You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK you can add a noAI version of DuckDuckGo to Firefox
17·5 months agoThere’s a button “Show Bookmarklet and Settings Data” that saves all the settings to query parameters
No, those are known issues with Firefox for Android. They’ve been around for years now, but are not common enough for Mozilla to actually address them. The blank tab thing is what forced me to switch. Sometimes an existing tab would break permanently, had to close and undo close, lose all the page state.
And it’s slower, and it doesn’t have a tablet UI… sucks but it’s not an option for me.
A line immediately after that: “Windows Powershell failed to load .NET command. Aborting…”
So presumably some of those commands will fail if .NET is missing.
Just install fd-find. I found it to be the most intuitive way to search for files

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Proton getting big encourages centralization
24·6 months agoThe average person is not going to sign up and pay for 10 different things, even if it’s slightly more private. Proton is similar to Google in that it’s free and has a lot of things with one account, but vastly different in the way the data is handled, probably the most meaningful difference. I mean the best thing you can do is self host but it’s obviously not something everyone can or wants to do. So there’s nothing wrong with taking the next best thing.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•YSK you need to resist digital IDEnglish
6·6 months agoI agree with some of what he’s saying, but is seems like the main issue is surveillance, not digitizing IDs. I mean if you have a driver’s license you’re already in a digital database. Or if you were, know, born. If they wanted to track you, they can use your car (like Flock Safety) or just your face. They already know where you live and where you work. The problem he faced in China is being required to scan IDs everywhere (and get logged), and that the government has total control of their internet. Neither of which are happening here.
It seems like the current way it’s going to be implemented is basically storing ID information on your phone that’s signed by the government. So if the bank scans it they can see your information, that it wasn’t tampered with, and that it matches what the government has. Just some bytes that got cryptographically signed. Not much different from a physical ID that’s “signed” by having a bunch of security features. They already have to verify any identification you hand them, this will just make it more convenient.
Now if the government can see each time you use it and what for, that’s different. That’s what he’s against. But it doesn’t seem like that’s the way it will go. And it seems like digital ID is optional, you can just use a physical ID. So this seems very alarmist to me, IMO.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•I wish the Steam Controller used AA batteriesEnglish
5·7 months agoIf there’s a market for it, replacements will be made. You can buy a replacement PS5 battery for $5. You can also buy a iPhone 4 battery (still). LiPos are quite easy to make (geopolitics aside) so making one that fits is not hard at all.
The PS5 battery has a plug, if the Steam Controller is like that (probably is), the only tool required is a screwdriver, which seems like a great tradeoff to replace the battery every 5+ years instead of every week or two, and being able to recharge it easily and quickly.
Worst case scenario you have to use a generic battery that is about the right size instead of a perfect fit. Maybe a little less battery life but it’s still more than enough anyway.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•What are you ladies doing tonight
3·7 months agoI’m pretty sure you used to be able to do that with an app. I don’t know if it’s still a thing, but you could at one point create & save a ratio of a bunch of drinks, scan a QR on the screen, and pour. I think you could share them too?

World News@lemmy.world•Madagascar president in hiding as Gen Z topples another governmentEnglish
4·8 months agoYou could make that case for the boomers, but with the advent of the Internet it’s not really limited to specific countries anymore. Gen z just describes people who grew up with some access to the internet, but not to the extent of alpha. A large part of these recent revolts were caused or accelerated by social media. Gen Z is more specific than young people, and in this case also more culturally relevant.
Doesn’t matter anyway, even if you think Gen Z isn’t real you know what age range the article is talking about.
If this was a poorly drawn Paint illustration it probably wouldn’t have been as funny or recognizable. AI is fast, easy, and good enough. This is just a meme most people will forget about in literally 1 minute, IMO there is nothing wrong with using AI like this

Does anyone have an HDR photo?








This is what the actual marketing photo looks like btw
Most other pictures of the inside also look like this, I think the other photo sliced them with a sharp knife
