I'd appreciate it if everyone could just stop burning fossil fuels, please. Thank you for your cooperation.

  • Linux's Modern NTFS Driver Will Now Correctly Handle Symlinks Created On Windows

    Jump

  • It seems to have been a win 7 innovation. Personally I gave up on it after XP.

  • How do you discover new music in 2025?

  • Linux's Modern NTFS Driver Will Now Correctly Handle Symlinks Created On Windows

  • Windows can do symlinks now? Watch out, they're slowly catching up.

  • What's a movie you can watch often and it never gets old?

    Jump

  • The greatest cinematic masterpiece of the 21st century, of course: Shrek

  • Brits can get around Discord's age verification thanks to Death Stranding's photo mode, bypassing the measure introduced with the UK's Online Safety Act. We tried it and it works—thanks, Kojima

  • On the Internet, nobody knows you're a repatriate full of cryptobiotes.

  • Would eating a 3.75Oz tin of sardines a day raise concerns about consuming too much mercury or lead?

    Jump

  • Most of the mercury that ends up in the environment due to coal is from emissions that happen when it is burned. It settles all over the land and eventually gets washed into the ocean.

    Building renewables does not solve this problem; only ending the use of coal will do that. For now, worldwide coal use remains near record highs.

  • Wayback 0.1 Released As First Preview Release For X11 Compatibility Layer

    Jump

  • Oops.. didn't mean to delete my comment with the edit. It was imagining that this would have the main benefits of Wayland without having to give up X, or something like that, which sounded good to me.

    (edit: lwn has a comment that explains it. Sounds pretty good for those of us who enjoy font and geometry rendering from the '80s.)

  • Microsoft's Secure Boot UEFI bootloader signing key expires in September, posing problems for Linux users

    Jump

  • manufacturers could add support for the new key by updating the KEK database

    Oh right, the KEK database. They are literally trolling us aren't they.

  • Removed

    Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits

    Jump

  • The morally correct course of action for an international Internet-based business facing this situation would be to cut all ties with the UK, make sure you have no business presence there at all, and then duly ignore their laws.

    But that might make the shareholders unhappy I guess.

    Do you ever revise your upvotes for a particular sub-thread/conversant when you get the sense they are either bad-faith or do not have sufficient knowledge to justify their participation or comments?

    Jump

  • brb I'm just going to take a few minutes to go through my records and see if any of my recent upvotes need revising in light of your latest comment.

  • Locked

    Linux suffers from a lot of unaddressed security problems.

    Jump

  • Worst of all, root access is often granted to humans — a species known to be vulnerable to the most idiotic phishing scams you could imagine.

  • Which Distros Are Doing Best Currently?

    Jump

  • Debian is still the best at being Debian. I rate it the least likely to give me any unpleasant surprises.

  • What to do with too many raspberries and strawberries?

    Jump

  • Yeah making jam is quite easy. Basically just add some sugar and pectin and put it on the stove until it's jam.

    Otherwise, put them in the freezer.

    Who are the users of Lemmy.World?

  • Huddled masses yearning to breathe free

  • What is your up- & downvote behaviour?

    Jump

  • I have only one strict rule: I see the Moomin comic, I upvote it.

  • Mod managers for Linux?

    Jump

  • Mostly I just install Skyrim mods manually because I'm insane I guess, but for some games I like to run Mod Organizer 2 under proton. Your whole linux filesystem can be made accessible to windows programs, not sure if it is by default. But anyway since we're talking steam games here the game itself normally will be in the same place as usual, as far as windows programs know.
