Does your voice calling work ok in Firefox? My video calls start off ok but always seem to drop out after a short bit. I wonder if it’s Firefox or my 30 privacy and security extensions lol

It sucks, it doesn’t work properly in Firefox, so I have keep it open in a Chromium window too. This morning I saw new messages in my Chromium but not in Firefox until I reloaded the page. I wonder what other information it’s keeping from me.

Jack off first

I love KDE. It’s got easy to use power user features and is very robust.

Install it, don’t stress and have fun 😊

I switched someone recently (she installed mint instead of kubuntu that recommended) and soon after exclaimed that it’s just like windows. I think she assumed everything would be in a terminal lol, now she gaming in steam. Anyway you’ll probably find it more similar than different. The one big difference is that we don’t download and run software from the Internet, we have something like an app store where everything is vetted and trustworthy.

Possibly, but that’s a much smaller project being run by 1 guy. Linux has a lot more people and reviews involved.

Well it’s clear whose side God is on.

My first thought is that this was to make Linux palatable to western regulations, like how companies can’t use Kaspersky anymore. Stupid if I’m right because it’s not like the fsb is going to sneak spyware into Linux.

Edit: Linus commented on this and I was right: https://lemmy.world/comment/13034386

If it were me, I’d do a fresh minimal install of the same OS, boot to the livecd and then delete pretty much everything except for /etc and /boot. I’d then cp -ar all my files from the failing drive and then manually merge /etc back. I say manually merge because most things would get replaced by my old files, but I’d manually modfify my fstab to keep the new partition information and add my extra mounts after it. Maybe that’s just me though. You can also just dd and then resize partitions if necessary.

Google is not killing uBlock Origin. It’s changing how Chrome works. uBlock Origin will continue to work in my Firefox and other browsers.

When I go to Lemmy, I’m not logged in until I click on a post to read, what’s up with that? I used to stay logged in.

Eww extremely embarrassing that they used Windows.

FreeFileSync detects moves and changes quickly without rereading the whole file. The first time you sync it will read every file to hash them first, this takes a long time but subsequent syncs will be fast.

Nate is the man, he hangs out in the keebuser help matrix channel and is a fuckin boss!

Registry changes are too confusing for normal computer users. The year of the Windows desktop is a pipe dream held dearly by the utterly deranged.

Buy a refurb, they’re cheap and you’ll be able to find something you like. My current laptop is around 10 years old with 4G RAM and a friggin’ modem port and VGA!

I’ve got a theory on this: They have gay urges and therefor think everyone has them, so they believe that everyone needs to “choose to be straight” and it’s just weak sinners who are giving into their urges.

Also to grandparent: it’s allllllll projection with conservatives.

If you’re using wifi, you’re technically doing it right now!
