Linux is obviously very good, but you are right, we give Linux a pass sometimes because we ‘build’ it. We tend to overlook its flaws because we want it to be better than the competition.

I’ve recently had an upgrade fail to the point of a reinstall, a folder that I can’t share between two users on the same laptop, and shutdown buttons on two computers that disappeared. If those problems happened on Windows, I’d be really annoyed, but because they happened on Linux, I just fixed them and carried on.

Yeah, it’s a bit odd, this image is showing for me, but others that I’ve tried to embed in the same way haven’t shown up in the past.

I’ll report it to them 👍

I’m on the same Voyager version, but tapping the picture just gives me the picture with no text.

I took a screenshot, but I can’t see a way to embed it - never mind, closing my keyboard gave me the image, attachment, and formatting options back. The screenshot should be here:

Nope. Tapping the picture just opens it with no text here. Voyager on Android.

mb additionally putting it in the post body would be a good idea for future posts?

I’ve seen that a few times on other posts. If there’s text in the body already, the alt text has been separated, but I don’t think there’s a standard yet

I’m using Voyager, and I can’t see any alt text. Long pressing does nothing, and obviously I can’t hover on mobile.

Yeah, but a drum kit is much easier to sell on ebay

86% of Mozilla’s revenue came from the agreement keeping Google as Firefox’s default search engine

That explains a lot. I’ve only recently switched back to Firefox after Chrome took the throne years ago. I still use Google’s services for now, so wanted their home page as my new tab page.

The only way I could find to do that was by using an extension, but every so often I get a warning from FF that my new tab page has been changed, and it gets reset. I looked up a way to stop the warnings, and found a Mozilla blog post with comments from staff claiming that it’s a security feature.

Apparently the only reason that you might not want to start with the FF start page is because you’ve been hacked 🙄

There was a good post on planning for your death recently, with links to a Github guide. It’s not NixOS specific, but might be helpful :)

Still, don’t they require ID and phone number and shit these days ?

I’ve got no idea. I haven’t had to do either, but I’ve had my account for years, and pretty much only use it to keep track of birthdays.

I’ve used marketplace a few times for buying and haven’t had to add any extra info, it just connects me with the seller through Messenger. I’m in the UK if that makes any difference.

Would a virtual machine work for this? Set up a minimal Linux distro with a browser and set the browser to delete cookies on exit, then only use it for Facebook. VMs are not perfectly secure, as I understand it, but I can’t see Facebook tunnelling its way out of one.

Not on your lives, MI5

He’s got a point…

I’m still quite new to this, so I’m not sure if this is the best thing to do, but in JOSM you can paste data.

I copy the address from the street name down, so street, village, town, postcode / zip code, and paste it to the buildings on that street. I haven’t done it for a little while, but I’m pretty sure that you can select multiple buildings at once too, saving some time that way.

That’s a good idea :)

Whether it’s true or not, veganism is associated with self righteous people, and also with complicated diets and the lack of nutrients nonsense. Plant based food isn’t, and sounds like it’s something that you can just pick up while you’re shopping, rather than trying to figure out what you’re supposed to do with quinoa and tofu.

‘Mmmm… That’s it Nige, fuck me like you fucked my grandkid’s future!’

Before you get to be a tree hugger, you’ve got to get to know the tree

It has been an unwritten agreement since forever (or at least as long as there have been ads on the web) that if you consume the content, you pay the creator by looking at the ads on their site.

Downvoted because this is objectively wrong.

I’ve been using the internet since the mid 90s, and there were very few ads then. The ads that did exist were mainly banner ads pointing to other sites, for example. Ad companies got wise to them and started posting their own ads, then started using invasive technology like popup ads and animated ads.

From the first time these types of ads were used, there have been complaints against them, and adblockers were developed.

At no point did I agree to view ads on the internet, and the vast majority of people only put up with them because they don’t know that there’s a way to get rid of them.

I’m not sure about Windows 11, but I’ve transferred a licence on Windows 10. If OP gives the existing computer an unique name it will make transferring the licence slightly easier.

You need to install the same version of Windows on both computers - home or pro, not the version number

Build the new PC as usual and start the Windows installation. When it asks if you have a licence, select the option to add it later (I can’t remember the exact wording). Finish the installation and install your drivers. Either click the activation popup, or go into settings and click on the ‘This computer isn’t activated’ box. Open the activation troubleshooter.

There should be an option in there to transfer the licence from your old computer to the new one. If you have multiple licenses, having the unique name for the old computer makes it easier to see which one is the correct one.

@Mighty@lemmy.world hope this helps :)
