Although Nebula is subscription based and they’d need to know what you’re watching to pay the creators accordingly?

It looks like this was posted twice, I get that sometimes as well

On our donation page, we put a breakdown of how much each platform takes from the donation and I think that is why a lot of users chose to donate through the methods that have lower / no fees: https://fedecan.ca/en/donate

I imagine as Crowdbucks develops, they will introduce more methods and improve user / platform choice. Dealing with payment platforms is annoying, so I’m looking forward to seeing what they come up with over time

I was curious what it was about

Maurice Law has filed a statement of claim against Rob Louie, the founder of the Band Members Alliance and Advocacy Association of Canada (BMAAAC), alleging Louie defamed the firm’s founder, Ron Maurice by questioning his indigeneity in an online post.

A while back some people compiled a list of good/bad textbooks at our university:

Generally, open source ones have nicer interfaces. The proprietary ones do various things to limit access and squeeze out profit

Hermit crab should work? It feels more ‘house’ than a regular exoskeleton

Wouldn’t it also lift you up with a similar amount of force? Similar to putting a fan on a sailboat to blow at the sails, the forces would cancel out somewhat

I’m not sure it would, unless the person’s volume also changes considerably.

Buoyant force comes from a displaced volume of fluid (the outside air in this case)

Some of these posts might be better for communities like !technology@lemmy.world, they’re being reported in this community for not being PC Gaming related

This is a valid concern with a lot of manufacturers. My gut says that Framework actually does what it says, but here is a discussion about it:

https://community.frame.work/t/how-do-the-camera-and-microphone-switches-work/4271

As far as I can tell each switch is a U channel with a light emitter on one side, and a detector on the other. The part you move on the bezel just breaks the light beam. This creates a electronic on/off hardware switch.

Using an actual physical switch would tend to be a source of an intermittent connection over time. Hence the use of optical technology. Same thought process for the screen open switch being a Hall Effect sensor, which can work through a cover.

Both of these switches are optical switches where a vane will block the light from one side to a phototransistor on the other side. The photo transistor will then cut power to the camera circuit, or switch the mic data output from the mic to a dummy output that generates silence.

The webcam light is also hardware for once. A lot of laptops do it with software, where people complain the camera turning on without the light being on. Framework shouldn’t have that problem

I think the user was referring to alternate methods for age verification. There was another post here a while back about a game website (armor games maybe?), which stated that it will mark accounts as verified if they linked a credit card, or if the account was made X years ago, etc.

The reason why:

“Water bombing operations have been temporarily halted due to an illegal drone in the area. This is directly impacting fire fighter and public safety,” the post read.

“Flying recreational drones near an active incident is illegal and dangerously interferes with emergency operations. Please keep all drones grounded and away from the scene so our crews can safely continue their work.”

CBC videographer Brian MacKay spotted a man flying a small drone — possibly a DJI Mini — along Highway 102 near the Costco location in Bayers Lake on Tuesday afternoon while capturing footage with a regular video camera.

recently i just finished building a new pc. mostly for gaming since my only exposure to linux is steam os and i heard its uses arch with kde plasma so i try to emulate it as close as i can. however soon i realized how different it is and it requires more setup than i initially thought.

It sounds like you’re thinking of Arch + KDE as similar to building a PC, where if you get the same parts you can hook them up for the same experience.

I think their team chose Arch to build their distro off of because it’s very customizable and made it easy for them to add their configurations, interface layers, hardware optimizations etc. That doesn’t make it the best choice for a beginner unless you want to be thrown into the deep end and spend some time to learn a bunch.

IMO you should look into something like Bazzite or some other atomic Fedora, or OpenSuse, so that you can have a running operating system you can game on. Then you can spend some time learning about Linux with the functioning PC. There are ways to run other Linux distros inside your main one if you want to play with them and learn about them.

Unless you have another machine to use day to day, I find it annoying to be learning with the same machine I need for other things.

Thank you for highlighting the rules! I think it was needed, and I’ve been meaning to ask about it after those recent posts a few days ago.

Would you be able to put a summarized version of rules in the sidebar once you’ve decided on them, and then link back here for the full version? Sometimes the pinned posts don’t federate and people may gloss over the link.

Markdown formatting wise, this is what I usually do now to have it look nice across different apps / front ends

### Rules:

**a) Posts must be uplifting.**

- This excludes [schadenfreude](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schadenfreude).^[1]^

**b) Posts must not overtly deal with toxic politics.** ^[1]^

**c) Links must not be low-effort.** ^[1]^

- Links must not go to a copy of a copy of a copy.  
(Try finding the original source instead! Links do not have to be textual, so there's no need to find a content farm to post a video.)
- Posts must not be fake news.

Yup

Auto naming functionality is neat in some cases, like the AI chat UI itself

• It’s convenient to have names when toggling between a few recent chats or searching through 10s or 100s of chats later on
• I spawn new chats often and it’s tedious to name them all
• I don’t have a strong preference for what the title is as long as it’s clear what the chat was about

Tab groups don’t hit those points at all

• I’ll have a handful of tab groups
• I don’t make them often
• I have a strong preference for what it’s called, and the AI will have trouble figuring out exactly what I’m using those sites for

are there any decent wrist watches that respect your privacy and don’t send all the dam data home?

I’ve heard Garmin is decent, and Pebble is coming back

In one of the most popular presentations at 37C3, the three hackers uncovered something monstrous: Newag trains went into hibernation using a sophisticated game of hide-and-seek if they were parked for too long within the geocoordinates of competitors‘ or customers’ workshops or were left in conditions that indicated they underwent an unregistered repair. Only by calling in a Newag technician could such deactivated trains be ‘rescued’. All of this was uncovered without the potentially illegal replacement of train components which would require certifications.

What.
