People like that just make it harder on people who do need help. Tomorrow they'll come back with an entirely new story. 🙄 #scam

Once again, deleted their old post, and created a new post, making it seem like this is their 1st time asking for help. Previous post said the aid was for their nephew. RE: https://mk.absturztau.be/notes/a96qlbbdxg0o01m7

LibreWolf is such a troll within the Gecko ecosystem, that I used to theorize that it was a group of either Microsoft or Google employees running things. I still would not be surprised in the least if we ever discovered this to be true. RE: https://mk.absturztau.be/notes/a96qq3e2xg0o01my

KDE Plasma (plasma shell) need to fix the bug, that causes it to crash. Usually, when I am away from the computer for an extended period of time. I disabled any of the power save options, so I do not think that is the case.

I am putting in the window ACs (air conditioners) for the season. It's a process. Mostly, because I first have to fit the spring load window mounts, and then I have to tape up all around the side of ACs (preventing any gaps). When I take them out, clean up in the fall is a pain (another […]

@[email protected] I thought Fedi mostly composed of Foxes? :3

people say dragons are a myth but that's not true they're just all on fedi

Suspect scam. 1st it was medication for their father. Then it was money to avoid eviction. Then money for food. Then money for cancer. Then money for a car. They delete their post to make it seem like it is always the first time needing help and their story always changes. Local Note […]

@[email protected] @Zyranka@mstdn.social I got my mother to join Mastodon too. She likes to sharing cooking tips, random DYI, and sometimes things concerning nature She loves cats, rabbits, and other cute animals. @TwittleDee@mastodon.social

Feel free to "bother" my mom on #Mastodon :blobcatgiggle: Show her it's fun here, she loves cats and dogs 😁 Be nice though ❤️ @Zyranka

I am going to watch some anime, take a bath, drink some tea, and just try to forget about my work day, today.

These are the type of people I deal with. Thankfully, not directly, but I still know they're out there.

_sigh_ Today, was a "WhatsApp Day" -- I am thankful not all days are like today. I fucking hate, WhatsApp. Many people decide to stop acting like people, when they believe themselves anonymous. You are not anonymous. If all days, were "WhatsApp Days" I think I'd either lose my mind or have […]

@Linux There is currently a bug with displaying the link in the footer before the effective date of the terms. It will be fixed as soon as possible.

@[email protected] I found it manually typing in the URL, but it should be found somewhere easily on your website. It is not https://mastodon.social/terms-of-service #mastodon #fediverse #termsofservice #tos

@[email protected] Privacy Policy Last updated Oct 06, 2022 I think there should be a footer URL to your TOS. Because on your footer you only list your Privacy Policy.

We've published our new terms of service for mastodon.social and mastodon.online today, effective July 1. The same template will be available as an option to other servers in the upcoming #mastodon 4.4 update. There are no changes to our policies or operations, just clarifications, e.g. if you […]

@[email protected] 1st, the configuration is meant to work with both KDE Plasma and Gnome (user's choice). 2nd, in the past, as I recall, many people claim TLP works great and is independent of KDE or Gnome, allowing the system to continue managing power correctly even if KDE or Gnome don't […]

@Linux why use TLP instead of power profiles daemon with KDE?

@[email protected] The guide is going to be even more detailed. The assumption of the guide is you've never installed an operating system, much less, Linux. For example, a lot of guides tell people to disable secure boot. They never tell the user how you do that. This is only a small […]

@Linux As a non-Nix user this is amazingly-well commented, which is the most important part. Thanks!

I am pretty sure my NixOS config is finished, unless someone chimes in and points something out. - Feedback is very much welcome. Now, to work on the step-by-step guide. I am going to put the NixOS Wiki to shame when I am done.

Improved Accessibility, based on feedback. Accessibility is enabled by default. Because if you don't need it, it's easy for you to disable it. But for someone who needs it, not having it is a problem. 1st thing listed directly under hardware firmware. #nixos #nix #accessibility #linux

I want your criticism. 👀 If there is one thing, Linux users have is an opinion. I have been working on a NixOS configuration that is meant to be new user-friendly, without being overwhelming, and if possible ADHD-friendly too. Ideally, I think it is screen reader friendly as well. The goal was […]

I don't use GIT the same way others use GIT. I do not like GIT. I do like GIT websites. That said, every once in a while Code Berg be like, dude, you should create another branch and stop working in master. No. Just, no. Things would be so much simpler if there was a such a thing as FTP GIT […]

Best privacy policy: Trust no one - including yourself.

Some people would argue with bees, on how honey is made, if it meant you could ignore the truth of the world we live in.

I often joke about what I post and the trolls I encounter. Not because I think it is funny that I was right -- It's not even about being right or wrong, because that's not my goal. I work for Meta, so I don't need to worry about being right, because what I share about Meta is what I know. I […]

Remember that troll who was telling people, I was full of shit, when I said Meta could track you and ID you even if you never logged into your account, used incognito, or used a VPN. -- I do. I've been having a lot of "I told you so" moments, lately.

Delta Chat, is the only federated provider on my whole list, because you can opt out of the Fediverse and use an e-mail provider of your choice. If it did not have that option, I would not have recommended them. RE: https://mk.absturztau.be/notes/a93273qgkh7g00nm

Open WhatsApp, and pick 1 topic to talk about for a lengthy time. For example, DYI Projects. Expect to see ads for DYI Projects in either WhatsApp or another one of Meta's products and services, for example, Facebook. Now ask yourself, if WhatsApp is so private and so secure, how is it that […]

In 2025, Firefox is the new Internet Explorer. The browser wars are over, Firefox lost, and kept on making sure they would lose. An alternative would need: 1) Work with most websites and services. 2) Provide a means to block ads 3) Support DRM Content. 4) Easy to use out of the box, or […]

I am always vindicated -- always. The problem is not if, but when.

Inside WhatsApp, start talking about DYI Projects with Friends. Or start spending your time talking about Video Games. Pick 1 topic and stick to it. Watch as WhatsApp starts to show you ads, about the things you're talking about. Then ask, how do they do that? #whatsapp

> " WhatsApp does not have ads and you're spreading misinformation, Adam. " Oh, really? -- I told you all this was coming! #whatsapp RE: https://mastodon.social/users/arstechnica/statuses/114694400887485589

Google scrapes every Google Doc for both their AI and information for their marketing. Every time you rely on them for a survey, you're feeding Google Gemini while helping them market ads.

For a list of true Linux distros, developed and designed in Europe, and not dependent on America's Fedora Linux, you have a few to choose from, including Mageia (France, Europe), which like Fedora works well with RPM packages and Flatpak […]

As some of you may have already noticed, in the latest #mastodon update, we've reworked the layout of the web app for smaller screen sizes. It should be easier to navigate and more pleasant to the eye. Let me know what you think!

A reminder, that should EU_OS every become more than an idea concept, it would not truly be a European OS, because they are insistent to rely on the America's IBM's Fedora Linux, the free upstream to CentOS and IBM's Red Hat Linux. This could be resolved, of course, if they hard forked Fedora […]

Someone shared this gem recently but I can't find it nor recall who anymore(feel free to mention so i can edit) Very strong!

@Linux I would be puzzled too. One wouldn't think it would be all that popular. 🤷‍♂️

I doubt anyone has any interest in the "250th Anniversary of the U.S. Army Grand Military Parade" that took place yesterday, but if you do, it is on YouTube. I did not watch it all, but I found it amusing that they kept focusing on the same crowd, and tried to hide the fact that just a little […]

Managing a firewall for an enterprise or basic solution is easy, because you only have a handful of ports to worry about, and you close up everything else. Managing a firewall for a consumer -- So many damn apps, services, and random devices that I just tell people to depend on their router's […]

@[email protected] Well, if it were just people around here posting about it, I would dismiss it as misinformation making its round. But it originated from the Middle East, which caught my attention. It could still be misinformation. Their Supreme Leader is not exactly a popular […]

@Linux I wouldn’t be shocked if it were the case but I’m not believing anything until proven beyond reasonable doubt. Too much reasonable doubt exists right now.

Take this with a big grain of salt, because we do not, fact check, anymore on Meta. But there is a growing "trend" on Facebook that would imply, Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, is dead. I see no news reports concerning this, so it likely is all fluff - It happens. But if it is true, that […]

In 5 years, America will have no genuine automotive industry. Stellantis, General Motors, Ford Motor Company, and Tesla will either go under, or the brand will technically continue as proxy to Chinese cars. #automotive #automotiveindustry #cars

Stupid technology. Just "do". 😂 (My thoughts for voice to text, today)
