Just install fd-find. I found it to be the most intuitive way to search for files

I agree with some of what he’s saying, but is seems like the main issue is surveillance, not digitizing IDs. I mean if you have a driver’s license you’re already in a digital database. Or if you were, know, born. If they wanted to track you, they can use your car (like Flock Safety) or just your face. They already know where you live and where you work. The problem he faced in China is being required to scan IDs everywhere (and get logged), and that the government has total control of their internet. Neither of which are happening here.
It seems like the current way it’s going to be implemented is basically storing ID information on your phone that’s signed by the government. So if the bank scans it they can see your information, that it wasn’t tampered with, and that it matches what the government has. Just some bytes that got cryptographically signed. Not much different from a physical ID that’s “signed” by having a bunch of security features. They already have to verify any identification you hand them, this will just make it more convenient.
Now if the government can see each time you use it and what for, that’s different. That’s what he’s against. But it doesn’t seem like that’s the way it will go. And it seems like digital ID is optional, you can just use a physical ID. So this seems very alarmist to me, IMO.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•I wish the Steam Controller used AA batteriesEnglish
5·1 month agoIf there’s a market for it, replacements will be made. You can buy a replacement PS5 battery for $5. You can also buy a iPhone 4 battery (still). LiPos are quite easy to make (geopolitics aside) so making one that fits is not hard at all.
The PS5 battery has a plug, if the Steam Controller is like that (probably is), the only tool required is a screwdriver, which seems like a great tradeoff to replace the battery every 5+ years instead of every week or two, and being able to recharge it easily and quickly.
Worst case scenario you have to use a generic battery that is about the right size instead of a perfect fit. Maybe a little less battery life but it’s still more than enough anyway.

Android@lemdro.id•How Android handles Hi-Res audio: An audiophile's guide to the best soundEnglish
111·2 months ago“Results showed a small but statistically significant ability of test subjects to discriminate high resolution content, and this effect increased dramatically when test subjects received extensive training.”
Basically, people can just barely detect high res audio but it’s not much better than a coin flip. If you have lots of experience you’re more accurate but not by a whole lot.
Anyway 48kHz sampling can produce up to 24kHz and the human limit is like 20kHz. Most songs don’t have 96db of dynamic range, and 120db is hearing damage, so the idea that the average person can easily hear the difference is not true.

3·2 months agoI’m pretty sure you used to be able to do that with an app. I don’t know if it’s still a thing, but you could at one point create & save a ratio of a bunch of drinks, scan a QR on the screen, and pour. I think you could share them too?

World News@lemmy.world•Madagascar president in hiding as Gen Z topples another governmentEnglish
4·2 months agoYou could make that case for the boomers, but with the advent of the Internet it’s not really limited to specific countries anymore. Gen z just describes people who grew up with some access to the internet, but not to the extent of alpha. A large part of these recent revolts were caused or accelerated by social media. Gen Z is more specific than young people, and in this case also more culturally relevant.
Doesn’t matter anyway, even if you think Gen Z isn’t real you know what age range the article is talking about.

Technology@lemmy.world•Codeberg: army of AI crawlers are extremely slowing us; AI crawlers learned how to solve the Anubis challenges.English
19·4 months agoNo, it’s expensive to comply (at a massive scale), but easy to avoid. Just change the user agent. There’s even a dedicated extension for bypassing Anubis.
Even then AI servers have plenty of compute, it realistically doesn’t cost much. Maybe like a thousandth of a cent per solve? They’re spending billions on GPU power, they don’t care.
I’ve been saying this since day 1 of Anubis but nobody wants to hear it.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•UK Asks People to Delete Emails In Order to Save Water During DroughtEnglish
2·5 months agoGiven the difference in server CPU/memory/storage/network/scale, I don’t think it’s possible to get any number with confidence. Maybe you could self host, but that wouldn’t be representative of real email servers. Plus different email providers handle emails differently.
And cloud providers probably automatically scale with load, Gmail probably uses more power during work hours than after.
Also SSR is relatively new and email services are ancient, I’d be surprised if any used it. I’m not even sure if it’s a good idea for email.
Plus it would probably vary with how many emails you have in your inbox…
I just don’t think it’s possible to get an actual number.



A line immediately after that: “Windows Powershell failed to load .NET command. Aborting…”
So presumably some of those commands will fail if .NET is missing.
