Thank you for translating. I use their service and am happy I don’t need to make any changes.

I did similar. Patches and gum. I was vaping between 5 and 10 ml of 18mg/ml at the end.

I followed the patch program, but during the first phase I slowed down how much gum I would chew. By the time I got to phase 2, I was gum free.

I’m doing pretty similar. I now only go to Reddit as a logged out lurker for the path of exile subs. Too much info is dropped there that I just don’t see anywhere else.

Some people say they were born in the wrong decade. Today I learned I was born in the wrong century.

Oh no, the lights were just off. I never change it anyways. I’m not one to care about making the keyboard do anything dynamic.

I ran into the same issue when I uninstall the bloatware from asus in windows.

Honestly, asus just is a huge pain here and I’ll definitely be avoiding them in the future.

It’s not regular typing. It’s primarily using the f-keys and numbers. Particularly for functions in my IDE.

Most of the time I’m using an external monitor and keyboard, so get very little practice on the built in one except when it’s in less than ideal situations like flying.

When I get my next laptop, I’ll be keeping Linux capabilities in mind. But that’s years away. I’m not even sure where to start with reverse engineering the hardware, and also don’t see myself spending months of my free time to make it work. I don’t have that much free time and there are too many other things I’d like to be using that time for.

Oh, I don’t need the keyboard to be pretty. Just lit up at all which seems to be effective locked by asus.

When I tried, I had put Ubuntu on it. That process seemed to go pretty good except the keyboard. Even got the WiFi working just fine. I may give fedora a try, but I’m way too lazy to switch back and forth between os’s depending on how dark the room I’m in is.

I’d love to switch, but my laptop makes that quite hard and the computer still has years in it before I probably need to think about replacing it.

I’ve got an asus rog and sometimes need the backlight on the keyboard. As far as I could tell, no one had figured out how to do it without the windows only asus made software.

I started to learn some of that during the pandemic. With a good square, circular saw, and drill you can get started. I’ve gotten into building some relatively simple furniture now and am basically just using those tools still.

The main reason why I prefer to take the time to write the commands is so I can save a note of what commands I ran to get it working. Being able to say tthese are the commands" is much easier when I’m either helping someone repeat my work or auditing to figure out what I broke

I have the same experience. At my last company they only used Google meet so I had chrome on my computer just for meetings and nothing else.

I’ll be happy when the leadership is gone. So many fucked things happened under their watch. The over watch player being fired then rehired because they said free Hong Kong. Or the announcers who were fired because they were on screen when the player said something. The pile of sexual harassment cases that blizzard settled. Then the obvious intense money grab that their games have become.

Oh how I miss RiF…

“It is just 0.001 percent of the amount Ocasio-Cortez and the rest of the DSA slate (save Rashida Tlaib) gave to the arms manufacturers to provide Ukrainian fascists with missiles, bombs, artillery shells and guns for a war against Russia that poses the danger of nuclear catastrophe.”

Is the author arguing that because Russia has nuclear capabilities Ukraine deserves no military support?

I often stop at the headline because reading the whole article will make me depressed.

What does MAP stand for? I’m a bit wary to use a web search to look it up

Linux on the WAM show recently talked about how much he loved his foldable phone. I’d love to try one out myself but I’m with you on price. $1800 for a phone is way too much. That’s a months rent for something I’d be terrified to drop or get stolen

Everyone here seems to think this’ll be another nail in their coffin. But I’m not sure. As far as I know, they’re the only steaming platform that’s actually profitable. Plus any current users of that plan are getting grandfathered in, so they’re just removing the option for new people which I think is pretty normal for services to do.

Only they know how many people are on the 720p plan. And I’d bet they’ve run the numbers to know that they’ll make more revenue from new users who sign up for the higher tier than the revenue lost from users no longer being able to select this plan.

I’ll edit this comment when I get to my computer to link to a great article about this and a history of companies effectively killing federated services .

Edit: article here https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

But the main issue isn’t the data. It’s that when 99% of the users are coming through a company, they have too much power when it comes to updates. Meta can effectively control how the fediverse grows. And if they decided to defederate it’s the normal Lemmy and kbin users who are forced to use meta services to keep in contact with the same people

Oh wow, I have mullvad VPN and apparently it works perfectly. The list is just completely empty with the vpn off.
