I feel like they added a lot of technological jargon to the the simple thing that is,
"Every time you click on an ad, we will track it and sell the data to advertisers. But do not worry, the informationis encrypted and only we can decrypt it. Trust me bro."
Edit: that was wrong, 31 is convertible
I might be wrong, but I think I understand why it's happening. Running
$ cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/chassis_type
I am getting the value 31 (detachable), when I think it should be reporting 32 (convertible)
What happens if you press the power button when the device is awake and in tablet mode?
It does nothing.
If anyone could help, that would be great. I am struggling to find an answer after searching for some time.
How to use power button to wake up laptop on tablet mode
cross-posted from: https://piefed.social/post/206134
> Recently I switched to Fedora 40 from Ununtu. Now, I am facing this weird problem, whenever my laptop suspends I cannot use the power button to wake my laptop if it's in tablet mode. It works fine in normal case. Also, this wasn't an issue in Ubuntu. Anyone knows how I can change it? > > I am using a 2in1 laptop (Dell) if it's relevant
Maybe Domino's headquarters in our country decided it was cheaper to keep using they linux port instead of paying for windows license. I make this assumption because this particular outlet was openedafter the covid lockdown. Though, I have no idea of their rationale behind using Ubuntu.
It hasn't been long since I completely switched to linux. I have been using Ubuntu for 1 year. Just switched to fedora (after some distro hopping). Honestly, just so glad to be free from snaps and those awful modifications that they make. Maybe fedora has its own flaws, but for now, I love it.
I saw GrapheneOS is saying that it is not quite the threat as they this article suggests.
I recently saw Domino's Pizza uses this touch device to take customer order that uses some very old version of Ubuntu (with unity DE)
- uBlock
- Privacy Badger
- Language tools (spell checker)
- Mal-Sync (automatically updates Anime & Manga progress with MAL, AniList, Kitsu etc. Supports Netflix, Prime and some high seas website)
If you are in academia and have a lot of pdf of papers, a good way to organize them is just renaming it in the following format
[AUTHORS LIST]_[DATE]_[TITLE OF THE PAPER].pdf
This will help you group papers by same team and sort by as they were published.
Completely off-topic from the original post, but is updoot like the common alternative term for upvote in Lemmy like toot for Mastodon v. tweet for Twitter?
I think LF Energy published a report on how open source is more sustainable. Although, I don't quite remember the details of the report, it was more focused on sustainable projects not linux and such. If you are interested you can find more studies that explore the idea more quantitatively.
The experience varies depending what you are browsing, but for me, it is plenty good. I can use my misskey account, github/gitlab account, can watch YouTube and few other streaming services as well (although how well or if they run at all depends on what streamingservice you use). Webkit GTK has few issues with touch screen devices, like backspace key of on-screen keyboard not working properly or stylus not working properly etc. Also, the PDF view feels a bit janky.
I don't think KDE supports styling libadwaita yet
Technically, even Gnome doesn't officially support theaming libadwaita apps. The unofficial ways all amout to hacky methods at best (applying an user made css on top of the default style).
Lol, sorry, didn't realize that. Thanks for telling me.
Personally, I don't have a problem with ads. And if those ads can support further development on an open source product I get to use for free then that's even better. What I have problem with is privacy intrusive targeted ads. Even before the internet, newspaper, radio had ads. They sure were annoying, but not as bad of a situation as it is now.
EFF Says Mozilla's PPA is better than Google's Solution
> Mozilla’s system only measures the success rate of ads—it doesn’t help companies target those ads—and it’s less susceptible to abuse, EFF’s Lena Cohen told @[email protected]. “It’s much more privacy-preserving than Google’s version of the same feature.”

> Privacy experts say the new toggle is mostly harmless, but Firefox users saw it as a betrayal.

They ship flatpak with their own repo for 5+ years.
The apparmour thing can get pretty annoying if an app you like breaks because of it.
No, webkit is for all those anarchist, anti-establishment people. On a serious note, Gnome Web (Epiphany) is pretty amazing. Other than a few stuff like, Netflix not working (thanks W3C for giving us DRM /s. Also, google and widevine are the worst thing in tech) I have not yet found any particular issue. A very limited number of firefox extensions also work on it.
Isn't the only reason firefox gets google ad money is because google is afraid they would slapped with an anti-trust lawsuit? Firefox getting money from google doesn't seem like a valid criticism.
I couldn't help, so let me ask What about firefox stops you from using it for online shopping?
Firefox has a lot of issues, but maybe we don't have any other option.

Mozilla adds stupid AI stuff with horrible T&C
> PSA (?): just got this popup in Firefox when i was on an amazon product page. looked into it a bit because it seemed weird and it turns out if you click the big "yes, try it" button, you agree to mandatory binding arbitration with Fakespot and you waive your right to bring a class action lawsuit against them. this is awesome thank you so much mozilla very cool
https://queer.party/@m04/112872517189786676
So, Mozilla adds an AI review features for products you view using Firefox. Other than being very useless, it's T&C are as anti-consumer as it possibly can be. It's like mozilla saying directly "we don't care about your privacy".
Why is flathub saying Floorp is proprietary
I am very new to linux and all the open source stuff (my first post on lemmy actually) so I don't get how this stuff works but flathub is saying that floorp is proprietary. But after a quick google search it says that floorp is open source licensed under MPL 2.0
