Commodore 1581

It could be used with Commodore 128, which could run CP/M.

You spelled "corporate market manipulation" wrong.

As long as 99.9999999% of Android users use Google Android it won't matter that 0.0000001% doesn't.

So it is a conflict and not a "special military operation"?

As I understand it it's the anti-cheat that is the problem. If this is the only problem there is essentially only two possible ways to get Fortnite running in Linux:

  1. Get Epic to support Linux
  2. Crack the anti-cheat.

Since a major part of anti-cheat systems is preventing people circumventing it I would say that the easiest path would be getting epic to support Linux. One valid argument would be to play Fortnite on Steamdeck .

I'm pretty sure it has been proved that the weapons supplied by the US dismisses the importance of Putin.

Essentially it only moves the borders of the partitions and "repairs" the filesystem inside each affected partition.

If there is data in an area inside the partion you are manipulating gparted has to move the data to an area inside the partition that is unaffected or move it to the new parts of the partition. This can take a long time even if modern PCs easily move 100MB/s

Also, even if gparted is mature software and the devs probably have implemented a lot of security measures you should always backup your data before manipulating the partitions. Especially when you're playing around with filesystems that aren't native like NTFS or more complicated filesystems like ZFS. I know people often nag about this but trust me... Blow 2TB of your data and you really really regret not spending 10 minutes backing up the essentials.

I've been using gparted for as long as I can remember and only once or twice has it caused dats loss. Since I'm very old school (started playing with PCs when 386DX 16MHz was fairly hot and RLL disks were a thing) and nerdy I was able to use data rescue software that looked for filesystems over the whole disk and guessed where partition borders should be.

Avoid this type of anxiety by backing up all data or at least backing up the data you can't live without.

Also, if you have a spare disk, it's faster and much safer to partition the spare one and just clone each partition. Sometimes it's even faster to clone the disk this way and then clone it back.

I'd rather have to open up stuff my self then have an uninvited visitor doing it without me knowing about it.

While high speed trains reach speeds up to around 350kmh ordinary trains reach speeds up to around 250kmh.

So while high speed trains can go about 50% faster than ordinary trains the price tag for building and maintaining is many times more expensive compared to ordinary railway.

So let's start maintaining the railways we have and build more. Making sure that it's possible to go from point A to point B safely and in time

Then we start building high speed railways, connecting major cities.

Yeah... Russians are known for their ability to reverse engineer and circumvent protections of all sorts... For good and bad...

I'm pretty sure it won't take long before there are easy ways to circumvent whatever VPN blocking Putin invests in...

So it's time for our EU politicians to step up then....

Hey, US, where are you in this? We need you guys to get on board with the right to privacy...

 

Weird thing has started to happen the last day or two. My Subscribed flow is suddenly filled with old posts. For example this: https://lemmy.ml/post/46651

There are no replies that are even close to as old as the post itself is which indicates that something fishy is going on. Someone got the post in their flow now and therefore started to reply to it.

This is just one example of many in my flow right now...

So is there a bug or something going on?

app to see charging mode? (self.androidapps)
submitted 1 year ago by Mindlight to c/androidapps
 

I'm using Ampere to see information about battery charging.

However, I'm not able to see the voltage or current charging mode (normal, QC or USB-PD fx) on my S20FE 5g.

Does such an app exist?

 

Two years ago I started composting the cut grass from the lawnmower and occasionally some thin twigs and leaves. "Composting" as in dining it all in a cheap plastic compost container without any bottom.

In my head worms and other things would find their way there and start munching away.

In reality the end result was dry cut grass cakes and twigs. So this spring we got rid of the contents.

So ... What beginners guide to easy composting do you recommend.

I would like to start easy and in a distant future, if all goes well now, I might get an isolated container for leftover food and scrap. But that seems very distant right now.
