cat `find /sys -name pp_power_profile_mode`

If by "advanced mode" you mean the "expert" installer, it's not in graphics mode so you wouldn't need the ctrl key.

Edit: Actually there is also a "graphical expert install" apparently, but anyway you may be in text mode. You could instead pick rescue mode from the menu as well.

Did an AI write that, or are you a human with an uncanny ability to imitate their style?

Pleroma and Misskey users literally off the chart

Did this highly scientific study contemplate the possibility that this is in part the result of people feeling like they're more justified in turning to piracy if a game is burdened with Denuvo?

Spoiler: It does not, so far as I can tell at first glance. It appears that the model is constructed entirely from DRM-crippled games that got cracked, and then then the estimate of how much revenue would be lost by going DRM-free from the start is extrapolated from that based on the assumption that it makes no difference. Maybe it's true, but the acknowledgement that it "can and often does cause problems, and some developers have chosen to avoid Denuvo altogether because it had such a negative impact on how well their game would run" sort of suggests otherwise.

It appears to be @linuxprepper@podcast.james.network for those who want to follow it.

To have it post to lemmy I believe you'd just need to address things to e.g. @fediverse@lemmy.world

People have to understand the concept of the fediverse

That's the argument. Do they, though? I sure didn't when I first signed up.

Okay I watched the few seconds of video at the end of a three-hour long video apparently about Facebook where he mentions "federated social media using open decentralized technologies such as activitypub" as it is known. The ratio of time and effort he's inclined to devote to each topic speaks for itself. My understanding of what he says: "Sounds complicated. I'm not touching it until all my friends are already there."

I'm not saying you're a nazi, but if you think the main problem with social media is that everyone calls you a nazi you should consider the possibility that you might be.

What was the problem again?

The discourse about Mozilla is ridiculous, here and most everywhere. You've got people taking every perceived opportunity to attack them for things they do, things they didn't do, and things it's imagined they might've done. And then another crowd of equally determined people doggedly defending them for every idiotic blunder they make, such as this one.

Meanwhile Mozilla itself has nothing substantial to say. This is not the first time a prominent extension has mysteriously gone missing from amo with Mozilla telling us nothing about its role in the incident. @mozilla@mozilla.social needs to be in the discussion giving us a real explanation of what happened, why they got it wrong, and what they're doing to improve things.

Indeed. But cups-browsed isn't necessary in order to be able to print things, it's for automatically discovering new printers on the network.
