The worst is that as iconic as it is, this photo doesn't even capture a fraction of what happened on Tiananmen Square.
The full story is much bigger and much more gruesome. You can read about it here (WARNING: link has some very graphic and disturbing images): https://archive.ph/2020.07.12-074312/https://imgur.com/a/AIIbbPs
Microsoft has 18 months to convince folks to upgrade.
They'll be lucky if I boot my Windows 10 partition between now and 18 months.
I write a ton of SQL. I never use my CapsLock key.
SQL doesn't need to be upper case, in fact I loathe upper case SQL.
Yeah that's a common one. If you're into mechanical keyboards, there are a lot of keycap sets that offer an alternative Control key for the CapsLock position.
Personally I rebind it to Super (Winkey). I have a couple of keyboards without Windows keys, so I can still have a Super key and don't miss out on some handy shortcuts.
I use all of these except ScrollLock.
What about the CapsLock key? Windows menu key?
Yeah I remember those early days. KDE had a 1.0 version out in the late 90s, which was perfectly usable as a standalone desktop environment, while at the same time Gnome was little more than a panel with a foot. Early Gnome was an unholy mess and remained so until the late 2.x versions in the mid 2000s. Like how many window managers and file managers did they go through? I believe they even had Enlightenment as the default window manager for a while, and then there was that weird Ximian desktop phase.
On my QK80 mechanical keyboard I could do this:
echo 2 > /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode
Maybe your keyboard driver has a similar parameter?
Streaming services, digital services in general, should be made to compete on having the best platform, not on exclusive content.
The way to get that is to split them and say: a streaming provider can't be a content creator as well. That way, content creating companies would be incentivized to sell their content to every streaming provider at a price that the market will bear, and streaming providers would be incentivized to compete on providing the best experience to their users.
I’ve no problem with paying for good services
Exactly. It used to be that netflix was all you needed to get most quality content, and it was a fair deal for customers: you pay a reasonable monthly amount, and you and your family gets convenient access to most streamable movies and TV series.
Now that quality content is spread out and locked out over half a dozen other streaming services, and subscribing to them all is not just a hassle but also incredibly bad value compared to the original offer.
In a healthy competitive environment, you would expect companies to counter reduced value by increasing customer value in other ways or by reducing prices, but instead we got price hikes, lots of low quality filler content, crack downs on password sharing, advertising, various unpopular UI changes and other service reductions decreasing value even further.
To solve this, I think the content producers and streaming services should be split up, because right now they're not really competitors in a true sence but small monopolies who each clutch the keys to their own little franchises. It should be noted for example that music streaming works a lot better: there are various competitors that each hold a viable content library on their own, so you don't need more than one music streaming service. IMO that's because Spotify, Tidal, YT Music, etc. are merely distributors and not the actual producers.

Pixel phone which doesn’t let you install CA certs any more
Is that something new? I can still install CA certs on my Pixel 6. It does give a scary warning, but you can just click through it.
Can someone explain how Biden is supposed to do this?
He already has the authority to do this through the lend-lease act for Ukraine.
Republicans are tilting further and further toward Russia and away from Ukraine
So you're saying that Biden should carry out the Republican agenda out of fear for ... the Republicans?
Independents don’t understand why we should be “spending” millions on another country.
Nice attempt at concern trolling.
You are "spending" the equivalent of 3% of your military budget to take out one of your two major adversaries without spilling a drop of American blood. That is a bargain any day of the week. I put spending between quotes by the way, because the bulk of the equipment being sent to Ukraine is not manufactured new nor does it not come from active inventory but from old stocks that would have to be disposed of soon anyway. If "independents" don't understand that, perhaps we shouldn't pay too much attention to what those "independents" think.
But that's all besides the point. The article is not even about the amount of money or equipment, but about certain critical equipment that he has been witholding or been indecisive on against the judgment of military advisors, out of some misplaced fear of provoking Russia. Things like: longer range missiles, cluster munitions for HIMARS, tanks, permission for European partners to send fighter jets, ... We are asking Ukraine to fight in ways the US or NATO would never fight.
This indecisiveness, which isn't exclusive to Biden but to all Western politicians, has direct implications on the battlefield and is costing Ukrainian lives. Western politicians have this holy fear of making a wrong decision, so they tend to draw out the decision making process until they are confident about making the decision. This wait-and-see attitude may work well in peacetime, but in wartime not making a decision is also a decision and it is often the worst decision.
Take for example the issue of Western tanks and IFVs to help Ukraine's counteroffensive. There were already calls for this in late spring 2022. By autumn 2022 the Russian army was in ruins, but Ukraine lacked the means to push their advantage home. In the end, the decision was delayed until February 2023. This delay gave ample opportunity for the Russians to mobilize troops and build extensive fortified lines.
The same thing with the fighter jets, we all knew it would be a difficult and long process and not an immediate fix, but if the pilot and crew training had started a year ago, we would be in a much better position today.
The slow, grinding pace of Ukraine’s offensive is a result of result of the Biden Administration denying and slow-rolling to Ukraine the tools it needs to fight as U.S. and NATO doctrine dict…
President Biden’s support for the Ukrainian war effort continues to be just enough for Ukraine to survive, but not enough for it to win. For Ukraine, this is like treading water wearing a 25 lb. life preserver. All your energy is required just to stay afloat; nothing is left to swim ashore.
When will the president start listening to his generals — his own military advisers? One can only assume the advice he is acting on is coming from the likes of national security advisor Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken or former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice.
Girl = neutral (das Mädchen)
No idea why lol.
Mädchen is a diminutive, and all diminutives are grammatically neutral.
It's the same in Dutch btw, and my girlfriend who is learning Dutch is frequently abusing this as a cheat code: whenever she doesn't know the gender of a word, she'll just use the diminutive and it will automatically be neutral.

Oh he died soon enough.
I earnestly wrote a couple of lines, and then a week later they replied that they don't have enough information to decide, at which point I just threw my hands up and decided for them. I don't need that kind of pedantic hoop jumping in my private life.
The only way I've found to reliably delete a huge amount of comments and posts is to do a GDPR request for your data, extract the resulting zip file and then use the free shreddit utility to delete your data. The utility has an option where you can point it to the extracted GDPR data, and it will handle everything.
So I have a webserver running nginx, and I want to use it as a reverse proxy to access web applications running elsewhere. I know this is a pretty standard use case, and that the traditional approach is to use virtual hosts to proxy the different apps.
Like, normally you would do something like:
- https://app1.webserver.something => app1.host:3000
- https://app2.webserver.something => app2.host:1234
- https://app3.webserver.something => app3.host:8080
I am familiar with this approach, and know how to set it up.
In this case, there is a catch though. For reasons that I can't get into here, I can't use virtual hosts, and everything should be hosted in the same webserver.something domain. So I thought I would use a subpath to host each app.
What I want to do is this basically:
- https://webserver.something/app1 => app1.host:3000
- https://webserver.something/app2 => app2.host:1234
- https://webserver.something/app3 => app3.host:8080
In my nginx config file I have something like this:
upstream app1 { server app1.host:3000; }
server { ... location /app1 { proxy_pass http://app1/; } ... }
This works to the extent that all requests going to /app1/* get forwarded to the correct application host. The issue though is that the application itself uses absolute paths to reference some resources. For example, app1 will try to reference a resource like /_app/something/something.js, which of course produces a 404 error.
I suppose that for this particular error I could map /_app/ to the app1 application host with another location statement, but that seems dirty to me and I don't like it. First off it could quickly become a game of whack-a-mole, trying to get all the absolute paths remapped, and secondly it could easily lead to conflicts if other applications use that absolute path too.
So I guess my question is: is there a way to do this cleanly, and dynamically rewrite those absolute paths per app?
Question for @sheodox@lemmy.world:
What's your preferred way to receive feature requests?
I see people making posts here, which is nice because it allows community discussion, but you also have a github issue tracker, which may be handier for you to actually follow up the request. I have some ideas I'd like to put forward, and I would like to use the way that's the least burdensome for you to manage.
