Getting blocked isn't the flex you think it is.

Information has been demanded about users in pirate subs and Reddit refuses. This will go nowhere.

I don't recall reporting anyone on Lemmy. I do see users getting banned so either other users are reporting or the mods are very active.

Same. 28 users blocked. Far more communities in my list.

Life is too short to deal with assholes and bots. They get blocked very quickly.

When I made this account, I went through the communities and blocked a lot of them. All sports, foreign languages, anime, and furries. All the content I know that I have no interest in.

Torrent everything. If it's legal for a company to cancel my subscription then torrenting isn't unethical.

Use the free tier if you are low-income. Privacy and security shouldn't be for those with money.

I have a paper 4 year calendar hanging on the wall. Takes a while to write in all the dates and holidays. With liquid paper/white out I have been using the same calendar for well over 10 years.

On my phone - Fossify Calendar.

I bet half your co-workers have a post-it stuck to their monitor.

What phone are you using?

Edit: I hit enter too quickly.

The reason I ask is some phones can make a pin very secure. For example, Pixels' security chip will rate-limit how often a new pin can be entered. So a 6 digit pin has one million combinations and after the 139th failed attempt only one pin can be tried within a 24 hour period. This will take 27 years to enter just 10% of the possible combinations.

Phone is a 6 digit pin.

I find passphrases very easy to remember. I have different ones for my laptop, external hard drives, Proton, Tuta, and password manager.

I find it helpful to make the passphrase an insult toward a company or group such as "go away piggy this is mine".

Another reason to never use anything bigtech.

 

Imaging if this technology could cool a data centre.

Edit: I was not involved in this project. You are wasting your time asking me questions.

 

My bank forces me to re-insert my card (or tap) for every transaction. Pay CC - insert card, enter pin, move the money to the CC, machine gives a receipt (or emails it) then the machine spins out the card. If I want cash I have put the card back in. I asked the teller today about why this is happening, they are as shocked as I.

 

The CLI app is barebones. I know this is said a lot about Proton services (at least on Reddit) but it's true on Linux. No split tunnel, app shuts down when I turn off my display, and the connection is very unstable.

 

Anyone else having sync issues on Android? Sync will happen if I go into settings and hit "Force synchronization".

 

Hey everyone.

I'm new to Linux and Fedora Workstation is my first distro. I like it but feel it needs a little tweaking. The screenshot is my desktop as I type this.

I installed "Extension Manager" and the following extensions - "Dash to Dock" and "System Monitor"

  1. Dash to Dock converts the Dash to a Dock with auto hide capability as well as being able to move the dock and change the icon sizes. Not necessary but it is annoying after a while moving the mouse to the dash, expecting it to popup and it doesn't. 'Oh right, now I have to hit that key'
  2. "System Monitor" shows the real time CPU load, memory, swap, upload, and download. I installed this to see how this used laptop, Levono T470s, handles Linux. So far, it's awesome.

Extension Manager also allows me to tweak the built-in system extensions.

  1. "AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support" (that's a mouthful). This one shows minimized app in the top bar.
  2. "Window List" is the bottom bar showing the currently open app.

There are pages full of extensions but I'm happy with what I installed.

"GNOME Tweaks" is another app I'm using. With this I was able to add Maximize and Minimize buttons to any open window (there are many other options) as well as pick a few apps to start with system boot. Normally, ProtonVPN has to be started with a terminal command at each system boot. GT does it for me.

Edit: I recently switched from a Samsung S6 Lite Android tablet with a Logitech keyboard and mouse to a used laptop running Linux.
