I had an old bike that would do this, and even sometimes find the false neutrals between the other gears. Depending on how bad the issue it, the problem is somewhere between just needing to put a bit more force into it to needing to rebuild the transmission. Its hard to say without knowing what bike, how old and measuring the force needed to shift.

Technology@programming.dev•Humans keep building robots that are shaped like us – what’s the point?English
18·9 months agoFor a general purpose robot meant to operate in human designed spaces, a dog sized centaur has a few big advantages over bipedalism. Four legs means more stability and much less to no energy use while standing still. It could still climb stairs and deal with complex terrain that would stymie a wheeled vehicle, but still have a small enough footprint to navigate human sized spaces.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why is open source software assumed to be secure?
15·9 months agoOtherwise, you need to be some kind of freaking retro-engineering expert.
And as it turns out, there is a ton of financial motivation for less than ethical people to develop those skills and use them to hack proprietary software. And there is some, but less, financial motivation for ethical people to do the same.

60·9 months agoWoah! A use of HTTP status code 451 in the wild!
Oh! Came up with a new one, though it’s more of a unixism than a Linux specific thing.
I really wish that the core utils and other cli tools had a standard structured output option, like yaml, json, or toml so that it would be easier to parse rather than all of the random regular expressions needed when piping output around.
Edit: And it would be great if we also picked that same format for config files instead of all the bespoke stuff in /etc.

7·10 months agoThis looks amazing, but what is the context or an explanation?
Back in the day I had my entire phone setup with a custom Metroid 2 sound theme that I put together from MIDIs, plus custom ringtones for my dozen or so most frequent contacts. I remember using Power Puff Girls for my wife, TMNT for her boyfriend, Sailor Moon for my girlfriend, and Little Honda for my dad.
Nowadays it’s on silent all the time so I don’t bother. :(
Honestly, not much.
The first would be that the webcam in my work laptop goes in and out of working pretty regularly. It happens to the whole team so I know it’s not just mine. I end up using an external one pretty regularly. Mostly I’m annoyed at Dell for not providing proper driver support.
The second is that there are a very small number of applications that I occasionally use where I need to fire up a VM. But even that is more of I’m annoyed at the organization that forces me to use an obsolete proprietary file format once a quarter.

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks?English
1·10 months agoThanks for the links! Unfortunately the songs from Bioshock Infinite that I’m thinking of aren’t in the OST due to licensing issues as they are mostly covers of songs still in copyright.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Surveillance-Minded Parents Can Now Hide AirTags In Kids ShoesEnglish
41·10 months agoI’m not concerned with tracking where my kids are with these, but tracking their shoes sounds kinda useful. Average daily conversation in my house:
"Where are you shoes?" "I don't know?" "You were just in the middle of putting them on!?!!" "Yeah but... I can't find them now." "How? You had them in your hands?!?" "That was, um, before I got distracted." "*sigh* Let's go try and find them."

Honestly, between Lutris and Steam it’s now pretty easy to run most things from windows in Linux. There are some exceptions, such as Office, but the majority of my Steam library runs great. It’s come a long way, even in the last year. The frontends really simplify things.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are there any AI services that don't work on stolen data?
11·10 months agoExactly this. There are plenty of ML/AI systems that build on public datasets, such as AlexNet for image recognition and even some LLMs that are trained on out of copyright documents such as the Project Gutenberg collection. But they almost certainly aren’t what you are looking for.
