So, are we done berating everybody passive-aggressively with just a sprinkle of condescension? Because maybe, just maybe, I was making a remark about the general practice of Microsoft to hide stuff behind nondescript bullshit names (especially in non-English versions where the English bullshit name gets translated literally most of the time, which yields even more nondescript results).

Maybe, just maybe, you chose the wrong comments to act up on “PeOpLe NoT rEaDiNg ThE aRtIcLe” when all that was posted about was inconsequential stuff about the precise clicks needed to turn a feature off that's not even in the respective menus yet. So this is not someone talking bullshit because they misunderstood the headline about a murder case or something.

All that was said was about practices Microsoft has abused into oblivion: Hiding stuff behind obscure menus and hiding stuff behind obscure names. The comments made were a persiflage of exactly that.

Maybe, just maybe, the precise placement and wording in a menu that doesn't even exist yet is a topic inconsequential enough that people will not read the tenth article about the general subject (Copilot becoming “opt-in”) to make sure they wouldn't miss this super irrelevant point to the story. A point which you guessed from screenshots that haven't reached production yet (even if they are likely to go into production as shown, it can still change), so your condescending attitude is based on wobbly grounds.

There are tons of articles where people post absolutely wrong and quite absurd stuff because they didn't read the article. Some of them even matter (politics, world events). So let's criticize people when they don't read through actually important articles before posting, and agree that it's okay to not read the exact article posted on unimportant sidenote stuff if one knows about the thing in general. Because if I'd be only allowed to comment on the article posted itself, I wouldn't need Lemmy, I could just comment on the site that posted the article in the first place.

Besides: You did notice that you commented on two different people, yes? Because you sure sounded like you didn't read the usernames before commenting and thought you always replied to the same guy.

And even if you find it, it will have an idiotic and obscure name, like “advanced history experience” or something absolutely nondescript

Oh yes! But ladies and gentlemen, food is boring. We, of course, will create a bright future for society with never-ending Yorkshire Tea!

So that's why my neighbor was so afraid of the b's nest in his garden!

Only text based (or CLI-T) ones

Why can't you? I don't see where the issue is. During password creation, you choose your organization and it's done. If the entry already exists, edit the entry and choose the organization under "owner". It's four clicks max. Do you use this so differently than I do?

With an email here and a meeting there, here a mail, there meet, everywhere a meet meet

That's what organizations are for in Bitwarden. They are groups you can give passwords to instead of your personal vault and people in said organizations can then see them just as their own passwords. That's exactly what you described, no?

Well,.Bitwarden is here for you. You can even self host Bitwarden and skip fees all together if you feel so inclined at some point.

And that is what I mean by OCD

People in the 30s were afraid of anyone who looked slightly different to them because they might kill humans and take their jobs. And then some fucks actually killed humans and took their jobs out of fear said humans might kill humans and take their jobs.

And the sheer amount of weird pseudo-reality-show-shovelware! Good grief, people! If you want made up content that's supposed to look like the real thing, watch porn!

Kill it with F(r)ire! (okay, this one only works spoken, not written)

Drunken “who did what with whom” (or “who did whom” in short) fights in public beat every audiobook on your way to work.

Who else has a borderline OCD to check waterfalls for caves in games?

There is no doubt that he's named for some cool reason, not because of the generation. Which is why I think my reply was funny. If he really was named “Boomer” because the owner thought it was the best generation or some bullshit, it wouldn't be funny, it would be sad.

Someone had to do it, so I'll take one for the team.

You are extremely proud of your painting, eh? Okay Boomer!

BEFORE you mess with your VNC, it is extremely important to have a backup connection. So either you have the ability to connect your pi to a monitor and a keyboard locally, or you really, really should setup SSH before you mess with your VNC server.

Use SSH with a Certificate, described here: https://raspberrypi-guide.github.io/networking/connecting-via-ssh ("passwordless") This guide doesn't show how to set up SSH, but how to install a key in a more detailed way: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-ssh-keys/

The good thing: Once you got this working, you're basically done. Just ditch VNC and go straight to SSH from now on. It's more secure and has better performance usually.

Yet, if you like your VNC and want to continue using it, you first connect via SSH do not do this while using a VNC connection! Now, first, you do all this: https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/install-vnc-raspberry-pi-os then you do a

    
sudo update-alternatives --list vncserver
sudo update-alternatives --list vncserver-x11


  

you should see tightvnc listed there. Don't freak out if one of the two returns an error that the application was not found. That's okay. Not all versions of Raspbian used the same application name in the past, so I listed them both. As long as one of them works, you're fine.

Then, you do a

    
sudo update-alternatives --config vncserver
sudo update-alternatives --config vncserver-x11


  

and change it to tightvnc. now you can stop your running VNC:

    
sudo vncserver-x11 -service -stop && sudo vncserver -service -stop
sudo vncserver-x11 -service -start && sudo vncserver -service -start


  

Once you did that, connect to tightvnc as described in the article. If this works, do sudo apt uninstall realvnc

You should now be able to connect via VNC without weird account bullshit.

k, sry for bothering you, didn't mean to cause you discomfort :(

We used to do that right after drinking from the hose!
