My kids have a pile of cardboard screws that they use to turn boxes into all sorts of things; rockets, forts, cars and you could probably make organizers, shelves and the like too. The screws grip the cardboard surprisingly well, and it’s easy to make even quite large structures robust.
No, you cannot meaningfully delete your posts or comments, but that’s not because of any issue with lemmy, but because you posted them publically. They will be archived and indexed in other services.
It is always best to remember that all your activity here is public, and will be linked to your username. Given that, you may wish to minimise any personally identifying information you post, and use several accounts to split up your activities by topic.
Whilst you’re right about privacy not being binary and the need to create your own threat model, the problem is that all the different parties that collect your data trade it, so if you leave one avenue open, the others that you tried to block are likely to get your data anyway. Whether this fits your personal threat model is probably an individual decision.
It sucks that we need such an extensive amount of work put in to make devices private
The issue is that, short of the extremes suggested in places like privacyguides, you’re not really making the device private. You could argue that you’re making it more private, but the counter-argument is that you’re still leaking so much data that you haven’t significantly improved your situation.
Doing something probably is better than doing nothing, but it’s not going to satisfy those who seek actual privacy. If you’ve got a particular leak that you’re worried about it’s definitely worth looking to address it though.
Try writting ‘Deceased’ on it and return it. At the very least it’ll give any human who sees it a momentary pause, and maybe they’ll take it more seriously.
Clearly fake, it says there’s a tty number in the top left corner and there isn’t.
We fix it with rockets. Circularize the orbit and set it to an integer number of days that’s divisible by 28.
That only gives you 364 daya per year and we need just fractionally less than 365.25. You end up needing an extra day every year, and if we want to keep midnight in the middle of the night, and extra full day every four years (except when we don’t). Adding those sorts of bodges onto an otherwise elegant system would be awful to work with.
Instead, I propose we build giant rocket engines pointing straight up on the equator, and adjust the Earth’s orbit until one orbit around the sun takes exactly 364 days.
I’m sure you’ve already considered it, but from that description it sounds very much like make. That compares the input files’ timestamps to the output files’ timestamps, so it might be different to your plan though.
That’s just crazy talk. If we don’t listen to the billionaires the line might not keep going up quite so fast. For the purposes of this argument, please ignore TSLA, the climatologists obviously got to that one.
That sentence was going rather predictably right up until the last word. Well done.
You dismiss the data you recorded because it doesn’t seem to support your hypothysis tgat there is greater lag in wayland, but that’s not really the right approach, and I think it points to a different conclusion.
You recorded a lag of 5 or 6 frames at 90 frames per second in both Xorg and wayland, which suggests that the lag is the same to within 0.011 seconds, and I don’t think that you can say that’s a huge difference. However, what you didn’t test is the acceleration curve on mouse movement. If that curve is different under wayland it could easily feel infuriatingly laggy without actually showing any extra delay on the movement starting or ending.
I’m not sure how you’d accurately test that, a HID device just sending mouse move events wouldn’t do it as wouldn’t mimic you accelerating the mouse from stationary, so wouldn’t exercise the acceleration curve in wayland. You might need a physical device that moves your actual mouse a fixed dustance and then measure the distance the cursor moves on screen. Repeat for different movement speeds and you might have sone useful data.
Walked across a room and pulled a muscle in my shoulder. It was painful enough that I could barely lift it for a week or so.
