Can I install linux on this?
  • I mean, the internals might just be the ones of a tablet or something. With android I'd be guessing its an ARM chip

  • [Serious] What's your hot take?
  • Because you're on the same instance, I suppose

  • Erster Montag-Laberfaden an neuem Org
  • Danke für diese informative Antwort.

    Bei der BA habe ich bereits angerufen, die haben auch schon eine Aufforderung an den ehem. Arbeitgeber geschickt. Arbeitssuchend habe ich mich auch rechtzeitig gemeldet.

    Das mit dem Vorschuss ist aber eine mir neue Info! Das werde ich mir mal genauer anschauen.

    Einen schönen Tag wünsche ich dir!

  • Erster Montag-Laberfaden an neuem Org
  • Mein ehemaliger Arbeitgeber (der mir während krankheitsbedingter Abwesenheit gekündigt hat) stellt sich quer eine Arbeitsbescheinigung auszustellen, weshalb ich erst verspätet meinen ALG Antrag stellen konnte. Hab aktuell kein Geld auf dem Konto und ca 50€ stecken. Miete für den Monat ist gezahlt, aber sonst nichts. Mal schauen wie der Monat so laufen wird, und wann die erste Zahlung vom Amt kommt... Oder ob ich noch mehr Stress mit meinem Stromanbieter bekomme.

    Will wegen Depressionen nicht sofort wieder in eine 40h Stunde springen, aber 10-20h Minijobs sind gar nicht so leicht zu finden.

  • [Serious] What's your hot take?
  • How is this a hot take

  • It's painful to not be able to see everything at once.
  • I use Xfce for my media laptop and was wondering why anyone would use virtual desktops when the buttons on the top panel are so tiny and annoying to click

    Then I recently found out you can move your cursor all the way to the left or right edge and scroll with your mouse wheel to switch virtual desktops.

    Made me consider actually using virtual desktops lol

  • What are the major world news that you got from weird sources (and maybe wish you had heard first from legit news sources)?
  • I watched a conspiracy theory video with a friend for laughs in early 2020. I think January or February. It mentioned some kind of virus from china that was gonna take over the world. We laughed about it.

  • just found a flea on our cat, do we go full nuclear?
  • Yeah, but my point was that people generally spend money on things that make them happy. That could also be treating a friend to lunch, but that's not usually $20k.

    So I guess what I was trying to say was, why is it suddenly a problem to spend $20k, when it's a pet and not something else, that clearly does not create any financial gain but only gives joy to the person spending the cash?

  • Is there a chat/dating app that isn't complete shit and pay wall restricted?
  • That's kinda the exact opposite. Not many people want to use small instances, so not many people are interested in fixing something like that. However, let's say lemmy.world becomes unusable because of too much cross-server communication. That would cause inconvenience to way more people, increasing the likelihood that someone will do the work to fix it.

  • It's dessert time, what's your perfect post-dinner treat?
  • Recently learned a new, simple cocktail.

    • 330ml rhubarb lemonade
    • 40ml Licor 43
    • 10-20ml lime juice
    • 3-4 ice cubes

    Absolute perfection IMHO

  • Is really possible to understand the magnitude of ones own brain?
  • I don't think brains get more complex because of additional information.

    Also, what I'm not sure you mean with having "enough capacity to reflect ourselves by processing everything"? Do you mean analyzing another brain or analyzing your own brain? Do you mean processing every time a neuron fires, and which neurons get what kind of stimulus from it? Or do you mean looking at all molecules/atoms/fundamental particles and considering their state and following reaction?

    I think we should be capable of understanding the concepts that make our brains work eventually. But I don't think we have the capacity to monitor everything another brain is doing and understand/interpret it in real time, let alone our own brain. A computer might be able to at some point, when we understand more about neurology.

  • just found a flea on our cat, do we go full nuclear?
  • The same reason some people spend that kinda money on 30 year old cars. Or collectibles. Or PC parts.

    It brings them joy. Seems that might be missing from your life currently.

  • Is there a chat/dating app that isn't complete shit and pay wall restricted?
  • I'm sure if we reach that point, someone will add a method for batching cross-server communication. That's the beauty of FOSS

  • Tea versus Coffee
  • Yeah tea with honey is the first thing I make when I wake up with a stomach ache.

    Maybe removing the tea bag is essential? Idk haha

  • Tea versus Coffee
  • I think most normal, reaaonable humans agree that both coffee and tea are good, and that both cats and dogs are cute. People just have a preference and like to joke around about that.

    I have to concede though, that are some legitimately crazy people who go 100% team XYZ and leave no space at all for the positive sides of the other team.

  • Have you ever had a phone call interrupted by a 3rd party voice saying "this call is being recorded"?
  • That's pretty creepy. I had computer voices asking me whether I agree to being recorded for training purposes when calling customer support and the likes. But never during a private call.

    Maybe contact/write to your provider or something?

  • Are Tetra Paks actually recycled?
  • In places where glass is reused, it's definitely the best option. It's heavier so it has a higher co2 output during transport but glass bottles can be reused up to 50 times, saving co2 in the long run.

    But I have to concede, in america aluminum is probably the best option.

  • Laptop randomly playing media

    Edit: sadly, Auto Tab Discard did not fix my issue. Firefox is also set to block audio (including video with audio to my understanding) by default, which I never changed so I don't think that helps with this issue either.

    So I installed pop on my laptop a few months ago, and recently got another one where I installed arch. On both laptops I mostly just watched series, and often times I'd just leave the laptop with the media player still open.

    Now to the issue: Randomly throughout the day, it would just start playing whatever I left open, usually after a few hours of being left alone. Now that I think about it, I think it was only crunchyroll. Does anyone experience anything similar, or might even have an idea as to how to fix this or what causes this? Is it just crunchyroll being buggy?

    My cats 1st birthday is coming up, what kind of treat should I get him?

    I was thinking about some raw fish or something like that, he seems to really like salmon. Any suggestions or things to watch out for?

    How do I say "stay hydrated" in japanese?

    I am designing a tshirt with a friend and we wanted to put some japanese on it. Since my japanese is extremely basic (こんにちは、ミカです) I wanted to ask whether the symbols DeepL gave us mean what we think it means. We want to have a skeleton inside a water bottle and the text should read "stay hydrated" and we got these symbols: 水分補給. Do they work in that context? Or are there any better suggestions we could use? Thanks in advance!

    [SOLVED] Bring existing KDE Konsole into focus instead of launching if one exists

    I use KDE on arch and would like to achieve the following behavior:

    Whatever way I launch Konsole, I want it to check whether there already is a Konsole instance. If one exists, it should be brought into focus, and if no instance exists, one should be launched.

    I am unable to find such an option in the Konsole settings, even though I found a roughly 1 year old forum entry mentioning such a setting. Was it removed or am I just blind? Or do I need some optional dependency?

    Alternatively, it would be fine if this could simply kick in when I use my Super+K shortcut, which I've set up. Maybe there's a way to call Konsole from the terminal like that? I tried using konsole --force-reuse but it didn't seem to do the trick, and konsole --new-tab does not bring Konsole into the foreground.

    Edit: Here's a script that does this, by @Audalin@lemmy.world

    #!/bin/bash WIN="$(kdotool search --class org.kde.konsole | head -1)" if [[ "$WIN" != "" ]]; then kdotool windowactivate "$WIN" else konsole fi

    kdotool is available in AUR as kdotool-git

    [SOLVED] Drop ENTR media keys on linux

    I recently bought a Drop ENTR, and I would like to use the media keys. On the drop.com website it says that using FN + the F-keys should work, but “Fn hotkeys may work with Windows operating system only.”. Well, for me it doesn’t work. Any ideas as to why that could be, or how I could go about creating a workaround?

    obligatory I use arch btw

    Heroic Games Launcher not finding other drives (solved)

    I have 2 relevant drives. The system drive, and a drive with my game files. The drive with the game files is mounted. However, it is not displayed under "Other devices" and I am unable to select it from /dev/

    Installed it using yay from AUR (aur/heroic-games-launcher-bin 2.14.1-1).

    Any ideas as to what may be causing this, or how to go about troubleshooting?

    Looking for someone to play nintendo smash bros with

    I think the community here is much better than reddit, so I'm trying here first.

    I've been living here for a few years now but haven't yet found anyone who enjoys playing smash bros with me. I'm by no means an expert in the game but I am good enough that noone I met here so far was a real challenge. I would describe my skill level as advanced casual.

    I'm also happy to meet in some kind of public space first to get rid of the serial killer vibes, but my goal definitely is a friend to play smash bros with. Shoot me a DM if you're interested :)

    Checking dependencies for manual build and install of software

    I am pretty new to linux so please excuse any foolish mistakes.

    I am trying to manually install gpu-screen-recorder(GSR) to get rid of an annoying password prompt that I can't seem to disable in the flatpak version. I know there must be some way to do it because this prompt didn't show up on Pop!_OS, but maybe it's just not possible on Nobara KDE/Fedora. I noticed in the install.sh of GSR, that setcap cap_sys_admin+ep is called on the executable. So if you know any way of replicating something like that for flatpaks that is simpler than installing GSR manually, feel free to let me know.

    I tried checking the dependencies listed, but was unable to figure out how to really make sure they are installed and accessible for GSR.

    For example: I tried checking for libglvnd by running dnf list libglvnd. Sure enough, it returns

    Installed Packages libglvnd.i686 1:1.6.0-2.fc38 @anaconda libglvnd.x86_64 1:1.6.0-2.fc38 @anaconda

    But then I tried checking for mesa, so I ran dnf list mesa. But it returned

    Available Packages mesa.src 23.2.1-1.fc38 nobara-baseos mesa.src 23.2.1-1.fc38 nobara-baseos-multilib

    It says 'available packages', so not installed, right?

    Well, glxinfo -B says I am using mesa 23.2.1, so it seems to be installed, I guess?

    So, just assuming I had everything necessary, I cloned the repo and tried to just run install.sh. However, of course I get an error message: wayland-scanner: command not found.

    I am a bit confused because I am running on wayland, and checked using loginctl show-session 1 -p Type.

    How do I properly make sure the dependencies are available?

    How do I get rid of excessive password prompts, with the least amount of lost security?

    I understand they are important and are what makes linux relatively secure compared to windows.

    However, when I boot my PC, I don't want to spend a whole minute to type my password into different promts that keep getting hidden behind other windows that are starting up. I am using Nobara KDE now, but previously when I was using Pop!_OS, none of these prompts showed up.

    Currently I have 2 prompts after logging on. One for my keychain when discord autostarts, and one for flatpak when gpu-screen-recorder launches. Interestingly, discord works just fine, with auto logon, regardless of whether the keychain prompt gets canceled or filled with the password.

    Any idea on how to get rid of them? I'd prefer if really only that startup prompt was gone, and it would still ask me for the password whenever it launches any other way.

    YouTube not going fullscreen properly

    I recently switched to Linux. First I tried Pop_OS, and am now on Nobara. On both systems I have this issue, that when I open a YouTube video in a new tab, and immediately start fullscreen, it doesn't properly do it.

    As you probably know, YouTube videos start playing before the whole page has finished loading. There are some placeholders for the title and description etc, but the actual text is still loading despite the video already playing. If I enter fullscreen during this moment, the browser enters full screen mode, but not the video/website.

    What I remember happening on windows is that when the page finished loading, the video would enter proper fullscreen mode. Now, on Linux, that doesn't seem to work and the website just gets displayed regularly with the browser now in fullscreen mode.

    Any ideas on what could cause this or how to troubleshoot this?

    Small wins count, yeah?

    I am currently in the process of moving (actual date of move is Sunday) and I have almost everything packed up in boxes. It was a bunch of work and I can't really think of anything else to be proud of right now.
