My dynamic IP rarely changes. When it does, it gets updated by a Docker favonia/cloudflare-ddns image. I have yet to notice downtime.

They seem to mean rotating the sound, not balancing the L and R. Imagine laying on your back. An airplane rolls overhead on the soundtrack. It sounds like it’s coming from your headboard rather than the sky, because your head is flat. The OP wants the sound to still be in the sky, essentially rotating the soundscape forwards 90 degrees.

Link layers? Alright GIMP, you’ve finally convinced me. This is 99% of smart objects from Photoshop and I think it’s finally time for me to seriously learn this program. No more dual booting for Photoshop.

Nah, having a useful tool built in is a good user experience, provided you can remove it. Windows fails on the second part. But I think OS’s should aim to have simple tasks covered by default apps such as Paint on Windows or Libre Office on most Linux distros, and an anti virus is probably a necessary install for many Windows users.

While true, I found myself mildly irked by the KDE emoji picker at times. On Windows, you focus an input, press Super+., and then can click any character and it immediately inputs so I can type out 🫵🍽️🤔 easily. On KDE it only copies the character, so the flow is (if I remember right) Super+., click a character, focus the input, paste, Super+., click a character, focus the input, paste…

I’ve found most Linux clipboard managers share the same issue of having to leave the text flow to copy an input and paste it again. Basically they are treated as separate apps rather than popups.

I would love to see alternatives/replacements to them that are less opinionated. If you aren’t ready to consign your entire library to destructive edits and file replacements then it really is hard to fit any arr program into your workflow. Because I have a few files I want to keep pristine and a few opinions on what gets downloaded, I’ve hit a snag every time I try to set up any arr program. Lidarr, for example, simply refuses to allow a root dir to be read only. I still have yet to get any up and running.

Well I fucked around and found out lol, just got the email today.

So no one else has to look it up, 120°F is 49°C

I would disagree. Almost every Windows tutorial I found for problems told me how to go through the UI. It was even hard to find tutorials for CLI at times because Windows doesn’t provide good CLI tools for things like switching audio devices.

Someone must have pissed in their cereal that day or something. Just checked my monthly data and it certainly isn’t low. Happy the new VPN is working for you though!

Opinions will vary. For instance, I’ve been torrenting with Windscribe with no issues since before that post was made and would still recommend it, so…

Edit Feb 2026: I got my account disabled lol. So much for that!

Probably in reference to the binary blob controversy. TL;DR Ventoy has always had unreproducible binaries in it and people want them buildable and documented for security reasons. If you want to go down the rabbit hole, here’s the currently active issue (there were several before this one): https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/3224

The quality has held despite a drop in users.

I feel like I’m going mental over here because this has not been my experience. The quality has always been spotty, but the last few months I’ve noticed more and more posts linking to awful “news” rags or no source at all. Worse, I rarely see people questioning the lack of quality information, simply gobbling it up because it aligns with their world view. Plus 70% of the comments on this platform could be generated by a classic r/subredditsimulator style bot and nothing would change; the same 5 points about AI, capitalism, and Linux are made in every thread in the exact same style every day.

And yes I’m mostly talking about news communities because Linux comms are usually fine but repetitive and while I’d love to interact with non-news content there just… isn’t much being made.

So, did we forget to post a link or is Lemmy really at the point that a random unofficial image is a source of information?

I searched it and found a Verge article that appears to be the source of this image.

What a nothing article though. The logo design I am pretty sure is a Verge artistic interpretation, with the actual changes being updating UI elements to share a similar language with the Copilot app, which just so happens to look like every other modern interface and very similar to the base Windows 11 design. But I guess “company tries new UI on new product and then expands UI to other products” is not QUITE the ragebait headline that people want. The only AI change here is a ChatGPT/Copilot-esque newtab search bar.

Reading this non-post and it’s comments is identical to boomers on Facebook airing their pre-baked grievances after reading a Fox news headline.

It doesn’t have to be, but by nature of anyone being able to spin one up, people will end up on hobby instances.

Traditional social media is run for-profit and thus has an incentive to keep their website online as much as possible to keep their company alive by gaining users and revenue. And I would bet they do have backups. Hobby websites like fediverse projects often are can be run by any flaky nobody that can have varying motives and varying data retention practices.

In this nazi analogy it would be less of buying chairs and more the nazis giving away chairs for free that come with blueprints so if the nazis started installing spikes in their chairs people can just build their own from the blueprints, they just choose not to because it’s a lot of work. Which is fine if you don’t want those chairs, but a lot of people are fine with those chairs as long as the nazis don’t start any camps.

My instinct would be yes, and this was the recommendation I found while researching it before implementation. Windows is less likely to screw with another drive than it is the partitions on it’s own drive. That said, it’s a best guess and you never know what Microsoft vibe coders will break next! But I have found it stable.

On dual booting, I’ll say I’ve been running Win11 through several updates with GRUB and Mint installed on a second SSD with no issues for over a year now.

I would assume they have two monitors connected and when the tearing occurs on the problem monitor, their second monitor flickers.
