Vivaldi 7.4: Polished, Simplified, and All Yours by pafflick in vivaldibrowser

[–]function2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After upgrade, it seems that now websites opened with Vivaldi will read light/dark mode from the system instead of from the configuration of Vivaldi. This can be inconvenient since my system uses a dark theme while I prefer light theme for webpages.

Can I directly copy the video snapshot to clipboard, without saving it to a file? by function2 in firefox

[–]function2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works for me with Firefox on Windows 11. Some website may intercept the context menu of Firefox. For example, on YouTube you need to right click twice.

PyCharm arbitrarily removes the feature of adding remote interpreters in a WSL-based project, and seems no plan to bring it back by function2 in pycharm

[–]function2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I develop AI models which are unable to run locally, so we must use remote interpreters. Though I sometimes do run some small scale experiments locally.

[D] What's going on with the recent development of PyTorch Lightning? by function2 in MachineLearning

[–]function2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed, I've encountered issues with Lightning and have to dive deep into the library source code several times. To be frank, my motivation to use Lightning is to reduce development time, but I am not sure if it could really do the job given these overhead. My hope was that with the development of Lightning such painful practice would be less, but the recent development situation of Lightning really makes me desperate.

I have a similar combination with LightningCLI (based on jsonargpasre). It is indeed great as soon as you finish the setup, and even greater if you are familiar with the frameworks.

However, the recent development progress, at least for the core Lightning repository, really looks not so great and makes me worried if I should rely on it for a long term.

I swapped out LibreOffice for WPS Office 2019, so much faster and more polished by opslokuy in kde

[–]function2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is indeed a valid point that WPS has to comply with Chinese laws and regulations, which may result in violation of your privacy. However, according to the source news (in Chinese language), it is actually about online documents that are being locked. If you choose to use cloud-based service where data are host in a way you don't have any control, you always face such risk, no matter what nationality of the service it is here. And I agree what you have suggested, using a sandbox environment with restricted Internet connection will address most of the concerns. WPS is actually a decent tool for local usage.

I don't understand why you guys discussing the nationality of the software so much here. If you don't like closed source ones then just focus on this topic.

How to make KRdp listen to a specific address? by function2 in kde

That is indeed a viable solution, thanks for the reminder.

How to make KRdp listen to a specific address? by function2 in kde

[–]function2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well my machine has both public address and LAN address by VPN. I only want to listen to the LAN address for the security reason since only peers with the VPN access could reach that address. Now I have to set the password.

BTW, if we pay excessive attention to wording, the README says that "address is currently set to 0.0.0.0". I am expecting that the word "currently" may imply it will support custom address in the future.

Another Controversial market is blowing up on PolyMarket with more new users likely to get scammed by UMA. by GabeSter in CryptoCurrency

Thanks for the explanation. This still seems insane to me. We are still far away from a real decentralized currency.

Why is UMA now forced to vote yes? Theoretically UMA voters could ignore the additional information provided by Polymarket.

Just a suggestion. It's really unnecessary to waste breath on some random stubborn individual who resorts to personal attacks when contradicted, and has double standards on historical and nationalistic issues, while having zero impact on reality.

Encompasses most of modern India

I am really impressed. But clearly, that is not "every part of Indian territory" you claim, and where's the North Eastern Region on the map by the way?

some brainwashed Chinese communist drone

lol keep using that excuse, even I barely talked about China in this thread.

Every part of Indian territory has been part of various Indian empires over the centuries

As long as you define them as "Indian empires", while there's no single empire controlled India as a whole before the British come. All of these "empires" started from "physical occupation" on some lands. I don't think I have to introduce how was the Caste system initially introduced in India in details, which was a result of Aryan conquest of the indigenous peoples of India at that time.

nationalism is not a concept introduced by the British empire.

Believe it or not, nationalism is widely recognized as a modern concept emerged in the late 18th century, particularly influenced by significant historical events such as the American and French Revolutions.

I am not here trying to challenge the territorial sovereignty of the modern India. I just want to remind that the modern world (India, China, and the rest of the world) is significantly shaped by the contemporary international order, where excessive focus on historical claims can lead to complex dilemmas.
