I just checked and I installed Signal from F-Droid.

It says Repository: Guardian Project on the app page.

I bet they will still make it default.

I don't know to what extent they'll go, but yes, this and the Advanced Chat Privacy in WhatsApp are just user locking moves.

I am talking about Europe now:

we need trains. We need to unify the rail systems (rail width and electrical tensions) and the ticket systems. Europe could be easily served using a network of night train routes.

I think there should be way more political discourse about rail in the EU, but, for example in Italy, airports have been used as electoral campaigning devices.

Please notice I said real money. Of course they make some money from the tickets, but the highest number I could find is 60% of revenue, and you have to calculate that it is a hyper-regulated seasonal industry.

A Communist, such as I also can say I am, is not a tankie.

[–] biofaust@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

Thanks for the suggestion! Will try.

Ah yeah, the Cattocomunisti, as we call them in Italy. Too bad there is no such thing in the reality of the application of the Catholic doctrine.

My bet is on a bifrontal Opiate War.

We are waiting for the current one to say it. No one that should be hearing this cares about a former diplomat.

 

I am using VSCodium to develop a small data app.

I have installed the main Jupyter (ms-toolsai version, do not know if the luma version would be any different) and most of the accessory ones and I noticed that clicking on the icon to view a variable suggests to install a data viewer extension and refers to the Extension list with a "jupyterdataviewer" tag.

I read online that the Data Wrangler extension by Microsoft is not made available on OpenVSX and I was wondering if those of you who use VSCodium have found an alternative or if there is another, maybe even better way to view a dataframe while debugging.

Sorry for the maybe too basic question, but I am a beginner in programming in general, although willing to try to learn on a fully opensource stack.

How can they be tankies AND give a shit about what the Pope says?

The game is The Entropy Centre. Midnight Fight Express, which I have finished right before, doesn't seem to be affected.

Since 2 days ago the game (not Steam) started returning the error:

"A D3D11-compatible GPU (Feature Level 11.0, Shader Model 5.0) is required to run the engine."

I am on LMDE6.

Proton Hotfix or Experimental or 9.0-4 are not working.

Proton 8.0-5 is the first one that works, but with some significant lagging, but I am positive I played the same version of the game using Experimental a few days ago with no lagging and on same Nvidia drivers (535.216.01).

An FPS counter titled VK (I guess from Vulkan) shows when running 8.0, while it didn't in Experimental.

I have tried resetting the shader precaching in the settings, but nothing changes.

The game was also uninstalled and reinstalled, to no avail.

Any tips for debugging this?

It may be too much to ask but here it goes:

I have temporarily installed LMDE6 on an HDD where I had a bit of free space, worked with it, experienced Steam with Proton and now I am convinced: I want to move to Linux from Windows for good.

Have another disk, an SSD in which most of the space is taken up by the Windows C: partition. Would like to move Linux there after shrinking the Windows partition a bit more than what it currently occupies now.

I have tried to do this with Paragon on Windows, but after restarting no change can be seen, despite no error being presented. Tried from Linux with GParted but all attempts end up with an error when running ntfsresize.

So

  1. What do I use to do this and how do I do it safely? 2.How do I move the content of my current Linux partition (less than 50 GBs) to that disk keeping the bootloader and everything else working? And what filesystem is best to use?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Anyone here working on Figma Desktop in Linux? It is the one activity that keeps me from completely shifting to Linux from Windows since it is something I do when I work remotely.

Would something like Bottles help? Or are there even simpler ways that do not involve working from the browser or looking for alternatives?

Disclaimer: I am very new to Linux (1 week).

I have installed the Valve version of Steam on LMDE6. I have used Disks to automatically mount the NTFS drive I used with Windows (doesn't hold bootloader, it is just for Steam library storage) at boot ( /media/[username]/Gaming ) and I made it the default library folder in Steam.

Running games works perfectly (actually, performance is surprisingly good), but I cannot install them due to a "disk write error".

I looked for solutions and found this page, from which I understand that I need to change permissions to the mounting point, but when I do, using chown -R, I get a "Read-only filesystem" error for all files and folders.

I can see no options to fix this in Disks and I tried to edit fstab once, but it messed things up so badly I had to use the USB drive with the portable installer to fix things.

I mean, sure, it's not as population dense as the USA, or Mexico, but Canada is huge, your people are nice, you have some of the best entertainment companies on the planet (namely Cirque du Soleil and Pornhub), your natural resources and attractions are unbelievable and your actors are the best (especially the BSG/Chronicles of Riddick cast).

And yet, as an Italian with an international perspective (lived abroad for the last 16 years and visited the USA and South America repeatedly), I have been not "Canada-aware" for most of my life.

I get it that you are not boasting like your neighbors (and that alone makes you better than them imho), but how come that I was left to realize only today that the Manitoba flour I used to make pizza all my life takes its name from one of your provinces, while I know about all the shitty pizzas the US made up in a century.

Same thing goes for Latin American countries, even the ones I never visited, like Mexico or Argentina.

I shall visit soon and I hope you can take the chance to teach me more in the meanwhile.
