I'm an autistic and ADHD geek. I'm also an aspiring Linux sysadmin. I love Warframe, The Witcher, forest and ocean facts, cats, and tech. I'm always looking to learn new things. I live by a rule of 'live and let live', except when someone is hurting or trying to force their way of life onto others.

Zen Browser: A New Privacy-Focused Browser(Firefox)
  • I've not actually tried librewolf, so I can't give an exhaustive list of differences, but one of the main ones is going to be the UI. Zen has it's own UI that's specific to zen and made to be very customizable. Also the librewolf site said ublock is already installed, but isn't on zen, so you would have to set that up on your own. Plus it looks like the security features for zen are the same as the default Firefox security features, whereas librewolf has some additional security features.

  • This AI Tool Helped Convict People of Murder. Then Someone Took a Closer Look
  • That's what I'm guessing. What I was trying to say was that having a printer powered on and connected to the internet while next to a roadside crime scene seems a bit suspicious.

  • This AI Tool Helped Convict People of Murder. Then Someone Took a Closer Look
  • In 2021, Midland County, Texas sheriff’s deputies were investigating the murder of a woman whose burned body had been found in a roadside field.

    The sheriff’s office asked Cybercheck for help and received a report claiming that the algorithms had determined, with 97.25 percent accuracy, that Cerna’s cyber profile had pinged a wireless LaserJet printer near the crime scene the day the victim’s body was found.

    I'm not saying it's impossible, but what is a LaserJet printer doing next to a roadside field? Or did I misread this?

  • Taliban To Impose Media Ban On Images Of Living Things.
  • Just under the article was a video about how they also banned music. With all these strict, bizarre rules, I wonder what you are allowed to do there besides stare at the wall.

  • SanDisk introduces the first 8TB SD and 4TB microSD cards - Liliputing
  • Right, the 1Tb of internal storage and the 1Tb SD card is still really cramped if you play a lot of games

  • We need more games like The Stanley Parable, so I'm making one! Please share ideas and suggestions about what you want to see in this type of game!
  • I played the demo and I really liked what you had so far. I just wished I could have held down a button to dispense those doughnuts versus having to mash it, which was really uncomfortable for me. Also I would like to see the game get steam deck verified.

    I think having the story revolve around the developer trying to continuously create bigger and more elaborate obstacles for the button would be the best way to go, with plenty of opportunities for mischief in the process as you're trying to get through them.

    Another thing I would love to see is some Easter eggs like the companion cube from the portal games. Can't think of anything thing else at the moment, but I'll keep posting replies as they come to me.

  • So what do I tell the doctors who can't care for their patients when I start work today? That it's their fault leadership chose the software they did? Or do I swallow my pride and put the patients before everything else? Personally, I'm going to choose the latter as the patients wellbeing comes before my opinions about my hospitals choice in software.

  • While I get your point on the over reliance on Microsoft, some of us are going to be stuck spending the whole day trying to fix this shit. You could show some compassion.

  • 2500 is still a tragedy, especially when a good portion of those deaths were preventable

  • If we get two sets of chromosomes, how does our body decide which genes to use?
  • I didn't mean to imply it was bad. I'll reword my comment.

  • If we get two sets of chromosomes, how does our body decide which genes to use?
  • Some genes are dominant and some are recessive. Dominant genes override recessive genes regardless of which parent it's inherited from. Some genes that simply aren't compatible with each other are altered during fertilization. These altered genes are called mutations. Some are beneficial, some are harmful, but most are benign. Some genes only come from the Mother, which would be the genes for the mitochondria. While some will only come from the father, which would be the genes for the nucleus.

    As for X and Y chromosomes. The X chromosome contains a lot of info you need in order to live while the Y chromosome just codes for what makes a being male. If you have a defective gene in your X chromosome and are male, chances are that it's going to present itself. If you're female, it depends on if that gene is dominant. One notable case is the genes for the cones in your eyes. They reside in the X chromosome and sometimes one of those genes has mutated. If you only have the mutated version you may be unable to see some colors. As [email protected] pointed out, this has advantages and disadvantages.

  • When I upgrade my packages, it says that the pgp signature of every package is wrong. But I know that that's not right. How do I stop this message from happening?
  • Your welcome. And if you get stuck reading the arch wiki, it's worth reading it again just to make sure you didn't miss anything.

  • You also need to sync NTP. That's the service that checks the internet to ensure the time is correct. On top of that you might want to ensure the timezone is set correctly. Also, consider reading the section on cleaning cached packages and changing your key server.

  • Is anyone else having problems saving their bio and avatar?

    It might be related to this bug: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4003

    It doesn't seem to block all special characters though. I was able to put square brackets in the title.

    EDIT: for some reason it allowed single quotes when editing my post. Maybe it was just the '&' that was causing issues.

    EDIT2: '&' doesn't seem to cause issues in posts either. It may just be effecting the bio and nothing else.

    EDIT3: I'm getting an error that says: SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data when trying to upload an avatar. I'm removing [solved] from the title for now. I'm also going to submit an issue on github later.

    EDIT4: fixed some formatting issues

    EDIT5: putting '&' in a code block causes issues. It's because of this bug: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3754
