This month's Windows 11 update broke the Recycle Bin, OneDrive, and possibly your PC's stability
My work machine forgot the resolution of my presentation monitor after the update. Love it

Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material
Its comical that in the last 25 years Linux has gone from a nerd-only tool to something that a 10 year old can install on an air-fryer and still we deal with this bs

Gentle reminder to everyone that support for [#windows10](https://mastodon.social/tags/windows10) ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:
I'm sorry, what?....Oh, all I heard was that my linux home server is going to be running on new hardware in about a year and a half when all these used computers go on sale. 😁

Yes this is in addition to the normal alarm. The light is incase I'm sleeping, as I may not hear the basement alarm going off. The notification is if I'm not home.

Self Hosting Fail
Reply in thread
I didn't mean to imply that Services actually broke. Only that they didn't come back after a reboot. A clean reboot may have caused some of the same issues because, I'm learning as I go. Some services are restarted by systemctl, some by cron, some....manual. This is certainly a wake up call that I need standardize and simplify the way the services are started.

Lemmy needs more donations
Thanks for the reminder, sometimes I forget to support these important pieces of software.
I feel like us old people need to give a little extra to pay for the next generation of young tinkerers so things can continue to be free

Self-Hosted podcast has announced that episode 150 is their last.
I'm really going to miss Self-Hosted, it brought a community of us weirdos together. I hope someone fills the vacuum left after ep. 150

FUTO Voice Input - Privacy Respecting Speech To Text App
I've spent countless hours over the last couple years, since I left the Googs, trying to find a good alternative for STT. I love that I just bumped into this post and it seems to be the answer I'm looking for. I've been playing around with it today and it works pretty great. Thanks OP!

The last I knew in the US you have a choice to remove it yourself, you can be as safe or unsafe as you see fit, there a very few rules. Or you pay a company which must follow strict regulation on its removal.

Is Pine64 in trouble?
Looks like the same over on Reddit, it's really sad. For a while I got sooo much excitement following Pine64. I feel like I was just working to make money to buy everything they were developing!

Paid leave for new mothers
Reply in thread
In NY any private company with more than 100 employees is required to provide 12 weeks of protected time off to mothers,fathers and adoptive parents. The state collects an extra paid leave tax from our payroll that pays around 70% of your salary while youre out. You have 1 calendar year from birth/adoption to use the leave

Alternatives to gmail products (gmail, office, etc)
The proton suite or consider murena.io
Murena is the company behind e/os which is a privacy (from big tech) driven android spin. Whether or not you want to flash your phone with the os, you can use their cloud suite for a few dollars a month. It's built on nextcloud, has email, calendar, notes, picture and file backup, productivity suite.....
Murena isn't end to end encrypted like proton, so it depends on your threat model I guess
