FIRMware is SOFTware (code) that contains the instructions to run HARDware. In most cases you would experience it, hardware is running an OS (Operating System) which manages all of the firmware ‘packages’. Many electronics, particularly more sophisticated, have firmware that is directly loaded onto the device which has a proprietary OS with limited to no graphical interface.

I am a layperson so if an expert can weigh in on my take I’d appreciate it!

As a a died in the wool Lithuanian through band through it gave me a warm feeling seeing this on Lemmy as the Lithuanian subs are not yet populated so this has been a glaring hole in my feed.

For anyone interested there is a winter version simply called ‘Barščiai’ which is also amazing.

Skanaus!

Hello,

I was trying to create a Lemmy community and keep getting the error ‘please match the requested format’ yet there is no example of what the correct format is. Google didn’t help much either. Is someone able to help me with the correct format please?

Someone shared this website on another post and I thought it was relevant : https://libreddit.hu/

This allows you to browse Reddit without giving it any traffic.

I would agree with you except the actual reviews look really suspicious. They come in blocks of 2-3 next to each other and they are all nonsense. And there’s a fair amount of them.

If this were a highly regarded, honest company I would give them the benefit of the doubt. Having seen numerous examples of their dishonesty in the past month I would say this is par for course.

Only the evidence I put in my comments, all of the recent 5 star reviews have no constructive information in them other than a few random words.

They look really suspicious and the FTC would be able to verify their authenticity.

I’m glad they’re not doing it there… the Apple Store has a bunch with nonsense one line sentences with no grammar or punctuation. One of them even references a different app.

Reddit has started posting purchased 5 star reviews on Apple Store, wouldn’t be surprised if they were doing on Android as well. This is illegal and you can voice your dissatisfaction with the FTC at the provided link.

Haha, thank you!

Lesson learned: if it’s times out while posting check before trying again.

[-] Andojus@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I apologize for the duplicate posts, I was given an error message and timed out when initially submitting. Sorry!

[-] Andojus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I kept getting an error message the post could not be made!

[-] Andojus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Does anyone know why I’m unable to submit a new post to this sub? I’ve tried both from the wefwef safari and chrome web apps and it keeps timing out.

Basically what the title says. I know many users here are trying to avoid giving Reddit any traffic and I saw how grateful everyone was on another post where this was done.

A sticky making this a rule would be amazing!

I second this, it gives the impression that you’re setting out on a journey when you enter the fediverse which seems appropriate.

[-] Andojus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I second this one. Even though it’s fairly close to Lemmings, it does roll of the tongue and is unique enough from any other title.
