As in, it’s applying a force on the pci-e slot in the direction of the back plate? That makes sense.
On the other hand, when I turn it back upright, gravity will apply a downward force on the pci-e. :(
I will try loosening the screws so the lateral force is less but still enough to counteract gravity.
You’re right the cable doesn’t insert properly. :( I’m Hoping to use this machine as a headless server with a graphics card for jellyfin transcodes, and thought that it would be better to be partially secured like this than free floating, especially when I turn the computer back upright.
But if low profile to full-size adapter brackets are standardized, that seems like a better solution. It was just too funny to not take this picture.
Definitely supported the Republicans. It was a red flag to hold opinions like this:
Here is our official response, also available on the Mastodon post in the screenshot: Corporate capture of Dems is real. In 2022, we campaigned extensively in the US for anti-trust legislation. Two bills were ready, with bipartisan support. Chuck Schumer (who coincidently has two daughters working as big tech lobbyists) refused to bring the bills for a vote. At a 2024 event covering antitrust remedies, out of all the invited senators, just a single one showed up- JD Vance. By working on the front lines of many policy issues, we have seen the shift between Dems and Republicans over the past decade first hand. Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost. Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.
He’s not wrong about the Democrat party choosing the establishment over the progressive wing, but the idea that he supports the Republicans as being more likely to reign in tech companies is so laughable it’s not even funny, and makes you wonder why Andy Yen believes it.
What other commenters have said before though is true: aside from this incident with the CEO, Proton has been careful to stay politically neutral and on message… It damaged their public trust but didn’t destroy it.
Cory Doctorow says put gravel in your shoes. Yrmv
Fuck that I might as well answer them wrong then. Bullshit
Oh God please let something related to it be called crow
Boards of Canada set it to music very well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-FI6D8ZXpc
Now that the show is over
And we have jointly exercised our constitutional rights
We would like to leave you with one very important thought
Sometime in the future, you may have the opportunity
To serve as a juror in a censorship case or a so-called obscenity case
It would be wise to remember that the same people
Who'd stop you from listening to Boards Of Canada
May be back next year to complain about a book, or even a TV program
If you could be told of what you can see or read
Then it follows that you can be told what to say or think
Defend your constitutionally protected rights
No one else will do it for you, thank you
Can someone grep Wayland and tell us what you find?
IDK how I would do that on my phone.
Can’t believe it’s been 9 years since that drama
You’re the mom now, cat!
I love research telephone :D
Am I? Or does it think I’m a bot?
I guess it’s on brand for Google to try and squeeze more value out of a product by making it worse for users. Just like Prabhakar Raghavan ruined Google search.
At first I misread this as binaural butts
Could you please enlighten me on one small point:
When it asks you to click all the squares with a motorcycle, etc., does it expect you to include the squares with just a tiny part of the motorcycle or rider, or does it just want you to select the main squares?
That makes sense – different features are important to different folks.
For emojis on IRC I just use the system keyboard. So it’s easy on my phone, but hard on a computer. I didn’t know that matrix had an emoji button – I guess I haven’t missed it :p
It’s true that IRC doesn’t pull scrollback the first time you join a room in any implementation I’m aware of. I’m ok with this limitation though because I tend to stay joined to the rooms I want to read. I like hexchat, although I’m aware that it’s a dead project :'(
We agree on Matrix angering us lol.
I’ll fight.
I haven’t seen replies be useful at all, in fact they actively clutter the UI.
Editing and reactions are nice, but they’re not that important.
IRC already has emoji support 😀 and offline history sync, and is way smaller and faster.
The one feature I like better on Matrix vs IRC clients is it is way easier to actually connect to the server. Just type in matrix.org or whatever it autofills for you, and you’re in. No dealing with port numbers and proper syntax. This is an improvement.
I wanted to like matrix but it was too clunky for me. I wish more people used libera chat though, it is less active than it was 10 years ago or whatever.
It depends if the hardware is locked down or not
🥵
