It’s a privilege to not have to worry about making a living.

That comes from a position of privilege though. Getting to choose which companies sponsor you is only viable if your channel is large or you have multiple options to pick from.
Lantern@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Apple, Microsoft Joining Google Using Gulf of America in Maps ProgramsEnglish6·5 months agoThe reason why people are protesting the random changing of the name is the vast amount of work it generates. Websites, textbooks, maps, etc. will all have to be updated (and all this accumulates to a couple million dollars). By this logic, “Gulf of the Americas” is just as bad.
Lantern@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Base installation voidlinux doesn't allow sudo in Xorg1·6 months agoIf you haven’t already, try using a wired connection. That should remove the primary difference between xbox one and series controllers. I’d also suggest using a tool like antimicrox to see if you’re receiving input from the controller. You may also want to look into what solutions other distros use for Bluetooth, as the answer could be buried in there.
Lantern@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Base installation voidlinux doesn't allow sudo in Xorg2·6 months agoI generally find this to be the easiest option if my system is giving me issues. Void took me a few installs before getting the right combination of packages and services running. It’s definitely my favorite distro so far, considering that it provides stability while remaining on a rolling release cycle.
As to your controller, look into the xpadneo or xone packages. Both are available on Void. Not certain they’ll work with PlayStation controllers, but I wasn’t able to find any packages dedicated to them.
Lantern@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Base installation voidlinux doesn't allow sudo in Xorg1·6 months agoInteresting, could also be the tty. If it’s causing you a lot of trouble, you might want to just reinstall.
Lantern@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Base installation voidlinux doesn't allow sudo in Xorg1·6 months agoWhat shell are you running in your terminal? If I’m remembering correctly, it’s recommended to set the shells during the installation, so that could be the issue here.
Lantern@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•TikTok creators mourn app where 'overnight' success is possibleEnglish11·6 months agoTheir livelihoods are only at risk because they ignored the cards for the previous five years. If you’re living in the US, and haven’t spread your content out to other platforms by now, you are in that situation because of your own inaction. I refuse to sympathize with people who aren’t capable of simple logic.
Lantern@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Apple pulls remaining Lightning-based devices from European storesEnglish2185·7 months agoThe title makes it sound like Apple did this of their own accord. In reality, this was the deadline for no longer selling these devices inside the EU.
Lantern@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Selfhost alternative to sharedrop.io?English12·7 months agoI use Tailscale (Taildrop & Taildrive) to send files between my devices no matter where I am. It’s a very simple install (maybe 10 minutes total), and just works.
Lantern@lemmy.worldto RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Publishers are absolutely terrified "preserved video games would be used for recreational purposes," so the US copyright office has struck down a major effort for game preservationEnglish2·8 months agoMore like you’re not allowed to have fun, even if you pay for it.
Especially for a 1.0 release. I vaguely understood it was music related based on the title, but couldn’t say why I would want to use it.
Removing bloat doesn’t necessarily make things unstable. I remove all the games from my KDE Plasma installs. The primary mistake that can occur in removing non-essential programs is ignoring the list of programs that this is a dependency of or also removes.
Lantern@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Explo: Spotify's "Discover Weekly" for self-hosted music systemsEnglish101·9 months agoIsn’t the whole point of “Discover Weekly” to discover new music? If you’re self-hosted, the only music you’d be accessing is stuff you’ve already liked enough to pay for, so you’re not discovering anything.
Everyone was talking about it back in 2022, but it hasn’t really had any progress since then. I had attempted to use it, but it was rather unpolished.
Lantern@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Typing these four characters could crash your iPhone | TechCrunchEnglish6·11 months agoIt’s just a respring, which can actually be useful in certain situations.
Lantern@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO - 9to5MacEnglish22·11 months agoWouldn’t these subreddits just immediately pop up elsewhere. For example, if r/pics was paid, what’s to stop someone from creating r/picsfree?
Lantern@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Does anyone know what happened to the Surface Duo?English1·11 months agoPretty much DOA due to bad software adaptation and a prohibitive price tag. The marketing department also missed the massive opportunity to market this as a DS emulator (likely due to concern over Nintendo lawsuits).
Honestly, carrying around a usb drive is generally a pretty good idea. I carry one with several ISOs so I can rescue a machine if something happens and I am unable to fix it (and also show people what modern Linux has to offer).
This is something I carry pretty much anywhere I take my computer, and would recommend to most people. Sure, I could leave it at home, but if I have to meet a deadline, I don’t want to spend the extra hour driving to my house. It’s a worst case scenario kind of thing, but it pays off considering how little effort takes.
Absolutely love the lack of regulation for space. Going to love seeing the Google tm Moon in 50 years.
