The exploit isn't that practicable, since it takes a very long time on 32 bit systems, which are ever rarer to see.

Here in Portugal, most display useful info like date, time, outside temperature (with varying degrees of accuracy), as well as services provided by the pharmacy or some general (often season specific) health recommendation.

The use of a bright green sign is, of course, to seek attention, but it's also useful to quickly spot an open place at night, when most are closed and only a few remain opened longer in each town/city neighborhood (called "farmácias de serviço", i.e something like "pharmacies in service"; they usually rotate between themselves each week). Nowadays you can check which places are available at night through a nice website, but the signs remain a useful thing, nonetheless.

The animations are just a culture thing now, I'd guess. Different pharmacies employ different animations, some wackier, some less, though there are very common animations for sure, such as the one where a 3D cross is animated rotating on multiple axis at the same time, making a nice spin back to its original position.
Why? I dunno, they break up the usual info display and help grab attention? I dunno, you get used to it and it mostly gets filtered into the background hehe

I've loved the idea behind Lemmy since I first discovered. At first, I was using lemmy.ml, but then I saw the opportunity to provide a nice space and expand my sysadmin skills. Since there was no Portuguese instance yet, I thought why not create one?
Since then, I've met more people hosting Portuguese services and it has been great :D

For funding, I'm working on two ways: the typical donations and trying to secure support from local FOSS organizations. At the moment, the server costs are not prohibitive and there have been some donations already. I've also been talking to some of those orgs and it's going well :)

No, you can leave it in case someone might be thinking of asking the same. The community isn't really moderated atm either way (though that may be changing soon :tm:).

I feel you lol. I wish less people came to Portugal, especially Lisbon and Porto. It's a bit ridiculous sometimes. The culture people come looking for is slowly dying or becoming a fake version of itself because legit stuff is being pushed out of historical centers, in favor or tourist attracting alternatives. The issue of overpricing (because all the English, German, French, etc, visiting Portugal earn way better than us here in average) is ludicrous, it's becoming harder to enjoy the places we used to go 15 or 20 years ago.
sigh

I didn't know anything about Raddle besides the name until now. But gosh, is that a needlessly toxic pit. There's a poor guy there getting completely beaten up by an admin and some others which seem to be enjoying their time-wasting public bullying. Oh well...

This isn't the right community for support questions, we're more interested in questions that spark discussions. Please avoid posting similar stuff again, and try communities like !linux@lemmy.ml.

Cheers!

The web font would also be cached, and it wouldn't be that big of a resource in the first place. I think being able to copy a comment's content is more important, but whatever.

I went through my subscription list on FreeTube and filtered these out (the list was much lengthier initially :p)

• Alt Shift X — well detailed and narrated videos about fantasy series such as Dune, ASOIAF.
• Captain Disillusion — very well made videos about VFX.
• Computerphile — computer science twin of Numberphile; neat videos about the field with a wide range of guests.
• EthosLab — pretty much the only Minecraft creator I still watch; witty, quiet and virtually the same for a long time.
• hbomberguy — well known video essayist, easily one of the best in the platform
• Jacob Geller — another quality essayist, exploring different themes, such as horror
• Lemino — very well known creator focusing on mysteries, with incredible narration and stunning visuals
• LockPickingLawyer — very simple, to the point and informative channel about locks and lockpicking; also virtually unchanged for years
• Oversimplified — great overviews of major history events and periods, with funny narration and visuals
• Tantacrul — fairly unknown essayist on music, with well researched material and nice takes :P
• Then & Now — possibly my favorite atm (alongside hbomberguy); extremely well researched and presented video essays about history, politics and philosophy; very underrated imo

They could certainly do better, but they do quite a bit yeah.

I use Okular and sometimes Zathura, both can do that through hotkeys (you can also add a button to the toolbar in Okular)

LibreWolf is little more than a custom config for Firefox, they don't do actual development on the engine, which is the important and very technically laborious part.

Agree, but mad props to the Gentoo people too. Nice community and incredible wiki as well.

I have multiple domains and backup addresses on ProtonMail, so technically I have infinite addresses :P

I split mails domains at the identity level, and addresses (under my custom domains, for proton I use their simplelogin integration) are split between services, even though I use my main one in most places still.

As a slight joke (but only slight), ministers and other positions of power. It's incredible how poorly qualified some nominated ministers are, over here...

Democracy should allow anyone to run to be elected, but people nominated by the prime minister for specific ministries, should have some degree of education or experience in the field. Until very recently, there was essentially no assessment of skills. Now there are some forms and whatnot, but I still find it very lacking.

For example, we had a minister over 10 years ago that got his Bachelor's nullified by a court ordering following an investigation of some shady deals with the University.

I've been finding Zulip quite helpful. It's threading model is great and they overall focus quite a bit in the project coordination use-case. You can either self-host it or pay for their managed hosting (which is free for open-source projects), and you can add a plugin to make static HTML pages of streams (aka channels) in order to make stuff indexable and searchable (and iirc this is getting polished and built into Zulip's core).

If you care about accessibility, email is still the best choice — it's mostly text-focused, doesn't need an account (besides what is universally seen as the most basic Internet identity), truly decentralized and has mature tooling. I just haven't found a really good mailing list archive web UI. HyperKitty is good, but isn't quite there for me. lists.sr.ht is neat, but lacks a lot of features. Above all, indexability and searchability (from inside the UI itself) is key.

How can I make using Arch Linux my personality

That cracked me up x)

Anyway, I'd say it's good that the OS is out of your way once set it up. Even though I don't use Arch directly, I like how comprehensive the AUR is (even though there may be repositories more packages, like nix and whatnot), think the ArchWiki (like the GentooWiki) is a very useful resource, even if you use a completely different system.

I run a regional instance (lemmy.pt, for Portugal and the Portuguese language) and I definitely feel the hardships of Lemmy being so small. It's very hard to grow more specialized communities when the overall pull of the platform is so small, since most people looking for ""niche"" topics would rather stick to the bigger communities on Reddit and whatnot instead of opting for the tiny thing going on the Fediverse.

Possibly the first Pirates of the Caribbean. Dunno exactly how many times I've watched, but it's close to 10. It's such an iconic movie, with excellent scenarios, acting, and so revolutionary at the time.
I've watched some older Pixar movies (from their golden age imo) a bunch of times, like Monsters Inc and Nemo, as well as the masterpiece Shrek 2 from DreamWorks.

Yeah Xournal++ is probably the best hand-written note taking and PDF annotation program available on Linux, it's pretty well known. The system settings permission is to honor some global settings you might have enabled, and the file system access is so you can save and open stuff from anywhere, I assume.

lmao never seen such peculiar animations over here, that's crazy

Great comment, cheers!

I just upgraded my Lemmy instance's hardware and finally got IPv6 support :D

I still don't think it's there, but development hss been fast, so a lot has changed and improved in the last couple of months.

I've been a laptop-only guy for over 10 years, here's my take:

At first, I wanted a powerful and colorful desktop computer, so I could play all the games I wanted, maybe touch on some 3D software, and overall have a cool setup. However, I couldn't afford it at all (though times during and after the 2009 crisis, in Portugal), so I ended up just sticking with the handful of years old, 17 inch and 4Kg laptop my older brother had given me.
The years passed and I never bought a desktop. The mobility and versatility of laptops was too good to give up, and having poured many hours into configuring my system (first years of laptop-only coincided with first years of Linux, pretty much) I didn't want to have to manage and sync two different computers. I wasn't aware of Nix and similar OSs, but even that doesn't solve the sync issue. Now my work requires me to take a computer with me, so I must have a laptop. I also work from home quite a lot, but I like to work outside, in the porch/garden.

Nowadays you can get really good and mobile (gaming) laptops, like the ones from XMG (and their sister brands) or even the newer Frameworks (which are also great for other obvious reasons). Even XMG laptops are quite reparable, outside of CPU/GPU failures, and DIY is supported by the seller. I'm currently rocking their XMG Fusion 15 L19 (late 2019), and am incredibly happy with my purchase, it's still in pristine shape!

Of course, this doesn't apply to everyone, but I think a laptop is generally a safer bet, if you know where to buy.
Happy to discuss this further! :)

Edit: Just wanted to drop an very nice laptop-focused channel: Bob Of All Trades. It seems they haven't been very active as of late, but they were very informative and had good guides some years ago, when I was looking for a new laptop.

Yeah, agreed

The last major update was in 2017, bots started plaguing casual mode around 2018/19, and ever since the game has seen anastonishingly tiny amount of updates outside ofhthe usual summer, Halloween and Christmas updates (which just shove community made content from the Workshop into special gamemodes and crates); apart from the recent 64-bit version and the VScript addition a while back, nothing of interest has happened in the last handful of years. F2P lost their ability to call medic and the bot crisis is completely unsolved.

It's sad. But as another user pointed out, at least we have e community servers (and good ones).

It is, the the fault isn't entirely on the tourists (specially if they're respecting and give two fucks about the places they're visiting); the governments have been pushing tons of pro-tourism stuff everywhere for years, hence why we grew that industry so much, often without thinking of long term consequences and economic balance. So now, we have an economy overly dependent on tourism (with all the good but mostly bad stuff that brings), which, in addition to other shitty decisions like massive roadway investment instead of railway (we have one of the best road network in Europe, but a shitty railway one, significantly shrinked down in the last 40 years), have led to lots of serious issues preventing good development of a lot of other industry we could have and once had. The classic example is Algarve (the southernmost region) is so dependent on tourist they had a very hard time during COVID. Outside of Lisbon's (<2M) and Porto's (>1M) metro areas, every other city has less than 500k people, and the vast majority less than 100k, which presents obvious issues.

Anyway, sorry for the shit dump 😅

Was going to say that too. Regardless of the motives and driving forces behind the incredible speed at which the vaccines were developed (i.e. certainly a similar urgency could be applied to other diseases killing thousands and millions in poorer countries, but there ain't as much interest in that), the mRNA technology proved quite powerful and an avenue to continue exploring in future research.

Can confirm that in Portugal, pretty much every single pharmacy has one of these, with varying degrees of wacky 2D/3D animations and info display.

Incredible update, well worth the wait!

Congrats to everyone involved :D

Yeah, hopefully! The instance exists since 2021 and we're still small, even with the 2022 Reddit blackout. A lot of people registered then, but quickly realized Reddit was still bigger and went back. It's a shame, but I'll keep it running for as long as I can.

+1 for lemmy.readme.io, it's much easier to read than a JS lib documentation.

Oh I'm out, been running an instance for two years now 😉
I only still catch up with the situation to help people migrate over here hehe

Yeah I always like to browse those too. You could start a community/post about the shows you're following. I'm thinking of starting something for The Boys, since it's starting now (maybe HotD too?)

Even though there are plenty of great and quickly evolving mobile apps, I use the web interface both on desktop and mobile devices. It's actually quite good, and since I'm a mod and instance admin, the feature completeness is key. Apps are not there yet.

It's not because of features, since fish has tons of stuff as well and is super snappy. Someone pointed out most of those extra features are implemented in zsh itself, rather than in C, like core features.

The Mass Effect trilogy is full of favorite moments for me, but perhaps the most memorable one is when you romance Tali and get(h) to the final push on Earth, in ME3.It's beautiful.
