For me, the bugs that I usually encounter in linux are way less annoying than the ones I had on Windows

I feel like they added a lot of technological jargon to the the simple thing that is,

"Every time you click on an ad, we will track it and sell the data to advertisers. But do not worry, the informationis encrypted and only we can decrypt it. Trust me bro."

Edit: that was wrong, 31 is convertible

I might be wrong, but I think I understand why it's happening. Running

$ cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/chassis_type

I am getting the value 31 (detachable), when I think it should be reporting 32 (convertible)

What happens if you press the power button when the device is awake and in tablet mode?

It does nothing.

If anyone could help, that would be great. I am struggling to find an answer after searching for some time.

How to use power button to wake up laptop on tablet mode (lemdro.id)
 

cross-posted from: https://piefed.social/post/206134

Recently I switched to Fedora 40 from Ununtu. Now, I am facing this weird problem, whenever my laptop suspends I cannot use the power button to wake my laptop if it's in tablet mode. It works fine in normal case. Also, this wasn't an issue in Ubuntu. Anyone knows how I can change it?

I am using a 2in1 laptop (Dell) if it's relevant

Technically, in a later PR they merged a more gender neutral language, but I don't think there was any official apology to the community.

I don't comment anything negative, so far as I remember, against Ladybird and decided not to look at the general direction of that project.

Maybe Domino's headquarters in our country decided it was cheaper to keep using they linux port instead of paying for windows license. I make this assumption because this particular outlet was openedafter the covid lockdown. Though, I have no idea of their rationale behind using Ubuntu.

It hasn't been long since I completely switched to linux. I have been using Ubuntu for 1 year. Just switched to fedora (after some distro hopping). Honestly, just so glad to be free from snaps and those awful modifications that they make. Maybe fedora has its own flaws, but for now, I love it.

I recently saw Domino's Pizza uses this touch device to take customer order that uses some very old version of Ubuntu (with unity DE)

EFF Says Mozilla's PPA is better than Google's Solution (www.fastcompany.com)

Mozilla’s system only measures the success rate of ads—it doesn’t help companies target those ads—and it’s less susceptible to abuse, EFF’s Lena Cohen told @FastCompany@flipboard.com. “It’s much more privacy-preserving than Google’s version of the same feature.”

https://mastodon.social/@eff/112922761259324925

Privacy experts say the new toggle is mostly harmless, but Firefox users saw it as a betrayal.

“They made this technology for advertisers, specifically,” says Jonah Aragon, founder of the Privacy Guides website. “There’s no direct benefit to the user in creating this. It’s software that only serves a party other than the user.”

Mozilla adds stupid AI stuff with horrible T&C (lemdro.id)
 

PSA (?): just got this popup in Firefox when i was on an amazon product page. looked into it a bit because it seemed weird and it turns out if you click the big "yes, try it" button, you agree to mandatory binding arbitration with Fakespot and you waive your right to bring a class action lawsuit against them. this is awesome thank you so much mozilla very cool

https://queer.party/@m04/112872517189786676

So, Mozilla adds an AI review features for products you view using Firefox. Other than being very useless, it's T&C are as anti-consumer as it possibly can be. It's like mozilla saying directly "we don't care about your privacy".

Why is flathub saying Floorp is proprietary (lemdro.id)
 

I am very new to linux and all the open source stuff (my first post on lemmy actually) so I don't get how this stuff works but flathub is saying that floorp is proprietary. But after a quick google search it says that floorp is open source licensed under MPL 2.0
