Discord requiring you to add a phone number **after** the creation of your account in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

This is or was part of their anti-spam/flooding protection.

That's the official explanation. A phone number is a nice way to attach a real world identity to the data (which of course is sold to advertisers/data brokers etc).

It's all Fediverse. You can follow things on lemmy on mastodon and vice versa and so on.

Since Xorg is getting old, looking at trying Wayland WMs in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

Not the same thing. With session saving I don't have configure anything.

KDE + wayland on Tumbleweed gave me this experience.

Wayland has at least one deal breaker for me. It doesn't remember where my windows were at logout when saving the session. I have six virtual desktops and have specific windows in certain desktops. Putting everything back where they belong after each login, no thank you. Until they add that I'll stick to X11.

Coders or lemmy, what editors do you use? Is it worth learning a new one? in c/programming@programming.dev

[–] FrostyPolicy@suppo.fi 5 points 1 week ago

I'll add shift + f6 for refactor rename and ctrl + 6 for redefining your function i.e. add/remove parameters and/or return value.

I use Jetbrains' products for all my coding needs.

Remote Desktop over SSH ? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

X11 can be easily forwarded over ssh. You do need to have at least the application you want to forward installed on RPI, possibly X11 as well. You also need a X11 server on the other side.

On a related note. Why would creators add sponsored segments/other sponsoring/patreon etc if YT pays them enough?

spoiler

YT doesn't pay them enough. Unless your some kind of super star.

Even youtube doesn't pay the creators that much. Lois Rossman in a recent video showed some of his video in YT that had over 200k views and generated ~100 USD of income.

Nebula pays creators, and you pay to Nebula.

Even university students studying computer science don't have this basic knowledge anymore.

I have on the host machine two network interfaces. One is lan and the other is a wlan. For libvirt I have created a nat network which is bound to the wlan. From the guest I can access other machines in the network host wlan is connected to. Also DNS lookup works. The problem is that there's no connection to the internet at all, e.g. pinging something gives "Destination network unreachable". ~~This only happens when both network connection on the host are active.~~ Running qemu/libvirt on OpenSuse Tumbleweed.

The nat network in question:

<network>
  <name>natToWlan</name>
  <uuid>a44c939c-e6bf-44d0-8f86-376056d418a4</uuid>

    <nat>
      <port start="1024" end="65535"/>
    </nat>
    <interface dev="wlp19s0f4u1u1"/>
  </forward>
