Democrats should have listened to Bernie Sanders, historians say in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You don't need permission to lead. But Bernie's MO is to say good things then hope others DO them. He likes being the outsider with no responsibility or dirt thrown his way from trying to get things done.

I get we have to do this, but I'm sick and tired of playing defense. Be nice if there was a Democrat or Liberal plan to rally behind when we have the majority. Something relatively comprehensive so we don't end up relying on single issue voters.

The problem, if you look at the data, is lots of women voted for Trump too.

They'll keep doing it until they face actual consequences.

Please ban data caps, Internet users tell FCC in c/[email protected]

But bandwidth is only limited in points in time, not usage over a month. Makes sense to limit in times of congestion, but not outside that. That is the OP's point.

The data caps also discourage 4k adoption.

Based on Russian losses lately, that's a DAY'S worth of troops.

Yeah, it is common to drop high school and college jobs unless it is relevant to the job you're applying for OR it is your first job out of college and want to emphasize your work effort.

Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I've played the game since 2015 when all we could do was walk around a hanger. When it comes to where SQ42 is at, we are being lied to about where it is. Them saying at Citcon that SQ42 is just 2 more years away is a dead giveaway that they are absolutely no where near a release, and the 2026 year is pure fiction. Like I said, they've been saying 2 years away since 2016.

The VoIP in progress binary sensor ... (midwest.social)
 

Hey all, anyone know if there are any directions on how to swap out to the assist_satellite from this depreciated sensor? Normally when there is a swap like this, the Home_Assistant folks give us some directions, but I can't find squat on this.

Linux equivalent to Robocopy? (midwest.social)
 

Hey All, When my desktop was Windows, I'd use my desktop to rip DVD/Blu-rays, move them to the movies folder, then use robocopy to copy just new files from my desktop to my Plex server. Used switches to copy just the new files and folders.

What is the Linux equivalent to do this?

VOIP softphone in Linux (midwest.social)
 

Hey All,

I'm looking for a good softphone in Linux. I tried Linphone, but it had the same issue I had in Windows where I could send texts ok, but can't send and receive calls. In Windows, I used Microsip since it worked as soon as I configured it. Linphone seems to be "special." Any suggestions?

And I don't care about video calls.

Dark Mode Question (midwest.social)
 

Hey all, noob here. In the system settings of Pop OS I chose dark mode. At first everything was fine. But something happened. This issue is only happening in the Show Applications area. It is dark mode, but the text is all black instead of switching over to a lighter color like it did before. Makes it tough to read as you can see in the screenshot. I've tried flipping to light mode and then back to dark mode several times of varying length with no success. Any tips to get it back to normal?

Bonus issue: I have uninstalled OpenRGB, but it is still showing up in the app list as you can see in the screenshot. Any way to remove it? If I reinstall OpenRGB, I get a second icon.

How to install apps in other locations? (midwest.social)
 

So just got my computer switched over to Pop! OS.

When I open the Pop Shop, the installers don't give me an option to change the location of the app installs. I have 4 disks, 2 nvmes, 2 hard disks. I would prefer to install some of my apps to the 2nd nvme, which I have mounted to /Apps. Mainly the games I will play, along with Stream and Lutris.

Would I need to install from the terminal with apt or nala? I installed nala because it looks cleaner, but we'll see.

4k80 (midwest.social)
 

Hey everyone, I recently acquired the 4k77, 4k80, and 4k83. However, the 4k80 one looks grainy. 77 and 83 look clear in comparison. Did I just get a bad copy, or does 4k80 have issues?

IP Phone to Home Assistant (midwest.social)
 

Has anyone got Home Assistant to work with an IP phone as a local voice control?

I have a Grandstream GXP 2140, and I cannot get it talking to HA for the functionality. It doesn't have the same settings as the Grandstream pots to IP Phone device from the article.

I have Whisper and Piper installed, and showing up under the Wyoming protocol. I have the IP Phone addon installed, but it never detects my phone.

Assist Widget (midwest.social)
 

Hey everyone, I've started playing around with Assist to use voice to kick off actions. However, I want to put an Assist widget on my Android home screen. The directions from HA say to open your widgets, go to Home Assistant, then long press the Assist widget. However, when I go to select a widget, there is no Assist widget available.

I have Assist setup and I can access it from the mobile app. But I would like a shortcut so I can quickly access it.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Or is the documentation out of date?

Phone: OnePlus 9, running Android 13.
Hopefully this isn't an OxygenOS issue.

Meta's Threads.net (midwest.social)
 

Are we going to block Meta's Threads.net? I get it if people want to keep things open. However, Meta is a proven bad actor. They claim they didn't put in ActivityPub because it was too complicated to get it done at launch, and they can't get EU approval of their service because of the rampant and invasive data they gather. IMHO, they are going to attempt to muscle the fediverse out of the equation.

May be a memory leak client side. (midwest.social)

Noticed my memory usage steadily increasing when I leave my Lemmy tab open after interacting with everything. I'm using Firefox on Win10.

There is a GitHub issue on it here. If you're even slightly tech savvy, keep an eye on your memory usage and see if you can reproduce it. So far it looks like a Firefox/Lemmy issue on both Windows and Linux. But keep and eye out even if you don't use Firefox.

If you do run across it, please report it in the link above.

Edit: Forgot to add, the workaround is to close your Lemmy tab in Firefox, and wait for the memory use to be cleaned up (~20 seconds), then you can re-open it.
