While I fully agree, it probably depends heavily on so you ask.

The arch package has to be built somehow. You could look at that packages source and/or content to figure out how to manually do it on your system, or wait/hope the deb is being maintained and gets fixed.

It's likely mostly some plumbing, like a systemd service with it's configuration, to get the audio routed properly.

Just to clarify since it barely came up: NFC can be used for a lot of things, digital payment just being one use case. You can also have "tags" that trigger some sort of automation when the phone is placed there (like on the phone holder in your car, on your desk, on your night stand). You can use it as a key to open doors or locks (bikes). You can transfer your contact information to someone by touching phones together. And so much more.

It's a universal way to communicate (very) short distances, with the unique property that the reading device can provide power to the item being read if needed. Not a lot of power, but no batteries needed at all for the passive side in many cases.

Doable, not practical. Another major concern is the induced dizziness and general discomfort from such a small circumference. If you stand up straight, your head moves significantly slower than your feet. There are more effects that humans don't do well with.

In addition keep in mind that this implies significant mechanical complexity the moment you don't rotate the whole craft, but only a section or ring. If you do rotate all of it, simple tasks like taking a photo become... cumbersome.

Also like others have said, it's not a permanent residence for anyone, and the main goal of the ISS is the study of low- or micro-gravity.

Somewhere between zero and 16. There is no "usually" for me.

I've had just the default KDE wallpaper for make months now. I think I'll have to switch to some of the Artemis shots tho. Might be cliche, but sorry kinda inevitable.

It's level, not flat. Measuring flat-ness is a whole different complexity and ball game.

I've noticed for a while that when playing a linked video directly in the app, it doesn't respect the global auto-rotate setting of the screen. Only today did I notice that there's a "lock rotation" button at the top of the player, but unless I'm misunderstanding something, it seems to do the opposite of that it's showing: when I see the little lock it's unlocked, and then it's just the rotation icon it's actually locked. For context, my phone's rotation is always locked, but the video always rotates on me.

In general my suggestion for the behavior for playing video would be to rotate and lock it to the "correct" orientation for it's aspect ratio. It makes no sense to play a portrait video in landscape, neither does the other way around. Rotating the phone should probably still be able to flip it 180°.

It's a massive red flag. It implies that they are actually storing the password instead of a (preferably salted) hash and that they have no idea what good security practices are. Storing a hash leads to same size strings, no matter the length on the password.

This is only a problem if you subscribe to nitro in the first place. Rookie mistake!

This sounds good on paper until you realize that what is considered "social media" is up to whoever happens to hold that position. Even ignoring the fact that it's unenforceable anyway, unless you require a real ID, wish is just straight up worse for all sorts of reasons.

The idea is nice, but actually putting it into law without opening the door to censorship and other side effects is just not plausible.

Edit: also, Everytime you read about a poll like this, ask yourself: what was the question they asked? Did it provide any context? Did it require any understanding of the actual underlying issues and laws? Or was it some variation of "think of the children"?

It's great and all (it really is), but the target audience was just presented factorio 2.0 (and space age), so we're busy for a few months.

The linked post essentially performed a benchmark of lemmy apps and if they properly display the formating options available. Sync got 3rd last place, position 18 out of 20 apps, with a score of 6.9 out of 10. There's a comment that essentially contains the test set. I hope we get some fixes, cause some of the problems have been around for a while.

In my personal experience the issues with spoiler tags, and some of the embedded images and their sizes is rather annoying. For example this comment shows perfectly fine on desktop, but becomes a garbled mess on sync (as you can tell by my comment, blaming the bot). Also note that while sync technically gets 3/3 for the images, the last image should be text-sized between the "arrows". It isn't, it's just huge (and consequently a pixelated mess).

Edit: fixed link to example comment for spoiler.

For those that really don't know: Star Trek TNG, episode "the inner light", S5E25.
