pirat@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Kids are short-circuiting their school-issued Chromebooks for TikTok cloutEnglish0·5 days agoSounds great, but… unfortunately, it seems impossible to tilt on the chair with those, which I see as an essential part of going to school.
Also, the heights of the chair and table seem unadjustable, and it seems the pupil is seated too far away from the desktop to actually be comfortable.
What a useless piece of piss. Yeah, at least it’s repairable, but is such a stupid piece of faulty furniture even worth repairing?

That’s preinstalled, with AdGuard Home and WireGuard VPN on top of it. I’m looking forward to set it up and play around with it.
What do you exactly mean when you describe their approach in software as Android-like? That it’s easy to install services in OpenWRT?
pirat@lemmy.worldto Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System@lemmy.ml•how can jellyfin play radiostreams?English2·5 months agoI thought this would work - and it does! Here’s how to add radio channels as Live TV:
- From the Jellyfin homescreen menu, navigate to the Dashboard
- Click the Dashboard menu button (three stripes at the top)
- Go to Live TV
- Click the first (+) button to add a new tuner device
- Choose “M3U Tuner”
- Select your local .m3u file or paste a URL
- Click Save
- Go back to the homescreen of Jellyfin
- In the menu, click Live TV
- Switch to the tab called Channels
- If your .m3u file works, you can select any channel it contains from here.
You can even add a custom logo for each channel:
#EXTM3U #EXTINF:-1,Channel 1 tvg-logo="https://link.to/logo-ch1.png" http://liveradio.url.channel1.fake:8000/channel1-is-fake.mp3 #EXTINF:-1,RadiOmega tvg-logo="https://linking.park/logo-radiomega.png" http://liveradio.nope.omegalive:8000/y/radiomega.mp3
And rank them in the list by changing -1 to positive values IIRC.

Is no always the answer to questions in headlines?
Yes but no.
How can you know the answer to questions in headlines?
No, you know.
Why is no always the answer to questions asked in headlines?
No. The answer is no, and that does not really answer this question.

You must wait until it reaches a theory where “i” could somehow refer to some Chinese dissidents…

But again, that’s specific to that field.

But that’s getting too technical.

But still, without context, it’s hard to be precise.

pirat@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Apple Removes Ability to Run Unsigned Apps in macOS 15.1English0·6 months agoLike a fridge or kitchen appliance that rejects foods from your local store, your neighbours’ or your own produce… Pretty useless.
pirat@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What do you use to private watch YouTube?English1·6 months agoI just tried this on an Ultra.cc seedbox with yt-dlp installed, and the Fintube plugin configured to the right path for that, yet when I go to Dashboard > Fintube and click the Submit button to add a video to the download, nothing happens. Can’t figure out what’s wrong.
Maybe Jellyfin doesn’t have the necessary write permissions to write the file to that folder, but I’m not quite sure how to change those on such a seedbox, if that’s the case.
Any experience with this to share? Would the Submit button usually lead to a different view, or does it just stay on that video submission screen while the download happens silently in the background? The lack of action I experience when clicking it feels a bit awkward…
pirat@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Sweden, Norway rethink plans for cashless societies over fears that fully digital payment systems would leave them vulnerable to Russian security threatsEnglish0·6 months agoOk. The fact that you prefer it (probably because the thieve is mostly kind and generous to you) does not change the reality that it very much is theft from all those who might not agree with your societal preferences, and who did never consent to this.
Since you (or any majority in society) naturally don’t have the right to forcefully take other people’s money (or property) without their consent, it’s impossible to forward that right to the state (or any person) acting on your behalf. It does not matter how good of a deal it is to you or anyone else. That’s why it can logically be described as theft when a state collects taxes using violent force as a threat to anyone who won’t pay.

Mock Silently (mock the GPS and Network location providers) https://f-droid.org/packages/com.github.warren_bank.mock_location.silently/
Possibly you’ll have to enable dev options and set the location spoofing app in there. At least, I remember seeing the option in there, but that was years ago.

(Or force every postal service person to ignore it…)
It wouldn’t surprise me, but can you point me to a trustworthy source confirming that claim? Also, does the TikTok app refuse to work without those permissions granted (Location, Contacts, SMS, Photos and videos)?
