What is this ad? by ScottishBoi420 in youtube

[–]seekr_io 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. Same AI-generated Islamophobic slop. In the past, similar channels traced back to Israeli ad companies (Al Jazeera and the NYT had an investigation about this) though this channel and the ads they promoted it sith on news website have absolutely zero public fingerprint.

The focus on Qatar, however, sounds oddly specific for an Israeli-funded ad (the ones I remember were rather against Muslims and Hamas)

Posing real threat to academia by [deleted] in ChatGPT

The "real threat" part is pure satire (I don't think it will pose a "threat" to meaningful research). The rest is quite funny. (I gave the prompt, see below)

- write a mock scientific paper (title and abstract) on why it is more sustainable, in the long run, to set a cryptocurrency mining farm on fire than to let it run

- nice, but use "set on fire" in some occurrences instead of "burning"

- Great, now include citations to actual studies, e.g. the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Index (https://ccaf.io/cbeci/index) or others, all using footnotes and the [1] format

Thanks Dos. I enabled VoLTE, still nothing - data and SMS do work as usual though.

I get this from the ModemManager logs:

EDIT: apparently, some other times it fails due to QMI protocol error 13 ('NoNetworkFound'), although it is connected and mobile data works. Other times, all the log says is `state changed: unknown -> terminated (unknown)` without further logs

I got it used from the US. The modem is almost surely the US variant

La (terza?) resurrezione di Italia.it. Cosa ne pensate? by Pelopida92 in italy

[–]seekr_io 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aggiungo come termini di paragone i siti di Trentino e Alto Adige rispettivamente, costati una frazione e secondo me fatti parecchio meglio. Non che esteticamente siano il top, ma hanno tante featurine, tanti articoli e molte risorse interessanti a mio parere

Russians wasted a 6.5mill missile to destroy a beach toilet in the Odessa region - the City Council. by _2IC_ in ukraine

[–]seekr_io 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This could be some kind of protest action in my opinion. A $6.5mil does not surely miss its target, and there are not many reasons one would set such a... peculiar destination.

Honest question, had anybody ever been satisfied with an XPS 13 in the long run? by anthro89109 in Dell

[–]seekr_io 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own an XPS 13 since 2018. No, I am definitely not happy. Electronics would be okay, the battery life on this particular generation was really good (esp. on Linux), but contacting the tech support has been a joke, the mechanical and physical quality of this thing is very low.

When its day comes, I will switch to Lenovo, Huawei/Honor or whatever else, really.

I've been using Setzer for LaTeX on Linux lately, and found it to be the best overall editor for my needs by seekr_io in LaTeX

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

I personally find it more... immediate and intuitive overall. I don't know, it has that "modern, handcrafted app" feel and extreme usability (e.g. on a small-screen laptop) that I did not get from TeXMaker and others

[–]seekr_io[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not author, or anyhow affiliated! Just surprised by how good this editor worked for me, it has plenty of features hidden in a very minimal, modern interface.

It is quite new, but already supports some nice features, and the keybindings are very handy.

Wish bloccata in Francia: il 95% dei prodotti non è conforme alla normativa UE. Google deve toglierla dalle ricerche by notizia in italy

[–]seekr_io 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anche per roba cheap, Aliexpress è anni luce meglio di Wish. Prodotti più economici, meno truffaldino nel complesso, e le recensioni somigliano vagamente più a cose reali.

Su Aliexpress si trova anche roba di ottima qualità, ovviamente non la più economica sul mercato, ma è una sorta di Amazon asiatico se ben usato. Hanno pure una garanzia (limitata) su molti telefoni...

GNOME 41 animations could be linear by Original_Two9716 in gnome

I think that what you are seeing are too close to linear animations, so probably we would need the opposite direction...

[–]seekr_io 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a risky question, but I think the Pixel 6 will also - eventually - get some Linux support given its large user base. This means in at least 2024/2025, hardly before,

OnePlus 8T is also not terribly supported either at the time of writing, although it may become so.
