How easy is it to switch back to windows? by linucs in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[-] linucs@lemmy.ml 14 points 5 months ago

I know it's not what you're asking but switching back is truly horrible, I have to use w11 at work and I hate every second of it. One drive shoven down your throat, Xbox stuff wants to install something everytime I update, installing stuff from random exes found on websites (I know the store exists but it sucks if your needs are not "I want to install candy crush"), changed something in your path variable? Reboot! Wtf? I really hope microsoft abandons windows in favour of its cloud apps for people who need it and lets Linux distros rule the desktop world

What are you currently excited for? by linucs in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[-] linucs@lemmy.ml 14 points 5 months ago

Not from the UK but excited for that too. Asking just out of curiosty because I'm not too informed on the matter, do you really like the labour program or just happy to see conservatives kicked out?

Also I was thinking we should stop calling them conservatives and start calling them retrogrades since (at least in my country) they want to strip people of acquired rights making us go back in time.

The birth (or death) of a relative, the release of a new program, game, series, movie, the date you were dreaming about, could be anything

I know that naming variables is one of the biggest unsolved problems of Computer Science but how would you name a boolean flag to be self explanatory? (lemmy.ml)
submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by linucs@lemmy.ml to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

What I mean is: some boolean flags are perfect for the real world phenomenon they are representing e.g. is_light_on makes you understand perfectly that when it is true the light is on and when it is false the light is off.

There are other cases in which if you didn't write the code and you don't read any additional documentation, everything is not clear just by looking at the variable name e.g. is_person_standing, when true it's clear what that means but when false, is the person sitting? Lying? Kneeling?

I'm obviously not talking about cases in which there are more states, boolean would of course not be a good solution in those cases. I'm talking about programs in which there are only two states but it's not obvious, without external knowledge, which ones they are.

Is there any scientific study about where should the bed be facing? (lemmy.ml)
submitted 9 months ago by linucs@lemmy.ml to c/askscience@lemmy.world
28 comments fedilink

This is something I always wondered because some people have a bunch of theories about whether your head should face north or south or whatever, because of the earth magnetic field. Is there any science in this or just "superstition"?

Also, would it be better to have the head towards a window or away from a window, even if closed (e.g. in winter)?

I'm basically asking whether there exist "recommendations" on how to structure a bedroom backed by science.

Why did groups of human beings migrate to northern zones of the world, and how did they survive? (lemmy.ml)
submitted 9 months ago by linucs@lemmy.ml to c/askscience@lemmy.world
7 comments fedilink

After reading the abstract of the paper mentioned here I started wondering, why did human groups migrate away from southerner (warmer) places towards the north which is far colder and has less possibilities to grow crops and wild animals to hunt?

Was the population density too high?

And after they migrated, what did they mostly survive on? Were they hunters-gatherers? Did they cultivate? Was it not more difficult to survive in colder climates?

What Are Your Favorite FOSS Android Apps? by linucs in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[-] linucs@lemmy.ml 15 points 10 months ago

I would recommend RethinkDNS instead of NetGuard, it has the same firewall capabilities but it also lets you change DNS (with Dnscrypt / DoT / DoH) and also lets you connect to a Wireguard VPN. It's amazing.

Help needed: can't install new Android extensions (lemmy.ml)
submitted 10 months ago by linucs@lemmy.ml to c/firefox@lemmy.ml
3 comments fedilink

Whenever I try to install an Android extension, except for the Recommended ones, by pressing "Add to firefox", I'm prompted to download the .xpi file and when it finishes I press " Open file" but I get an error saying I don't have any app which can open those files.

Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know how to fix it?

I'm on Mull 120.1.0

I think they should've done a community contest like for the wallpaper. But even more I think Plasma (or more in general KDE) should work on brand identity first and then, given the direction, decide a clear, original and distinct logo / wallpaper / whatever style.

Why do trees stems grow new "parts" inside and not outside i.e. why is the oldest part of the stem the innermost "ring" and not the outermost? by linucs in c/askscience@lemmy.world

YSK: Threads soon joining the fediverse. by linucs in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

I felt the same way but then I read this and changed my mind about it https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/07/what-to-know-about-threads/

Thinking about it I'm in an European country where Whatsapp is the default messenger app, if it had interoperability I could be on another FOSS app and be tracked by Meta just when I talk to people who are on Whatsapp and be free when talking to people not on Whatsapp, this could be great to make people switch "clients", which is damn hard now because "everyone is on Whatsapp". Interoperability is the shit and we should embrace it!

Why should someone not like trams? I love them because you also get to watch out of the windows compared to the metro
