@MasterBlaster If the company is in the EU, and they use AI to do facial recignition, that is actually illegal! See https://natlawreview.com/article/use-ai-recruitment-and-hiring-considerations-eu-and-us-companies

@33550336 Thanks! I’m still figuring some things out as I go but it’s just some habits I don’t have!

@FreddiesLantern Aside from the hiccups I mentionned, it works great! I was surprised my backlit keyboard even works, but I think that’s managed by my bios.

I’ll keep on using it, but I’m trying to document my struggles because if Linux is aiming to be a good alternative to Windows computers getting to end of life, then some set up wouldn’t be done by most people and just assume it’s broken and maybe switch back to Windows where it “Just works”.

Maybe this can help with the onboarding experience!

@EtnaAtsume Mint install or not, you should regularly back up your data in an external drive!

Yes, installing mint on the Windows partition deletes Windows and all your files so make a backup or put them on another partition!

But without deleting your data, you can always boot from an USB stick and try thingd around in this environnement!

@cupcakezealot It’s
neofetch

Try it! :blobcathug:

@Creat My laptop is weird, because it has a media key for screenshoting an area (which is basically a key that doed Windows Shift S which isn’t recognized by default on Mint), and a print screen key which works fine. And to screenshot an area, on Mint it’s ctrl+print screen

@Nyadia Figured it out and it worked! Strange that this isn’t the default.

@scott It’s a mastodon post, lemmy federates it and takes the start of the post as a title. Can’t do much about that :blobcatcoffee:

@cmnybo I figured it out, but I think it’s still not very intuitive when you’re used to it working by default!

@eatCasserole I have found a software called Diodon, and seems to work fine!
You need to set a custom shortcut in your settings but besides that it does the job

@hard_zero1 Thanks so much! It worked! :blobcatheart:

@First_Thunder Is there any way to disable that?

@herseycokguzelolacak Just like how clicking any web links (be it from the shitty widgets menu or from windows search) that open the browser, open as edge:// links which force opening on Microsoft Edge even if it’s not your default browser. This sucks but at least I can uninstall Edge easily from the settings (maybe because I am in the EU)

Seriously considering switching to Linux lately!

@anamethatisnt @schnurrito Good catch, I did not include a licence, now it’s MIT licensed!

@First_Thunder More like “Chromium takes ~2x longer to process folder uploads (before I can even read the files)”, and “Chromium drops all files without the subfolders when you drop a folder on a page (it’s just like if you uploaded all the files from inside all the folders), although it still works fine when you use the upload button for some reason”

So yeah, firefox optimized because Firefox implements the features better haha

@geneva_convenience Elaborate?

@ShellMonkey Be careful, obfuscation isn’t encryption!
And no, there doesn’t need to be a publicly shared token! Take a look at how simplexchat does it!

@ShellMonkey That’s true, but these should also be encrypted, don’t you think?
Sure the messages could still be encrypted but from the metadata you can most of the time infer the content.

It’s a bit long, but you can read this if you’re interested
