I was playing Baldur's Gate 3 shortly after release and got a popup from Bing over the game asking if I wanted to enable Bing in Chrome. I immediately blocked bing.com on my network. Never looked back.
We all forgetting Maggie just straight-up murdered someone for trying to take her lollipop?
Pretty attached. My parents picked it.
If I could just be "Bill" everywhere I would but it really only works on the fediverse.
"Innocent until proven guilty" only applies to the state. I wouldn't want him chasing my daughter, would you? Private companies and individuals are fully entitled to treat him like he's guilty based on their own appraisal of the evidence.
I agree with you about Google. Even though it's good that the rapist doesn't get to make bank by spreading conspiracy theories, it'd be better if they took the videos down. Whereas traditional media outlets and theatres are cancelling his shows and saying (as is their right) that they don't want to work with him, Google's like "we'll work with you but we're not paying you". Not exactly the ethical stance they make it out to be, is it?
I still read it but I stopped posting as soon as Elon Musk bought it. I'm not creating content for free for a billionaire (derogatory) fascist. I'll tweet on Bluesky or Mastodon occasionally and still call it a tweet and if I want to say something longer I've got a blog nobody reads and if there's something I want to chat about there's Lemmy.
That's a coincidence, I was drooling over this exact keyboard just this morning. I like a numeric keypad in the office but most keyboards are just a little too wide. Hope you enjoy it. Which switches did you go for?
I used Tidal for a bit and quite liked it, though it has quite a few gaps in its library compared to Spotify and YouTube Music. I signed up for Dolby Atmos music, which was hella cool but I blew through all the Dolby Atmos content I wanted to hear before the 30 day trial was up.
Quality wise, as others have said if you're using standard Bluetooth SBC it doesn't matter anyway. If you've got decent gear and actually use it then it's worth paying for Hi-Fi but that's not most people.
Free trial though. Can't go wrong with that.
The new version no longer crashes on launch on my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2, so whatever you did fixed that. The scrolling speed is too slow with a mouse wheel in Samsung DeX though. App looks great otherwise and I'm looking forward to playing with it some more.
Veeam Agent going to a NAS on-site and the NAS is backed up nightly to IDrive because it's the cheapest cloud backup service I could find with Linux support. It's a bit slow, very CPU-bound, but it's robust and their support is pretty responsive.
Yeah but it's free advertising on Lemmy and there's only like ten of us here.
I used to like that. I got to browse cool and interesting content from all kinds of different sources while also being constantly low-key horny. When they took porn out of r/all is the day Reddit died.
I think it's okay to keep discussing this because the app situation is very much in flux at the moment. I'm on Jerboa because it's the best native app I've found that plays nice with a folding phone and Samsung DeX. My requirements are simple, but they are niche. I'm keeping an eye on a few other apps though because while Jerboa is great as it is there are improvements to be found.
Exactly that. Royal Kludge makes one.
I think it's a good layout. I have a tenkeyless at home and for some tasks I definitely miss the number pad more than I'd miss the arrow keys, especially since the number pad by design doubles as arrow keys and always has. I've seen even smaller keyboards that have numpads but not the number row, which would also be sweet. Reclaim some vertical deskspace as well as horizontal.
You can still get some mechanical keyboards with numpads but not arrow keys, though since these are variations on compact layouts they tend to omit the numlock key as well.
Looks fine to me. When you type it, you see ILoveBeans42!! because it's your password, but I just see **************.
Huh. I guess you must have the same password.
Nah because if you type in your password it will show as stars.
******* see?
I downvoted the beans and I don't care who knows about it. I'd do it again.
This is useful to know though, thanks. I guess assume everything is public short of your password (unless your admin is particularly nefarious and has altered the code to store passwords in plaintext for some reason).
MTG Wallpaper Scraper for Windows
I developed a PowerShell script a while back to scrape the latest wallpaper from the MTG website and set it as my desktop background. I finally got around to updating it today since it hadn't worked for a while. My background changed to Frodo and I disabled the script.
If you want that though, here you go:
``` Function Set-WallPaper {
<#
.SYNOPSIS Applies a specified wallpaper to the current user's desktop
.PARAMETER Image Provide the exact path to the image
.PARAMETER Style Provide wallpaper style (Example: Fill, Fit, Stretch, Tile, Center, or Span)
.EXAMPLE Set-WallPaper -Image "C:\Wallpaper\Default.jpg" Set-WallPaper -Image "C:\Wallpaper\Background.jpg" -Style Fit
https://www.joseespitia.com/2017/09/15/set-wallpaper-powershell-function/
#>
param ( [parameter(Mandatory=$True)] # Provide path to image [string]$Image, # Provide wallpaper style that you would like applied [parameter(Mandatory=$False)] [ValidateSet('Fill', 'Fit', 'Stretch', 'Tile', 'Center', 'Span')] [string]$Style )
$WallpaperStyle = Switch ($Style) {
"Fill" {"10"} "Fit" {"6"} "Stretch" {"2"} "Tile" {"0"} "Center" {"0"} "Span" {"22"}
}
If($Style -eq "Tile") {
New-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\Control Panel\Desktop" -Name WallpaperStyle -PropertyType String -Value $WallpaperStyle -Force New-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\Control Panel\Desktop" -Name TileWallpaper -PropertyType String -Value 1 -Force
} Else {
New-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\Control Panel\Desktop" -Name WallpaperStyle -PropertyType String -Value $WallpaperStyle -Force New-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\Control Panel\Desktop" -Name TileWallpaper -PropertyType String -Value 0 -Force
}
Add-Type -TypeDefinition @" using System; using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
public class Params { [DllImport("User32.dll",CharSet=CharSet.Unicode)] public static extern int SystemParametersInfo (Int32 uAction, Int32 uParam, String lpvParam, Int32 fuWinIni); } "@
$SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER = 0x0014 $UpdateIniFile = 0x01 $SendChangeEvent = 0x02
$fWinIni = $UpdateIniFile -bor $SendChangeEvent
$ret = [Params]::SystemParametersInfo($SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER, 0, $Image, $fWinIni) }
$result = Invoke-RestMethod 'https://magic.wizards.com/en/news#wallpapers' $result -match "//(.?)2560(.?).png" $wallpaper = $Matches[0] $picfolder = [Environment]::GetFolderPath([Environment+SpecialFolder]::MyPictures) $filename = $wallpaper.Split('/')[-1] $foldername = "MTG Wallpapers" $savefile = "$picfolder\$foldername\$filename"
If (-not (Test-Path "$picfolder\$foldername")) { New-Item -Path $picfolder -name $foldername -ItemType "directory" }
If (-not (Test-Path $savefile)) { Invoke-WebRequest http:$wallpaper -OutFile $savefile Set-WallPaper -Image $savefile -Style Fill } ```
Paste that into PowerShell ISE and run it and see if it works. If you like it, save it and put a shortcut in your startup folder. By default it downloads the 2560x1600 version but if you want a different one just replace the 2560 in the line $result -match "//(.?)2560(.?).png" with 1920 or 1280. It saves images in a folder under your Pictures folder called MTG Wallpapers. You can change that too if you want by editing the $picfolder and $foldername lines.
Have fun.

Slow scrolling with a mouse wheel on Samsung DeX
Hi. The app looks great but it's unfortunately unusable with a mouse in Samsung DeX. I don't know which of those is the problem, maybe someone has a bluetooth mouse to hand and can check? It only scrolls a few pixels at a time and grabbing with the mouse cursor (so clicking and dragging) doesn't seem to work at all. Thanks.
