Beyond enshittification, why does tech oftentimes suck? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] 2xsaiko@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 11 hours ago

Apple

I’ve submitted at least 8 bug reports to them since Oct 2023 (and also many suggestions) through their feedback app. No response to any of them until now. The only closed bugs I closed myself because the problem went away in an update.

I’m pretty sure they don’t have any bug triager whatsoever.

I’ll keep doing it out of spite and because it’s what I do for open-source as well, but I’m really not sure if it has any effect at all.

How about GNU M4 + Make (output)?

(to be clear this is a joke suggestion. but yes it is what I legitimately use)

Distro or Desktop like "classic" macOS in c/linux@lemmy.ml

It’s a free reimplementation of the NeXTSTEP API (and now the successor Cocoa in macOS). So kind of what Linux is to real UNIX.

Look into GNUstep and related projects maybe? I’m not sure how close it is to pre-NS Mac (that was OS X iirc?) but it might be close enough.

Does leaving a single board computer caseless can be a problem or not? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I killed 3 Raspberry Pis by putting them onto a metal surface while turned on (first two times I didn’t know what was happening and the third time was accidental). Do not recommend.

I’d trust a chinese vehicle over a Tesla any day.

The iPhones 16 in c/apple_enthusiast@lemmy.world

my right index finger expects a shutter button to be located near the top right corner. But the center of Camera Control is 2 inches (5 cm) from the corner.

Oooh, I just know that’s going to massively bother me too. 5cm is a lot. I’d have to try it myself but it already sounds uncomfortable.

What are the best video games full of references to other media? in c/gaming@lemmy.ml
[–] 2xsaiko@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 weeks ago

Oh damn, I didn’t think I wouldn’t be the first to post about Evoland 2 of all games in this thread, it’s pretty obscure, isn’t it. Great game though.

[PSA] If you use Instagram/Facebook/Messenger, check the "off Meta technologies" section. Your other apps may be sending data without you knowing in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Here's a demo one that works on rooted Android: https://github.com/Hirohumi/RustyRcs/

(Also iOS 18+ Messages lol)

It's not RCS's fault Google locks down the API on their OS.

You can use Freeform as a basic image editor on iOS (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I wanted something like GIMP for iOS with which I can stitch together/overlay/crop images, add text, blank out parts, draw on the image, and so on. Nothing in the app store looked appealing, most of what I could find seems to be geared towards photo post processing, so I had the idea of trying Freeform for this, because well, it lets you place various objects on a canvas. And it works pretty well!

Create a new board with the image inside, set it to no rounded corners and no shadow, and then do whatever you want to it with Freeform’s tools.

Then, when you’re done, select Export to PDF and convert it to an image. You can use this share sheet shortcut which I made which makes an image out of it and also cuts away the white frame it generates around the PDF: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/fa5e2386588742b2a1f5d41401f2238e

There you go, straight forward basic image editing with a free stock app.

It unfortunately doesn’t preserve the original resolution of the image but it’s definitely good enough for me.

Is there a Git repository activity aggregator, like GitHub's user activity but platform independent? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I'm looking for something like GitHub's user activity indicator that gathers information from a list of git repositories regardless of where they are hosted (as long as they are public), that I can put on my webpage, kind of as a thing to show what I'm working on at the moment.

Is this a thing that already exists? I'd started writing one a while ago but instead of reviving that it would be great if there's something that already exists and I can just use :^)

Linux doesn't serve birth time attribute over NFS (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

According to this Phoronix article, Linux should support the birth time attribute in the NFS server since 5.18. However, it doesn't show up in the stat output when looking at the file through the NFS mount, or elsewhere (at least, the Dolphin file browser and also a macOS client):

% stat file
  File: file
  Size: 0               Blocks: 0          IO Block: 1048576 regular empty file
Device: 0,70    Inode: 103416894   Links: 1
Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--)  Uid: ( 1000/   saiko)   Gid: (  100/   users)
Access: 2023-12-17 03:22:45.368950609 +0100
Modify: 2023-12-17 03:22:45.368950609 +0100
Change: 2023-12-17 03:22:45.368950609 +0100
 Birth: -

What gives? Running stat on the server directly, it shows the attribute. The backing file system is ext4, kernel 6.5.12. The client is using kernel 6.1.63.
