I was referencing the orange wave in Quebec in 2011. They may not form gov't but with enough members they do influence change for the better. I never said they formed a gov't

And I can’t remember when to use further and farther. Sorry if I butcher your language.

Fear not, even native speakers get confused. Simple rule: Further is figurative, farther is literal

I'd be all for YouTubeAI.com with only AI content there, then I can stop blocking that 1 asian dude with 500000 channels

Is there a revolt against self checkouts that I missed?

Since I first saw em, I refused to use em. Pay workers or pay me to check myself out.

We know they switch between right/left depending on leader and what they think will win them the election. The cons go crazy right, the NDP needs help, hopefully Avi will lift them to the spotlight though sadly the only time the NDP really excels is when the population gets sick of the liberal bullshit (for a sitting then forget why the elected the NDP and go right back)

Brainless job, for me anyway, hehe. Security supervisor, just directing people to where they need to go, making sure the company doesn't try to take advantage of my guards. Also just play vr/stream and play other pc and retro games and hope no issues come up

Then I will be a criminal, again. If "they" implement the on OS ID, even if we are exempt from the identifying info on our systems (linux), there won't be anywhere to really visit online anymore and as I said (here? another thread?) once my pixel 6 is dead I will be going the dumb phone route. No google play, no QR scanning, so I guess no more browsing except for the few non compliant sites. Will IRC networks need to comply? That would be my last stop (00s) before going back to the 80s where I read books, went outside, and didn't worry about anything outside my little child world though it is hard not knowing what is going on in the world, tried it a few times. Hell, after my kinda "smart" tv dies (it doesn't require an internet connection, has not been connected since I got it) I don't know that I will find one of them that doesn't require internet connection just to play a video off my pc. I saw shit going south 3 decades ago, never thought it would get so bad in my life

I got burnt out and took a job that is not tech.

It used to be fun to trouble shoot issues, help people understand, on their terms, what the pc was doing and why. Then it got old cause everything started turning to crap, starting with vista (spent a week regressing ~30 laptops from vista to XP cause I didn't want the headache of dealing with that brand new operating system). I used to build and wire, by hand, networks. I could whip out a cable in about 2 mins, from cut to crimp, and then set the Dell and/or Cisco routers/switches. I just couldn't keep doing it and keep my sanity

 

(I hope this is an appropriate place for this, if not plz remove and maybe let me know where is appropriate, thanks)

Absolutely love this guys take on life as a trucker in donalds US. In this video he is talking about the collapse, impending collapse?, of the supply chain. While he sits around at a truck stop after he should have had a delivery

 

I used to use linux decades ago, then stopped for multiple reasons. Now, with win 10 eol fast approaching, I have installed Kubuntu 24.04.2 mainly for VR gaming but other gaming and normal pc use as well. I have 2 devices I would like to replace for ones with full linux support(~~drivers~~ software), unless there are ~~drivers~~ software that are easy to install not requiring compilation from source. The devices are a Microsoft Intellipoint Trackball, basically a thumb driven trackball with at least as many buttons (more is better) as the image shows.

The second device is a Logitec G13

I use this for most of my flat games, and to control my video player. Suggestions for similar hardware or easy fully functional drivers would be appreciated. ie; the g13 has game profiles, stopwatch, clock, system monitor, and a few things I don't use, the trackball has all 7 buttons programmable to anything on the kb and then some.

 

Every time this comes up on my feed, generally from an ani.social account, my a/v says dangerous site and blocks the URL but that popup is getting annoying, how can I block this url from lemmy (default webpage/summit app). I have blocked the instance ani.social and 2 of their comms animemes@ani.social and ANI.SOCIAL META@ani.social. Now one of the 196 comms has the same url link from someone on ani.social. Can't turn off that notification as this is a work pc using shudder Nortons

 

A fun little site from our friends at Last Week Tonight. Type what you want then hit "SCREAM"

 

As I scroll through Lemmy, I keep seeing the same posts over and over. Exact same title (usually cross posted). Is there a way to group these posts so that we can decide which instance to interact with instead of seeing the same post 6+ times? It starts to feel like the content is just being recycled to the top of the next page.

I use the default browser on PC and Summit on my phone and usually sort by new. This same issue was starting to get to me on reddit til I left

 

What are some controllers that are similar to Index but are not index? Looking to change things up, needs some form of touch to grab not buttons like the vive wands.
