do you miss anything from windows? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] bazzett@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Me too. It's the only piece of software that I truly miss. There's not a single alternative in the Linux ecosystem that compares to it.

What's your favorite animal? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] bazzett@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

I'm a biologist, so all of them. Yes, even cockroaches (they're so cute when eating cookies ❤️), parasites like horsehair worms and Demodex folliculorum, spiders (all of them!), mosquitoes and centipedes.

Done. Sorry, didn't see the rules in the sidebar from my Lemmy client.

The first one. It was shortly before I neutered them 😅. And they aimed directly at the air vents. The GPU and MoBo went toast 🤣.

Computer of Theseus 🤭.

I mean, I did something similar with my desktop, until it died because cats.

I mean, I'm not going to say that it's or not an artificially made picture, but "refaccionaria" is a perfectly cromulent word in Spanish: Refaccionaria at the Diccionario de la Lengua Española.

How can I make my laptop a little faster? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] bazzett@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Three steps:

  1. If you can afford it, upgrade to a SSD.
  2. Install Linux Mint XFCE or Fedora XFCE.
  3. Use Min Browser. In my tests, with a netbook with an Atom processor and 2GB RAM, it's infinitely faster than Firefox or any other Chromium.

Profit.

How can I stop firefox from connecting to google at startup. in c/firefox@lemmy.ml
[–] bazzett@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Yes, I've tried it multiple times, but, apart of the so-called "privacy features", I can't find a single reason to use it instead of regular Firefox. Well, I suppose that if you're really paranoid, or hate every single decision Mozilla makes with the force of a thousand suns, then it can be appealing.

At your own risk, disable Safe Browsing. And add all Google domains to the blacklist of uBlock Origin. Or you can simply switch to LibreWolf and go on with your life.

Argument against "I have nothing to hide" in c/privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Be careful. According to Privacy Guides and the Arkenfox wiki, neither LocalCDN nor Decentraleyes do much abou privacy. Personally, I only have uBO with some additional filters, and on my laptop I've configured it in medium mode. Also, I use NextDNS.

Udev rule that triggers a script whenever I plug headphones/speakers to the 3.5mm jack? (lemmy.world)
 

Hello. I want to write an Udev rule to change my laptops's EasyEffects profile whenever I connect a speaker set or headphones to the 3.5mm jack. The concept is relatively simple: when I connect something to the jack, I want it to fire a script that will set this Dconf setting:

gsettings set com.github.wwmm.easyeffects last-loaded-output-preset 'None'

And when I unplug the speakers/headphones, it'll set this:

gsettings set com.github.wwmm.easyeffects last-loaded-output-preset 'Laptop'

("None" and "Laptop" are EasyEffects profiles).

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find useful info, since almost all of the results I found online refer to Bluetooth or USB devices. I checked within /sys/class/sound/ and /dev/ for a file where I could query the status of the jack (something like "connected"/"disconnected") but I can't find something relevant. I have a similar rule that changes GNOME's font scaling when I plug my HDMI display, and it does that by running this script:

function monitorConnected () {
  statuses=$(cat /sys/class/drm/card1-HDMI-A-{1,2,3,4}/status 2>/dev/null)    
  for status in ${statuses[@]}                                                
  do                                                                          
        [[ ${status} == "connected" ]] && return 0                              
  done                                                                        
  return 1                                                                    
  }

So I thought that I could do something similar for the 3.5mm jack. Or maybe there's another method? Any hints? My OS is Fedora 41 and I'm using Pipewire, btw.
