The placement of the stove would make me not want to cook in c/badrealestate@feddit.uk

I've lived in a couple of apartments in Norway where they had a genius solution to the problems you mention (except the jet engine sound): it sends all odours to your NEIGHBOURS who have their kitchen right above or below yours ๐Ÿ˜Ž

(warning:it works both ways. So if your neighbours are cooking you better turn it on, and you better set it to superjet mode, because the strongest decides where the odours go.)

Sorry everyone but you're all missing the obvious. You see that APPARENTLY there's no WC in the bathroom? Well there you go. When you're done, close the door, and it's nicely mimetized as a drying cabinet ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Is Google going to make Android a nightmare? in c/technology@beehaw.org
[โ€“] pglpm@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is an interesting take. Could you share some resources or links to follow this line of reasoning more in detail? Especially resources that are somewhat "noob-friendly". Cheers.

Is Google going to make Android a nightmare? (arachnoid.com)

The discussion I stumbled upon, about this SSH app for Android, is really worrying. Will Google really manage to make it impossible to root your phone?

But there's more to this, it's more complicated. In the Big Picture, Google has every incentive to make these changes โ€” they lead to more security, and they're aligned with Google's corporate goals as well.

  • When talking to users, Google will emphasize control over hackers.
  • When talking to stockholders, Google will emphasize control over users.

Edit: I disagree with "they lead to more security". That's not "security", let's not turn words upside-down.

Antonym to "procedural"? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I'm desperately looking for antonyms or somewhat opposites to "procedural". Checked on some antonym dictionaries but didn't find anything. More specifically it's about "procedural knowledge".

"Unplanned" or maybe "creative" could be some possibilities, but I wonder if something more appropriate could be found.

All possible suggestions greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Edit: Thanks everyone for the great suggestions! Together they led me to choose "exploratory" as somewhat opposite to "procedural". There's a huge variety of possibilities, but this one seems to fit my context well :)

I said 'fuck you" to Slack for similar reasons. Going to same the same to Discord now.

True science! Astrophysics is one of the few fields left in which they publish by listing the authors in alphabetical order. No "seniority" and similar bullshit that's politics and not science...

Thank you for the heads-up. I've installed it and for now it's working OK. To be honest I don't mind that's unmaintained, if it works (I still use a 10-year old timer app that is just perfect for me, never found the like again).

Does anyone know of an open-source alternative to Google's "Messages" app, which takes care of SMS/text messages on my phone?

I was looking for open-source alternatives on PlayStore and F-Droid but can't really find anything โ€“ most apps seem to target some extra purpose than simply handling SMSs.

(Edit: I'd like to stay away from the "Simple Mobile Tools" line because I don't know if it's open source, and I don't like the way they promoted some apps โ€“ forcing users to update to pro and similar.)

Cheers!

[META]: ban @szmer.info? (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

It seems this community is being targeted by ad bots. I see all of them come from a @szmer.info instance (or?). Maybe it should be banned?

Thunderbird 115 Supernova on Ubuntu: anyone else got the "Couldn't load XPCOM" error? (lemmy.sdf.org)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by pglpm@lemmy.sdf.org to c/thunderbird@lemmy.world

I'm on Ubuntu 20.02, and have the older 102 version of Thunderbird installed from the http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/ppa/ubuntu ppa.

I wanted to install the new "supernova" โ€“ but not from snap or flatpack โ€“ so I downloaded the linux tarball from https://www.thunderbird.net/en-GB/thunderbird/all/ and followed the installation instructions.

As far as I can see I have all required libraries, but when I launch thunderbird it complains that

XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /opt/thunderbird/libxul.so:
libXtst.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.

I can't find any libXtst on apt, but I do have the latest libxtst6. So I don't understand the problem.

Anyone else has this problem and maybe a solution? Cheers!

Edit: I see that it's available on the beta ppa, but that's only for Ubuntu 22.02+. Probably I just have to wait until it's available in the stable ppa too...

New to gemini: any capsules on physics and probability theory? (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

Hi everyone. I discovered gemini a day ago (although I used gopher back in the day), and am trying to start exploring it.

Can anyone recommend capsules (is this the correct term for user pages?) about physics and probability theory? or capsules that provide indices about these topics? In the long run I'd like to contribute too.

Thank you very much!

Are there foundations similar to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, but with more international focus? (www.eff.org)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/1819391

I'm a member of the EFF, and its activities are great, but understandably have slightly more focus on USA-related matters. I say "but" just because I don't live in the USA.

Are there similar foundations that operate and focus/prioritize more on an international level? I don't manage to find any, but probably I'm doing the wrong kind of search.
