I was on anti depressants for a while, which not only reduced libido hugely, they removed the ability to orgasm. Like, you’d get to the final crest of the wave but never be able to reach it. Very frustrating and I get why you’re angry. Now and then I could climax but it would be pretty much without any satisfaction.

Google only when dd fails me.
To tbh, many of the things I used to use a search engine for I now use a variety of chatbots. No adverts, just answers. (I suspect this won’t last)

1·4 天前If you really care that little about what happens to your corpse, why does having it stuffed in a box with your family bother you so much?
OP did say that didn’t, they’re more concerned about wasting money.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the best laptop you can get for under 650€?English
3·9 天前I’m pretty happy with the asus vivobook I bought for half that. Very fast processor, 8gb, 256. My only criticism is it’s a little flexible in that if you lift by one corner the track button will fire. Minor issue, otherwise it’s been great for two years.
As everyone is saying “used thinkpad” - do your homework for the specific model. They are legendary, but that legend is not universal. Lenovo traded on their name and produced some pretty poor models for a long time. They are very often: Overpriced. Or crap quality. Or so old that they’re not usable.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How would you go about getting your town to plant more trees?English
4·10 天前“The best time to plant a tree was yesterday. The second best time is today.”
Officially - be the person. Be passionate and tireless. This isn’t about money - whips are cheap and if you can get some momentum behind socials then people will donate trees, tools and money.
Find what land your local council actually owns and visit it. See what’s possible. (No overhead lines, safe, easy access for pedestrians, soil conditions etc)
Then find out who’s responsible on your council and visit them. Make it easy for them - have lots of options, have the answers ready, make it clear there’s public demand. Most town officials have limited budget that’s already allocated, not much time, and are often not hugely motivated by yet another half-arsed proposal to spend both, so get it right. Be dogged, you’ll get brush offs and you’ll hear no a lot, so keep trying. Eventually you will connect with the right person at the right time and things will happen. The positive feedback then is pretty motivating and you’ll learn a lot of new skills.
Don’t expect universal support even from the public - a percentage of people will try to drag you down, or deliberately sabotage them. Forget them, or if they damage the trees, get the media in - the outcry will get you more momentum.
Obviously this is a lot of work, but it’s how stuff gets done.
If you can’t face that, I would understand it, and as guerilla gardening has already been mentioned, that’s absolutely a valid way too. Even just picking up rubbish on those walks is rewarding and beneficial.

Technology@lemmy.world•France orders internet providers to block access to Polymarket prediction siteEnglish
1·14 天前Good take that they’re a business, but if they have no physical presence in France there is very little else the French Government can do, other than what they’ve just done.

Technology@lemmy.world•France orders internet providers to block access to Polymarket prediction siteEnglish
4·15 天前Same way. Transfer money in once you’re on the website and is not being blocked at bank level. They also take crypto so it’s not like the bank can block it either even if France tried to block that.
BTW, I think the site and premis behind Polymarket is shit and nobody should use it, but blocking websites effectively has proven difficult at a technical level. (See PirateBay, still going strong despite everything entire governments and massive lobbying power can throw at it, and 4chan’s refusal to be blocked by the UK’s OSA) Most governments settle for the political win and blocking people with only a casual interest, which is fair enough. Most serious attempts at blocking specific sites tends just to make lawyers richer.

41·15 天前Depends, but immediately for either case.
A) Mostly likely. The ISP blocks DNS resolution for that domain, directing users to a placeholder site instead. User just uses a DNS resolver other than their ISPs such as Google’s or Cloudflare’s - easy, quick, free.
B) The ISP also has to block routing to IPs associated with the site. Unlikely, but easily circumvented by using a VPN so that your direct routing goes via elsewhere. Easy, quick, free or paid.
These blocks are common for sites a government deems illegal or undesirable. Nothing new here at a technical level.
Bit of an existential question, but in terms of all the thousands of database schemas, there is usually justification to keep the record after a person’s death, even allowing for the possibility of fraudulent use of id. Unlike physical media, most of these datasets are considered ‘live’ data (Ironic terminology), but sometimes there can be a delay in that propogating to all copies. For example, a company will often send a copy of a contact list to a mailing house that might take a month to complete their process - generally the company wouldn’t be expected to issue a redaction.
On a technical level, it’s normally done with something like a DateOfDeath column that is null, or a boolean IsAlive/IsValid.
For less official datasets where governmental protections don’t override it, GDPR and similar laws may come into play where - unless you have a clear and stated justification for keeping the data for a limited time after your company’s relationship with that person has ceased (called ‘Legitimate interest’) then you MUST delete that data and all references to it.
But yes, fraud exists in all the ways you can think of and a lot more too. People claiming a dead relatives’ benefits, or getting credit using fake details - it’s obviously illegal and there are consequences.
If a debian based distro there’s several ways to copy your package choices from one machine to another, the likes of using dpkg --get-selections and using that output on the new machine with --set-selections, but probably the easiest way is to use apt-clone, which streamlines that process to install the same packages on the new machine.
As for your firefox and desktop packages, they’ll be saved in /home/username (usually in .hidden dirs) - so just copy all of that over.
Alternatively, use an image cloner like clonezilla to make an exact disk copy and install that.
Or run your machine as a vm inside Proxmox or another hypervisor. That way you can have instant snapshots before you do risky things, as well as multiple scheduled entire-machine backups.
Or ansible (which I do a lot of), which can set whatever packages and copy your golden-image files over as you want. (But keeping those up to date requires a little thought)

Only if you use windows. Steam runs on linux as well, and the majority of the same games play perfectly.

Hello fellow codger. I, 55m, work amongst much younger people. Here’s my take: It’s not about age.
People “who only care about gossip” - well, there’s as many of those in the older age group. Age sometimes teaches people cunning, so they’re less overt, but they’re sure as hell gossiping about you and everyone else when they find a friendly ear. IME, the only difference age brings to work relationships is a different set of cultural references. They’ll talk about stuff you’ve never heard of - and you’ll be doing the same to their ear.
It sounds like you’re new to this workplace, and possibly working with people of differing ages and experiences. That’s fine, I’ve been there too. (Full career change in my late 40s). It’s scary, uncertain and confusing - but just dive in.
In any group, there’ll be a few people you get on with, some you don’t, and the majority somewhere in the grey middle. Some will go out of their way to help you some of the time. Some won’t. Some are annoying, some aren’t. If someone offers to help and does the opposite - that’s a useful thing to learn about them.
If you’re annoyed by them, then much of the resolution lies within you. Mentally close them out, or find ways to deal with those feelings. This can’t be the first time you’ve been in this situation?
