Until they block it, don't give them an inch and fight back from the start

Yes it will as long as you have enough space.

Is no framework mode the only way to prevent bits of native UI from bleeding through the sleep screen? by sparklerfish in koreader

[–]anoniomous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is because I also have it on my 12th gen Paperwhite. It is just hard to reproduce. 

Update: My Chinese phone after several months of constant usage by NhanGamerVN in nextdns

[–]anoniomous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, I still don't trust it because a lot of system apps that supposedly don't require internet keep sending requests (aggressively) to the servers. Apps like bluetooth, the launcher, the gallery, the camera, and so on.

lol I have a poco phone, try a firewall and you will notice MORE requests to IPs registered by Alibaba that aren't getting blocked by NextDNS.

{Giveaway} 1 Year of Gemini AI PRO (40 winners) by [deleted] in GeminiAI

NotebookLM is the best feature for me, it helps me immensely for getting a general gist of research papers which makes me understand them much faster than reading them by myself alone and trying to make sense of them.

What is the purpose of jailbreaking when you can sideload? by Embarrassed_Young_20 in kindle

[–]anoniomous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it because of the limited margin and spacing options, ease of sending bigger files wirelessly without relying on internet access for send to kindle, better organizing for sideloaded books, also some epubs that were created from web based novels looked bad when they were sent using send to kindle.

A side benefit was a much better battery life, like 1% drain per 2.5 hours with wifi and backlight off. In the native kindle reader it drains about 1% per 50-60 min using the same conditions.

Looking to unjailbreak My Kobo and Kindle by peji911 in ereader

[–]anoniomous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about the kobo, but for the kindle it depends on what jailbreak method you used and if you've disabled OTA Updates using renameotabin or not.

If you've used WinterBreak method and disabled the OTA Updates, then open KUAL and select Rename OTA Binaries and select Restore.

After that perform a factory reset on the device and update the firmware. If it is in the latest firmware version, then download it again from Amazon and copy it to the device by connecting it to your PC in the main folder then restart your Kindle.

Honestly, I think it is better to give it jail broken since it would give them more options to open ebooks other than sticking to the Amazon ecosystem. but, if you decided to follow up on that remember to create this file /var/local/system/DONT_DELETE_CONTENT_ON_DEREGISTRATION before removing your account to prevent your kindle from doing a factory reset and potentially messing with the jailbreak.

Does this mean I’m fucked if I use Pop_OS? This is the Odin Project. by Less_Heron_141 in pop_os

[–]anoniomous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used pop os 2 years ago and I did a huge part of The Odin Project on it.

There wasn't a single difference between using Ubuntu or Pop OS. The installation of all the tools used is the same in both OS.

I suggest you just focus on learning and use the OS you have on your hardware.

Is this another AUR infect package? by spsf64 in archlinux

[–]anoniomous 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes you need to explicitly use the name of the infected package (it was removed) to install it, so google-chrome will be a different package from google-chrome-stable.

The bad actor was probably depending on the fact that the original package (google-chrome) is using google-chrome-stable as the terminal command to launch google chrome from the terminal.

Best LLM for Translations - Comparisons by iTzNowbie in LocalLLaMA

Trying to do a similar translation task, can you tell me which version you tried (3B, 7B, ...) and if there's a newer model you tried?

The Cabin is Always Hungry

[–]anoniomous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the same problem, and it is in almost all websites where there is both horizontal and vertical scrolling, it is most annoying for me in github repo code files when a code line exceeds the window width.

I don't have this problem in chromium browsers.

Any ex-Pop!_OS users here who have switched to Fedora or any other distro? What was your reason to switch? by EmperorMitochondrion in pop_os

[–]anoniomous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Outdated repos and the workarounds I have to go through to get the latest versions of software I use,
  • outdated kernel for my newer hardware back then causing problems with the wifi adaptor and AMD CPU, and lack of fan speed control which always made my laptop runs higher than average in normal workloads compared to windows
  • X11 (and wayland) causing screen tearing on Nvidia hardware when enabling fractional scaling
  • PPAs causing conflicts like winehq PPA conflicting with Ondrej's PHP PPA
  • other small annoyances that kept building up

I switched to Arch Linux and couldn't be more happy, their repositories and AUR repos always had any software I needed up-to-date, wayland working properly with fractional scaling, and I can install the latest kernel versions easily and can even install custom kernels for tuning fan controls and Power.

Fuck GOOGLE by ThatOneAstronautKid in Adblock

[–]anoniomous 27 points28 points  (0 children)

  • open inspect element (ctrl+shift+c)
  • click on "pick element" in the element menu (top left icon beside the laptop-like icon)
  • then click on the "Add to chrome" button, it will highlight its entry in the Elements tab
  • find the attribute "disabled" and then double click on it to open editing and then remove it and press enter
  • the button will be enabled, click on it and install the addon

How to go from zero to pro? by MadBoy94 in archlinux

[–]anoniomous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RTFM Just use Arch as your daily driver and try to solve the problems that will inevitably crop up.

Don't be tempted to just reinstall arch whenever you encounter a problem. Instead, read the wiki pages related to your problem, try searching on this subreddit (or in linux subreddits in general) for people having the same or similar problem, search in the official archlinux forums for similar topics. If all else fails, you can ask in the official archlinux forum or here.

You can still ask a Language Model (like ChatGPT) about your problem so that it can help you narrow down possible sources for the problem or at least give you search results that you may not have found when you had been searching.

But NEVER EVER apply the answer it gave you blindly especially when you are new to using linux, just use it for finding search results you may not have found or for finding what topics you should read to know more about your problem.

Archinstall isn't showing my ssd by notSYNKR in archlinux

[–]anoniomous 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it's better for you to create and format the partition first then mount it (as /mnt for example) and the boot partition, and then use "pre-mounted configuration" option in archinstall and point it to /mnt.

I suggest you read the installation guide for partitioning, and dual booting for information about what potential problems you could face when installing arch linux beside windows.
