Ross is just doing PR basically, you can see the legal organisers of the petition here: https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en

Not familiar enough with this particular project to know, but a quick glance at the commit log shows some overlap in commit authors, so I guess there is at least some level of sharing happening, probably just not through merges.

But being familiar with this kind of project in general, the branches will probably never be fully merged even in the future, just doesn’t make much sense because they are server software targeting very different versions of a game client. There are also two other branches, but they “only” diverged by like one or two thousand commits so far.

Meh, essentially it’s just writing “Telecommunicationsourcesurveillance” as a single word without the spaces to indicate it’s a singular thing being referred to (in this case the concept of directly listening on the source device before encryption happens). Might seem weird I guess, but you get used to it pretty quickly.

It means “telecommunication source surveillance”.

This particular Russian attack seems to have been retaliatory in nature, because right before it Ukraine attacked Russian territory including Moscow with hundreds of drones at the same time.

Reported on here for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBAIalMNCAA
And here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NbxXJJJNZk

I figure the logic of escalation here is something like “If Ukraine can already make massive strikes on Moscow with self produced drones there isn’t much sense in keeping up the range restrictions on NATO equipment anymore”.

I see you there random Krita user! Shill baby, shill!

Isn’t Karma essentially just the delta between upvotes and downvotes you get with some sort of weighting thrown in?

Because you can very much get that delta on here, it just isn’t visible in the default Lemmy interface. If you look at your account through an Mbin frontend for example you can see the “Reputation points” value in the sidebar: https://fedia.io/u/@wittycomputer@feddit.org

Know what you mean, would probably be a worthwhile feature request to make on the bug tracker.

I’m gonna be real with you, I don’t know who or what that is and I deliberately chose to ignore the likely sarcasm, but feel free to enlighten me.

Like I agree it is a better message in the edit, but I fear a lot of people are not ready to hear that yet and still need to work through the original before coming around to this… Still stuck in denial and whatnot.

You can change the zone size by dragging the border with the mouse while you are in the editing mode.

Edit: so drag to 1/3 and 2/3 roughly, split the bigger field again.

So… “man doesn’t exploit man”? Sounds good!

I see you figured it out. Will add an explanation to my post as well, if you hadn’t deleted your reply I would have answered that instead. :)

You have to hold the Shift key while moving a window for it to snap into the tiles you set up. If you just move them normally they have a different snapping behaviour like what you described.

Edit: So as the deleted reply was probably asking, this is how it works in full. If you have the KDE Plasma desktop environment after a certain version (I wanna say 5.6-ish?) you can do the following:

1. Press Windows+T, or as we Linux nerds like to call it Meta+T, to configure your “tiling zones” on your monitors.
2. Hold Shift+LeftClick on the title bar of a window to move them into the “tiling zones” you set up.

Discoverability on this sucks (as much of the Plasma desktop does) but it’s a pretty cool feature.

Seconded, best history channel on Youtube that I know of. Only downside is that there are months between episodes, which isn’t surprising though given the in-depth analysis presented in each.

Well if anything breaks I suspect my add/script blockers first and in like 9/10 cases that’s correct. Had turned fingerprinting resistance on since making that comment three weeks ago, and so far I didn’t run into any problems beyond theming. Although I admittedly only frequent a small set of websites.

Oh it wasn’t that bad. You just had to understand rules, models, layouts, variants, and options. Oh and then of course key codes, syms, maps, states, and modifiers. Oh and then…

Kidding aside though, in this particular case it would have been relatively simple:

If you wanted to enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace sequence to kill the X server by default, you could create a configuration snippet /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-zap.conf containing:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "keyboard defaults"
    MatchIsKeyboard "on"

    Option "XKbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection

This would be equivalent to running the shell command:

setxkbmap -option "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"

I found this in about:config, defaults to true apparently: privacy.resistFingerprinting.randomDataOnCanvasExtract

But you have to enable privacy.resistFingerprinting for it to work first. I enabled that and now the EFF test says “randomized” for the hashes but also Lemmy went from dark to light theme somehow.

Of course, Alabama school, it’s entirely possible that the lesson was complete nonsense.

Nah, from a solely US perspective it’s correct. There were ~1.6 million military casualties in the civil war, and ~1.07 million in WW2. But there were a few more parties involved in WW2, so it’s kind of weird to frame it as less bloody. If you include civilians, estimates range from 70 to 85 million dead worldwide (not including the >20 million wounded soldiers and unknown number of wounded civilians).

Ohhh, that’s what they meant. Thanks for clearing that up, I was really confused by that unexpected US defaultism.
