In the middle of all the gimp naming controversy, if there's a name I would stick to with ease, it would be something involving the green pepper.

From what I've read, they often get trapped in human-made containers and die. The containers are also often less resistant and durable. However, it seems to be still unclear why they do that, if purely by lack of proper shells, or if they see some advantage in some containers.

Felt sad for that last crab who ended with a shell worse than the original :(

Holder of one-fifth of the world’s fresh water, the Amazon is beginning the dry season with many of its rivers already at critically low levels, prompting governments to anticipate contingency measures to address issues ranging from disrupted navigation to increasing forest fires.

“The Amazon Basin is facing one of the most severe droughts in recent years in 2024, with significant impacts on several member countries,” stated a technical note issued Wednesday by the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization, which includes Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela.

Ahead of Android 15's launch, Android 14 is on at least 13% of active devices by nossaquesapao in c/android@lemdro.id

That's what you get when you require users to get a new device in order to run newer software. I would gladly run the newest version, if I could just update my os, but since I can't, I will be running this old version for as long as I have to...

In this world of enshittification and organizations becoming more and more aggressive, it's so nice and refreshing to see proton doing the opposite and moving to a better model :)

Wait, other people don't do that? Well, that explains a lot... Since I was a kid, I never understood how people treated their stuff so badly and throw stuff away without a second thought. I take care of my stuff for as long as I can, and almost never throw anything away. They're like companions who walk with me in my life, and I'm never giving up on an old friend.

As someone who worked (trying to) teaching people how to use computers, I can tell you that windows isn't user friendly. People just got used to it. I had a far easier job when teaching how to use android and a gnome gui.

I love the reader mode, it helps me stay sane, avoiding distractions and being able to use some heavy news sites on my low end devices. I wonder if there's a way to automatically open sites in the reader mode when it's available.

The system booted normally after the energy was cut, but if I try to run a dnf update again, I get this error:

The error mentions using "dnf clean packages", but it only downloads the packages again, and the same error happens. I tried searching for a solution, and found people recommending running "dnf upgrade --allowerasing --best " and "dnf distro-sync", but both these commands result in an error saying that the operation would lead to systemd and systemd-udev being removed.

Did someone experience similar issues? How did you solve it?

EDIT: I ran "dnf reinstall" on the conflicting packages, and it seemed to work for most of them, except for at-spi2-core. However, I noticed that the conflict was between the i686 and the x86_64 package, so I removed wine along with all i686 packages and tried again. It worked, and I managed to complete the upgrade, but I would still get the following error when running "dnf update":

Last metadata expiration check: 1:20:21 ago on Fri 26 Jan 2024 05:02:36 PM -03.
Dependencies resolved.

 Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: systemd, systemd-udev
Nothing to do.
Complete!

So I did a dnf reinstall systemd systemd-udev and it finally solved the issue.

Thanks for the interest in helping. I will leave the post here in case someone else has a similar problem and google for it.

Are there alternatives to google scholar and google patents? (lemmy.eco.br)

submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by nossaquesapao@lemmy.eco.br to c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Due to my line of work, I find myself having to use both these services frequently, despite avoiding google as much as I can. I see a lot of alternatives out there for internet searching, but when it comes to specific fields, alternatives tend to be scarce.

The fall of Firefox: Mozilla's once-popular web browser slides into irrelevance by nossaquesapao in c/firefox@lemmy.ml

Sad to see such article written as if it was all firefox's fault, instead of google and apple's anticompetitive (and probably illegal) strategies playing a great role.

Após muitos anos da disney influenciando leis de diteitos autorais a seu favor, não teve mais jeito e as primeiras animações do Mickey já entraram em domínio publico nessa virada de ano.

Can someone ELI5 why some apps need to support X11/wayland? (lemmy.eco.br)

submitted 10 months ago by nossaquesapao@lemmy.eco.br to c/linux@lemmy.ml

12 comments fedilink

Isn't this supposed to be a job for the window manager?

For example, my virtualbox install has some mouse pointer bugs on wayland, and I can't run waydroid on X. These things are weird to me. Shouldn't window managers abstract all that for the software we run?

So long, small phones by nossaquesapao in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] nossaquesapao@lemmy.eco.br 97 points 11 months ago

I have a theory about small phones:

I see so many people asking for smaller phones, and, at the same time, the sales aren't very good when companies give it a try. How can both be true?

I believe (from my anedoctal observations) that small phone users tend to be people who don't want to replace their phones just for the sake of getting a newer one, and use their devices for several years, resulting in fewer sales than expected.

The Open Book - An open hardware reading device that's easy to build, easy to manufacture, and easy to make your own by nossaquesapao in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

For the people commenting about prices and comparing it to kindle:

Unfortunately, open source hardware is in its infancy, and faces severe barriers of entry, but projects like this one are really nice in order to further develop the concept and make working prototypes, proving its viability.
