The regulation actually enforces that PD is implemented if high speed charging is available and that it can’t be limited in speed compared to any other charging protocol that’s also available on the device, irrespective of the charging device used.

We don’t need to guess if we can just read the regulation: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32022L2380&qid=1691523718368.

Exactly. The image is saved in landscape orientation with a note in the EXIF data that it should be rotated by 90 degrees when viewed. Lemmy apparently ignores this note and also strips all EXIF data, so this information is lost.

Except when Musk doesn’t like what you’re saying.

Imagine a system where you are just an end user, one of hundreds or even thousands, and the admin removes an application. I would be furious if the admin would also delete my personal application data from my homedir. There could be important settings in there, that I might want to move to another system, or maybe I’ll install my own flatpak in my homedir and continue to use those settings. There could be stuff in there that’s important and for which no backup exists.

So how would you implement that: would you, while uninstalling a system flatpak, be given the option to only remove your personal files and leave the files in other homedirs intact? Or should it remove the files for all other users too, without their permission? In my opinion the best way is to just leave the files alone. I think it makes sense and I think using a 3rd party app to remove the remnants is fine. It works the same on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Maybe adding something to the OS to detect these files and ask each user independently would be a nice addition, but not as part of the uninstall process of the flatpak.

The user data in your homedir is usually left intact, which makes sense to me, especially in a multi user environment. That’s not unique to flatpak either. If you reinstall you retain your settings, session, etc. For flatpak you can find those in ~/.var/app.

As a Western European casually reading headlines on social media, it’s mind boggling what’s happening now in Florida. From my outside perspective it seems like Florida is shaping up to be a fascist Christian state, with all kinds of laws and policies specifically made to target racial and sexual minorities and liberals. What’s next: religious minorities and intellectuals? I’m sure it must feel the same for a lot of you across the ocean. How is it possible that people like DeSantis are in power? Is it because of years of extreme polarization? Surely it can’t be that the majority in Florida is this intolerant and hateful, right? Do you think there is even the slightest chance that DeSantis will be the next president?

Without filter lists and no custom filters it doesn’t do anything helpful.

Host based blocking can never be as complete as blocking inside your browser and there is no way around that. The reason is that host based blocking falls short where tracking content and ads are served from the same hostname as the actual content. Furthermore, some tracking hosts might be whitelisted because just blocking them would break functionality.

I personally use uBlock Origin with ETP at its default setting, which works well for me without breakage, but judging from your post you might be looking for a solution without browser extensions. The ETP tracking protection is supposed to block tracking, sometimes without letting the website know that it’s disabled, by replacing the tracking code with dummy code. On strict mode you run more risk of things breaking, similar to how strict host based blocking breaks some websites.

I think you came to the right conclusion: it works better in native Wayland mode and apparently your default driver supports video acceleration. Firefox on Fedora has had Wayland support enabled by default for years now and while there were plenty of issues in the beginning, it runs very well now in my experience, so I don’t see any reason not to enable it.

Exactly, make sure that there is a curb between the road and the bicycle lane where possible, improve crossings/intersections, legislation, etc. There are lots of possibilities to improve safety without making it less appealing to use a bicycle.

When I was young, they used to regularly mow the green spaces around roads and highways in the Netherlands. Nowadays it seems like they keep it to a minimum, which is to say that they try to keep it safe and keep the signs visible, but other than that the plants grow much higher and seem more diverse. I really like it and I think it makes a lot of sense, especially in densely populated areas. A quick search suggests that’s it’s mostly at the regional level that they’ve decided to implement this.

That’s not to say that nature in the Netherlands is anything to write home about, because we don’t have much of it and we’re dealing with a nitrogen crisis and regular droughts. It’s just a small positive thing that I noticed.

Thanks for sharing.
