It’ll be interesting to see what people have to say about this new Pi when it ships. I would think most people looking to use a Pi as a desktop would go for the 400/500 series.

Amnesty International provides a FOSS tool to check your mobile backups for traces of the Pegasus Spyware. I’d trust that over a sketchy proprietary app. Link: https://docs.mvt.re.

I have my Mac desktop configured to snap icons to a grid. However, for a while I've noticed that moving an icon causes them to snap to the upper-right corner of the screen, ignoring where I actually want them and overlapping existing icons. The only way around this seems to be going into Display Settings, changing any parameter such as Grid Size, and then moving the icons again. Has anyone else been experiencing this?

Help Finding Comic (self.standupcomedy)
submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by vhstape to c/standupcomedy@lemmy.world

I'm trying to find a YouTube video of a stand-up routine that I loved, but I can't remember the name of the performer! Here's what I do remember. She had long brown hair and a voice that reminded me of Mickey Mouse. I believe the video was taken from one of those late-night shows. Her routine was about getting older and not wanting to date casually anymore. It was pretty raunchy too. Two punchlines I remember had to do with drinking c-m and claiming her biggest weakness or red flag was that her p-ssy is too tight. Thanks in advance!

I work in semiconductors, and I don't think the numbers are necessarily unfair. There are a lot of small companies and academic research labs receiving funding from the CHIPS act, and their work gets done faster when there are fabs in the country to tape out their designs.

What annoys me about companies like StackOverflow, Reddit, Twitter, etc. partnering with AI firms is that they do not actually create any of the content on their platforms. Sure, if you read the terms they technically own the data, but still...

There are instances where the user is implied, but there is always a user. As far as Git goes, the user is almost always git.

I believe that RCS is a specification maintained by the GSM Association. That's not to say Google is not a member (they are) and has a strong influence, but Google doesn't own the standard either

I am interested in dual-booting a Linux distro (probably Ubuntu) on my 2019 MacBook Pro. Ideally, I would have a shared data partition so that I could access my documents from both OSes. Does anyone have suggestions on the best way to accomplish this?

UPDATE: created macOS, Ubuntu, and data partitions. Was able to mount and access data partition from both systems without any issues. As a bonus, Ubuntu let me replace the standard documents, photos, videos, etc. folders with symlinks to the data partition.

Unless we move toward a society where everyone is wearing a VR headset 24/7, I don't think we need to worry about most of the issues mentioned in the article... Still worth a read, but a bit exaggerated

My partner and I bought a low-end 3D scanner on Amazon to create this visualizer for a song I wrote!

The scanner aided in created a 3D mesh and texture map, which we brought into Blender and added fluid simulations via the FLIP plugin.

The song was recorded in Logic Pro, featuring my childhood Yamaha Portasound PSS-270. The video was comped in Final Cut Pro.

I'd love to know what you all think :)

Does anyone here have a BOOX e-paper tablet? I'm a big fan of e-paper devices—I love my Pebble smartwatch, Kindle Paperwhite, and Light Phone II. I've been eyeing the Tab Ultra C for quite a while, and I am considering the pros and cons. Mostly, I intend to use it for browsing the web and maybe some light note taking and document writing.

Suzuki Omnichord OM-108 Unveiled (www.suzuki-music.co.jp)
submitted 11 months ago by vhstape to c/synths

Suzuki's much anticipated re-issue of the Omnichord is here! It's a faithful modernization of the iconic form factor and sound of the OM-84, and it's expected to retail for around $800. Given that in 1984 these instruments went for between $260-$300 ($700-$1500 today), that's exciting!

I've got an original OM-84 that's still going strong, but I'll definitely be keeping my eye on this new line.

Hi friends! Can anyone recommend a good RSS reader for Mac, which supports the Fever API? I run a self-hosted FreshRSS server which I prefer to access through a client application. I have tried Fluent Reader, but it does not support the "starred" articles feature.

UPDATE: I've been using NetNewsWire for a while now, and it's perfect.

"Hey, I hear you're a programmer! That's great, because my buddy and I have this idea for a business. We have everything important figured out, and all we need is a programmer to throw it together."

The sheer number of times I have been approached with this same phrase... 😂

I don't think this solves the problem, but it is a step in the right direction.
