As a life360 user, I really don't know how any reasonable person in the last 10 years could sign up and not know they're selling location data. It's a free service primarily designed to track your location. I didn't read the terms, I just assumed it to be true.
I can confirm focusrite scarlet interfaces work fine, and the uv1 should be fine as well but I don't have one. You may need to get familiar with the Linux audio landscape. VSTs mostly work these days, although I only use foss VSTs so maybe commercial ones have their own caveats.
For pro audio you should be using JACK to connect your sound devices. These days if you run a system that uses pipewire, pipewire can pretend to be a JACK server just fine. I like to use QJackCtl to set up Jack environments, although its not necessary because many DAWs are capable of setting up in the application.
For a DAW I used to love Ardour, now I still like it but am sad that it has been crashing often for me. I don't use any of them but there are some well liked Linux daws like reaper.
You may have trouble with recording without a preemptable (aka real-time) kernel. Afaict this only matters on lower end computers or when you have a lot of live plugins running, but using a kernel with this feature just means that more kernel code can be interrupted to handle things like fresh audio data arriving over USB.
Mostly, you'll need some time to get everything working how you want. I agree with the recommendation to use a separate disk in your existing computer for Linux, or get a whole separate computer. The nice thing about using a separate disk is you can know for sure your windows setup is available if needed. For me I slowly left windows behind, only realizing later that it has been a year or more since I last fired it up.
Would you believe me if I told you this is how conda works? :P
2 that stand out to me:
When I successfully got virtualbox to boot my windows xp partition inside Linux because I needed to run some software for school.
When I figured out how to use qemu-nbd to mount a qcow2 image backed by a physical block device in order to run non-destructive filesystem repair and file recovery with test disk. Did that for a while for my university IT help desk to quickly save files off failing disks.
Grab an RTL sdr and listen in yourself!
I think part of that sentiment is also I'm not a threat to the government please don't kill me
I basically only use Lemmy. Since reddit first tried to restrict their API I've been outta there. Other that that I use Facebook for marketplace because less and less is on Craigslist
Can confirm the faking it is obvious from the kids point of view. Wasn't terrible but we'll never know what could have been.
Linux vtty forever! Can't cat data into the framebuffer when your desktop is getting in the way!!
Jk I use gnome terminal for everything, or whatever default is available. It's quite amazing that most of them handle all but the most niche terminal features these days.
When I need to install a terminal emulator for some reason I always go for urxvt.. but it is pretty terrible (it's a great vt but mouse interaction is clunky and graphics are old school) compared to pretty much everything else.
Sometimes, staples or FedEx just to print the lease, sign the lease, and scan the lease.

Ya I agree with this
I'm having this problem on two second hand hp business machines with ... I think discrete graphics but now that I'm writing this I never bothered to check. I'm running Ubuntu on them and they basically run Minecraft and flightgear a few times a day. Not every time, but eventually when either machine attempts to enter suspend mode it will instead crash and stay like this until a manual hard reset. I suspect this is related to certain software running when suspend is initiated but I'm not sure.
I'm not using Ubuntu much myself these days and I've never used a Radeon GPU, any advice or ideas would be appreciated. If anyone wants to dig in I can get hardware info and logs, I'm feeling lazy at the moment.
Noticed the lower arm of the dishwasher was in the same spot several washes in a row, so I got suspicious of the gap between that top nut and the arm. It looked like a lot of water could slip past. I found a small washer that fit almost perfectly in a junk box in the garage and now it seems to be working better.
We can try a criminal case with the slimmest possible amount of information. Why is bad faith action not criminal in modern democracy. It amounts to fraud of the highest degree. To me the most blatant form is those elected representatives who changed political party after election, but includes any elected official acting contrary to the platform they were elected on.
Democracy cannot survive this kind of fraud.
In the wake of recent events a widespread disgust with the behavior of corporations has been in the spotlight. Why do companies act? Mostly 'for the shareholders.' This is why Twitter is no more, why openAI is an empty husk, and possibly why our planet is headed towards a climate disaster.
Note this Ferengi-esque drive to profit is entrenched in our model of a corporation: It's entire purpose is profit. When we think of a corporation acting in the interest of it's shareholders we only think of actions that result in profit in dividends or stock prices.
Why is this the only way corporations act in the interest of shareholders? Because shareholders, owners, only take financial risk when owning a corporation. Owners are inherently protected from the consequences of corporate actions.
Corporations commit crime. It happens, and it is difficult to pin down who is ultimately responsible for these crimes. Sometimes it is an employee who truly is responsible, but sometimes the company itself created the conditions requiring employees to break the law and sometimes the company decides the penalty is worth the profit.
Imagine how the balance of competing interests would change if instead of treating owners as disinterested observers, responsibility for all corporate actions was evenly divided by ownership stake. Fines, asset seizure, court orders, prison sentences, felon status all trickling up to those ultimately responsible: owners. The best interest of shareholders would no longer be limited to maximizing profit, but also minimizing prosecution risk.
This would not stop bad actors entirely, but would remove one of the evolutionary pressures that selects for their success.
Visit about:compat in your firefox. I find it insane that these exist.
Edit: I've learned that this is part of the webcompat system addon developed by Mozilla and other contributors. I see why this is beneficial default behavior, since FF has no chance of getting enough market share to matter more if things are broken.
However, this behavior is too intrusive for my taste. For example this injection: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/8a4afb4d34f8/browser/extensions/webcompat/injections/js/bug1472075-bankofamerica.com-ua-change.js is basically just to silence annoying user reports.
Also, Every site FF pretends to be a different UA on is artificially reducing FF market share data.

the print popped off the bed near the end but it works fine 😅
Made some delicious beef gyoza today. This is what's left after dinner, for the next few days lunch.
3lbs ground beef ... A bunch of gyoza skins (about 3 packs) A small onion Salt Oil for frying (olive + a little sesame oil) Garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, soy sauce, and rice vinegar for the dipping sauce Rice to go with it

I'm beginning to look into another issue I posted about, but this struck me as odd
Any advice on where to go from here? This console was running dmesg -w to try and catch an intermittent crash... And this is what I got. I am using an el cheapo USB wifi adapter that I'm suspicious of.
Everything was working fine until I rebuilt nixos with Nvidia support... Now my old generations of the OS are crashing after a few minutes (display on, no response to input, keyboard lights don't respond, SysRq doesn't work)
Anyone else getting random sketchy websites occasionally instead of the link in posts? Second try usually works fine.
I've been procrastinating a fix for a vibration that is speed related on my xc90. It starts around 45mph and comes and goes up to 65 or 70... I broke some stuff 'diagnosing' it, and once I fix that I'm going to take the awd driveshaft out. I'm assuming a bearing is bad, any ideas? I want to repair the driveshaft because it's really expensive to replace.
I have the unique pleasure of waiting as /usr is copied back to my Ubuntu SSD after offloading it to a sea of spinning rust to save some space. Surprise surprise Ubuntu keeps almost everything in /usr these days and it didnt boot :l but hey, at least BusyBox in initramfs has my back for times like these. Can i mount a specific ext4 directory with options? the issue seems to be my attempt at using a bind mount fails while running from the ramdisk, for whatever reason it wont mount my large data drive on /data
