Yeah, I very much feel like most uses of that lighting have no idea that it’s the bi flag colors and rather just think it looks cool.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Why are there no hard forks of Firefox, Chromium, WebKit, or other browsers?
1·3 days agoIt was one of the stated goals for Servo itself to be designed like that. But I don’t think anyone at Mozilla expected Servo to take over from Gecko. They were already quite happy that they were able to incorporate Servo’s style engine and URL bar implementation and such into Gecko.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Why are there no hard forks of Firefox, Chromium, WebKit, or other browsers?
3·3 days agoI don’t think that’s quite right. The Linux kernel, Firefox and Chromium all sit around 30 millions lines of code, last I checked, so if you add the rest of the operating system, it should still have more lines of code than the browser.
But yes, similar order of magnitude.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Should we ditch the idea of three meals a day?
71·4 days agoI’ve found that I’m actually less hungry throughout the day, if I skip breakfast. So, even when I then have lunch, I’m satiated much quicker.
My working theory is that my stomach shrinks when empty, in particular throughout the night. So, if I don’t shove down breakfast in the morning:
- My stomach can shrink even smaller until lunch.
- There is less empty space in the non-stretched stomach, so less hunger.
- When I do eat lunch, the smaller stomach fills up quicker, meaning I shove down less food for lunch, too, and therefore my stomach doesn’t get particularly stretched until dinner either.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Were low-bass singers a thing before amplification?
3·5 days agoI mean, not everyone has to train their voice to sing low notes. If it’s just your natural range, you won’t have much choice but to sing bass.
Anecdotal, but I’ve also had to be called back the one time I was singing in a choir, because I was too loud compared to the rest.
To some degree, I imagine that’s a physics thing, due to having a larger (resonance) body and being able to push more air through the longer vocal cords. But of course, you also simply don’t need to be as present as the melody on top.
Nah, I first saw this photo many years ago…
Ephera@lemmy.mlto/c/cybersecurity - Cybersecurity News & Discussion@lemmy.ml•Meta confirms thousands of Instagram accounts were hacked by abusing its AI chatbot
5·5 days ago“The tool itself worked properly and functioned as intended; however due to a bug in a separate code path, the system did not properly verify that the email address provided by the individual requesting a password reset matched the email address associated with that user’s Instagram account,” said Meta in its breach notice.
Why is the chatbot providing the e-mail address in the first place? It should just have a function it can call that triggers an account reset mail to be sent for a given account, with no other parameters.
This statement reads like they wanted to shield their use of AI from critique, but in making it, they’ve admitted to a level of carelessness which could very well get them sued under the GDPR. What a load of hubris.
I kind of want to try it now, though. It’s a thing to fry rice before you cook it, so maybe you can also do that with oatmeal?
Hmm, seems to work like you want for me. Using Plasma 6.6 with the icons-only task manager…
Coming at it from the Rust ecosystem, I’d primarily opt for uploading release binaries somewhere. You don’t particularly need a setup script, since Rust programs are generally self-contained.
Publishing a package in addition to that really isn’t hard, but would be my secondary choice, since users are not likely to have
cargoon their system.
Well, andcargocompiles on the target machine, which is great for supporting unusual architectures, but you may have C libraries included where it’s just a gamble whether you can compile them on a given target system.
Should perhaps add that you can generally run Linux distributions off of a USB stick for that first impression.
Just follow a tutorial for how to install Linux and when you see the actual installer on screen, you can just close the installer without installing and then click around in the UI.
It will be slow, because it’s running off that slow USB connection, but otherwise this is pretty much the operating system as it is when fully installed.
Lots of folks also like the unmarketable names, because you know that it’s not a corporate project. You’re hearing about it, because it’s actually good, and not just because some startup got VC money to do marketing.
Heck, the reverse is true as well. This project is better specifically because it has that name. You just know some transfemmes are tirelessly hacking away at it, because they enjoy the silly name.
Oh man, that’s almost completely lost to compression in the post…
Yeah, it’s definitely a trope to make it obvious to the viewer what’s happening, and of course, to build up drama.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•There are basically 4 types of files : text, image, audio and audio visual, right ?
8·7 days ago“Archive” is probably the word you’re looking for.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•There are basically 4 types of files : text, image, audio and audio visual, right ?
3·7 days agoWell, unless it is an in-memory database (which isn’t too common), it needs to be stored on disk at some point. And for storing things on disk, you use one or more files.

I mean, it’s used in English as well. Lots of English words originated in French…




















I find that setting the power profile to “Power-Saver” makes a huge difference.
KDE has support for that built-in, although I’m not sure, if distributions install the corresponding daemon on desktop systems: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/power-profiles-daemon
You should be able to cycle through power profiles with Meta+B on KDE.
You can also see and change the profile via the systray icon for the battery, but on a desktop system, that presumably won’t be shown by default.
Otherwise,
powerprofilesctlis also an option, as described in that link.
