The last Austrian that did big damage to the world would beg to differ

Wow, I haven't been keeping up with MIA outside the music, but I feel like I'm missing a few steps between her pro-immigration music and endorsing far right US politicians.

Review says puberty blocker curb has not led to suicide rise by galmuth in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

That's not denial, it's looking at the evidence.

It's not used as a healthcare metric. This is just debunking reports that a healthcare policy was directly causing an "explosion" in suicides.

[Help] Issue with on-screen keyboard (feddit.uk)

submitted 8 months ago by galmuth@feddit.uk to c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

My on-screen keyboard in desktop mode has somehow become undocked and wider than the screen, making it hard to press certain keys which are half off-screen. It still works otherwise - I can open the keyboard by pressing X and close the keyboard by pressing L4.

I don't know how this has happened in the first place, and I can't find a setting for it in Steam. Any idea how I can reset the keyboard position?

Nautilus File Manager Gets More Features Ahead of the GNOME 46 Release - 9to5Linux by galmuth in c/linux@lemmy.ml

They intentionally removed this feature years ago. It was possible to reenable via a dconf setting for a while but I believe that was also eventually removed.
So annoying.

Need to switch to Hanna Montana Linux now by galmuth in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

[-] galmuth@feddit.uk 9 points 11 months ago

Yeah, this isn't that bad. It's just a suggestion after running an apt upgrade. NPM has similar plugs which I don't find too annoying.

In fact its not even as intrusive as NPM's funding requests, as it is only 2 lines of text, plus it looks like Ubuntu Pro is free for personal use.

Rishi Sunak wades into debate over trans people, declaring no one can change sex by galmuth in c/world@lemmy.world

[-] galmuth@feddit.uk 32 points 1 year ago

You're not technically wrong, but it's a nuanced issue and people should treat it as such rather than black and white.

Sunak saying "no one can change sex" without any qualifying statements is just designed to inflame and divide people.

US warns of Chinese disinformation. China says that's disinformation by galmuth in c/world@lemmy.world

They were clearly referring to online foreign disinformation, not domestic disinformation.

Valve Is A Wonderful Upstream Contributor To Linux & The Open-Source Community by galmuth in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml

[-] galmuth@feddit.uk 33 points 1 year ago

Valve are a private company, so Microsoft can't just barge in and buy it up.

Considering the investment Valve has poured into Linux because Gabe doesn't trust Microsoft enough to have his business rely on Windows, I'd be pretty shocked if he decided to sell up to Microsoft.

CBC: Sask. engineer slapped with an 18-month suspension after designing bridge that collapsed hours after opening by galmuth in c/world@lemmy.world

[-] galmuth@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago

the RM "installed gravel on the bridge to a depth of 13 to 16 inches with an average depth of 14 inches, which far exceeded the specified load."

WTF, why the hell would they go and dump 16 inches of gravel on the bridge? That's an awful lot of weight.

Clearly this guy couldn't have stopped them dumping gravel after the bridge was completed, but allowing the client to save money on critical safety measures is inexcusable.
