  • Yes, but you've also said that referring to people as "black" is dehumanising, and then you were asked what word you'd use instead.
    At this moment it isn't unreasonable to think the context has changed from porn community titles to your personal thoughts on how to refer to a specific ethnic group in any situation.
    That's how I (and I assume many others) read the situation.

  • New hypothetical spacetime structure just dropped

  • Calling black people "ebony" is like calling white people "porcelain". It's romanticising their skin colour. It may make sense for things like porn, but please don't refer to any group with that sort of name in a normal context. It's incredibly weird.

  • Perhaps.

    There may be easier ways to test for this, but what comes to mind is if you install your current OS again on another partition and then leave it as you usually do, and see if the fans do the same thing. If they do, it might just be a fault with the fan control or sleep state or something.

    If it doesn't happen, I'd assume something fishy is going on. Maybe try and set up a script to log your CPU usage and what's using the most every few minutes. That might catch something?
    I've just now had another thought. If it's trying to be covert, maybe just leave your task manager / htop open and don't touch anything for a while, it might think you're afk and start running again. If it doesn't, it could be checking to see if common monitoring tools are running and stopping itself to avoid detection, if that's the case you'll have to be a bit smarter about trying to catch it.

    tl;dr Maybe. Run a virus scan if you can, or try and find it yourself if you think you can. If all else fails, nuke the OS and start again.

  • It was pretty easy to spot in htop since it had really high CPU usage. Plus, the command line args it launched with included the word "Monero" multiple times, so that was a bit of a giveaway haha

  • Yes it was, I run Zorin (Ubuntu-based) on my laptop.

  • This happened to me not long ago when I found a monero miner running on my laptop. Being a highly technical person, I feel unbounded shame.

  • Americans. Us Brits seem to be one of the few countries where everyone has an actual kettle.

    I'd compare it to having AC in your house: Most people in the US (and other countries) appear to have it, but they're basically nonexistent over here.

  • Surely that would become inconvenient at a certain point. Do you constantly plug your device into a 4K TV to get the most screen real estate?

  • No coconut?

  • Nothing happens for me in the UK either.

  • I technically use the stock launcher... from my first ever Android, the OnePlus One. It used to ship with CyanogenMod preinstalled, which had the Trebuchet launcher. I got used to that, so when CM died I found Evie on the Play Store which is a port of Trebuchet. I still use it to this day!

  • Why stop there? Can you even call yourself computer literate if you can't manually flip the bits in your RAM to perform basic tasks?

  • There appears to be a workaround in that thread:

    To force ion-input to not steal focus, Set ion-button with attribute tabIndex="1", Set ion-input with attribute tabIndex="2"

     jsx
        
    
         setValue(e.detail.value)} />
         setValue("foo")}>foo
    
    
      

    As a side effect, the ion-button will take on a border when focused. Add to css to remove the border.

    ion-button:focus{ outline: none; }

    Though I'm not entirely sure how this would work with the dynamic nature of a Lemmy feed.

  • I heard that with the rising popularity of the Steam Deck, EAC is working on Linux compatibility (at least through Proton). In fact, I think it's been available for developers to switch on right now.

  • This is exactly why I have mine! Sent this from an Xperia 5 III :)

  • Because the a in woman is pronounced the same way the e in women is pronounced...

    woman = wum-en
    women = wim-in

    Yeah I'm gonna have to disagree with you there, chief.

  • I imagine it's the fear of missing out on something even better. Think about it like this: If switching to this new board was so good then it's entirely possible that there could be one that's even better, so you might as well try as much as you can since there are effectively unlimited combinations of parts.
