I learned to crochet with plastic bags!
1y 11mon ago in zerowaste@slrpnk.net from slrpnk.netI've been tempted to try doing this myself, but plastic bags are almost becoming a bit of a rare item here, so my family's intent on keeping them for more normal plastic bag usage, haha
I have some irreparable clothes I could totally turn into T-shirt yarn, though!
Microsoft is Locking Down Search for Public Code on GitHub

Google’s “Web Integrity” Android API could kill “alternative” media clients | Ars Technica
2y 7mon ago in tech@pawb.social from arstechnica.comNot to mention the fact that there's still Android devices that have bootloaders that can't "just be unlocked". Looks like this is now changing but the Canadian model of the LG G6 couldn't be rooted for a long time, and while I wouldn't have bought it if it was up to me because of that, it wasn't up to me because it was just a hand-me-down to replace a phone I had that was way older.

It sounds like Twitter with more Nazis (and other adjacent groups) from what I've heard to be totally honest
Requesting some help with idle display timers and what even counts as "being idle" in Linux and awesomewm
2y 9mon ago in linuxfurs@pawb.socialBoth very helpful, thank you! I can probably see about setting up joystickwake manually anyhow, would be worth it even if it's a fiddly process just for something like this.

2y 9mon ago in tech@pawb.social from arstechnica.comHonestly, even as someone who's big on only ever using Linux and never having to use Windows as my actual operating system ever again, I've spun up VMs running Windows so I can run Photoshop or something, because the Linux alternatives like GIMP really pale in comparison. Like, I actually hate using GIMP for some stuff at all.
At least in the case of Windows I can understand it, since its stranglehold on the OS market makes it so it's legitimately very, very difficult for people to switch since they'll often rely on Windows-only software that might also work poorly in Wine on Linux, if it works at all. My mom uses many such pieces of software for her job. Chrome though, it feels like there really is no real reason to keep using it other than plainly being stubborn and/or afraid of change. Chrome doesn't even barely have any real killer features other than Google having intentionally made using some of their services slightly worse to use on Firefox, which I would hardly call a "feature" either.
What are your go-to brands for any electronic, networking, computing accessories or peripherals?
2y 9mon ago in selfhostedI think for verification I needed to send them photos of my provincial ID card (driver's license would be fine if you had one) and that was about it, but it's been long enough now that I don't quite remember clearly
Microsoft is killing WordPad in Windows after 28 years
2y 9mon ago in tech@pawb.social from www.bleepingcomputer.comBolding, italicizing, I think lists and headers I recall being a thing too
Notepad++ doesn't have any form of formatting though, so it's like underkill for the few narrow things I'd use WordPad for
