SVG cursors: everything that you need to know about them
  • The linked article does a great job explaining the process of creating a theme assuming you have the SVG files. If you are asking how to create SVG files, then just use any vector editor (like Inkscape, for instance). You can find plenty of tutorials on how to create vectors through online video tutorials.

  • Sorry for the late reply, I'm not on Lemmy often.

    It seems that, according to a Reddit thread, the Nobara kernel should include support for ec_sys. What does the command modinfo ec_sys output? If it doesn't return modinfo: ERROR: Module ec_sys not found., then you should just be able to enable it with sudo modprobe ec_sys and then enable it persistently across reboots with echo ec_sys | sudo tee -a /etc/modules

    EDIT: Replaced output redirection with sudo tee in case you are not running the command as root.

  • how output `ps aux | grep aUser` and keeping Newline ?
  • I'm not really sure what it is you're asking for here. As another commenter said, ps outputs a list of newline separated entries (using \n, the standard LF character). I even ran some sanity checks to make sure it wasn't using \r\n (CR LF) with the following:

    $ ps aux | grep $USER | tr -cd "\n" | wc -m
    14
    $ ps aux | grep $USER | tr -cd "\r" | wc -m
    0
    

    The output of ps aux | grep $USER is consistent with the formatting of ps aux. I also found that ps aux | grep $USER was consistent with ps -fp $(pgrep -d, -u $USER) except that ps -fp $(pgrep -d, -u $USER) shows the header (UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD), does not show the processes related to the command (entries of ps aux and grep --color=auto $USER), and does not show grep's keyword matching by highlighting all matches within a line. It is otherwise completely identical.

    Can you provide the output that you are getting that is unsatisfactory to you? I don't think I can otherwise understand where the issue is.

  • Can you paste the output of the build so we can see what specific package it is missing? Qt is not a single package, and it's very likely that you need the developer package qt-devel and its associated libraries to build, not just the base package.

  • Using a chromecast without a google account?
  • Just a thought, but since someone else in the thread said you can stream to Chromecast via VLC, you can desktop capture natively in VLC and stream that to your Chromecast. I can't remember if the native capture can do sound or not, but if not, you can instead use OBS virtual cam (you'll need v4l2loopback for the virtual cam to show up), and open that as a capture device in VLC. You should be able to attach an audio source to that as well. While I haven't personally tested it with audio, I have used OBS virtual cam with VLC before, and it worked flawlessly for me. If you can't find a more elegant solution, then it's worth a shot to try and see if it works

  • Random raspberry pi freeze
  • While I haven't personally tried it, I've heard people have issues with cooling when using the M.2 hat, especially when using their Pi for intensive applications (like hosting a Minecraft server). I'd honestly recommend just getting a 2.5" USB drive enclosure and an SSD. Costs about the same amount of money without the drawback of poor cooling. You can use it with any case, since it just connects via USB. I have been running my Pi this way for years (in fact I have never used an SD card in it).

  • School Monitoring Software Sacrifices Student Privacy for Unproven Promises of Safety
  • I agree with this sentiment 100%, but I think it lacks some of the context that these are children we are talking about. They aren't being educated on privacy or security; not by their schools, and certainly not by their parents. This generation is being raised to believe that everything they do and say needs to be posted online to social media, and their concept of privacy is virtually nonexistent. Couple that with the fact that most of them don't have a personal computer, and it leads to great levels of negligence with regard to their use of technology, and most relevant to this discussion, their use of school computers. The children being surveiled and exploited by this software don't have the education on it to understand why it is bad, or even that it is happening to begin with.

    So while yes, they shouldn't have private communications on school computers, they don't have the context to understand that or independently come to that conclusion themselves, thus those private communications will happen nonetheless.

  • NVIDIA GPU not detected after driver update
  • I am also experiencing this issue on Fedora 40 with the Negativo drivers, and I believe this is a flatpak issue. Here is a GitHub issue detailing the problem. Allegedly it has been fixed, but I have updated to the latest commit and am still having the same issue, so I am unsure what to do (I've spent a number of hours trying to troubleshoot this). You might have luck just running a flatpak update, as that is supposed to solve this issue (YMMV though, it didn't fix it for me).

  • typing trainer
  • As far as typing tests/training goes, I tend to be much more of a fan of something like monkeytype, which offers a much nicer and more customizable interface, real time feedback on speed and accuracy, and has a quotes mode that essentially is what you are looking for. Though you can copy/paste a large chunk of text in custom mode if you prefer to actually type an entire chapter of a book.

    Just thought I would provide another tool as an alternative

  • What os do you use on your pc?
  • Oh, on second look I suppose you are correct. Silverblue and Kinoite kept their names, but Sericea and Onyx (and all future spins) use the Fedora [DE] Atomic structure. I was under the impression based on the announcement that all of them followed that naming structure, since they are collectively referred to as Fedora Atomic Desktop spins now. That actually seems much weirder than having changed them all to the same structure, because it was intended to lessen confusion, but now half of the spins use a different naming scheme than the other? Strange choice imo.

    Here's the announcement I was referring to.

  • Is this just how it’s gonna be till Election Day?
  • Yes, I believe all of that is in line with what I have stated. Just to clarify, my interpretation of the previous comment was that political parties were exempt from the requirement to provide an opt out in Australia for political parties (by my interpretation, just the official parties and not unrelated political organizations), and they implied they believed it to be the case in many other countries. I have not recently reviewed the relevant laws, so I was not 100% certain if that implication would prove true in the United States (though was pretty confident that was not the case by my previous experiences with messages from officially endorsed organizations), but I went on to explain how these are not officially endorsed by political parties anyway, so if such an exemption did exist, it should not apply to this particular message.

    Thank you for the clarification!

  • Is this just how it’s gonna be till Election Day?
  • In that case, you're best off opting out and seeing if it works. If you get a text from the same group at a later date, then you can report them to the FTC. Please do not do this unless they do not honor your opt out request, as politically affiliated groups are legally allowed to market in this way so long as they provide a means to opt out of communication. Falsely reporting puts strain on the already incredibly underfunded system and prevents real scams from being caught and dealt with due to a lack of resources. I recommend you keep a list of groups you have opted out from that is easily searchable to track this. 4 years ago I got multiple of these texts per day. I have been opting out every time I receive one, and now I have not gotten one in over 2 years. Eventually you will run out of groups to opt out of, and will only be messaged by newly created groups, which will happen much more slowly than all of the groups constantly texting/calling.

    Beyond that, there isn't really much you can do. Your number is on a list, and people are buying that list. Although you could see if putting your number on the national do not call list would help (EDIT: though apparently political organizations are exempt from that on further reading). I have not done this personally, but I came across it while looking up how to report scam texts. Perhaps it could be beneficial to you (who knows?)

  • Is this just how it’s gonna be till Election Day?
  • Mine reset when I switched phones a couple months ago, and I had to manually add them to my new phone. If I hadn't noticed, then my blocked numbers list would be empty. Not saying that is a common issue, but it doesn't hurt to opt out before blocking; just don't click any links or say anything other than the opt out keyword.

  • Is this just how it’s gonna be till Election Day?
  • While I would have to find the US law and examine it more closely to tell if that is true here, these groups are not actually representatives of political parties. They are groups of self-proclaimed political advocates that try to raise money to host events that raise awareness of their causes for local voters. But they would not qualify for an exemption due to association with a political party, as they are not officially connected to or endorsed by a party.

  • Is this just how it’s gonna be till Election Day?
  • True, but if you get a new phone and your blocked numbers list is reset, or they send messages from a different number, then you could get them again in the future. I see this often because there are multiple people in that campaign that will all reach out to people with their own phone numbers. Opting out prevents that for legitimate donor campaigns (you are removed from the list for all of the solicitors associated with that campaign), but obviously not for scams. There is no harm in doing both, and I would recommend that (it's what I do).

  • Is this just how it’s gonna be till Election Day?
  • Your number is on a list of real numbers with real identities associated with them that was sold to them. Data brokers sell this information daily. They already know your number is real, but in order to comply with the law, they have to provide you with a legitimate option to opt out, so you will actually stop receiving correspondence from them if you ask them to stop (it is legally required). If not, they could be subject to a fine, but you'd obviously have to file a complaint with the relevant regulatory body for that.

    If you do not attempt to opt out, they cannot be fined for spam if this is part of a legitimate donation campaign. If you don't reply, they will continue sending messages to you in the future. It costs them almost nothing to do, so even if they didn't know your number was real, they would do it anyway. Most of the people who donate from these messages don't reply through text message anyway. And if this were an actual scam, then there is nothing they gain from receiving a text back so long as you do not open their link. But again, in order for legal action to be taken (since these political reach outs are legal and not spam so long as there is an option to opt out), you must first try to opt out.

    EDIT: Feel free to block the number after opting out. If they are legitimate (though the name is really fishy), then opting out will remove your number from all of their solicitors' lists, so you won't get texts or calls from different numbers working for the same campaign. Again, replying doesn't give them anything even if it is a scam, as your number was obtained from a real list sold to them by a data broker; they already know the number is in service. Just don't click the link in the text, and don't reply with anything other than stop.
