I used the communicator chime for a long time, but these days I’m basically permanently in do-not-disturb. My phone only makes sound when a close contact calls, or for a timer/alarm. Anything else can wait.

themoken@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•All good things come to an end: Shutting down Clear Linux OS41·1 month agoIntel has been struggling overall, and lately has been letting some of its Linux engineers go. Nothing absolutely fundamental has been affected yet (AFAICT) but I guess Clear Linux didn’t make the cut.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•Black screen on wake from suspend on game mode2·2 months agoIt would allow SSH if the desktop is locked, they’re separate. If you can get in via SSH then you can poke around logs like dmesg and see what’s up. There will probably be some messages to give you something more specific to search with.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was the worst apartment you've ever lived in?2·2 months agoI love that song and yeah, nailed it.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was the worst apartment you've ever lived in?7·2 months agoI’ll bite. Austin, TX circa 2007. Sublet. Moved my (now) wife and one year old into a one bedroom, one bathroom house the size of a shoebox. Cooled by a single window unit, had to steal wifi, and roaches crawled in through the gaps under the doors.
Ironically, it’s now a fond memory. First place I lived with my new family, it was just for the summer, we had cool neighbors and were like 200 feet from a bunch of really cool local businesses.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is that random movie that you watched multiple times throughout your childhood only because your family happened to own it's DVD (or VHS) ?5·2 months agoBy myself, probably Apollo 13 - I used to watch it like once a day over the summer. With my dad, we watched Predator every time my mom had to work late.
Probably due north.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Experts warn mobile sports betting could be gateway to gambling crisis for young men in New YorkEnglish48·2 months agoSports gambling is just terrible for everyone except the bloodsuckers that run it. Sports teams don’t want it because it incentivizes cheating / rigging games. Personal bankruptcy and domestic abuse skyrocket when people lose money they can’t afford to lose. Now the apps feed an unstable addiction literally all day long.
Thanks to the Supreme Court for pulling a bullshit ruling out of their collective asses in 2018 that makes everything worse for average Americans.
Shit, I don’t even gamble and I’m just sick of their logos and ads all over every thing when I watch a game. Used to be they had “Gambling Prohibited” up around the stadium, now they may as well own the teams.
Unless you can launch offensive weapons at other racers or eat shrooms to speed up or literally launch your car off of a vertical ramp into the sky and it turns into a glider in Forza, I’m pretty sure these games aren’t even in the same genre.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this yearEnglish18·3 months agoPace makers keep you from dying so they’re sort of on a different level of need. Also, if corps did planned obsolescence on one, you’re probably not around to buy another.
If they were invented today, they would definitely have a predatory subscription model for “monitoring” your heart, or require occasional maintenance at cost to the end user.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Half-Life 3 Has Been Designed to be ‘The Final Chapter’, It’s ClaimedEnglish161·3 months agoThe prequels were redeemed? That’s news to me.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•AI headphones translate multiple speakers at once, cloning their voices in 3D soundEnglish9·3 months agoI’m with you on 1 and 2, but “reduced lingual skills” I think is a bit of a stretch. Becoming fluent in another language takes a lot of effort and people only do it if they have a good long term reason.
I think it’s more likely this would cover the vacation / short term business case that is already covered by human interpreters (or apps already) instead.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why don't communist movements focus on creating and nurturing employee owned businesses?4·3 months agoHey, that’s great. I’m not sure it’s a way to reach full communism, but good on them.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why don't communist movements focus on creating and nurturing employee owned businesses?7·3 months agoPerfect example. Insurance is an entire industry of blood sucking middle men producing absolutely nothing.
Good luck to your friend. Sorry they have to support a useless leech corporation instead of, you know, paying that money to actual workers.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why don't communist movements focus on creating and nurturing employee owned businesses?121·3 months agoIt’s really hard to generalize about leftist groups. The communists that feel this way have formed co-ops, or are cooperating with anarchists to do something like syndicalism (focused on unionizing existing businesses).
But the methods to start and grow businesses in a capitalist country inherently rely on acting like a capitalist. Getting loans requires a business plan that makes profit, acquiring facilities and other businesses requires capital. Local co-ops exist because they can attract members and customers that value their co-opness, but it’s very hard to scale that up to compete at a regional level. It’s not impossible, but it’s hard to view it as an engine for vast change.
Communists that focus on voting are delusional (in my opinion) but like all reformists they view the existing government as the mechanism to make widespread change.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Bad film with amazing premise and mediocre execution that you can't stop thinking about?7·3 months agoI thought it was great, premise and execution.
Use the ‘scaled’ sort for your frontpage. Helps keep the smaller communities you sub to from getting totally drowned out by some of the larger ones.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•Atomic Linux Distros: What Barriers Stand Between You and Making the Switch?11·4 months agoI agree. I have become more amenable to things like Flatpak or Podman/Docker to keep the base system from being cluttered up with weird dependencies, but for the most part it doesn’t seem like there’s a huge upside to going full atomic if you’re already comfortable.
Raised by Wolves had a great intro theme and art style.
I would list the great Star Trek opening themes, but honestly they are long and can be a bit much when you’re on your like eighth episode in a row.
I don’t have experience with MSI recently, but I’d be really surprised if you couldn’t flash a new BIOS off the system partition or FAT32 USB. You may not be able to update from Linux directly, but almost all motherboards I’ve seen support doing it from the BIOS interface.
