Yeah and if I’m not mistaken, Randle is soon gonna be a free agent so they don’t have to keep him if he doesn’t fit.
I think the trade is good for both sides even if I’d have wanted Randle to stay with the knicks for a while for a nice story.
I’ve only done it for a year now, but I’m giving CHF 100.- (around 100$) equally shared between all the open source projects I’m using a lot.
I keep a list to remember all of them and I update it every year.
And then I’m adapting to the platform they use to get money.
I’ve watched the trailer and it doesn’t look good enough to justify buying the remake I think.
I also fear that I may just be too old for Metal Gear. I used to love them though and I’ve played all of them at least 3 times, except the fifth one which was just a huge disappointment.
It was great when it was proposed, but since it was proposed only 2 times out of 10 you ended up wasting more time.
Still it would be nice to see it return as a functional feature 👍
Well to be honest I don’t remember exactly how it didn’t work on my other computer since it was months ago.
I just want to future proof the ability to clone my Surface Go install on any future computer just in case.

Well thanks for your precise answer. It’s nice to have some civilized people being able to just discuss about a topic.
We can just agree to disagree before I leave the topic 😅
That’s the thing, often you don’t know if someone has committed a crime and looking into their phone can also prove that they’re not guilty.
I ain’t talking about any method outside of the law. Willingly cooperating isn’t illegal. Nothing forces you to be friendly with your neighbors, but being friendly with your neighbor isn’t illegal.
Because your friend would just be doing it out of curiosity, not as part of an investigation.
I’m not saying that anyone not unlocking their phone has done something illegal, but just that some people who are refusing to give something willingly to the police is making them waste precious time which could be used to catch up with the bad guy.
Again I can only talk about my country and maybe in the US cops are awful, I don’t know. But I know that family of victims would love people to just cooperate with the police and not make them waste time..
I totally agree with you and that’s what we have in my country.
At least someone on Lemmy is not jumping on the ACAB stuff train.
People are the first one to criticize us (sometimes with good reasons) but they are the first one to call us when they are in deep shit.
If someone from your family gets abducted and the police can ask your neighbors to cooperate and give information without everyone just using a right to remain silent or lie, I’m sure you would be happy with the time gained to help you find your family member.
Employé de l’état à Genève, je suis contraint d’utiliser un iPhone et Windows au travail.
Je lis donc cet article avec enthousiasme et j’espère que bientôt nous ne ferons plus appel aux géants des GAFAM pour notre administration.
I agree with you, you can’t know for sure that you’re with a good or bad cop.
But you also have to comply with laws if you don’t want to get in trouble.
I can only answer for my country and I can tell you that here you’re gonna waste way less time if you show what’s in your phone and we can see that you’re innocent.
The time not wasted there might also be used to catch the person who’s really guilty.
I’ll just give you an example even if it’s not reated to unlocking phones: A black BMW 335i is filmed hitting a pedestrian and the plate number finishes with a 5. We’re gonna need to have a look at every BMW within these parameters. If you prevent the police from checking your car by hiding it, a guilty guy might have more time to hide his car and a crime is gonna go unpunished, leaving a victim with no one to pay for his injuries.
Of course, that reality might be different elsewhere. It’s just that I have noticed that on Lemmy cops are only seen as bad guys when, in my case, I spend a lot of time helping people.
I’m a cop and I can tell you that, at least in my country, you’d have no reason to not unlock your phone if you haven’t done anything.
I can understand that in some countries cops can be seen as criminals (and are behaving like criminals), but I don’t think a generality should be made. Just like a generality shouldn’t be made about people from an origin all doing the same bad thing.
Also don’t take advices from what you see on Lemmy as every user comes from a different country with different laws.
In my country, we can take your phone but we aren’t allowed to unlock it without your consent or without a prosecutor saying so.
Hi everyone!
For a while, I've been using the surface kernel for my Surface Go using Fedora 40. The other day I tried to clone my installation with Clonezilla to put it on another old computer I had lying around.
It didn't work and I have a suspicion that it didn't because of the surface kernel so I'm trying to use the stock kernel instead.
After a few modifications, usinge uname -a, this is the output I get: Linux surface-go-fedora-de-guillaume 6.10.10-200.fc40.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Sep 12 18:26:09 UTC 2024 x86_64 GNU/Linux
When using uname -mrs, this is the output I get: Linux 6.10.10-200.fc40.x86_64 x86_64
Can someone with more knowledge than me confirm that everything is back to stock form as I don't know if the SMP PREEMPT thing shoud be there? Doe's anyone know if the Surface Kernel is probably what prevented me from cloning my installation and putting it on another computer?
Steam Deck is really tempting but I’ve seen a lot of videos where people are struggling to find settings in order to be able to play a game, especially the latest AAA games.
A Steam Deck is less powerful than a PlayStation 4, so you might not be able to play a lot of future games.
Still the concept is really tempting and I might one day buy a Steam Console or Steam Deck 2 instead of a PlayStation 6 depending on the direction Sony is taking.
I also love the fact that Valve is supporting Linux.
Yeah but the tinkering involved with PC gaming is stopping me from making the jump.
Same with the fact that developers don’t get fixed hardware for around 7 years and you can’t know how well a game is gonna run on your computer.
For now I prefer the cheap Linux admin computer and the console for gaming.
I’m paying around 70$ for the base PlayStation plus in Switzerland and I’m happy with the games I’m getting for free with it. It allowed me to discover quite a few games I’d have never tried otherwise.
If it gets more expensive, I might clearly cancel it, but now I still feel like it’s a good deal.
I’m more worried about the prices of console hardware going up and almost equaling a pc while still having to pay for online or stuff like that..
Really useful tool!
It even helped me as my Surface Go didn’t want to boot on a USB drive, but accepted to boot on it through Ventoy.
It’s one of these miracle software 👍
Some of the things he said are what’s keeping me on PlayStation. You just get the game (probably update it) and you can play it without worries.
I love Linux, but I don’t think I’m ready yet to become a PC gamer unless Sony tries some really anti consumer shit like getting rid of discs while still letting you locked in their PlayStation store.
I’d be willing to pay extra to buy a retro compatibility feature, but never as a subscription.
At first I thought they were talking about compatibility with every previous PlayStation, including the third one.
Sadly we’re not even sure that’s coming for the PlayStation 6.
Hi everyone,
First of all, I know WhatsApp doesn’t belong to Google so I’m technically in the wrong community.
Still I think getting rid of Facebook is part of the same movement.
I’ve been using Threema (and Signal/SMS a little bit) for years with all my close contacts, but I can’t fully get rid of WhatsApp as I’m part of some groups where I can’t convince/force everyone to move to Threema.
Because I was still on WhatsApp, a lot of people outside of the necessary groups thought it was okay to contact me on WhatsApp.
I had looked into ways of blocking everyone except these essential groups, but I couldn’t find anything on the web.
Now I think I’ve found the solution to prevent people outside of these necessary WhatsApp groups to write to me on WhatsApp. I had never heard of it before yesterday, but you can download a WhatsApp Business app which lets you send automated answers when people are writing to you.
So I basically just created an automated answer telling people that I’m using Threema/Signal/Sms and that I won’t answer on WhatsApp. Now I don’t have to write long messages telling people to please write to me on another app (and then these people keep writing on WhatsApp of course). So now it’s make the effort or leave me alone 😅
I still plan in ditching WhatsApp for good at one point, but it seems like a good temporary solution and, since I hadn’t found anyone suggesting this idea, I thought I would share it here to help people who have the same problem.
Hi everyone!
A few days ago, I had a problem while trying to run KDE and Gnome as DE on Fedora 40. That problem was solved (see crosspost), but now, I can't update Fedora anymore as it says "the transaction did not complete" and I can't install or uninstall anything as it says I don't have space on my disk (which is not true).
Does anyone have an idea what to do?
Edit: apparently dnf clean and dnf clean all solved the problem, so thank you everyone as I was kind of panicking when I thought about all the work involved into having my perfect install again.

Hi everyone!
Today I tried to install KDE alongside Gnome to give it a try on Fedora on something else than a virtual machine.
For a reason I can't understand, the terminal couldn't finish the installation of KDE as something failed. Despite all of this, all the KDE apps were installed and Plasma is appearing as an option on the login screen under Gnome and Gnome Classic. Still I couldn't launch KDE plasma and nothing was happening after typing my login.
I took it as a sign that KDE isn't for me, especially because I'm 99% happy with Gnome.
So I removed KDE via the terminal and the remaining apps via the software center. Sadly, there is one app called "Centre de bienvenue" or "Welcome center" from KDE that I can't remove. Nothing is happening when I try removing it.
I tried removing it via the terminal, but when I type "dnf list installed" I can't find it as there are too many packages. Could anyone help me?
I also tried « dnf list installed » with the words « welcome », « bienvenue », « kde » and « plasma ».
Hi everyone,
Having successfully left windows for Linux (Fedora) a few years ago, I thought I’d the same for my phone.
I have a professional iPhone 13 provided by my employer, but I have an old Samsung GT-I8730 lying around.
Sadly, there is apparently nothing (except stock Android) that I could easily install on it.
So I’m kind of looking for a cheap second hand phone that I could get for my birthday in order to try to have a degoogled and deappleified private phone (I’m now using my work iPhone for everything).
What phone should I buy for max 150.- (around 180$) second hand?
Also what OS should I try to install on it?
To be honest, I’m really a rookie in the phone world and I’m not even sure if I’m looking for a degoogled Android phone (/e/os, lineage, graphene) or a linux phone (Ubuntu touch, KDE mobile).
It would be important for me to be able to daily drive the phone. Listening to music and using my banking apps on it would be important features.
So I’m looking for advice regarding all of this and I’m thankful in advance for your help.

Hi everyone!
I have to use an iPhone for work but I have an old Samsung GT-I8730 lying around.
It’s a really old phone but it seems to work well on its base Android OS, so I would want to experiment a bit with it.
I have experience with Linux distributions on my computers, but I’ve never installed an alternative OS. That’s why I’m looking for advices on what I could install on such an old piece of hardware.
I’ve always been interested in /e/os as I think it would still allow me to use my (swiss) banking apps, but I’d be interested in any distribution which might also make it possible.
If no OS would make such a thing possible, I would just want to know what I could install on this device to experience a bit.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hey everyone!
One of my controllers is really starting to have some stickdrift on the left joystick.
I’ve tried that solution and it seems to temporarily work: https://youtu.be/cU26TxHOkSU?si=ZBj_lerD0m1jomch
If it keeps coming back, I might try this solution which involves opening the controller : https://fr.ifixit.com/Tutoriel/Comment+r%C3%A9parer+une+manette+PlayStation+Dualsense+V1+qui+drifte/168202
Apparently, both of these solutions can’t be considered as long term fixes and I was wondering if someone managed to find a long term solution.
I would hate buying a new controller as I love repairing stuff, but I’d be interested to know if there is a more reliable/repairable controller with all the Dual Sense functionalities out there.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Edit: I’ve opened my controller and cleaned the potentiometer with alcohol and it didn’t work. I’m gonna try again tomorrow and take more time to examine the potential causes.
I had been waiting for a really long time for that video by the Linux Experiment (really good Linux youtuber) which is also available there: https://tilvids.com/w/bLPmGvqHd69ANdPdhRZXWV .
Sadly, as I'm on Fedora, there are a few differences from Ubuntu (DNF instead of APT) and I can't use the PPA from the github links ( https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickgui/releases?page=1 , https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu?tab=readme-ov-file ).
I'm sure it's easy once you get to the beginning of the video but since I can't install quickgui and I'm stuck.
It would be really nice if I could get some help as I'm sure it's fairly easy for someone more knowleadgable than me.
I should just add that I don't even really know what DNF, APT and PPA are. I just know it's related to my problem.
Edit: Basically I’m stuck at the part where you have to use the terminal to install quickgui with these lines
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannick-mauray/quickgui sudo apt update sudo apt install quickgui
Hey everyone!
As described in the title, I have a Surface Go 1 happily running Fedora 39. The only downsides are that the cameras aren't working and that my mouse (Modern Mobile from Microsoft) sometimes doesn't connect or disconnects.
I don't really care about the cameras, as I can use my phone for anything requiring it, but I get really irritated when my Surface Modern mouse doesn't connect for a 30 seconds when I launch the OS and then connects after moving it a few times unsuccesfuly. Also, sometime without any reason or sometimes after 5 minutes of inactivity, it disconnects.
I've used the same mouse on my wife's MacBook Pro running Fedora and I don't remember having these problems.
I was looking at installing the Surface Kernel but I'm not so experienced I would be scared to damage my installation. I have a Clonezilla backup just in case but I'd want to avoid the useless hassle.
Has anyone experienced that issue and do you think the Surface Kernel could help?
Hey everyone!
Sadly, I’m forced to have an iPhone because of work. It’s a good device but I hate the philosophy behind it.
Right now I have a windows 10 vm to run iTunes and backup that phone.
It takes around 30gb on my Surface Go 1 with a 128gb ssd.
If I could use bottles or wine to backup my iPhone, it would save me some space and help me fully get rid of windows.
Sadly, last time I tried none of these worked. I think I managed to install iTunes, but then it crashed and sent me some weird messages.
So has anyone managed to backup an iPhone with these programs?
Hi everyone,
I’m really happy to be successfully using Clonezilla which is a great tool (but not easy without a tutorial) to create backups of my Fedora and Lubuntu installations on my 3 computers.
However I have a problem while cloning my 2012 MacBook Pro.
Clonezilla create individual files which are bigger than the 50 gb limit my kDrive (swiss equivalent to Google drive) allows me to have.
With my Surface Go 1 the individual files are way smaller although the overall size of the backup is approximately the same.
How can I change that so that I can put my backups on the cloud?
Hi everyone!
I'm a happy Gnome user on Fedora 38 on my Surface Go 1. Still, as I'm not an experienced Linux user, I'd want to discover some other distros and some other DE like KDE.
I'm planning on installing a distro with KDE on Gnome Boxes, but I wanted to know if there was a way to export it and make it a real OS (no VM) at one point.
To get to the point where I had my perfect workstation installation, it took me quite some time and I wouldn't want to waste my time creating my perfect VM and not make it real at one point.
I don't know if it could be done by cloning my virtual disk with Clonezilla for instance.
I'm sorry if my question ain't clear, it's just that I may not have the right vocabulary to talk about such things.
Hi everyone,
I have a Surface Go 1 with 128 gb hooked up to a usb-c screen.
I’ve installed Fedora 38 on it and I’m really happy with the whole setup. So much so that I wanted to be able to reproduce it on all my computers.
The problem is I can’t get the machine to boot from a Usb-a with usb-c adaptor or from a usb-c stick.
I’ve tried everything. I can access the uefi settings and disable secure boot and change the boot order. At first I thought it was because I was using an usb-c adapter but buying a usc-c stick didn’t change a thing.
In the past the only way I was able to boot from usb was to break my system, install windows again and go to windows recovery. I don’t want to do that again as I would want to clone my system.
For now, I’ve resorted to cloning my girlfriend’s 2012 MacBook Pro with Fedora on it, but since it’s not my daily driver, it’s not where I’m creating my perfect setup.
If anyone can help me, I’d be really grateful.
Hi everyone,
I’ve just used Clonezilla for the first time to clone a 500gb ssd with only 83gb being used.
Since only 83gb were used, could I clone that system on a computer with only 128gb? Or does it need to have at least 500gb of space even if most of it wasn’t used on my original system?
Clonezilla seems really practical but isn’t so accessible and I haven’t found an answer to that question online 😇
I’m using Fedora 38 but I don’t think it really matters.
Hi everyone,
I’m a happy Fedora 38 user on my Surface Go 1.
In fact I’m so happy with it that I just wanted to clone the whole thing with Clonezilla and put it on my girlfriend’s MacBook Pro which has reached end of life support for MacOs.
Sadly on the Surface Go it’s almost impossible to boot from an USB drive (had to rely on windows recovery to do it the first time, might be usb-a to usb-c adaptor related) and I’ll really have to do a clean install on her Mac.
For such situations, I find it crazy that you don’t have an effective graphic tool to fo an easy backup. Especially because Fedora is so great for everything else.
You could say, use Timeshift, but it would mean doing some alterations I’m not at ease with as I don’t want to end up destroying the system I’m trying to backup and clone.
Does anyone know if it’s on the developers roadmap?
Hi everyone,
My girlfriend has a 2012 MacBook Pro and she can’t macOS updates anymore because it’s Applecrap.
So I’ll dualboot Fedora and MacOS. We’ll keep macOS just for a few exceptions like iPhone backup.
I already have a Fedora installation on my Surface Go 1 and I took a lot of time setting it up perfectly. Is there any way to « clone » that installation on the MacBook so that I don’t have to go through everything again?
Hi everyone,
My girlfriend has MacBook Pro from 2012 which has already been upgraded with more Ram and an SSD.
From what I understand, her OS (Catalina) has reached end of life in 2022 and doesn’t get any support from Apple anymore.
As that machine works perfectly, what should she do?
I hate Apple products (even if it’s painful for me to say that they’re good) and I’m a Linux enthusiast, so I’d tell her to install Fedora Asahi, but I wanted to know if the Apple enthusiast crowd had a better idea.
My girlfriend isn’t geeky at all (despite her geeky glasses) and she would want to stay in the safe environment provided by an Apple OS. But we also don’t want to replace that powerful machine as we hate programmed obsoletism.
