I haven't seen any Star Wars movie.

for Android I think Connect for Lemmy is the best around. also, it gets literally better day to day since the dev is following the app's community and fixes bugs, implements things from there super rapidly.

back in the XP days, I used a software called "Unlocker" just for this problem. It probably still exists, I don't know, because since Windows 7, the easiest way to find out what process locks a file is to open Resource Monitor (Start search: resmon) and on the CPU tab, using the "Associated handles" list, you can search for the file name and see the process in question (and kill it).

So yeah, Resource Monitor is a useful tool on Windows.

strangely Network Troubleshooter always helped me when I was out of ideas why the network just... stopped working

tho never said the problem, things just got fixed in the meantime while it analyzed n shit and then it reported no issues :P

My first guess would be filtering out illegal content is something that the operator/admins of the given instance have to take care according to the law of the country the server is hosted in.

Your system ate a SPARC! Gah

What does this mean? Does it has something to do with... I don't know, the Sun SPARC CPUs?

for newcomers, maybe this is the best combo. Debian stable with KDE Plasma.

Once a Nintendo update bricked my console. Black screen of death after a brief moment of Nintendo logo. The console was on, the fan was spinning, but that's all.

It's a v1 console, and it booted into Hekate and CFW no problems. So after following a video on YT, I was able to reflash the whole device with the latest firmware.

It works now flawlessly, tho always a bit butt clentching when there's new update. I play online with it a lot on OFW, not even using the CFW for anything. (I have a chipped Lite for all my hacking desires.)

I contacted Nintendo what the fuck is this (prior I think I got shadowbanned in Animal Crossing as well since no online features worked in game), we had shared some emails and that's it. They just ghosted me.

So, if this is the case, people SHOULD hack their Switches, just to have a way to emergency restore their consoles.

Retro tech. It's not too obscure, especially nowadays. I could talk long hours about how mind fucking blowing was the Amiga and then still how it went down on the drain... tho I just see on the other people that this isn't really the topic that will kickstart (heheh) the party.

I need to find more friends...

where I live (not Japan), trams are updated with a suitcase worth of floppy disks (and these are the more modern trams here)

I started Star Trek from 0 around 2 years ago.

I had to stop at number 2 of your list. (Maybe a bit later since I still watched Enterprise...) but Discovery killed the whole thing for me. I was like... how bad it can be? It's still Star Trek... well no.

Checked out a few episodes of Picard.., I dunno. That's also not necessarily the Star Trek for me. :/

(On the other hand, Seth MacFarlane's Orville was amazing)

I'm fine with it.

I mean... you can get information accessing the database. Can anyone access the instance DBs? No. How would you know reddit doesn't log these in its database somewhere?

On it's own, it's not a problem IMO. Why would you want to show all information stored on the frontend? But, if you have to investigate something, it's not that bad you have stuff in your database that can help it.

Granted, if an admin is a shitface, they can look at these information. And then...? Make fun of downvoting people? Go to other instance and that's it.

welp, I'm not sitting on a tram anymore

the overall ambiguity across all UI is what annoys me, tho maybe I'm too oldschool.

what I mean, around 15-20 years ago, the UI elements had defining qualities. borders were 3D as well as buttons. they stood up from the surface, had some 3d effect to make you instinctily feel that you can push that block. and this was consistent; things you could click on were 3d. you knew you can click on a list header, it looked like a button.

scrollable content always had a scrollbar. now it appears if you bring your cursor to the place where it should be, but you don't really know for sure is it scrollable or not.

links were blue, with the pointing finger cursor.

and things like these. Granted, oldschool UI is considered ugly nowadays, but it was functional. you opened a native app for your system, even if you never used it before, the UI gave you clues on at least how to navigate or operate the given software. it was familiar on all systems.

I don't feel there is a unified UX guide for today's computers. at a point, everyone went with their own interpretation of "modern" and "clean", caused (previously) vital UI qualities disappear. everything became "flat".

which, on its own isn't bad, of course.

how about they just give us a Ctrl key, and strangely enough, almost every shortcut become available

They should open-source it, as they did with Calculator.

noone was talking about defending stuff, rather explaining.

tbh, it's kinda unclear to me as well how do you use a bidet properly, I mean you walk around with shitty hole in your bathroom, when do you flush or clean up the toilet if neccessary...?

or if it's built into the toilet, you stand up still drippy hole? do you use soap? when and how? you dry your butt still sitting on top of your poo?

see? lots of unclarity here.

I'm thinking about upgrading my porcelain throne anyway...

the point and strength of notepad was that it opened immediately, no bullshit, you can write text and that's all.

I suspect that's not the case anymore.

if you feel comfortable with Debian based distros (or at least, to my understanding), why not use... Debian? or a Debian based system?

RISC-V and getting even more low power+max performance
