Scientology taught me that lie detectors are fake. We should use E Meters instead

They've had a few crappy ones. There was chicken soup for the soul guy.

Was it actually a TED Talk or was it one of those TED X talks?

I knew that thing was B's the moment I saw their demo.

GNOME Software May Eventually Drop RPM Support In Favor Of Flatpaks in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Dependencies are contained in the flatpak. That's why something like zenmap. Which requires python 2. Can run on a system that doesn't have python 2 installes

[Solved (gave up)] Any Android Qr app (preferably Open Source) that allows decoding via "open with" or share? in c/technology@lemmy.world

That's weird. I just tried to make a QR code and save it as an image and it worked just fine for me.

Any existing Linux solutions for tracking energy/cpu usage (trend, not snapshot)? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] TxTechnician@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

I know that the system monitor app that's included in KDE has a pretty extensive custom page tracking option.

You can open it up and then put in a whole bunch of like settings in a new page and track pretty much every metric that your computer has.

https://github.com/wewewe718/QrAndBarcodeScanner

It's available on F Droid.

I really like this app, like it just works really well and it also allows you to generate barcodes too.

Oh that makes sense.

Really? Why not?

I find them incredibly useful for some applications.

For some development stuff, though, I still prefer to use the installed version.

So VS Code, for example, I have that installed.

The flat pack just does not work as well.

But Podman Desktop, which is a flat pack, is just excellent.

Is it me or Ubuntu secretly replaces DEB Firefox with Snap Firefox? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] TxTechnician@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I battled that for about a year and then ditched Debian based diatros altogether.

OpenSUSE ftw

Why does the new version of Kubuntu take longer to start the wifi connection? (lemmy.ml)
 

Kubuntu 23.10 connects to wifi, but only after all other startup programs have run.

I'm just curious as to why that is. And what controls this startup behavior.

I've had to change some startup scripts for rclone, to wait until a network connection is present before starting. Other than that it's not a problem.

Question about RMM remote support on Wayland. (lemmy.ml)

I use an rmm called level. The remote support function under Wayland doesn't allow keystrokes or mouse input in Firefox.

Question : Is it that Firefox has not implemented the necessary features to allow input? Or is this more likely to be the rmm?

I reached out for a feature request to level, great company BTW.

UPDATE: So, it turns out that my RMM is working fine under Wayland. Level got back with me because they couldn't reproduce the problem. So I tried to reproduce the problem. Only to find it is working just fine. Whatever was causing that problem, I have no idea. But it's gone.

Does anyone actually like 3d movies? (lemmy.ml)
 

I'm rewatching Final Destination.

And it dawned on me that all of the shots were choreographed for 3D animation.

I remember disliking 3D movies whenever we had those red and blue lens glasses.

And whenever the movie industry switched over to the new clear 3D glasses. I still didn't see the point in 3D movies. I watch them and then threw away the glasses at the end of the movie. The experience sucked, just like always.

So I'm curious.

Did anybody actually want 3D movies? Or was this something that the movie industry was just trying to shove down our throats?

Was "infiltrated.net" a thing? (lemmy.ml)

Learning the terminal. Found this nice android app: "Linux Command Library"

It lists a number of man pages and examples.

I found this one:

block known dirty hosts from accessing your machine

wget -qO - http://infiltrated.net/blacklisted|awk '!/#|[a-z]/&&/./{print "iptables -A INPUT -s "$1" -j DROP"}'

I figured that domain was a list of spam sites and such.

Googled it. Found nothing mentioning it. Went to the domain and it was blocked by my ad blocker.

Anyone know of it?

I need a wireless controller for my linux laptop (Kubuntu 23.04).

I don't care how it connects (bluetooth dongle). I just want one that works. The most intense game I play is stardew valley.
