I have tinnitus with two different frequencies constantly blaring in my ears from target shooting and loud concerts sans ear protection.

You’ll be able to tell the difference in a quality pair of headphones, trust me.

I hope this changes your life.

Trust me, those Sennheisers will benefit from an amp. I thought the same thing about my HD 650s before I heard them with an amp in the audio chain.

Seriously, it feels like 1999 internet. And I’m loving it!

Try submitting a pull request for something in one of the core repos.

They behave as if every line of code in your commit is a sentence proclaiming “Why yes, your wife is a whore, your dog doesn’t love you, AND your baby is ugly.”

I’m not kidding, there’s no hyperbole in that statement. Go read some of their declined pull requests threads for some entertainment.

Even those who try to contribute to the project get eventually feeling pushed out.

Submitting a pull request to one of their repos on Github was really an experience, and I can tell you that I will never submit another one to the Lemmy project while they’re still the lead devs based on that experience.

It is an absolutely fantastic (and bizarre) game with an addictive game loop. It reminds me of Stardew Valley in that you can just play it and chill, it’s one of those kinds of games; you won’t be super challenged while playing it, but that’s OK, it’s not that type of game. It has a basic storyline, good humor, and the mechanics of the game also expand quite a bit as compared to the beginning of it. I’ve told multiple people “Don’t look up reviews or videos, just buy this blind/sight-unseen and play it.” and there hasn’t been a single person that hasn’t enjoyed the shit out of it. I’d buy it again for twice the asking price. It’s just fun.

So yeah, 10000% recommend.

Unlawful harvesting of jellyfish? Dave the Diver.

Eh, it depends. Other low-level things (systemd, glibc, etc) need a reboot too.

It’s likely because they use it as the primary/unique identifier for the account, which is just dumb. It’s like they’ve never heard of a UUID/GUID before.

They really don’t, though. Inclusion/exclusion operators work most of the time, but it’ll still return results with explicitly-excluded keywords. It also fucks up results by returning entries with similar words to your query, even when you double-quote a part of the search term. Advanced queries that use booleans and logical AND/OR don’t work at all anymore, that functionality has been completely removed. It returns what it thinks you want, not what you actually want, even when explicitly crafting a query to be as specific as possible.

I use Kagi for search now and it’s 1000x better, especially when researching technical issues; it’s like when Google actually respected your search terms and query as a whole.

Does liber office make .docx files and export to pdf?

It does. It’s fine as a replacement for Word, but no one has an answer for Excel. LibreOffice Calc is fine for a basic spreadsheet, but Excel is in a completely different universe than Calc with anything beyond that.

To be fair though, Excel is in a completely different universe than literally any other competing product.

The fact that Firefox isn’t listed as a browser alternative but Brave is throws any credibility that this article might have straight into the garbage.

Suggesting Brave anything throws its credibility into the shitter, much less multiple times in multiple categories.

It has become copypasta, but it is pretty much a direct quote of something Stallman said.

God I love the Cisco Call Manager default hold music and I don’t know why. I don’t mind holding at all when it’s this.

I’m considering switching everything to Debian eventually, but there’s a couple dedicated repos that make using Fedora on my laptop much easier for now.

I’d recommend against that. Debian is fantastic for a server, but I think it leaves a lot to be desired as a workstation OS as compared to Fedora.

You can get it there/make it that way, but Fedora is just better from a user experience/convenience perspective out of the box.

and pushed the staff turnover rate in my department to 95%. They ended up having to outsource the function to an overseas firm.

Sounds like their reason behind implementing the RTO plan was successful then.

BTW, any authenticator app works when it tells you to use one. They all use a standard, so it doesn’t matter which one you use.

Eh, it’s a little more nuanced than that, there’re more standards for MFA code generation than just TOTP.

And even within the TOTP standard, there are options to adjust the code generation (timing, hash algorithm, # of characters in the generated code, etc.) that not all clients are going to support or will be user-configureable. Blizzard’s Battle.net MFA is a good example of that.

If the code is just your basic 6-digit HMAC/SHA1 30-second code, yeah, odds are almost 100% that your client of choice will support it, but anything other than that I wouldn’t automatically assume that it’s going to work.

Bet it’ll be their own special flavor of Python that doesn’t play nice with literally any other packages or interpreters.

It’s literally just Python and it says that it supports standard packages/modules. And Guido Van Rossum works at Microsoft now, there’s no way he would let them bastardize it, he would’ve quit before that happened.

I don’t understand why people will find any reason to shit on anything while not even (seemingly) reading the article. If you did, I’m sorry, but it really doesn’t seem like you did.

But yeah, fuck it, let’s rip it all out and just keep the VBA integration until the heat death of the universe.
