  • What cheap tool/gadget do you use that greatly improves your daily life?
  • I'm pretty fond of these little Velcro straps I got from Amazon that are like 10cm x 30cm, you use them to push all your computer cables into them so you can neaten them up. I've got several of them strapped back to back and it's a pretty decent solution (and being Velcro you can just pull it apart later on)

    Why am I being suspended?
  • I'd also argue that regardless of the server size, it takes literal seconds to explain why your account is getting banned, it's absolutely within the realm of reason that if your system allowed automated signups that you as an admin have an obligation to not be a shitcunt and at least give a reason as to why you're banning accounts.

  • I recently open sourced my network file transfer app.
  • Great work mate β™₯️

  • Deleted
    *Permanently Deleted*
  • I still occasionally run across the odd dodgy website that tried to disable zooming (along with other oddities like trying to disable right clicking on desktop) and it feels honestly that most of these annoyances come about because some asshole in the company (the CEO, lead designer, marketer, whatever) sees any changes to their websites from the user as "ruining the experience", disregarding the whole concept of accessibility in the modern web

    About four months ago, I ditched my Steam Deck for Asus' ROG Ally. But with some distance, I'm going back to Valve's handheld. Here's why.

    How do y’all handle online dating while balancing privacy concerns?
  • Make sure to never include your face when sending nude pics. Plenty of anonymous dick pics out there.

  • LemmyWorld forced to close shitposting community due to CSAM spammers
  • It's a shame it's not written in a PHP framework or something that's more common. Plenty of devs have been helping about contributing to kbin development, it sounds like it's a lack of manpower on Lemmy's end that's contributing to this

  • Why are trending posts on Mastodon mostly negatively politically oriented?
  • I thought the selling point behind most Twitter like services is that it's focused on negative positioning. E.g. things that are negative focused get more attention and engagement

  • German Chancellor defends his policy of supporting Ukraine to boos and whistles of far-right
  • Boos are just IRL downvotes, perfectly valid to just ignore them if you know you're right

  • ProtonMail Complied with 5,957 Data Requests in 2022 - Still Secure and Private?
  • The best take on here. The reasonable one that still highlights how much better it is compared to other mainstream services

  • A reminder that kbin is still violating the zlib license of Postmill (the software that powers Raddle)
  • I'd like to highlight that there's been a recent PR that's added the licensing to several files

  • Linus Tech Tips apology video - BEST PARTS
  • Gamers Nexus (another highly respected tech YouTuber) called out LTT for their mistakes and performances over the last few years, the overall point being that they're moving too fast and causing multiple mistakes in their content.

    There's a current controversy with a company called Billet who gave LTT a custom water block to test and instead of testing it properly with the 3090 it was made for, they tried it with a 4090 card (and it obviously didn't work)

    Linus doubled down on their results saying it wouldn't have mattered anyway because it's a rubbish product and no one should buy it (which came across very poorly, why even agree to test a product if you know your going to trash on it)

    The whole situation specifically looks like it's triggered some upcoming changes in LMG and hopefully the outcome is better, more accurate video content

  • Are we just really posting selective parts of this video? I could have sworn that when journalists / the media do this everyone is up in arms about bias and creating a narrative, but when we do it I guess it's fine?

    Samsung gave some meaningful upgrades to the Galaxy Tab S9 series. But an Android tablet is only as good as the software it serves, yet One UI seems ignorant.

    What are our experiences with Android tabs nowadays? How's the software side of Android going compared to how to was years ago?

    8 BEST Motherboards For i9-13900K [2023] - Tech4Gamers

    What motherboards are you guys using for your high end CPUs? I stuck with a standard Z790 Gigabyte board for my 13900k. The main selling points I found when I was looking was that more expensive boards usually supported higher memory frequencies / timings and provided extra headers and M.2 slots.

    I've got my system running 6400MHZ DDR5 memory and by the looks of it, once you go over 7k or beyond the gaming performance seems negligible?

    What actual tangible benefits are the 500/600/700 dollar boards bringing?

    Found an issue or bug on kbin.social? Help report it. We're keeping track of issues and working on improvements daily
    codeberg.org kbin-core

    Kbin is a decentralized content aggregator and microblogging platform running on the Fediverse network.

    kbin-core

    There's a heap of devs working on bug fixes and improvements to the kbin.social website. If you run into a bug or find something strange, it would be great if you can report it on codeberg.

    With third party apps going away, I'm expecting an influx of new people who will join kbin.social over the next few weeks. The project has taken shape rapidly and it's exciting to see the progress that's been made.

    I've been working through a range of UI/UX issues focusing on mobile but any reports, along with images or use cases are super handy to people looking at the issues list.

    PowerDeleteSuite is a quick and easy way to purge / mass update your Reddit Comments before the API changes come in effect.
    github.com GitHub - j0be/PowerDeleteSuite: Power Delete Suite for Reddit

    Power Delete Suite for Reddit. Contribute to j0be/PowerDeleteSuite development by creating an account on GitHub.

    GitHub - j0be/PowerDeleteSuite: Power Delete Suite for Reddit

    The third party API changes come into effect tomorrow (1/7/2023) so now's a good time to either purge or edit your existing content.

    There's still no guarantee that Reddit wont just revert your changes (which they've notably done to a few people so far), but at least editing your comments before you delete your account is one way you can let them know how dogshit their handling of this situation has been.

    This thing was as easy as adding it to your bookmark bar on desktop, signing into old.reddit.com and pressing on it.

    It's a shame to lose years of great posts and comments but with how poorly Reddit has engaged with the community over this, there's no point sticking around.
