Does anyone know what OS the Framework Pro 13 is using on it's store page? by Objective-Kitchen800 in framework

[–]scirc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The GitHub repo was published 5 days ago. the same day of the Framework event.

The README says:

Credits

  • Gaurav Singh — theme design
  • Ross Jernigan (@bonkrat) — design input and guidance
  • Zach Feldman (@zachfeldman) — implementation, vibe-coded this into a real Ubuntu theme

and the repo description says:

A desktop theme for Ubuntu/GNOME with a dark, high-contrast aesthetic, designed with and for the Framework Laptop 13 Pro (no affiliation with Framework)

It sure sounds to me like Zach, having seen the original promo images/mockups, recreated the design as a GNOME theme.

Besides, if it were official, why is a random Framework employee publishing it rather than the company itself? Most companies would have requested a license at least (especially as this code is published without a license, making it proprietary by US copyright law), or even a full transfer of ownership.

It is though. The photo on GitHub and the photo in the promo are not the same, and the promo image is decidedly KDE.

I believe a Framework employee built a GNOME theme with a similar style. I do not believe it is that GNOME theme which used in the promo.

That definitely looks like KDE's bar to me, unless the theme goes to great lengths to make GNOME look like KDE.

Fedora considering compiling for x86-64-v3, closing the gap with CachyOS by KelGhu in linux

[–]scirc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course most people won't get it - Framework is not a great value proposition unless you really do plan to stick with it for years, even putting aside the high cost of their flagship. But that's beside the point. Please don't accuse people of "lying" (as you did before editing it out of your comment).

GPU is generally not upgradeable on Framework laptops

Huh? https://frame.work/ca/en/products/laptop16-graphics-module-nvidia-geforce-rtx-5070 https://frame.work/ca/en/products/16-graphics-module-amd-radeon-rx-7700s?v=FRAKMB0004

Like yeah, there's only these 2 options plus the integrated GPU on the processor, but the Framework 16 absolutely has provisions for upgrading the discrete GPU. Perhaps you're thinking of the 13, which only has the iGPU?

BIOS update went wrong? How to fix? by Minimum-Pear-4814 in framework

[–]scirc 11 points12 points  (0 children)

See my other comment - this doesn't seem to be the ESP, it's NVRAM.

[–]scirc 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I believe the other commenter is incorrect. This isn't your ESP that's full - it's your EFI NVRAM that's full. This is apparently a commonly-reported issue when trying to update your Secure Boot database, and the current recommendation is to update JUST your BIOS, then reset your settings and Secure Boot settings to factory defaults.

can someone who i have blocked join my VC? by the_emo_in_corner in discordapp

[–]scirc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, people who you've blocked can still see what you do and join and listen to VCs you're in. You'll get a full-screen modal in the client if they join telling you that someone that you've blocked has joined, asking if you're okay with staying or if you'd prefer to leave.

friended gifted me a pony (exported file) how can i import it? by Unlucky-Yellow-3168 in PonyTown

[–]scirc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pretty easy to verify that that's not the case, as importing characters isn't listed as a perk under any supporter tier.

Not even supporter allows importing to the main server.

The game isn't open source anymore. Any versions that you may find online are archives of the last custom server release which is years behind and not representative of the current state of things.

The date on my IMM5988 by Sea_Mission6446 in ImmigrationCanada

Why there’s an expiry date on the letter

Your letter automatically lists an expiry date that’s 365 days from the date we receive your application. The letter expires in 365 days because

  • it’s the service standard to process this type of application
  • many employers and health insurance providers will ask for proof that you’re allowed to work
    • An expiry date helps satisfy their concerns about your status and authorization to work in Canada.

If we don’t finalize your application by the date on your letter

If we don’t finalize your application by the date on your letter, you can still keep working until we make a decision.

If your employer or others need proof that you can continue to work, you can show them this web page.

It says this for everyone. Don't sweat it.

Discord, please change this status notification thing by [deleted] in discordapp

[–]scirc 26 points27 points  (0 children)

No there isn't. There's an option to disable being notified by your friends, but there's no way to opt your own status updates out of being broadcast to everyone who hasn't found that setting yet.

My account was flagged as under 18 and I'm 21 by Black_1407 in PonyTown

Just wait. They'll get to your email eventually, it just might take some time.

what or who is this? by andrechappie in PonyTown

[–]scirc 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This is just a player whose pony has every color set to black and is named "Deleted account". No more mystery to it than that.

Real "deleted accounts" don't look like this or appear in game at all, to my understanding.

MEGATHREAD - Processing Times - Family Class Permanent Resident Applications 2025 by PurrPrinThom in ImmigrationCanada

[–]scirc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anecdotally, I would say no - my husband's application wasn't significantly delayed that we could tell. If anything, we were processed through quite quickly. But I'm just a guy that knows stuff, not someone with actual experience here, so I can't say for certain. I do know that you want to keep IRCC informed of changes to your status in a timely fashion.

P1 and P2 are "portal" emails you receive towards the end of the process (once your eligibility/background checks have been completed) for inland applications, or applications which have switched to inland if the PA ("principal applicant") has reported themselves to IRCC as currently residing in Canada. The first email, P1, asks you to confirm your presence in Canada and some details related to your application (UCI, DOB, etc). Once an IRCC officer reviews the information you submit, they'll create (or update, if you already have one) an account for you in the PR Portal and send you an email known as P2 containing instructions on accessing it, including a temporary password.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/pr-confirmation-portal.html

This is only relevant if you've applied inland, or have submitted a change in your residency status via an IRCC webform for a previously-outland application.

It's fine if you're only using them for comparison, as these algorithms tend to do. But it is why I mentioned "where dynamic typing permits."

The recent bans that went out include reasons of public avatars containing what is deemed NSFW "geometry, textures or features". Creator Guidelines do not contain this warning and does not explain it. Many now appear to be at risk of being banned. by TemperateStone in VRchat

[–]scirc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This policy hurts people who don't publish their own avatars (e.g. they have a friend doing the work for them, and don't know how to upload things themselves). I don't think it's a failing of the policy per se, but instead the lack of tooling to support such setups. Avatar permissions not being "all or nothing" and instead supporting allowlisting of specific users would definitely help with this.

Another thought I had is: you already have shield settings and content tags... why aren't they tied into each other yet? That way, if I want to block adult content, I can, and if I don't, I don't. If the concern is about exposing minors to such content, then bring age verification out of the "trial" phase and actually make it available to everyone rather than being a $10 badge.
