old.lemmy.sdf.org - subscriptions broken (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

I am logged in. The All/Local/Subscribed sections are all the same, and navigating to the subscriptions page says "There doesn't seem to be anything here."

Tried clearing cookies.

The regular lemmy.sdf.org page seems to work correctly.

To those who have already switched (whether to Credit Karma or another service): What are you using and why do you like it?

Is there a safe way to run multiple desktop environments on Ubuntu 22.04? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Pretty easy, and it's saved my bacon a handful of times. Most recently I restored from command line because I borked my display driver (legacy Nvidia user).

Aside from that instance, everything else was done through the GUI.

One word: Timeshift

What's your preferred DE? in c/[email protected]

Started with XFCE but migrated away due to bugginess with my outdated system. Next was KDE. I was pleasantly surprised by how lightweight it ended up being after hearing otherwise. Now I'm on Sway, and it makes this old computer scream!

I have absolutely jammed to the original Unreal Tournament (UT’99) soundtrack on my commute.

What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts? in c/[email protected]

Try the AutoFill keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Shift-L (or Cmd-Shift-L on Mac). Works well enough for me.

RIP. Sorry to be so negative, but the system is rigged in Sony's favor.

SSD: Best Buy (US electronics store) still had some SATA SSDs in stock, so I didn't need an adapter. This is what I got: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/pny-cs900-500gb-internal-ssd-sata/6385542.p?skuId=6385542

Take advantage of the fact that you can make Live USBs of the distros as you decide what you're looking for.

For me, I found AntiX a little too barebones for me. But your mileage will vary.

I will have to give Mint another go sometime!

A humorous look at bad UI design (youtu.be)
 

Music Software & Bad Interface Design: Avid’s Sibelius by Tantacrul (not mine)

YouTube description: "In this video, I take a detailed look at the design of Avid's Sibelius - a popular music notation application. Sibelius is the embodiment of what not to do as a user experience designer and this video covers a range of examples of inappropriate design patterns and bad user interface choices. Then I go insane.

This really is one of the great examples of breaking all UI design principles and every UX design principle too. It's like a design bull in a musical china shop."

Please educate me if this already exists and I'm not finding it. Sorting posts by New Comments is a great way to stay on top of the latest discussions.

Apple Weather's forecasts are so bad my meteorologist made a post about it (spacecityweather.com)
 

Apple Weather forecasts for my area have shown a 30-50% chance of precipitation for eternity, even when there isn't a cloud in sight. My meteorologist has told his readers to ignore Apple's forecasts.

This started around the time the Apple Weather outages a few months ago and haven't improved. YSK that you can report inaccurate forecasts from within the app, but it hasn't improved for me.

I'm currently using Foreca on iPhone and the free version of Carrot on Apple Watch.

Outlook suddenly started opening links in Edge, disregarding my default browser settings (www.theverge.com)
 

Current-era Microsoft continuing to push the boundaries of consent.

Microsoft Edge is a good browser but for some reason Microsoft keeps trying to shove it down everyone’s throat and make it more difficult to use rivals like Chrome or Firefox. Microsoft has now started notifying IT admins that it will force Outlook and Teams to ignore the default web browser on Windows and open links in Microsoft Edge instead.
