@ricci @alice I absolutely still don't get the point of these. You can't farm engagement and ad clicks on the Fediverse? 🤔
@benbe accidentally summon Chthulhu by adding a rogue & 🫣
@aburka @randahl I'm pretty sure he won't. Reason: it would lose him the last allies he has left, particularly China.
@irene pushing me dangerously close to reply guy territory here 😅
@asmw that tower obviously made the mistake of looking at the news, I always make the same face 😧
@ubahnverleih oooh, buuurn 🤭😅
@ubahnverleih LaTeX Beamer ist aus einer ganz anderen Ecke aber sollte keine Probleme mit vielen Bildern haben...
@Unixbigot P.S. Unfortunately, nobody remembered to add the little packets with space sickness medication to the conference welcome bags, which led to a veritable Kessler Syndrome of vomit and the restaurant having to close for renovations. 🤢
@inawhilecrocodile Thank you! I already tried 1) and 3), no change (as in, the ports work, the hotkey doesn't) 😕 I'll try a Live USB stick to be sure, but right now I don't have high hopes...
@JonEvans I thought that too, but there is only a single cable through the hinge for webcam/screen/microphones, and the screen still works fine... 🤔
@inawhilecrocodile It's a Vivobook 14 X412DA. But since the devices don't even show up in dmesg anymore (not even as any sort of error message), I'm starting to assume hardware failure?
Orrr, banged my head against VLC today for at least one hour, just to get it to display frame numbers, timecodes, milliseconds, anything beyond hours:minutes:seconds. Given how ubiquitous and feature-packed VLC is, you'd think this should be easy... but no. There's all sorts of crazy workarounds and ancient Lua scripts to be found, but nothing worked.
The solution: use mpv instead, one click on the time display and hey presto, milliseconds. 😑
The kid has a slightly battered Asus Vivobook for school, running Ubuntu 24.04. This laptop has suddenly decided that it doesn't have a webcam anymore (not visible on lsusb) nor a touchpad (not visible on lsinput). I've already opened it up and checked for loose connections, liquid damage etc. but nothing except a few crumbs. Everything else still works fine. Also tried BIOS reset & update, no difference. What gives? 🤨
TIL: the file-roller tool from @gnome can open EXE files and browse the sections/resources, which is very helpful for e.g. annoying Windows-only BIOS update files and the like. 👍
@bagder "researchers"
@jwildeboer I've had a similar thought recently - some client-side code would still go a long way, though, something like sandboxed Python maybe?
@grimm seit Timmy finde ich "Baltic Whale" aber keinen besonders glücklich gewählten Namen für ein Schiff 🤭
...
Ich geh ja schon 😉😇
@ricci You're spot on about the whole set of issues with the peer review process, but IMHO "accepting more papers" isn't the way to go, because a) GenAI and b) someone's also gotta read them 🤷
I think we should rather aim to accept fewer, but more comprehensive papers that had the opportunity to go through several rounds of reviews (as I believe @irene already mentioned) - if everyone keeps pushing out Least Publishable Units, it will drown the results actually worth something.
@ennolenze ... und Raffinerien 👍
@steveroyle Please tell me this is satire 🫣
