But the privatized prisons are local businesses too, right?

Looks like we’re finally able to use the mech!

Lemmy has a lot more contributors and eyes digging into its codebase now compared to 2021 so I think this is very unlikely to happen.

I may not agree with the devs political view, but I think their work developing lemmy is excellent and made me subscribe to monthly donation on opencollective. Lemmy is an open source project where the devs have absolutely no say over how the software being used, as evidenced by so many lemmy instances defederating from lemmygrad and lemmy.ml. Their political belief won’t affect other instance.

They probably mean the .ml part.

I’m more concerned with Mozilla spending its meager resources to chase some fads instead of focusing on improving firefox.

Google does that a lot with their own web properties. I remember Google Meet didn’t support background replacement on Firefox, but switching Firefox’s user agent to Chrome suddenly fixed it.

It seems Mozilla is not immune to the AI hype. I just hope their AI endeavour won’t kill them when the AI hype finally ends.

It used to be a lot slower, which is why when Chrome showed up with its shiny new V8 engine (and other features) people switched from Firefox en masse. Now the performance difference is no longer noticeable.

I have to unsubscribe from some of kbin’s magazines because bots constantly posting spam there in past few months. It’s bad. I didn’t know the dev runs double duty as mod as well.

An important context that’s missing from the blog post is Keivan Beigi is one of the core contributor of Sonarr, a popular app in the *arr scene. Microsoft probably realized it late after offering him a job, got cold feet and ghost him.

I only just realized my previous comment formatted like total ass

No problem since there is a “view source” button on lemmy which show the comment in its original formatting.

This laptop seems to use ALC236, which seems to have a lot of problem on linux. If you search on the web, people seems to have different issues with different fixes on various laptop with ALC236. I’m not quite sure what’s the issue in your case, but searching for "ALC236" linux mic might yield some relevant results, such as this one. Most solutions are probably not applicable unless you install linux permanently on your disk first though.

Audio issues on laptops are usually model-specific. Might help if you post your laptop model and the output of diagnostic commands such as arecord -l.

The original appget was better, but Microsoft basically killed it.

Have you tried creating a throwaway account and post a wrong answer to your own question?

the tests are now larger than the thing itself

The purpose of the code is to make the tests pass.

Maybe, maybe not. Who knows. Not everyone will switch to Linux, but those who do must be introduced to it somehow. My first experience with Linux 18 years ago was very painful yet I eventually made the switch a few years later.

Let him go back to Windows. You already planted the idea of using Linux in his head. Next time he gets tired of windows for any reason, he knows there is an alternative and he’ll consider switching to Linux on his own.
