Not many, but plenty use various corporate applications that are Windows-only.

It's some kind of locked-down version of GlobalProtect that's integrated with a TPM module to prevent machines that aren't running our corporate image on corporate-approved laptops from being able to connect.

There's probably some kind of workaround, but I'm lazy and it's easier just to power up the Windows machine now and then.

I only ever use Windows on my work computer, and only when I need access to a resource that requires our Windows-only VPN.

But seriously, "just use linux" is worthless advice. Lots of people use Windows for specific applications that don't exist in the Linux ecosystem. For example, there are no Linux applications that come close to AutoCAD, and it simply doesn't work on Linux.

Better advice would be to get new (or newer used) hardware if possible, if you absolutely need to use Windows, since this workaround will inevitably be "corrected" by Microsoft. Then you can do whatever you like with the old hardware, such as install and learn Linux at your own pace.

If DAW means Digital Audio Workstation, have you tried Ardour?

I'm more worried about the weird white bump on her right cheek, and the short left arm on the blurry person standing in the background boat.

The best thing about this is that it's also on the x-axis.

That's a lot more clever than actually building this grotesque idea.

Headline and all content clearly generated by AI, and entirely lacking in substance.

If you take video, post it as an MPEJ.

I'd like to see that. Post it in jraphics interchange format.

You run Arch and move on.

(Am I doing this right?)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Nope. It's a lower level kernel API that has to be accessed at boot via a driver. The API I was thinking of - and I use the term "thinking" loosely, here - is an API that userspace applications can take advantage of to scan files after boot is already complete.

I've just finally contracted it for the first time. I'm vaxxed and multiple-times-boosted, so it's not that bad...

But it's still pretty fucking miserable. Ugh. The paxlovid seems to be helping some, but in return it's giving me the most horrendous taste in my mouth. Like a battery fucked a lemon in there.

What worked for you when you caught it, lemmings?

Edit: Holy cats, you guys came through! Thank you all for your various recommendations. The gist of it seems to be:

  • Definitely stay on the paxlovid (and use pineapple to deal with the awful taste in my mouth that's a side-effect).
  • Rest. Fucking REST! Do not, under any circumstances, stop resting until it's run its course. (Fortunately already doing that, since I've been feeling half-past dead.)
  • Ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and mucinex are my dear, sweet friends. (I'm already a big fan of mucinex, so I have some already.)
  • Drink a lot of water. (I have a comically oversized cup I've been using for that.)

And I gotta say... Now, as the end of the day approaches, I think I might, just maybe, be feeling a tad better. Thank you all!

 

Up until now, I've only gotten the Pfizer vaccines. And while I've reacted to them, it was never particularly bad. Light muscle aches and some fatigue were basically it. Worst was the second one - I could feel my hair follicles and eyelids with that one.

But the Moderna one seems to be quite the beast.

When I found out I could get the new Moderna, I was excited, since I've heard that mix-and-match is probably the strongest immunity you can get. And I figured it wasn't going to be that bad when after several hours, I only had some light fatigue.

But today has been awful. Consistent fever around 102.3, chills, headache, nausea, whole-body aches, and ludicrous levels of exhaustion. I've been utterly useless.

Is this what Moderna vaccines have been like all along? I'll take it over contracting COVID-19, definitely... but ouch. It's hurting me plenty.

Next morning update: Chills are gone, fever seems to be gone, muscle aches aren't entirely gone, but they're fading. All in all, 10/10 would feel like shit for a day again to help stop the spread of a dangerous disease.

 

I'm a software developer, and I'm currently noodling around with the idea of a small suite of software to help me moderate a couple communities. Right now, the features I'm thinking of are:

  • Lemmy bot integration - the suite would require a bot account.
  • Some kind of content moderation (detecting things like spam, bigotry, etc.) to flag for me to review. Similar to the mod queue on that other site.
  • Automatic removal of certain kinds of content. I figure this would be configurable, like you could choose whether your community is for text posts, for links, for videos, for pics, or some combination of everything.
  • Domain blacklists and whitelists.
  • Moderation record keeping - in other words, a database to keep track of bans, warnings, reports, etc.
  • Canned automatic messages, which would be useful to send when banning, unbanning, responding to certain types of queries, and so on. So if you use the software to ban someone, they automatically receive a notification about what they were banned for, and for how long.
  • Scheduled automatic posts, which would be configured with *.md files for content. Good for things like monthly meta threads.
  • Controls for the bot via JSON objects in private messages, which would direct it to follow commands.
  • Some kind of configurable user commands for the bot. (Haven't really figured out what this would look like yet.)
  • A simple web interface for all of this.

That's what I'm considering so far, but I'd love to get more ideas from the broader Lemmy community, and will post it on Github if it comes together.

The technology stack I'm considering is:

  • Node/Typescript
  • The lemmy-bot library
  • Sequelize for the database
  • Nest.js for the web backend
  • [TBD] for the web frontend (I hate React, so not that. Probably either Vue or Angular)
  • Docker for containerization

So what features would other Lemmy mods like to see in a Lemmy moderation suite like this?

Edit: OK, I've had a chance to take a look at the code for the existing Lemmy "automoderator" bot that's in progress, and I think I'm still leaning towards working on one of my own, partly because it looks like there's a real desire for Lemmy bots that use Node. I think there's room for two or more in the fediverse. And hopefully, we can all learn from each other. I know I'm bookmarking the Python bot and watching to see how it improves.

Anyway, I'd like to thank everyone for the suggestions! I'm hoping to get started on it this weekend. We'll see how it goes.
