8·9 days agoPandoc will convert markdown to a PDF in portrait or landscape and there’s even “beamer” support, aka data projector or presentation support.
Why run Docker Desktop when it’s installable as a cli service?
What are you actually trying to achieve?

7·15 days agoYour experience is the tip of the iceberg.
If you look at the permissions required by essential, or at least widely used applications, you’ll discover a dizzying array of data exfiltration that is hidden in plain sight, made obscure by Google’s continuing efforts to hide the extent of this deep rooted ecosystem.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google to penalize “back button hijacking” starting June 2026English
13·19 days agoWhile they’re at it, could they please also penalize Android app developers who do this too?
It’s not too late.
As a creator, I’d be much more interested in a way to get paid into my actual bank account in such a way that didn’t involve Bitcoin (et. al.), PayPal or Stripe.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Proxmox audio for all guests solution?English
1·24 days agoNot sure how, or if, I’d want to install an Arch package under Debian, but it’s my understanding that the package I’ve raised a bug for under Debian implements, or is supposed to at least, the functionality you’re describing.
What I haven’t found is a recipe that documents exactly how it’s supposed to work (not to mention, in a Debian way).
I’d love to discover something that doesn’t start with instructions to remove all pipewire packages and install from source, since that completely defeats the purpose of running Debian Stable as the host.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Proxmox audio for all guests solution?English
2·24 days agoIn my adventures I did look at this, but it appears to require that you install support for this inside the guest, which is possible for modern guests, but not for ancient ones like say Debian Wheezy or Win98se.
Onno (VK6FLAB)@lemmy.radiotoAsklemmy@lemmy.ml•In your opinion, is space exploration necessary?
0·25 days agoThe impact to society from space exploration is immense if not immeasurable.

- GPS navigation
- Earth sciences
- Robotics

NASA has a website dedicated to the topic, as do other agencies around the world.

27·27 days agoSo, why is this being disclosed here and not a CVE reported to Apple?
While contemplating that, my Mac has been up for longer than that and it’s working fine.
The Mac I had before that was up for years, also fine.
So … what is this really about?

1·26 days agoThey are deterministic but complex to determine.
The Assumed Intelligence systems I’m familiar with have a “random” element, but it’s unclear where that source of randomness comes from. Is it using a computational random source, or something like the lava lamp wall at Cloudflare, which is significantly more random, potentially actually random.

6·27 days agoWhile I understand your point, deterministic with a billion variables is beyond human ability to process, let alone the multi-billion parameter models in general circulation today.
At what point does deterministic descend into random?
Assumed Intelligence is a solution for a bunch of multivariate problems, like say “the travelling salesman”, but it’s not intelligence nor in my opinion is it effectively “deterministic”.








If you’re not going to show the source code, there’s absolutely no point in using GitHub.
As for getting paid, I hadn’t seen gumroad before, nice, but failing the access to the source, it’s unlikely I’d buy/pay for unknown software and install it sight unseen on anything I care about.
From a security perspective, in my opinion this is a disaster waiting to happen.
