It uses other signals too, like what other sites you’ve visited with that checkbox on it, what CloudFlare has seen your IP address doing in the past, etc.

The google one is able to see if you’re logged into a google account and take that into account.

There’s even a new variant of the Google captcha that is invisible and doesn’t even bother to show a checkbox.

I’ve used a number of different Linux distros (including Debian) on laptops over the years. Although most recently my XPS 15 was running Arch.

The web is built on hot linking hypermedia. It is more fragile obviously, but it distributes the bandwidth and storage load. If nobody hotlinked, then small forum admins/Lemmy admins/etc. have considerably more cost to bear.

As a compiler developer this speaks to me on a deep level lol

((a, b) => a ?? b)();

const fn = (a, b) => a ?? b

ARM, but Apple has the most advanced ARM chips and macOS /The AS Platform has the best amd64 to arm64 translation layer.

I mean at that point you’re basically running macOS 😉

I couldn’t imagine buying any laptop other than a Mac because the performance to battery life ratio on everything else is awful. Plus if you want a UNIX system, it’s an easy buy.

After owning an Apple ARM laptop I’d never go back to anything else.

Manjaro and Antergos are just asking for trouble. If you want Arch, use Arch. Otherwise Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint, and Fedora are popular.

I don’t think the full Radeon suite is on Linux but there are tools for screen recording like simple screen recorder and OBS.

There is lots of 3rd party software available on all of these distros in their respective package managers, but Ubuntu has the advantage with PPAs allowing for more 3rd party repos to be easily added to the package manager.

HDR support is still very early/basic right now: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/HDR_monitor_support

Good Girl by Aquilo. It brings up a lot of relatable feelings around growing up Christian and ultimately is quite sweet.

I don’t think there’s any malice here. Someone just forgot to put up a robots.txt on the bard website.

Wow that website is cancer to load on mobile.

eh I use Linux on my desktop but macOS is a nicely polished UNIX operating system. It’s only locked down for average users, you can usually get away with a quick sudo or worst-case going into single user mode and disabling some system protections.

I definitely prefer using *nix operating systems, and macOS gives me that for portable computing. I’m still more productive on Linux, but it’s not too far apart.

True, you’re correct. I’m just not sure how you did it without corrupting the sled db. Maybe I’m just unlucky

Interesting, when I tried a while back it broke all images (not visible on the website due to service worker caching but visible if you put any pictrs url into postman or something)

I wrote a patch for Lemmy a week or so ago if you want to skip the caching: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3897

I think deleting images from the pictrs storage can corrupt the pictrs sled db so I would not advise it, you should go via the purge endpoint on the pictrs API.

Just a note that my PR there doesn’t disable pictrs for your own instance’s users. It just disables the caching of remote content.

The Lemmy instance I’m speaking from right now is running in my k8s cluster.
