  • On Linux the anti-cheat does not run at kernel level.

  • Long story short the MRI showed no impinging of the cord so we were told to just monitor it. It's slowly fading.

    The long story is that the next day the GP repeated 111's advice so we bundled up pillows and painkillers and, still very upset, we went back. After an hour the triage nurse told us that all the GP needed to do was a referral by email and we would have been admitted straight to the spinal unit.

    She then rang the GP and actually tore them a new one. It was highly satisfying.

    We spent the rest of the day in spinal, her on a bed, and got seen by excellent staff who did more explaining about the injury and what to expect than anyone else had done to that point. We were in limbo about the whole thing till then.

  • ByteDance won't sell TikTok, would rather pull it from the US
  • Let's be honest, this is only their outlook until the courts make their decision. They'll sell if that doesn't go in their favour.

  • Fuck.

    My wife and I were in this A&E 3 days later. She'd new lower body numbness appear some months into a broken back recovery. 101 said go straight there, this is a no fuck around situation.

    We get there and are advised it's a 12 hour wait, the place is rammed, ambulances are queuing and the corridors are full of gurneys and paramedics.

    My wife at this point is in tears. The broken back means sitting for an hour on a shit waiting room chair is hard work. 12 literally can't happen.

    So we leave. What else can we do.

    The situation was fucking awful, but I don't blame the staff. I felt genuinely bad for all of them - there was just a complete lack of hope on any of their faces.

  • Written by someone who apparently has no understanding of virtual memory. Chrome may claim 500MB per tab but I'll eat my hat if the majority of that isn't shared between tabs and paged out.

    If I'm misunderstanding then how the fuck is chrome with it's 35+ open tabs functioning on my 16GB M1 machine (with a full other application load including IDE's and docker (with 8GB allocated)

    The two main problems appear to still be ongoing PRs/issues; magazine/community sidebar content doesn't update and doesn't federate out at all to lemmy, and moderation actions don't federate at all (any of the various types) - which is particularly problematic.

  • Which Linux Distro is best for dogs?
  • If you need something not on steam (GOG, Epic etc) you'll also want Heroic Game Launcher which wraps those services in the same Steam Linux magic.

  • I've had a BBE for almost 4 years, I use it daily. I can create nicer tasting espresso based drinks than Starbucks and Costa and basically any other local coffee shop.

    The only people I've found locally that can do a better job are the ones who roast the beans I use - and I'd be surprised if they couldn't.

    A different perspective on things

    Probably too many insurmountable issues with filming like this during a race but would certainly add something extra.

    Played my first game of 10th. It was great, I really need to play more.

    > I had mostly no clue what I was doing. Managed 2 turns against a Death Guard force and 2 turns against a Space Marine one. (three of us with limited time)

    > I think I have some work to go before I know how to beat these two. Both are super tough and I’ve no idea how to play to my strengths.

    > PS. The fact that Typhus cleaved his way through the entire Destroyer unit in a single combat round makes me sad. They didn’t get a chance to do anything and they’re supposed to be tough (?)

    This is a seriously good lemmy client.

    It beats Relay and Boost which I used to use for Reddit in terms of UX/UI. It's great.

    Now, when I can get it to talk to my kbin instance I'll be super happy :D

    Stuttery performance on Pixel 6 Pro

    I’m getting some stutter/jank when scrolling my feed. I’m using compact mode if that helps.

    Not sure what else to add. I’m using version 0.2.4 which appears to contain (according to github) some related performance fixes but I’m still seeing it.

    https://imgur.com/0EN3TUQ

    This is a 60fps video slowed to 30fps and you can see it happening quite clearly.

    I don’t see this type of juddering on Voyager. But the MaterialU interface on Thunder is just ❤️

    Could I please have some clarification on PUBLIC_SSR_ENABLED?

    > Some selfhosters with PUBLIC_SSR_ENABLED set to true might want the instance url to be different for the server.

    I'm assuming that SSR is Server Side Rendering but I'm not sure how that applies to me, a self-hoster. Do I want to turn this on?

    Then how does the internal setting play into it?

    Thanks :)

    New instance: issues subscribing to beehaw communities

    I've just set up a new personal instance (this account is on it) but I'm apparently not able to subscribe to beehaw communities. When I click the subscribe button all I get is "Subscription Pending" no matter how much I refresh the page.

    Additionally, unlike communities on other servers the search for a beehaw one doesn't appear to bring down any posts. Is that normal?
