  • So, I think there could be something weird going on with web browser caches.

    I’m quite confident, that that is not the problem.

    As you can see, there’s quite the gap where several entries should be.

    I might be able to see a more updated version of the modlog because I’m a moderator?

    Yah, maybe. I thought the mod log was completely public. But, I might be mistaken. I’ll have a look at the github issues to see if this is a known problem.


  • Weird. I looked into lemmy.world mod log and filtered for them: the latest action shown to me was 4 days ago … maybe a bug in the filter mechanism? Also, the post from yesterday is still visible to me on unilem.org. That seems to be a federation issue though, with posts not reliably getting removed on federated instances. If I look at linuxmemes via lemmy.world, the post is indeed gone. I saw in the mod’s profile, that they posted something concerning moderation, but trying to view that only threw an error for me. The overall lemmy experience seems to be still quite buggy.

    TL;DR: You are right and the mod is still active. For a slew of reasons/bugs it looked otherwise to me. But I should have looked more closely.

    Anyways, I’ve written to them and linked to this post.

    Edit:

    I just checked again, to see if I made some stupid mistake. This is the filtered mod log:

    And I still see the new post (and the old) which you said was removed:

    If I didn’t know better by now, I’d still say that linuxmemes looks unmoderated (at least on my end).





  • This is victim blaming.

    Only to some degree. The guy is a software engineer and should have known better. I’d agree if it was Jenny from accounting. You could just as well point out “victim blaming” when I called someone a moron for jumping from a three storey building and breaking his legs, because it was neither his intention nor was he aware that it could break his legs. For a software engineer to employ cloud based “smart” devices and then wonder if it backfires is borderline moronic.

    What do you mean by passthrough here? Usually passthrough refers to passing through a GPU to a virtual machine. And there is no cooperation whatsoever required between the GPUs for that. That makes me think you’re talking about offloading: one GPU controlling the display, while the other does the heavy lifting of 3d rendering. Last time I checked - several years ago - that is impossible with the proprietary nvidia driver, unless you have hardware that supports that, like prime in laptops. The only way to do offloading to a nvidia card without such hardware was to use the open source driver nouveau. And at the time there was absolutely no point in offloading with nouveau because it had such terrible performance. Now, this might have changed on several fronts since then; so take it with a grain of salt.

    […] Outlook […] it is the best email client by far […]

    You must be kidding. I get it that you might be required to use it for work (I’ve been in that boat more than once). But outlook is a terrible, buggy, and infuriating clusterfuck of an email client. There are so many better alternatives. It has piss-poor handling for different encodings, still not defaulting to utf8. Randomly showing garbled Chinese letters to some people sometimes for no obvious reason. Losing connection to Exchange for hours without telling you. Still not supporting quoting standards which have been around for three decades. The settings are a convoluted mess. Filtering can only be done via a super clunky and unintuitive GUI; no scripting support. I could go on and on and on … The only thing where it is arguably better than other alternatives, is with the calender integration and for planning meetings. But that is only because that is not a common email client feature, hence why most email clients don’t have it at all. But even for that there are alternatives which are on par if not better. Kontact from the KDE suite comes to mind. I mean, which demented mind at Microsoft thought it was a good idea, that an email equals a calendar entry for a meeting? The obvious way to implement it is that you have two things that are linked, that reference each other: one email, one calendar entry (like everybody else implements it). Microsoft: emails and calendar entries are the same thing - delete one, lose the other. I can not wrap my head around how anybody can have used outlook and comparable alternatives and come to the conclusion that the infuriatung dumpster fire of outlook is “the best thing”. Either you haven’t really worked with a meaningful number of alternatives, are trolling, or have some severe mental issues (Stockholm syndrome?) that you should seek help for.
