Google’s new AI will turn anything into an NPR segment4·9 months agoI see, my favorite podcast (“A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs”)[https://500songs.com/] has no ads. I’d strongly recommend if your interested in that kind of music

lemming934@lemmy.sdf.orgto Linux@programming.dev•20 years later, real-time Linux makes it to the kernel - really7·10 months agoI’m not an expert, but have used a real time kernel for scientific research, using rtxi. My understanding is that the real time threads allows the computations to occur in a deterministic amount of time. This is necessary if you want to quickly respond to changes in personal membrane voltage with injections of current, and don’t want it to sometimes take longer to calculate how much current to inject.

I think this isn’t a good argument, since school shootings are rare, and it’s unclear if each student having a phone would do more harm than good in that kind of situation.

lemming934@lemmy.sdf.orgto Fediverse@lemmy.world•President Biden is now posting into the fediverseEnglish45·1 year agoThe obscurity of the Fediverse is not its defense from enshittification. The fact that it’s so easy to move from server to server is.
If lemmy.world enshittifies, you can just move to lemmy.sdf.org without a big loss.
I think that lemmy could use more people.

lemming934@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•On this day in 1991, Linus Torvalds announced he was working on what would become LinuxEnglish0·2 years agoit still doesn’t work with a whole load of software even with Wine.
I don’t think being able to run programs designed and compiled for windows is a requirement to be considered a usable os. For example, you can not run safari on windows. Does this mean windows doesn’t count as a usable os?
I think the definition of useable should be that software exists that can do the kind of things you want to do on your computer. In that sense, Linux is perfecty useable on the desktop, at least for people who have similar computing requirements to me.

I think your problem is that you aren’t pointing PowerShell at the right folder. You can use the
cd
command to get to the right folder containing the python script and config file.

Changing the folder PowerShell is looking at is easy to do, but hard to explain.
lemming934@lemmy.sdf.orgto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Now that smaller instances are disappearing, which instances do you think will stand the test of time?English1·2 years agoHere’s a thread where I helped someone else with the process on windows: https://lemmy.sdf.org/comment/1420339
The steps are:
- Set up the python code
- Go to https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate/releases/tag/v1.1.0
- Download the zip file
- Extract the zip file, to make a folder somewhere on your system called lemmy_migrate-1.1.0. Remember where this folder is
- Inside the folder you will find a file called
config.ini
. Use notepad to edit the file to have your server URL and login credentials.
- Set up the python interpreter
- Install python from https://www.python.org/downloads/
- Open powershell
- install the python package requests by pasting the following command into powershell:
py -m pip install --user requests
- Use the python interpreter to interpret your python
- first make sure powershell is looking at the correct folder. One way to do this is to open the lemmy_migrate-1.1.0 folder in windows explorer. right click on the box that shows you the path, and copy the text. then write
cd <pasted path>
in powershell. This path will very likely be something likeC:\\Users\Wu9fee\Downloads\lemmy_migrate-1.1.0
. If you don’t want to copy and paste the path from explorer, you can just docd Downloads
thencd lemmy_migrate-1.1.0
- Finaly, you can run the python command with
py lemmy-migrate.py -c config.ini
- first make sure powershell is looking at the correct folder. One way to do this is to open the lemmy_migrate-1.1.0 folder in windows explorer. right click on the box that shows you the path, and copy the text. then write
Let me know if you run into any problems.
If you can pull this off, you can officially say you know how to code.
- Set up the python code

py -m pip install --user requests py lemmy-migrate.py -c config.ini
Ive used pythorhead which seems to be more actively maintained
