Desert areas can still have rich ecosystems that get severely affected by solar farms.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The person who mounted a spice rack into the fucking studs so a fridge won't fit thereEnglish
0·1 month agoBut why can’t you just remove it? It being mounted into the studs isn’t any different than any other spot, it’s just more secure.

5·2 months agoEven if this was the intention, which I would love a source for, that was never the practical effect. It was security theater from day zero and the only people who it made feel safer were the hyperxenophobic chuds who were yelling at anyone with vaguely brown skin in the weeks after 9/11.
Any attempt to whitewash the TSA is bullshit. All of DHS is government overreach.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What's a good, beginner-friendly distro that allows for easy switching between GNOME and KDE?
30·1 year agoWhile pretty much any distro can do this, I will warn you that it’s not the greatest idea. GNOME and KDE are both massive software suites and you’ll have a lot of redundant programs, e.g. two GUI file managers, and sometimes you’ll get unexpected behavior. There are also some look and feel issues that might crop up with apps getting style hints from two places. Again, it’s nothing super major, and it’s been a while since I’ve done this so maybe it’s improved, but any time I’ve tried I end up rolling back or reinstalling with only one big DE.
It’s much less of an issue to have one big DE and then potentially several other more modular window managers, as those have much less opinionated payloads. I’ve got sway and hypr installed alongside GNOME.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Which areas of Linux would benefit most from further standardization?
8·1 year agoHave you tried recently? We’ve been pretty much at parity for years now. Almost every game that doesn’t run is because the devs are choosing to make it that way.

Mechanical Keyboards@lemmy.ml•Looking for a low-profile ISO mechanical keyboard
1·1 year agoI’ve got the Ergodox, so my recommendation is entirely off the strength of that product. If I were buying from them today, I’d probably get the Moonlander, but that’s because I use my keyboard with my home desktop 99%+ of the time. If you plan to travel, commute, or otherwise use your keyboard in multiple places, I think the low profile keys will be perfect for that.
As for add-ons, there isn’t really anything to add for the Voyager. If you’re considering the Moonlander, I would be tempted by The Platform. It’s a full third of the already hefty price of the keyboard, but it looks like the dream tilt solution. The legs on the Ergodox, which look to be the same legs as on the Voyager, are serviceable, but the interface that keeps them in place can wear out needing replacement, and they can only tilt so much (the Voyager has less I believe, so you can still tilt it but at less esoteric angles). The platform will let you get nearly vertical with each hand if you want, which is kind of the ergonomic dream. Although, tbf, after using my Ergodox for a couple years, I rarely tilt it at all and just use it flat on the desk along with the included wrist/palm supports
Yeah fair, most of the more granular systems go that way. I know Pathfinder fights can take a minute as well.
Combat can be fun, but DnD in particular reeaaally drags sometimes. An excellent DM helps, but even Dimension 20 takes a full session for a big combat encounter, which is usually just exhausting IMO. I much prefer systems like PBTA that keep combat pretty breezy and improv-friendly.

2·1 year agoI think we all know this, but it’s the exact same argument for Facebook and Twitter and LinkedIn. Getting off centralized, corporate, for-profit cloud services should be a priority for anyone who is philosophically aligned with FOSS.

Mechanical Keyboards@lemmy.ml•Looking for a low-profile ISO mechanical keyboard
0·1 year agoZSA Voyager is great, but it’s ergo so neither ISO nor ANSI.
Deluge is another good client – I’m not sure why but its defaults gave me much better download speeds than transmission or qbittorrent
I assume because either their legal department, or it sounds like maybe this new exec Varma, thought that the previous language opened them up to potential liability in some jurisdictions.
The brightline for me is when the terms actually become onerous. If you were an extreme privacy nerd you were already using a fork anyway, for the average user there’s nothing in the terms that’s threatening yet IMO.
Everyone keeps saying this, but no one has an answer for why, if they’re definitely going to start selling all our data, they didn’t say that in the new terms? I’ll get upset when they actually change them to be shitty.
Cool cool, lumping “I love fascists, actually” together with “We’re clarifying our legal positions”
