Facebook has scraped public data from Australian users without an opt out. What can we do? by unionagainstdhmo in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

I wish it were as simple as deleting my accounts with meta, Google and Microsoft. University requires I have MS, Android effectively requires I have Google and if get rid of Facebook I'll lose access to marketplace, my local community and people will probably just not talk me

I'm gen z so maybe it's embarrasing that I've got no understanding of this slang

It might seem crazy but, I can't complain about a politician trying to represent and speak to young Australians. I got a good laugh out of the speech despite not knowing what she was talking about

'Unnecessary' Ipswich by-election could cost ratepayers up to $550,000 by unionagainstdhmo in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

That's interesting, but given that it is a two-seat electorate there might be multiple candidates from each party as well. They should probably have a by-election for both seats to be balanced

Calling an election or referendum a waste of money is to be against democracy. Why do the media never challenge this

Laptop woes (aussie.zone)

submitted 3 weeks ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I've had this Dell Inspiron 15 7510 for a couple of years now. It has an Intel Core i7-11800H (8C/16T) and an RTX 3050 Mobile (4gb) and 16GB of RAM with a 512GB NVME SSD. It's served me well but it's been really niggling me as of late:

The i7 runs HOT for whatever reason and the fans will go loud because of this, while doing light work (it's doing it right now and I've only got FF open).
The plastic that holds the hinge in place finally snapped so I need to replace the entire top lid.
The battery will only last for 2Hrs (and that's as long as it has ever lasted)
F*ck NVIDIA on Linux

Whatever I decide to do I'm going to need to replace that lid.

Is it worth trying to sell it (after repairing it) and using that to offset a Framework laptop (which might be cheaper in the long run)? Or should I just keep using it for the next couple of years to get full value from it?

I don't need a really powerful laptop anymore since I've bought a Dell (I know right) T7910 second hand which I've upgraded to 64GB of RAM and an RX Vega 56 which is more than enough for any of my gaming and high performance computing needs (I study Computational Science and Physics at university). The main thing that matters is Linux compatibility

Followup on my previous post. Door behaved normally on an N*R for me the other day, maybe just something wrong with the one I was on. We no longer need to boycott QR

Idk they've made it such that when you press the button to open the door the door will not open unless you press the button again when the train is stopped. At least on the N*Rs. Probably a safety feature or something but I don't like it so it's woke.

Microsoft opens a "high priority" bug ticket in ffmpeg, attempting to leech the free labour of the maintainers by unionagainstdhmo in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 74 points 5 months ago

I'm not really sure what you're saying here. Microsoft have every right to fix the bug themselves and the maintainer has every right not to. Open source software doesn't come with a warranty in most licensed.

I don't think we should consider these as luxuries. They should be the base experience

Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them? by unionagainstdhmo in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 66 points 8 months ago

The average consumer isn't going to toss out a good computer they bought if it can't run Windows 11. They're certainly not installing Linux. They'll keep using Windows 10 for as long as they can. I've seen way too much of Windows XP still running on people's computers, if it can still browse the web, access emails and look at Facebook they're not spending money on a new one

Why make new apps, we should be focusing on rewriting everything in Rust /s
