I'm with the other person, while I've heard herumstreunern, a Streuner is always homeless in my understanding. Might be a regional thing, idk

So signaling in each curve of the road? /s

Selbstverständlich ist Luft nach oben — deswegen bin ich Mitglied einer Gewerkschaft und einer Partei. Ich finde nur die Implikation falsch, dass da ein uns fremdes System etwas verlangt. Wir haben das so konstruiert.
Wir haben versucht ein System zu schaffen, welches Chancengleichheit und einen würdevollen Lebensstandard für alle bietet. Damit meine ich auch alle, und nicht nur diejenigen, die eine wirtschaftliche Leistung erbringen.
In diesem kapitalistiachen system hat sich dann trotzdem das Geld und die macht bei einigen wenigen gesammelt, die das system zu ihren gunsten zurechtgebogen haben.
Du musst auch kein Geld haben oder verdienen. Nur, wenn Du dann von anderen möchtest, dass Sie Dir ein Haus bauen, Dich medizinisch versorgen oder andere Leistungen erbringen, musst Du einen Ausgleich dafür vorschlagen. Aus Nächstenliebe baut Dir niemand ein Auto.
Ich will ja nicht sagen, dass Geld völlig zwecklos ist, natürlich muss man für die Leistungen der Anderen auch etwas geben, insofern man dazu in der Lage ist. Was ich damit sagen wollte, ist, dass es eben nicht wirklich eine Möglichkeit ist, dieses System zu boykottieren indem man aussteigt.
Es gibt keine richtige Option, um gegen die Schere zwischen arm und reich anzukämpfen. Entweder man steigt komplett aus und spaltet sich von über 99% der Gesellschaft ab, oder man macht mit, und tritt nach unten. Man könnte jetzt darüber diskutieren, dass man zwar die Wahl darüber hat, wie fest man nach unten tritt, aber in meinen Augen macht das wenig Unterschied. Und als Rudeltiere sind die meisten Menschen auch nicht gerade heiß darauf, sich sozial zu verstümmeln.
Ich denke es kann durchaus ein System geben, in dem (wirtschaftliche) Leistung belohnt wird, aber die Abwesenheit von dieser Leistung nicht damit bestraft wird, dass die Existenzgrundlagen entzogen, oder auf ein lächerliches minimum reduziert werden.
Der weg zu diesem System ist ein langer, und verlangt, dass die breite Masse bezüglich Klassenkampf gebildet ist. Aktuell gibt es aber viel zu viel neoliberale Propaganda, die dazu führt, dass ein großer teil der Gesellschaft hart daran arbeitet das Hamsterrad weiter drehen zu lassen.

Genau. Und all das funktioniert, weil wir es so wollen.
Naja, das glaube ich weniger. Ich denke im Kapitalismus sammelt sich die macht bei den reichen, die natürlich wollen, dass es so bleibt. Der durchschnittliche Arbeiter wünscht sich aber sicherlich Veränderung, hat aber kaum bis keinen Einfluss auf das geschehen.
Wir reproduzieren das System durch eigenes Handeln. Es gibt kein oktroyiertes System, das von uns irgendwas verlangt — wir sind das System.
Es mag stimmen, dass wir das System durch unser handeln stärken. Das System zwingt uns aber zu einem gewissen Grad dazu. Um an der Gesellschaft teilzuhaben ist man effektiv gezwungen Lohnarbeit zu machen. Ohne Geld wird es schwierig Freunde zu haben. Ohne Moos nix los, stimmt halt leider. Es stimmt zwar auch, dass die schönsten Dinge im leben kostenlos sind, aber die notwendigen Begebenheiten die diese Dinge ermöglichen sind eben nicht kostenlos.
Und ich habe damit kein Problem. Die soziale Marktwirtschaft hat uns den höchsten Lebensstandard in der Geschichte der Menschheit beschert.
Heißt ja nicht, dass da keine Luft nach oben ist.

Du sagst das als wäre hier von den Illuminaten die Rede. Dabei ist es einfach ein komplett logisches Phänomen im Kapitalismus.

The company I used to work at sometimes rented out their conference room to other companies for large conferences.
One day some people rent the room, and start bringing in some suitcases. Thinking they might have some involved presentation, nobody asked questions. A few more people came and went, until suddenly the police raids the place.
Turns out those people robbed a museum a few weeks earlier and tried to sell the stolen historical art pieces in that conference room.

The problem is that anyone has a net worth that high to begin with. Nobody is able to work that much harder than a regular worker.

I think its quite a different thing for someone who has a net worth in the millions. It's not the same at all for someone living paycheck to paycheck.

Ich halte auch mehr für angebracht. Man muss sich aber auch vor Augen halten, dass wir hier nicht in Amerika sind, und die Entschädigungssummen meist relativ gering ausfallen.
Mein Kumpel war mit dem rad unterwegs, und wurde vom Auto angefahren, das ihm die Vorfahrt genommen hat. 2 Wochen Krankenhaus, Fahrrad im Arsch, Monate lang schmerzen beim laufen. Was hat er bekommen? 1000€ plus ein neues Fahrrad.
Seine Schmerzen wurden weniger entschädigt als der Sachschaden. Leider ist das hier in Deutschland so. Und in dem Kontext ist das, was die Polizistin hier bekommt, tatsächlich eine beachtliche Summe, finde ich.
Trotzdem wäre mehr für die Polizistin richtig.

I really don't see how that makes much of a difference. The CEOs can just leave if the board doesn't pay them what they want. And since the boards want them specifically as CEOs, they end up paying what the CEOs are asking for. So the CEOs are paying themselves with some extra steps. Or am I missing something?

Ich glaub ich kann in all den Jahren öffis an einer Hand abzählen wie oft ich jemanden im 1. Klasse Abteil gesehen habe. Würde mich wundern, wenn das finanziell wirklich sinnvoll ist

Which is why it's possible to block all 🌽 instances.
My ravioli bowl won't unstick. Took about an hour of prying, and still I couldn't unstick the plate.

The delta P you're talking about has much much higher ambient pressure than what is the case here.
And even underwater there is a limit to delta P.

Yeah but I feel like most adults would have had pressure sensitive ears at some point in the life (like from a cold or something), forcing them to learn about popping ears, even if the only way of doing it they know is swallowing.

Its a day old post, are you sure it's a repost and not just the same post you saw yesterday?

People dont get what you mean with "popping your ears"? How can an adult never experience that?

Mine just had one scan, but otherwise same

Ah yes, local markets, where nobody is trying to sell anything

Unable to install on e/OS
e/OS is a privacy focused android version that still allows users to install apps from the Play Store by spoofing user data. It uses it's own store called App Lounge, and it works fine for most apps. For some reason, Boost for Lemmy doesn't install when I click install, like all other apps, instead it opens the Play Store website inside a webview. Installing from the website doesn't work for me. I was wondering if the developer provides the APK somewhere? I only found some sketchy links so far.

Clean all URLs in clipboard
I know firefox has the very useful "Copy clean Link" option in the context menu, but I would like a similar feature for copying links from any other software, like spotify for example. So I am looking for some software that hooks into the clipboard pipeline, and cleans any URL that gets added. I tried googling for something like it, but was completely unsuccessful. Does anyone have a clue how I might go about achieving this?
Thanks in advance :)
Edit: I found out about klipper
's actions, which provide the option to run a command when a string that matches a regex is added to the clipboard buffer. I am not sure how to properly use this though, so any help is appreciated!

Can I try an alternate android version without nuking my phone?
I am interested in installing a de-googled android on my phone, but I would like to try it out a little bit first. Is there some way to emulate a phone on my PC, or is there anything like dual booting on phones?

Discord update freezing system
I am relatively new to linux and would like to learn how to troubleshoot things like this. I'm not sure whether the title is indeed correct, but I've had it happen twice now that I was on discord with friends, and suddenly my whole system freezes. When I restart, the official discord client says it has an update.
Has anyone else have this happen? How do I best look for the actual cause? Or at least some error message I can google?
I am on vanilla arch, running plasma on wayland, and I've got the AUR enabled using yay. Discord is installed from the arch extra repo though.

Looking for a better emoji picker
I'm on KDE Plasma using wayland, and I'm annoyed with KDE's emoji picker. Well, the interface is fine, I just want emojis to immediately be pasted into the text field that was in focus when I used the shortcut to launch the emoji picker. Basically I want the behavior to be as close to the Windows emoji picker as possible.
Does anyone know of an alternative that allows me to quickly type 2 different emojis in succession? Bonus points when it's easily available on arch.

Please extend the textured background to 3000x5000


I found this image on insta (direct link for download that isn't compressed by lemmy) and would like to use it as my phone wallpaper, so I need to extend the background to see the whole drawing. However I'm not very good with image editors, so I would only be able to add black borders, which is obviously ugly.
Can anyone extend the textured background so it's about 3000x5000, so I can crop it to my liking? Thanks a lot in advance!

I think he wanted to thank me for petting him but did not realize he's licking the cone


He's such an idiot sometimes. I love him

Laptop randomly playing media
Edit: sadly, Auto Tab Discard did not fix my issue. Firefox is also set to block audio (including video with audio to my understanding) by default, which I never changed so I don't think that helps with this issue either.
So I installed pop on my laptop a few months ago, and recently got another one where I installed arch. On both laptops I mostly just watched series, and often times I'd just leave the laptop with the media player still open.
Now to the issue: Randomly throughout the day, it would just start playing whatever I left open, usually after a few hours of being left alone. Now that I think about it, I think it was only crunchyroll. Does anyone experience anything similar, or might even have an idea as to how to fix this or what causes this? Is it just crunchyroll being buggy?

My cats 1st birthday is coming up, what kind of treat should I get him?


I was thinking about some raw fish or something like that, he seems to really like salmon. Any suggestions or things to watch out for?

How do I say "stay hydrated" in japanese?
I am designing a tshirt with a friend and we wanted to put some japanese on it. Since my japanese is extremely basic (こんにちは、ミカです) I wanted to ask whether the symbols DeepL gave us mean what we think it means. We want to have a skeleton inside a water bottle and the text should read "stay hydrated" and we got these symbols: 水分補給. Do they work in that context? Or are there any better suggestions we could use? Thanks in advance!

Bring existing KDE Konsole into focus instead of launching if one exists
I use KDE on arch and would like to achieve the following behavior:
Whatever way I launch Konsole, I want it to check whether there already is a Konsole instance. If one exists, it should be brought into focus, and if no instance exists, one should be launched.
I am unable to find such an option in the Konsole settings, even though I found a roughly 1 year old forum entry mentioning such a setting. Was it removed or am I just blind? Or do I need some optional dependency?
Alternatively, it would be fine if this could simply kick in when I use my Super+K shortcut, which I've set up. Maybe there's a way to call Konsole from the terminal like that? I tried using konsole --force-reuse
but it didn't seem to do the trick, and konsole --new-tab
does not bring Konsole into the foreground.
Edit: Here's a script that does this, by @[email protected]
undefined
#!/bin/bash WIN="$(kdotool search --class org.kde.konsole | head -1)" if [[ "$WIN" != "" ]]; then

Drop ENTR media keys on linux
I recently bought a Drop ENTR, and I would like to use the media keys. On the drop.com website it says that using FN + the F-keys should work, but “Fn hotkeys may work with Windows operating system only.”. Well, for me it doesn’t work. Any ideas as to why that could be, or how I could go about creating a workaround?
obligatory I use arch btw

Heroic Games Launcher not finding other drives (solved)


I have 2 relevant drives. The system drive, and a drive with my game files. The drive with the game files is mounted. However, it is not displayed under "Other devices" and I am unable to select it from /dev/
Installed it using yay from AUR (aur/heroic-games-launcher-bin 2.14.1-1).
Any ideas as to what may be causing this, or how to go about troubleshooting?

Looking for someone to play nintendo smash bros with
I think the community here is much better than reddit, so I'm trying here first.
I've been living here for a few years now but haven't yet found anyone who enjoys playing smash bros with me. I'm by no means an expert in the game but I am good enough that noone I met here so far was a real challenge. I would describe my skill level as advanced casual.
I'm also happy to meet in some kind of public space first to get rid of the serial killer vibes, but my goal definitely is a friend to play smash bros with. Shoot me a DM if you're interested :)

Checking dependencies for manual build and install of software
I am pretty new to linux so please excuse any foolish mistakes.
I am trying to manually install gpu-screen-recorder(GSR) to get rid of an annoying password prompt that I can't seem to disable in the flatpak version. I know there must be some way to do it because this prompt didn't show up on Pop!_OS, but maybe it's just not possible on Nobara KDE/Fedora. I noticed in the install.sh of GSR, that setcap cap_sys_admin+ep
is called on the executable. So if you know any way of replicating something like that for flatpaks that is simpler than installing GSR manually, feel free to let me know.
I tried checking the dependencies listed, but was unable to figure out how to really make sure they are installed and accessible for GSR.
For example: I tried checking for libglvnd
by running dnf list libglvnd
. Sure enough, it returns
undefined
Installed Packages libglvnd.i686 1:1.6.0-2.fc38

How do I get rid of excessive password prompts, with the least amount of lost security?
I understand they are important and are what makes linux relatively secure compared to windows.
However, when I boot my PC, I don't want to spend a whole minute to type my password into different promts that keep getting hidden behind other windows that are starting up. I am using Nobara KDE now, but previously when I was using Pop!_OS, none of these prompts showed up.
Currently I have 2 prompts after logging on. One for my keychain when discord autostarts, and one for flatpak when gpu-screen-recorder launches. Interestingly, discord works just fine, with auto logon, regardless of whether the keychain prompt gets canceled or filled with the password.
Any idea on how to get rid of them? I'd prefer if really only that startup prompt was gone, and it would still ask me for the password whenever it launches any other way.

YouTube not going fullscreen properly
I recently switched to Linux. First I tried Pop_OS, and am now on Nobara. On both systems I have this issue, that when I open a YouTube video in a new tab, and immediately start fullscreen, it doesn't properly do it.
As you probably know, YouTube videos start playing before the whole page has finished loading. There are some placeholders for the title and description etc, but the actual text is still loading despite the video already playing. If I enter fullscreen during this moment, the browser enters full screen mode, but not the video/website.
What I remember happening on windows is that when the page finished loading, the video would enter proper fullscreen mode. Now, on Linux, that doesn't seem to work and the website just gets displayed regularly with the browser now in fullscreen mode.
Any ideas on what could cause this or how to troubleshoot this?
