Yeah. I did it exactly once, on vacation, while I didn’t have internet connection/didn’t want to waste the rest of my data, and wanted to import photos to my MacBook to edit them. It was fast enough on the Lightning connector.

This is a complete non-issue especially since faster hardware would probably be more expensive. Apple has enough actual issues that are more important such as repairs, RAM pricing, sideloading, …

What’s the point in being able to create an empty file from the file manager? You pretty much never want to actually have an empty file.

Open whatever program that can edit the document type you want (you would have it open later anyway to edit the document), make a new document, put something in it and save it. You have to do that anyway with any document type where an empty file isn’t valid data.

I asked Gemini and it said “A reddit user wrote, ‘Kill yourself.’” Sounds like a yes for me too!

“can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters”

Holy shit. I need to start saying this

(art by unworn)

I love it!

+1 for Go Map!!, it’s what I use to map on the go.

For anything more complex it can’t do such as multipolygon edits or aligning nodes in a line or other polishing I then send the change to JOSM on the computer if necessary.

No. I don’t use it myself but this fucking sucks.

Yes, it is. You should not copy from other maps (satellite imagery is okay as long as the license of the imagery allows it, for example Bing).

I don't know Mark, I might not, but at least I have good friends. Can you say the same for yourself?

Kdenlive is excellent. Probably top of the line in terms of features when it comes to FOSS and just works unlike the probably-better-in-theory freeware alternative on Linux, DaVinci Resolve.

I recently tried iMovie on the Mac to see how it is, just wanted to cut a clip out of a YouTube video I downloaded, and while its interface is much more well integrated, it completely froze during import of the video (I think it tried to transcode it in the background and ended up swapping hard because believe it or not Apple, there actually are workloads you need a lot of RAM for). Kdenlive didn't struggle at all on the same machine.

It sounds like you need a split DNS setup. systemd-resolved can do this for example. As soon as you need any sort of slightly more complex DNS setup using just resolv.conf isn't going to cut it.

Just this morning, the AFD was categorized as a right-wing extremist organization by our Office for Constitutional Protection

Oh, awesome. Fucking finally!!!

Oh, so that's what that's for. I've seen it before but never got the reason for it, but combined with this it makes sense. The name is very unfortunate though.

Now, the question is, will the cached RDP password update when you log in with the PIN :)

If only this could lead to scaling down the scope of web technologies so it’s sustainable to develop a browser without that 80% funding.

Wouldn’t be the first time we dropped an ultra complex technology for something much more simple, e.g. DCOM/CORBA for JSON-based RPC.

Their stated reasoning here sounds bullshit and I’m sure the actual reason is a technical one, where they’re trying to retrofit the MS accounts login system to a protocol that wasn’t designed for it and for some reason are refusing to extend the RDP protocol to support the new auth mechanism. SMB network shares probably have the same issue I’d assume.

I’m sure AD domains don’t have this problem since it uses Kerberos, otherwise this would have been a problem already decades ago.

Using the password for a public account for local login is a disaster anyway, they should have done it like Apple and kept the local login password separate from the MS account login. I have never used a MS account for local login but it sounds to me like it just leads to people using insecure passwords for publicly reachable accounts because they don’t want to type a long password every time logging into their computer.

Fantastic choice hahaha

Nice! Pretty sure cfdisk also can create a new partitioning scheme but I don’t know how right now
