potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto Technology@lemmy.world•WhatsApp to get channel subscriptions, promoted channels, and ads in StatusEnglish2·3 days agoI tried before, but I made my life hell on earth. I only have whatsapp now because its mandatory. Since 2022, I only have lemmy, mastodon and unfortunately whatsapp as social media.
potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto Technology@lemmy.world•WhatsApp to get channel subscriptions, promoted channels, and ads in StatusEnglish2·3 days agoIf it was that simple… I agree that we need to get off Meta, but this country runs on Whatsapp, if I don’t have one, I can’t even talk to customer service or talk to anybody really.

potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto Linux@programming.dev•The Latest X.Org Server Activity Are A Lot Of Code Reverts4·4 days agoYeah, I think a fork fits that purpose too.
About Lunduke 2.0, Idk, but i feel a mixture of distrotube (like the gun video) + luke smith + a lot of people from that era maybe.
potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto Linux@programming.dev•The Latest X.Org Server Activity Are A Lot Of Code Reverts13·4 days agoYeah, I see that the fight is a bit ambiguous, CoC, etc, but even linus himself got to him in 2021 because of mRNA vaccines. His work was important, but breaking things in a project that’s so old, and with so many things depending on it (like my old computer), and turning into Lunduke 3.0 seems very bad.
This happened in a release version and in the git version too, I tried the git version after seeing the problem in the release version.
Edit: Idk, but this blunder might have make xorg deprecated a lot faster than even before this.
potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto Linux@programming.dev•The Latest X.Org Server Activity Are A Lot Of Code Reverts30·4 days ago“There was also a revert to avoid unnecessarily breaking the NVIDIA driver. It was also commented by NVIDIA that some additional requests for other reverts are coming too.”
Did this dude break resume/suspend on nvidia in x11? I think last year x11 on nvidia just stopped suspending at some time (I was trying some things on x11) and in wayland it worked, I even moved to xorg-git, but the errors persisted. If this is related, dude was/is the worst developer ever.

I deleted a post because it was the dumbest shit ever written by humanity. I was drunk at the time…
potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto Linux@lemmy.world•GNOME's Busy Week With Disabling X11 Session By Default, Greater systemd DependenceEnglish111·5 days agoThe anti-systemd manifesto on the website: we should have 5000 different packages with no integration whatsoever to manage the OS internals like ntp, services, timers, dns, etc.
I see that a monopolizing software is bad, but it just helps make a working computer work well.
potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto Linux@lemmy.world•GNOME's Busy Week With Disabling X11 Session By Default, Greater systemd DependenceEnglish111·5 days agoMost healthy phoronix discussion in the comments, systemd, x11 and rust too.
In my opinion systemd helps a lot, dns becomes a lot easier (like managing dns-over-tls), managing services becomes fine (even managing zram on distros without the zram configuration package), etc, so I see why they would want to change some internal stuff to use systemd, less chores on the devs.
potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•For those who as kids also wondered what would happen if you cut out "SIM card" from bank card, this stupid rulepost is for youEnglish31·6 days agoThese cards have different informations inside of it, so checking for credit card number + the secret number is different than the cell phone number + carrier information, etc, so it gives mumbo jumbo to the reader if it’s not the same type, but people already know that. Sorry for commenting irrelevant information.
But good to know that a credit card can’t just have a random cell phone information hahaha.

potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Proprietary software's inferiorities, such as this control center downgrade, remind me of that one Dhar Mann video where kids enjoy homemade food and insult what the "award winning pastry chef" made.3·9 days agoMy tablet draws 4.5w at peak, at low loads it draws almost nothing (x86_64 tablet), maybe it’s the design of the laptop/tablet, but mine just consumes the same even with waydroid on, maybe setting efficiency in the BIOS help, but idk. On windows it just consumes a power plant every minute, linux is just efficient.
Maybe he’s cold. Try coating the fish with algae.
