What about a cloud option instead? I do this for stuff that I consider important but don’t want to lose. Upload to a “backup” folder and then download once you set up your next distro?
Though I wouldn’t do this with anything terribly important like my social security number or taxes or something. But stuff like a book I’m working on, game projects I have, music library, etc., general stuff I don’t want to lose.
As part of our commitment to SoulCrafted content, MyMiniFactory has adopted a zero-tolerance stance on AI generated content on our platform.
Thingiverse is now a SoulCrafted platform. In practice, that means we’ll be taking steps to reduce and eventually remove AI-generated designs from the site.
That is really interesting. I wonder how they are going to find those and remove.
Even before the boom of AI, I remember seeing a lot of random crap of unusual shapes just being added together and uploaded. I wonder if they’ll remove those too.
Everything seems bad about that. The size, the price, Windows…wtf were they thinking?
This isn’t about reading comprehension. This is about some jackass editor making a title with too many words instead of condensing it by removing a title or a name or just including some commas to separate words from one another.

Those comma placements would have helped a ton making better sense of what they were trying to convey. But since titles shouldn’t include commas, they should have just chose a different way to phrase this.
No you were correct. It’s a shit headline. I had to re-read it a few times and still not completely sure I understand what it’s trying to convey without reading the article, itself.
Unless I’m not aware of anything deeper, Apple makes all their privacy settings available under the Settings app > Privacy & Security. There are a lot of menus to go through in here, but for max privacy, you’ll want to disable nearly everything available in here ranging from location services to apps getting access to the local network and other apps as well as access to hardware.
macOS is similar to Windows in that a lot of apps will request permission on first launch or when you do something specific in them that will trigger a permission change and you’ll enter your password/TouchID/Apple Watch to confirm you want to grant access or not. But you can proactively block access here and also supposedly block Apple from some of these as well.
Beyond that will likely be up to you as to what you want in terms of privacy. Some people may go as far as airgapping it from the internet while others are okay with an app or two having access to the local network.
iOS has this too, including silencing/blocking indefinitely, just for 24 hours, or just 1 hour.
But the problem is that these asshole apps often bank on the fact that you need notifications for some things in their app and don’t want to disable all because you’ll miss those.
See apps like OfferUp that don’t let you turn off all the spam crap they push because it’ll make you miss shipping notifications or messages about your orders.
That’s how it used to be in my area. Amazon Fresh stores and Kohl’s stores and some grocery stores had free charging through Shell with these big signs showing ads. Now Shell is charging but double dipping with the ads too.
But they have the absolute worst, unreliable network. I just tried charging tonight and the damn app didn’t even know there was a charger here. So I am watching the ads as I try to figure out how to pay to charge my car lol. Maybe that’s their trick since I can never seem to actually charge my car at one.
Guess they had to follow EVs lol. Some EV stations near me have big ass signs that show advertisements. It’s not enough you’re paying to charge your car, you also need to be shown more ads.
I’m just grateful my car doesn’t show it inside.
Correct, to my knowledge, Java doesn’t play on console.
A good alternative to this would be getting an iPad, iPhone, or Android device and playing from there which can do cross play with consoles. Those use the Bedrock edition as well. I sometimes would use my iPad and play with my ex’s son who was playing the Nintendo Switch which was Bedrock too.
Java can only be played on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
To my knowledge, it can only be done using apps that will basically emulate the Android Bedrock version.
I set this up on my Steam Deck so I could play with my ex’s son. I bought a copy on the Google Play Store and then I signed into Google in an app on my Steam Deck which downloaded Bedrock and then let me play, even using the Steam Deck’s native controls.
That is the only way I am familiar with from my research.
Microsoft has blocked Bedrock on desktop OSes besides Windows. I have tried on my Mac and Linux computers with this being the only successful way. You can play Java through their app without issue or jumping through hoops like this.
Most components nowadays are built and designed like LEGO bricks. If it fits, it probably goes there. If you gotta force it, you’re probably putting something in the wrong spot.
Granted, CPUs can still be fragile and you have to put it in a certain way so as to not damage pins on the underside or your motherboard, depending on which generation we’re talking about, but if you read the instructions and pay attention to the guides made for you by the manufacturers, you’ll be okay. They generally will make a corner weird so it only fits in that way and no other to prevent you from putting it in the wrong way, for example.
RAM sticks are similar. They are not made symmetric on purpose because it is meant to go in one way and stay that way. And even with different generations, they are placed differently so a DDR3 stick will never accidentally fit without forcing it into a DDR4 slot, for example.
Even with stuff like thermal paste, they give you enough that if you make a mistake, you clean it up and reposition and still have enough to redo the process. I speak from experience on that one lol. Gotta get it right and then can screw down.
With prices being as crazy as they are, maybe you can buy old hardware from the DDR3/DDR2 generation and take it apart and put it back together as a test? Do this and build an era specific computer to play era specific games, like aiming for 2010 and get parts for that time meant to play games from around that time?
I was on 580 and had issues on CachyOS and Bazzite and Garuda Linux KDE Lite with an RTX 4080.
You’re right about that. This was meant for walls so probably would get nasty and gunky quick when on the floor since it wasn’t designed for that.
It makes me wonder if someone developed a special putty for this purpose though. Somehow public places like banks and government buildings keep these down and don’t had to deal with stubborn corners!
I’ve heard some people doing the water + cup method where you damp the corner with water and then leave a cup on it and it will reposition the corner to stay down. But that is only when the corner has actually come up and you want to fix it and it sounds like you want to be proactive and prevent it from coming up in the first place?
Perhaps there is some other type of adhesive you can use to keep it down but bring up when needed? My mom used to use this blue gum like substance that would hold things to the walls in her classroom. It didn’t leave residue and would come off with little ease on your part but keep things held onto the wall. That may work here? She used to get it from office supplies stores and it legit looks like gum. Can’t remember the exact name of it.
I really want to like Wayland since it seems to be the future, but I can’t when my computer keeps crashing from just using it.
I’m still new to learning the difference between Wayland and x11. What are some of the features people like between the two of them?
Where were they on launch and the years after? I was on the hunt for one to upgrade from my PS4. I joined Discord groups and followed Twitter accounts and joined Sony’s list to supposedly buy one directly from them. I ended up giving up with all the supply in my area being with scalpers for years.
Oh well. Too little, too late, Sony.
Debian is your most basic Cheerio cereal. Cereal in a bowl with milk and a spoon. Ready for you to eat.
Ubuntu came along and is all that plus berries, bananas, sugar, and many other toppings. They also give you a fork and knife if you want to eat using those as well as a napkin.
If you like bananas on your Cheerios and nothing else, I mean, sure you can go with Ubuntu and get bananas on your Cheerios with milk and a bowl and spoon, but many people prefer to just go with Debian and then add bananas on top on their own because they don’t want everything else that comes with it. They may not hate it, it’s just going to be a waste of food to get all that extra stuff and have to remove it after the fact.
For some people that only want bananas, they’ll go with Ubuntu because adding bananas on your cereal involves opening the banana and using a knife to cut the banana into slices. Ubuntu may use a machine to cut your bananas into perfect, equal slices, so some people want to go with Ubuntu for those reasons, whether it be because they’ve done the legwork or because they did it in a way that is the most clean method whereas you doing it ended up with you needing to redo the process 3 times and now you have little bits of excess bananas from your past failed attempts and not doing the best job cleaning it up.
TL;DR: Ubuntu took Debian and added a bunch of stuff on top of it for their users. Some people like Ubuntu because of that and it makes it easier because Ubuntu included everything whereas some people want the source Debian because they will add their own stuff on their own the manual way.
Poor girl, I’m glad she’s with you and warming up to you! Hopefully her kittens went to good homes too.
