Yeah the irony is palpable

It is the same thing which happened to ajax, monaco, etc when they had their impressive seasons. Nothing one can do to prevent it in the current footballing environment where the biggest clubs have orders of magnitude more spending power.

I did not expect the match to be so one sided. Alcaraz just blew him out of the water

She lasted slightly longer than a head of lettuce

That must be one plucky lettuce head considering that holly has been the director for nearly a year.

Gnome foundation will continue to thrive with and without her but she has made some decent contributions while she was there

Did you even read the article¿? She is pursuing PhD and is leaving to concentrate on that. She knows she won't be able juggle both her studies and her responsibility as a director so she is stepping down which I think is the responsible thing to do.

I think it is deal he made to break the curse /s.

LTT still treats Linux like an in-joke.

Well the only one who seemed to actually like Linux at LTT was ~~Anthony(don't know her new name)~~ Emily. Once she went to the background after her gender transition, enthusiastic Linux coverage more or less disappeared

Testing if VRR is active and working

I recently updated to fedora 40 and enabled the experimental setting to get VRR running. But I am an idiot who has been playing at frames rates between 30-60 on screens without VRR for almost all of my life so I can't even know if VRR is actually working or not. Is there some rest I can run to see if VRR is functional¿? If not, which parts of the game should I concentrate to see the difference between VRR and no VRR¿?

Edit : I am on a laptop with the integrated screen being the one being used. I am currently using ublue-main

So let me get this straight. My county banned most of the popular porn sites because of the negative influence it can have on the populace but has such a poorly written and enforced law that people who possess and watch CSAM are deemed to be not breaking the law. What the actual fuck is going on here. This is a dangerous precedent being set here and I can only hope that supreme court overrules the case and holds the guy guilty.

So I have this external 2.5" drive salvaged from an old laptop of mine. I was trying to use it to backup/store data but the transfer to the drive fails repeatedly at the ~290GB mark leading me to believe that maybe there is a bad sector on the drive. I tried to inspect the drive using smartmontools and smartctl but since it is an external drive, i was not allowed to do so. Is there anyway for me to inspect and fix this drive? I am on fedora ublue-main. The HDD is a 1TB seagate drive.

Edit : I am a linux noob so some hand holding will be appreciated. Also i am looking to use this drive only for low priority media files which i dont mind losing so please help even though it is not the greatest idea to use a failing drive

Edit 2 : It seems my post is not clear of what i am doing. I dont want to recover data from the drive. I want to try to use more of the drive for storing data

DRM error in F1TV (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Since there is no F1TV community, I am posting here. I am trying to watch the pre season test on my phone running but am running into the error in the picture. My phone is running lineageOS 20. Is this a widevine certification issue¿? Is there anyway to resolve this¿?

Edit : Further phone details - Motorola G60. F1TV app used to work normally with the stock rom(at least it did last year)

As for discover wanting to restart to do their update, that's a fedora thing for an extra level of safety while updating

That shouldn't trigger for flatpaks though. No risk of breaking the system while updating flatpaks

You have got to be the biggest promoter of immutable distros on lemmy.

Good job though. While there are some pain points with immutable distros, i feel they are great for the casual users who will just browse the web, play some games and maybe do some document reading and editing.

It is the nuclear power vs fossil fuels vs renewables debate all over again. Nuclear is much greener than fossil fuels but comes with its own challenges regarding cost, safety and waste disposal. Renewable energy like solar, wind and hydro are better than nuclear but the point is that nuclear and renewables are not enemies rather they are allies who have to band together to beat fossil fuels.

Public transport is like renewables, the best solution but one which needs time because years of underdevelopment and under-funding means that they are not as developed as they should be.

EVs are like nuclear. Not the perfect solution but have the capability to serve areas and use cases that public transport (renewables) can't. There are issues like them costing more than the alternatives and that the disposal of waste produced by both is a problem with an unsatisfactory solution.

ICE vehicles are like fossil fuel energy plants. The worst of the worst with regards to their effect on the planet. Their only advantage is that they offer convenience.

So I think we should stop the narrative that EVs(nuclear) are bad because the are not the best solution at hand but rather combine increasing adoption of both EV(nuclear) and public transport (renewables) to combat the true threat that is ICE(fossil fuel energy plants).
