, potential energy.

1.5Tb data cap, jeez. I regularly push 6tb of monthly traffic by myself. This feels like mobile internet all over again, but now with wired…

Funnily enough noone noticed that anything was “out of the ordinary”. The event organizer, who isn’t techy, asked to use my pc so he could transfer some assets for display, sent them over, right clicked the photoshop files, and opened them in a cracked photoshop program i installed using wine. He then proceeded to add some finishing touches and export them as png files without noticing this pc wasn’t running windows.

The thing that caused the most hiccups wasn’t the os/software, but the hardware. The camera crew handed me some thunderbolt capture cards which didn’t work because my $300 laptop which I got for free didn’t support thunderbolt. We switched to some usb capture cards, and they worked perfectly without any configuring.

So I guess Linux has reached the title of It just works™️ (at least for this use case)

It’s time for nap time

Thx. It’s the title screen background from the Interea visual novel :3

Kubuntu

We had the display to ourselves, so we dug around in the settings of the scaler but couldn’t find anything that might set the resolution or aspect ratio. The goal was to keep this thing running for the show so we didn’t want to break anything by messing up the settings.

I wonder how that bug happens from a programming standpoint. Despite that bug, it didn’t crash or misbehave during the entire 2 day show, so I’m happy.

The native resolution of that thing was something along the lines of 1500x1000, but the scaler only accepted 1920x1080, and 1920x1200. Both resolutions had the same top and bottom bars so we assumed something got disconnected during transit, and we didn’t bother fixing it as all content was in 16:9 anyways.

For the pictures with hyfetch I just captured the display of the laptop in obs and forwarded it to the big screen as that was more convenient than fiddling with the terminal window on a screen I couldn’t see from laptop’s position.

We had a dress code so I had to wear pants, which is why I didn’t bother putting on some Linux socks. If you want to see the same laptop but with socks then here ya go
