  • Coke is a white powder, kind of like snow, so people just started using the snowflake emoji for it at some point

  • Snap bad

  • I've used Linux for years and I also have a ~/Applications folder where I put AppImages, applications cloned with git and stuff like that in. E.g. I have the last Yuzu AppImage in there, since it got taken down, but I also made a .desktop file for it, so I can launch it through the application menu. Btw, you should be able to just double click AppImages in your file explorer to open them.

  • I use TikTok and I didn't know it had anything like that

  • Fascists are rising up all over the world, it's the same here. The fascists have already taken power in the US and it looks like they'll do the same here in Germany too if nothing majorly changes. As soon as our economic system encounters a really bad recession, people notice that something's going wrong and needs to change. Fascists take that opportunity to give people easy enemies to blame, saying that the "others" (nowadays that's mostly muslims, immigrants and trans people) just need to be removed from society and everything will be fine again. They find explanations for why that's the case and justify it by saying that they just want to "remigrate" them and also only the bad ones that don't work and stuff like that. What they want to do and how they want to do it never changes tho, they're still fascists no matter how many justifications and euphemisms they find for the cruel things they want to do. Unfortunately, their strategy still works perfectly, partly because they're being supported by the rich. The rich know that the change people want will either result in fascists taking power, in which case they'd still be able to make loads of money, or leftists taking power, in which case their wealth would be taken away and given back to society. And just like with the companies they own, profit is always more important than human lifes. The fascists have convinced large parts of the population, the nationalised media (that was established after WW2 as a neutral source of information, so fascists can't spread their propaganda, didn't work out that well) and neoliberal politicians (so everyone who's not in Die Linke or the AFD).

  • You can filter instances by language on the join lemmy site and then look at the communities on those instances. It seems like there's no arabic instances but it seems like there's a russian one.

  • There's a "What's missing" section there that lists ROCm, so I'm pretty sure it's planned to be added

  • I know that OP already found the solution but I just wanted to chime in because every person who commented completely misunderstood the question. It's normal that some extenions don't support the new version after updating GNOME but in that case, the switch will be disabled and it will show you a warning that the extensions doesn't support the new GNOME version. OP clearly stated that they could still switch the extensions on and off. Besides that, most extensions will already have been updated to support the new version by the time the Fedora update comes out, so it wouldn't make sense that all the extensions wouldn't work anymore.

    As a tip, you can install "Extension Manager" instead of the default "Extenions" app and besides being able to install extensions right through the app, it also has an "Upgrade Assistant" function, which lets you check which of your extensions support the GNOME version you specify. That way you can check if your extensions will work in the new GNOME version before updating.

  • I mean, China is obviously not some saint but those suicide nets seem like a good thing to me. People throw themselves off of buildings here in the west too but at least the people who installed those nets care enough to try to prevent those people from killing themselves.

  • That's the solution I used in the end too. It was for my parents TV, which is a smart TV with an OS that just sucks. I have a server with Jellyfin and every time they wanted to open that, they had to navigate to the app store, open that, open "Web App Tester" and then click the link for Jellyfin. The TV was also really slow in general, it always took like half a minute to connect to our WiFi after turning on and it randomly started to flicker. Then I found the Xiaomi TV Box, which comes with a bluetooth remote and can be hooked up to a TV over HDMI. It runs Google TV, which is just the new name for Android TV, so it has Jellyfin as an app and all the other issues were fixed as well. I know that still sucks privacy wise but my parents don't care about that and they just wanted something that works. We also wanted to replace the smart TV with a dumb TV at first but all the dumb TVs we could find were a lot smaller and only 1080p instead of 4k, so we just disconnected the smart TV from our WiFi. This new setup is an improvement in every way and we can replace the TV itself and the Xiaomi TV Box independently if we ever need to.

  • I completely agree with you that all forks in the image suck. The part that you stick into the food shouldn't be rounded like that, it should be straight, so when you take it out of your mouth, it glides through your lips uniformly without some weird bumps. It should also have enough space in between the thingys, so you don't just cut your food in half when sticking it in. Then the handle, there's no reason for it not to be straight either. My hand doesn't have weird bumps like that, so the handle shouldn't either. It should also not be that flat, so it's nicer to grip.

    Once I move out of my parents house, I'm definitely gonna buy forks like the one in your image. This is the best fork I've ever seen. Everything is straight without weird bump, it's not gonna cut my food in half and the handle is thick, so it's nice to grip. I don't understand how people who design things like this just don't think about making them nice to use. Do they stop themselves from thinking about how the thing they make would actually be used or what?

  • Sorry, I completely forgot about this 😅 You can send me your email in a DM if you still need it, I can just enter that in DrunkenSlug and then they'll send you a link

  • Thanks, didn't know this existed

  • I never really understood the deal about hybrids anyway. To me, it just seems like the worst of both worlds. One of the coolest things about EVs is that you can just charge it at home but wirth a hybrid you need to charge it in addition to also driving to the gas station to fill up the tank. The battery is also way smaller, so the electric engine doesn't take you very far anyway. And whatever engine you're using, you always have to carry the weight of the other system. And since you have both, doesn't that mean that there's way more that can break too?

    And that's just talking about plug-in hybrids, the ones that generate electricity using a combustion engine just seem like ICE vehicles with extra steps.

  • I live in Germany and I would love to buy a chinese EV but I just can't find any place that sells them. You just can't really order cars online from China like you can with other products.

    Selfhosted Piped instance loading infinitely

    I just installed Piped using podman-compose but when open up the frontend in my browser, the trending page is just showing the loading icon. The logs aren't really helping, the only error is in piped-backend:

    Are selfhosted Piped instances still working?

    All the public Piped instances are getting blocked by YouTube but do small selfhosted instances, that are only used by a handful of users or just yourself, still working? Thinking of just selfhosting it.

    On a side note, if I do it, I'd also like to install the new EFY redesign or is that branch too far behind?

    Edit: As you can see in the replies, private instances still work. I also found the instructions for running the new EFY redesign here

    How to use the print screen key on a Keychron K6

    You need to hold down fn1 + page up for a few seconds until the keyboard flashes red, then let go of the keys. Now you can use page up as the print screen key. If you hold down fn1 + page up for a few seconds again, it will go back to working as the page up key.

    Just had to search this up and found out how to do this from a Reddit post, so I thought I'd put this information on here as well.

    Sovol SV06 stringing issue

    I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with this. I'm having an issue with my Sovol SV06, which is that I get a lot of stringing. I'm still fairly new to 3D printing, so I have no idea what could cause this and how I could go about fixing this. I already searched for this issue online btw but didn't really find anything helpful.

    The only change I made to this printer is that I hooked up a Raspberry Pi 4 to it and installed Klipper and Octoprint. I'm also using PrusaSlicer with the config from here.

    Edit: Forgot to mention I was using PLA for this print

    Extracting frames from a video with ffmpeg very slow if not using jpeg

    I'm trying to extract the frames of a video as individual images but it's really slow, except when I'm using jpeg. The obvious issue with jpegs is the data loss from the compression, I want the images to be lossless. Extracting them as jpegs manages about 50-70 fps but as pngs it's only 4 fps and it seems to continue getting slower, after 1 minute of the 11 minute video it's only 3.5 fps.

    I suspect it's because I'm doing this on an external 5tb hard drive, connected over USB 3.0 and the write speed can't keep up. So my idea was to use a different image format. I tried lossless jpeg xl and lossless webp but both of them are even slower, only managing to extract at about 0.5 fps or something. I have no idea why that's so slow, the files are a lot smaller than png, so it can't be because of the write speed.

    I would appreciate it if anyone could help me with this.

    What skin are you using?

    cross-posted from: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/18218858

    Would be nice if you commented on the original post instead of this one. Also a reminder that the original post is made in the new community I made (you can't move communities to other instances yet, so I had to recreate it) and it would be nice if you subscribed to that community instead of this one.

    Would be interesting to know what skins everyone's using.

    The skin I'm using is 霜滅 SOUMETSU by thetasigma

    Been using this skin since it was released and I haven't found a better skin yet, this was the first skin that made me stop frankensteining together other skins to get a skin that I can actually play well with and it looks great.

    Do you think it would be a good idea to recreate the community on the instance I'm currently on?

    I switched from lemmy.ml to discuss.tchncs.de but this community is still on lemmy.ml. I'm thinking of recreating this community on discuss.tchncs.de, where I'm now, because apparently there's still bugs when moderating a community that's on a different instance. Do you think I should recreate it there?

    Need to run update-grub after every kernel update because I installed a GRUB theme

    I installed a GRUB theme and changed some options in the config but now I need to run update-grub (alias for grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2-efi.cfg) after every kernel update or else that new kernel version won't boot. Does anybody know a fix for this?

    Any advantage to using something self-hosted, like Komga, in Mihon (formerly Tachiyomi)?

    I recently found out that instead of just using online sources, you can also use something you can host yourself, like Komga, in Mihon. I'm just wondering if there's an advantage to it that I didn't think of because the only things I can think of are:

    • Progress is synced over multiple devices
    • Online sources can suddenly go offline, your self-hosted service won't
