That is famously a bad idea.

folekaule@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What computer life hacks are your most used?6·9 days agoMy main one is to learn shortcuts on your most used programs. Using the mouse for everything is a waste of time, but that has been said multiple times.
My second is to create scripts to do a bunch of repetitive tasks. For example, I have a script I run on my work PC after I log on to the VPN that starts my “always on” programs (like notepad++), unlocks the hosts file, etc. I have some sendto scripts for converting files with pandoc, fetching multiple git repos in one go, etc. It just speeds up things and avoids errors versus me doing them manually.
On Windows I use PowerShell and on Linux I use bash, meaning they work without additional software installed.

I think a lot of them don’t realize who is being categorized as illegal. Conservatives I know seen to be able to hold multiple conflicting ideas at the same time, e.g., hating immigrants but be friends with them on a one on one basis. I don’t think they actually see the problem with that.
Anyway, I think a lot of centrists especially take “illegal” and “criminal” at face value. You can see the argument for deporting people that shouldn’t have been here to begin with. The difference is that we’re seeing a very loose definition of those terms being applied by authorities. Innocent people are being targeted and treated as terrorists.
I think a lot of them don’t realize this, or refuse to believe it. You will see them online saying “Come to America. You have nothing to worry about if your papers are in order and you haven’t done anything wrong.”
This is just my impression of things. People are different and it’s a big country.
folekaule@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Just woke up vomiting, choking on vomit, not drunk or on drugs, heart beating slightly off. Is this ER worthy?4·1 month agoYou’re not wrong, but I would rather OP seek any qualified medical care than none, even if all they do is refer them to the ER.
folekaule@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Just woke up vomiting, choking on vomit, not drunk or on drugs, heart beating slightly off. Is this ER worthy?12·1 month agoConsider going to a walk in clinic. If it’s nothing serious, you pay 100-200 and you’re on your way. If you go to the ER and it’s nothing serious, your insurance may deduct you hundreds more (my ER copay is $500 and I have great insurance).
If it is serious, the walk in will tell you to go to the ER. In that case, the insurance may waive the ER copay. While it is true they can’t deny you care, this system of expensive ER copay was presumably put in place to stop people using the ER to provide free care. Check your insurance policy (preferably before you get sick). I believe some places also have free clinics, but I would expect them to be pretty crowded.
Good luck OP. This sounds serious and you need to take care of your health. Try to find a way you can at least get some real qualified medical advice, even if you seemingly recovered this time.

Sometimes pharmacists can recommend an exchange, but it’s best to first check with your doctor. Typically it’s just a matter of getting a generic or different brand, but they will know best what the options are. It can be a headache though if one option is covered and one is not. You will have to check with your insurance company to find out if it is covered. Doctors don’t know the details of your plan and could end up prescribing something not covered. Pharmacists can often help with finding drugs that are interchangeable.
DOM interfacing is lackluster with wasm still, but you can certainly compile rust to wasm.

folekaule@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Pedestrians Walking on Right or Left?12·2 months agoGrowing up in Norway, where roads are narrow, days are short, and snow piles up above a second grader’s head, we were taught to use sidewalks, when they are available, or walk on the left (we drive on the right). I think it’s supposed to make it easier to see oncoming traffic and get out of the way.
More importantly, though, was to wear reflective clothing. As a driver: please for the love of God don’t go running in a black track suit along a dark country road early in the morning. You’re not a fucking ninja. Wear something reflective.
Edit: I looked it up and it’s actually in the law.
folekaule@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Programmers: what would your job/interest be called if you didn't write code?10·2 months agoYaml editor? Business therapist? Email author? Paid meeting actor? Scrum participant? Office cynic? Idk.
I know it’s ELI5, but this is a common misconception and will lead you astray. They do not have the same level of isolation, and they have very different purposes.
For example, containers are disposable cattle. You don’t backup containers. You backup volumes and configuration, but not containers.
Containers share the kernel with the host, so your container needs to be compatible with the host (though most dependencies are packaged with images).
For self hosting maybe the difference doesn’t matter much, but there is a difference.
folekaule@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is 1 May a big deal in your country? If so, how is it celebrated?5·3 months agoThe closest official thing in the US is Labor Day in September. Most people forget it is a workers rights day, though.
From Wikipedia:
More than 150 other countries celebrate International Workers’ Day on May 1, the European holiday of May Day. May Day was chosen by the Second International of socialist and communist parties to commemorate the general labor strike in the United States and events leading to the Haymarket affair, which occurred in Chicago, Illinois, from May 1 – May 4, 1886.
folekaule@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does anyone else hate knowing stuff and looking "smart"?2·3 months agoTry to come across friendly without sounding condescending.
First, empathize (I know those things can be tricky, it took me a minute the first time), then offer to help without judgement (I have some experience with these, would you like me to try?), then back off if they say no.
If they refuse help, you’ve done what you can, end of story. Don’t be pushy.
Key point here is to be nice about it. Don’t call them out or make them feel dumb. Don’t judge. You don’t know why they’re not getting it, and next time maybe it is you who is “dumb”.
Also, don’t expect everyone to share your intellect (it’s obvious to you) or curiosity (you want to know how it works). Most people just want their problem fixed and move on.
folekaule@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something you grieved for "too long"?17·3 months agoI’m going to interpret “too long” as “longer than I expected”. To that I world say the sudden loss of a college friend that I, to be honest, failed to keep in contact with. Still miss that guy.
I take some comfort in that by the time he died, he had turned from being an outcast and victim of bullying to having three wonderful children with a beautiful and loving wife.

folekaule@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Cybersecurity World On Edge As CVE Program Prepares To Go Dark3·3 months agoDefinitively, but there is a huge list of popular games that have it, so I think it’s fair to warn people about it so they can make an informed choice and not become a disgruntled ex-Linux user.
I am hopeful that Valve, and the game industry in general, manages to come up with a solution for game developers can come up with a solution that works for everyone, but so far I have not heard of one. Meanwhile, I’m happy to skip some games to stay on Linux.
folekaule@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Cybersecurity World On Edge As CVE Program Prepares To Go Dark2·3 months agoI did a quick check, and both The Last of Us Part I and II are rated Gold. In my experience, a gold rating is a good sign, but you may still need to tweak a setting or two. Definitively worth reading the comments and look especially if there are any known issues with your particular setup. Even things like dual screens, HiDPI, etc can sometimes make a difference.
The reason things are so unpredictable is it all works like Wine does: it doesn’t run Windows in a virtual machine: it re-implements the APIs (like Direct3D). This makes things fast (and sometimes faster!), when they work, but when the implementations deviate things can go off the rails.
Don’t get your hopes up. My flights were absolutely packed about 2 weeks ago.
