I'm not sure if cosmic will really be the right fit for me, but man am I excited it exists

Can't wait to see what the first really usable build for average end users looks like!

I really like the far right purple one! This is a really neat post ☺️

[-] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

That's honestly a really interesting idea, I hope more knowledgeable folks might be able to chime in!

Also, happy anniversary on lemmy, I'm glad you're here! ☺️

Meant to reply to this but it got burried in my inbox-

Im glad you got value out of it, it's a subject I care a lot about as someone who's fairly mentally ill and tries to hold myself to a high standard in how I engage with people.

Hope you have a good one :)

Huh, that'd be super interesting, given that'd be a complete about face!

And I think from a technical perspective it's actually not one? I'm not totally positive. I've usually heard it called an compatibility layer, which I think would be different from the way an emulator typically emulates a piece of hardware and its firmware

Could also have something to do with not wanting to draw the ire of Microsoft? "Emulator" kinda feels like it'd come with different implications or connotations than calling it a compatibility layer 🤷‍♂️

Hey look, corporate consolidation continues to be bad! I liked having lina Khan in charge of the ftc, can't wait to throw away every ounce of that progress 🙃

Material files has been my favorite since before I even knew it was open source. Fantastic file manager

Thats entirely valid, that took me a while to figure out too lol.

If you'd like to embed an image, you will need the image address (go to the page with the full sized image, right click or long press, and copy the image URL/address, or sometimes click on the image and if it takes you to a blank page with nothing with the image, then you can copy the address from the URL bar)

And if you only wanna post one image, you'd just paste that url as the post link

If you want more than one image you'd need to embed the other images in the post description, which you would do the same was as making a link, but with an exclamation point in front. The top will embed an image, the bottom will link to a webpage

EDIT: THIS IS WRONG, IM DUMB. the second one shouldn't have the exclamation point. No one will ever see this correction 🥲

So you'd type !,[],() without the commas, and paste the image url in (). If there's a way to insert a link through the web ui you can also just do that, leave the link text blank, and put an exclamation point in front, which is what I do on mobile :)

I went ahead and embedded two of the images to serve as an example if you view the raw comment, and/or make it so folks can see them without leaving lemmy in case you don't wanna bother faffing around with embedding them :)

[-] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

This actually gives me some thoughts for my setup! I like it, thanks for sharing!

I will say, at least on mobile I think the experience of looking at the screenshots would be much better if the images were embedded rather than linked to externally :)

Excuse you, wine ISN'T emulation, it's literally in the name W.ine I.s N.ot an E.mulator >.>

/j I knew exactly what you mean and it doesn't matter, I'm just being silly

The only one I found by searching is way out of date and doesn't seem to work. But it feels like there's got to be one out there somewhere

If you're reading this I hope you're having a lovely day :)

If you go to !videos@lemmy.world and scroll you'll see some of the posts have a youtube thumbnail image, but not all.

I wanna post YouTube videos, but no one seems to engage much without a thumbnail, which makes sense, but I'm not sure what would result in the post actually having a thumbnail

If anyone has advice or guidance I'd appreciate it :) Thanks!

EDIT: so far it seems like it's potentially a combination of what version of lemmy the posters account is running, and how that instance is configured...

My regular carry right now when I step out of the house includes:

  • A leather wallet my grandpa gave me (the circle imprints are from the quarters I use to get a shipping cart at aldi)
  • A hankerchief I made with my freind when she taught me how to use a sewing machine for the first time
  • My trusty Casio a700
  • An old field notes notebook. We had a bunch left over from Geo-Caching when I was in scouts a kid
  • A muji gel pen (I adore these pens 10/10)

And my keys with

  • A keychain from when my friend took me to see a league of legends semifinals that was being played near us
  • Two mini library cards
  • And a medication container I keep melatonin and some ADHD meds in (Non-stimulant, not that I expect cops will care if I'm pulled over 😅)

This is from Durham NC, so the text is a silly "Durham" pun. And the local mascot is a bull, so a lot of Durham themed stuff features a bull

Forgive my very sleep deprived face and weird-ass glasses, I'm not normally awake during the day and the glasses help with my sleep disorder 😅

Feel free to post your voting pictures or "I voted" stickers in the comments; seeing them makes me happy!

An interesting old video on communication. It shaped a lot of my thoughts about communication from a young age and I recently watched it again and remembered how much I love it all over again

Also, yes it's by the guy who does the "true facts about" videos

Radiofreefedi.net is a super cool internet radio with a couple stations that plays music from fediverse artists, along with a "words" station that plays non-music stuff like podcasts or other kinds of spoken programming

I've really enjoyed it and only learned about it cause someone here on lemmy mentioned it in passing, I thought I'd share so other folks know about it as well :)

One of the biggest obstacles facing workers issues in the US is the disproportionate representation that corporate interests recieve, due to funding campaigns indirectly through citizens united. Bernie highlights the end of citizens' united, and public funding for political campaigns as key pathways to fix the outsized political impact of corporate interests

As long as corporate interests bankroll political campaigns, the people we can vote for will be elected partially at the behest of companies, and will have a conflict of interest in representing American workers

She's not wrong that most foreign terrorist threats the US faces were radicalized by our own political and military involvement in other regions

Hello, I broke my laptop about a week ago and could use a hand figuring out the best approach for recovering the files when my new laptop arrives

The laptop was running fedora and would have used whatever encryption option is default in the fedora installer (The laptop required a password before it'd fininish booting so I'm pretty confident it was encrypted), which I believe would be LUKS?

If I understand correctly the ssd is a socketed sata drive, so I figured I'd buy a sata drive enclosure when I get my new laptop that'd let me plug it in via USB

I have the password I needed to boot when the device was working, if I get a sata enclosure can I access the files?

Any input, guidance, thoughts or suggestions are appreciated :)

I mean that broadly seems like a good thing. Execution is important, but on paper this seems like the kind of forward thinking policy we need
