I’d say charging cables / most kinds of wires.

People are used to and comfortable with wireless charging these days despite it being spotty in terms of availability.

Better charging rates and capacity to power larger appliances might end up with you having a completely wireless home.

I like the concept, but personally I see the decentralised nature of the Fediverse as a benefit rather than a hindrance, and moving all identity functionality to a centralised system would create more problems than it solves.

Suddenly you’ll have a single point of failure for the entire Fediverse. A very appetising target for hackers and DDOS attacks.

An alternative that’s in the spirit of your idea would be to allow for auth delegation, i.e. if you sign in with an Activitypub ID rather than a plain username, redirect to that instance to sign in then redirect back to the instance you started from, auth token in hand.

The nice thing about this approach is it’s basically just OAuth 2. It’s familiar, simple to implement and built in to a lot of web frameworks already. The only extra step would be advertising the server’s auth URL via the nodeinfo endpoint, which is fairly trivial to do.

Oh man I love the partially popped ones. I love finding a cluster of them in the bottom of the bag.

Since desktop mode is basically just KDE but without the ability to install software packages you could try Fedora.

They do a version just like desktop mode that has you install everything through the store, or you can get the regular variety to get a bit more flexibility.

Personally I’d steer clear of anything special as your first Linux install. Go with standard Fedora, then you can experiment and branch out if you’re interested, but you don’t have to if you like what you’ve got.

I think it suits you. Definitely keep.

A week is my usual. I know, I know, but my mental health is a lot worse than my body odour.

I’m glad I switched to Tidal already

Run. Run as far as I can and never stop.

I always picked the castle as a kiddo. Where the fuck did the last 30 years go?!

I used reddit for searching stuff purely out of convenience (which lemmy instance do I choose for the site: query?) but for everyday content it’s exclusively lemmy ever since I went on a mission of deleting all my commercial social media accounts.

You can self host the services you need, but admittedly that’s not feasible for most people.

Thanks for recommending JShelter! I’ll add it to my list

I really wish there was a foolproof way of preventing fingerprinting. Disabling JavaScript unfortunately isn’t really an option, no-one builds websites with progressive enhancement in mind these days.

I sleep with a stuffed animal I’ve had since I was a kid. I don’t think it’s that unusual.

CLion’s worth checking out. It’s free for non-commercial projects.

I lived in the US for a couple of years and when I left I signed up to Traveling Mailbox so I didn’t miss any mail at my old address. Just set up mail forwarding with USPS and you’re good to go.

As far as the IRS goes - you can use your foreign address just fine on a 1040/1040-NR.

I used to have an hour of Internet a week as a kid. I’m sure it cost a lot paying per minute.

It doesn’t matter how perfect or sloppy I pick out cars, buses, bicycles or stairs, it still makes me do at least 3 rounds before relenting. Captchas are the bane of my existence.

Even worse is cloudflare’s infinite loop captcha that never actually lets me through. That one absolutely hates my firefox for some reason and forces me to use chrome.

Still, I’m extremely stubborn and refuse to give up my vpn and privacy, so I just suffer through.

Exactly, we’ve already seen this in the past. GDPR is a good example. Whilst I’m glad this regulation exists, it wouldn’t be necessary if megacorps would have behaved.
