    Congratulations!

    Small reminder, if you don’t remember from last time it was posted to all communities on lemmy, this is still a project by cryptobros:

    What is the relationship between Radicle and the Radworks ($RAD) token?

    Radicle is a true peer-to-peer protocol. It doesn’t use nor depend on any blockchain or cryptocurrency.

    Radworks, the organization that has been financing Radicle is organized around the RAD token which is a governance token on Ethereum.

    This doesn’t pass the smell test.

    • Instructs to pipe the output of curl in sh
    • Assumes that sh is bash [1]
    • “Community” behind it is apparently originating in Berlin, and is now a “nonprofit foundation in Switzerland”, but has no publicly disclosed legal structure anymore.
    • “Community” behind it uses discord, but not revolt, matrix, simplex or others.
    • “Community” behind it uses twitter, but not mastodon.

    It’s a strange diagram but shows what you have to know. If you ever seen different keyed m.2 cards, you should understand this. The important thing is the location of the keys, the notch. All m.2 cards has an ‘up’ and ‘down’ side, it shows only the ‘up’ side. You have to look inside the receptor to see the pins, that’s why it shows both sides, it’s not possible to see one side only on the receptor as they are in a plastic casing. Usually you can’t see the pins on the mobo, only the key.

    You can see a similar diagram on wikipedia, both sides of receptor, top side of card:

    https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ed/M2_Edge_Connector_Keying.svg/560px-M2_Edge_Connector_Keying.svg.png

    The offset you were writing about doesn’t matter, it actually helps. You can’t accidentally insert the card upside down. The location of notches also help with this, as not all possible notches used yet, but in the future it could change.

    These connectors are really small. The receptor is similar how sodimm connector works, but smaller. Are you also afraid about inserting a ram in an laptop? It’s basically the same.

    Read more about the connector in wikipedia, I’m really happy this slowly replaces sata, msata, mpcie and even pcie in current pcs.

    You seem to love spreading misinformation on the web. Why are you commenting 4 times if you are not familiar with the topic?

    This is an m.2 connector. You have to secure it with a screw on the other side. It’s nearly impossible to mess it up.

    Apple frequently uses proprietary connectors, I don’t know which one you are reffering to. I won’t guess because I’m not very familiar with all apple connectors.

    You don’t have to comment on a topic if you are not familiar with. Please stop.




  • I just read the article and they say exactly what I guessed:

    “This approach would guarantee stability on the appointed release day, but was proving unpopular with consumers looking to adopt the latest features and hardware support as well as silicon vendors looking […] to align their Ubuntu support,” Canonical’s Brett Grandbois explains.

    But to “provide users with the absolute latest in features and hardware support, Ubuntu will now ship the absolute latest available version of the upstream Linux kernel at the specified Ubuntu release freeze date, even if upstream is still in Release Candidate (RC) status.”



  • My bank’s 2FA works only via their app or via SMS. For SMS I would have to pay per each received SMS.

    The app perfectly works without safetynet, with microG, rooted with magisk but hidden by zygisk, so I’m lucky. At one update they added a popup at start after login about asking to add my card to Google Wallet (or whatever it’s called nowadays), and it’s not implemented in MicroG, so I can’t open it since that version. I just downgraded to the last working version and blacklisted its upgrades in Aurora, and I hope they won’t block my old version in the near future.

    It’s a very progressive small local bank, I will contact them about this issue if they block my old version to make that dialog optional.

    18 minutes video about how windows is bad, posted to literally the biggest linux circlejerk forum of the interwebs. Oh a misleading ad trying to sell the same thing as haveibeenpwned, classic.

    Nowadays if someone is annoyed by these things can switch to Linux, nearly all games work ootb, hardware acceleration and drm is also working in browsers. For a home user, competitive gaming is the only thing which is not on par with windows.

    For company environments where they use software which is windows only, group policy is there, sysadmins can lock down computers that it basically looks like a kiosk with only the few programs the employee need, no notifications, no ai bullshit, these annoyances only affect home users.


  • How do you make old people happy by messaging on signal? What makes a text based messenger “fun”?

    I enjoy speaking with my friends on signal, because - you know - they are my friends.

    My use case with stickers: when they were a new things, I saved like 3 packs, and I never felt the need to look for a new one.

    About links: there are far better tools and services to store your bookmarks than a text messenger. Personally I use self hosted wallabag, but there are a lot others, and all web browsers has some bookmark feature, I don’t know why you want to store them in Signal.

    The stickers are not in the app for privacy reason. This website is not run by the foundation, but by the community. Read more about how stickers work in the blog post: https://signal.org/blog/make-privacy-stick/

    I think you have a preconception about what you want, maybe it’s discord, or I don’t know which service you think about as “ideal UX” or “for young people”. But if you start to think about that all that bells and whistles are actually just distractions. The only important thing in the long run will be communication, and Signal is good with that.




  • Yes that is another option. I know 7zip works there, win11 is mostly the same as win7 under the hood, but I would install a supported frontend instead of fiddling with the registry, tweaks like that can break after updates

    I don’t use windows personally, just set it up for others. I don’t care enough to tweak the registry for them, if there are more convenient solutions
