Ads are malware (software maliciously made to do something the user doesn't want), yes. :3

The thing is that these carbon credits make it so that things which would otherwise reduce CO2 in the atmosphere don't happen unless some money changes hands. Most of the time credits effectively do nothing.

Does it actually do that?

Just because there's some average expenditure on "sports" per child doesn't mean there's some kind of "market". It's mostly shit like gear which is already sold by companies.

Any way to prevent focus stealing on GNOME 43? (lemmy.today)

submitted 1 week ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Please don't tell me to set any dconf settings. I've already tried all of them and they do jack shit.

I'm on Debian in 12, which has GNOME 43. I never want Windows to steal focus for any reason. Is there an extension or something that can do this?

Is there a good resource for understanding this language from a technical level? (lemmy.today)

I'm looking to learn about this language from a technical level, and any searches I do on today's search engines is just going to return guides to writing Python code, which is not what I want.

I understand how C++ works. For example, I know that virtual functions are stored as a trap table in an object's instance, and the function is wrapped around something that decodes that trap table from this object instance.

I'm wondering if there's something that goes into that level of technicality with python. For example, I would want to know how function declarations (and re-declarations) work in python. Is the bytecode stored as a heap object which can be freed just as a regular heap object? Is it a map of strings within the current stack context? How does creating a thread handle it?

Its just an instance where tankies can exist in an echo chamber without having to critically think.

If you want you can read some of my comments here and watch these morons make fallacious argument after falacious argument, put words in my mouth, and project some person who makes similarly bad takes which exists inside their head onto me: https://lemmy.today/comment/17304484

So if its just a URL without the []() syntax it would be, perhaps green, and links with it could stay blue. Good semantic to avoid spam or malware links.

Anyway, have any of you seen today's XKCD? https://xkcd.com/3104

I'm currently using Fossify Gallery and I'm wondering if there's any open source gallery with facial recognition, or OCR, or something more like the corporate apps.
