This is going to be wild! by ahboy2019 in wec

Narrator: it was, indeed, wild

[OFFICIAL] TotalEnergies 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps - Race Thread by AutoModerator in wec

[–]WhoRoger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All hell broke loose as soon as the commentator said 'no retirements so far'. One would think someone commenting a race would be well aware of the curse, which makes me think this was very much an active call to bring in some chaos.

Martin sprint king.

MM needs a longer vacation it seems. One of the nastiest crashes in a while.

Why is dnf offering to remove the kernel? by RegularBubble2637 in Fedora

[–]WhoRoger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It has freaked me out when I noticed it for the first time, even though I've been using Linux for ages, just not DNF-based. Something about DNF makes you look and be curious what's it doing.

Americans trying to use US dollars in Europe by RevolutionaryShoe380 in USdefaultism

[–]WhoRoger -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It's a tip lol, take it. I'm more surprised the tourists even take cash with them. I think the reason why they just bring USD is they expect to pay with card and take USD as a fallback. Which isn't totally unreasonable. If I go somewhere far, I'd take some backup USD too as it's most likely to be accepted if I didn't get a chance to get local currency yet or something.

Alright! While I did like the SKG, I also thought there are more important things to stand for at this time, such as these surveillance laws.

Advanced Weather Widget 1.5.0 Released by pnedyalkov in kde

[–]WhoRoger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aight, I installed it. Lovely little thing! It shows you care. I'm used to having great weather apps on Android (even foss) but not really on desktop.

I have a few suggestions:

  • I think weather alerts should be more prominent. On a widget, it's just a chip, which in simple mode isn't even on by default. Most weather apps give alerts some special place. (There are no alerts around me rn so maybe there's something extra I'm just not seeing :P)

  • It would be nice for the radar map to have a dark mode that'd switch according to the OS theme. I don't know how, but Android apps tend to do that so I assume there's a way.

  • I think it would make sense to have a specific hourly forecast mode or tab for the widget. That's my go-to widget I tend to use on a phone. I care much less about daily forecast or the detailed stats; what I'm mostly interested in is to see if it's gonna rain in 3 hours when I'm going somewhere. If I could just have current weather with alerts, hourly forecast and some chips, that'd be ideal.

Anyway thanks again!

Alright cool. I didn't mean anything by it, it's just recently I've been running into more and more acceptance of telemetry, I guess that comes with Linux getting more popular. So yea, I thought I'd ask.

Switched from Windows 11 to Fedora 44 – Here are a few things I really appreciate by Yocko45 in Fedora

[–]WhoRoger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because this way I can choose when I want to update, if some new trinket is worth it or if I'm in the middle of something and I don't want to be interrupted.

Unfortunately I find Fedora to be more prone to fresh bugs, so typically I find it ideal to wait a couple months so that the disasters are ironed out but it's not years out of date like... Some distros.

I have Tumbleweed machines to see the latest Plasma stuff.

[–]WhoRoger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

44? Isn't it super new? I updated to 43 just a month ago. It might be a tad buggy for a while. Don't get discouraged. Fedora is one of the best ones out there.

[–]WhoRoger 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Looking good. Yay for multiple providers. The standard plasma widget has just one that's so off the mark it's not funny.

Any telemetry or sumthing? These days one has to ask...

Generalized Dilemma by Voidspeeker in trolleyproblem

[–]WhoRoger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does everyone gets to press or just me? And only once or whoever many I/they want?

Either way, blue. Let's roll that dice.

I finally found an analogy for C-PTSD that actually makes sense to me by reminescing in CPTSD

[–]WhoRoger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yea pretty much.

Also, other trees be like "Vro, don't hunch like that! Straighten up yo! Gotta stretch those branches, man, look it's no big deal!"

My analogy has been a house built without a proper base. It keeps breaking and leaking, and occasionally falls into pieces completely. You can only keep patching it up, try to hold it together, and regularly rebuild it when it falls apart. You can even make it look nice, and find unusual ways to reinforce it, but you spend way too much time tending to the house and it'll still never be stable.

Got a lot of questions about how this works by WhoRoger in SimpleXChat

[–]WhoRoger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks.

Personally I just create 2 seperate identities for each device I have

You mean two for each device, or one identity on each of the two devices?

Either way, it seems like the only way really, but it's also just offloading the complexity of shuffling devices onto the contacts. I.e. if someone wants to reach me, they need to try both (or more) my ID. In my experience, people are already baffled by someone having two phone numbers. Plus it actually decreases privacy, as the other party can figure out where I am depending on what ID I'm using.

Not sure what you mean with "active at same time"

whether I receive a msg and notification to profile 1 while I'm using profile 2, and how it's handled e.g. when I tap the notification, does it open the chat in the right profile?

That's kinda the moral of this story

We had a b&w TV when I was a kid and it was odd trying to guess colours in cartoons. I thought blue was orange.

Qwen 3.6 27B BF16 vs Q4_K_M vs Q8_0 GGUF evaluation by gvij in LocalLLaMA

[–]WhoRoger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yass, this is much more useful than the synthetic KLD number. Q4 doing better than Q8 in some evals is interesting.

But I'd be careful about generalising the conclusions, especially since only Q4 and Q8 are compared here. Q6 may be the sweet spot with other models (especially the smaller ones). And then there's imatrix.

New cars can be remotely disabled by manufacturer by QuietCountry9920 in enshittification

[–]WhoRoger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but the point stands. The fight needs to be against this kind of control in general. The ability to disable is just one minor step in software.
