I give up trying to fix the formatting. I had it right, but then adding the image, fucked everything up again, and now blorp crashes when I try to edit it again.
I guess this will be one of the rare cases when you do have to read the article in order to be informed instead of just the comments.
2025-07-09 **“Sometimes, when one door closes (lack of code signing) in life, another one opens (vulnerability) .”\
The sentence sumarizes well the situation in the previous version, 8.8.2.
There were - and still are - many false-positives reported in the previous version v8.8.2, by the antivirus software due to the absence of Windows code signing certificate.
1. ~~Double-click the certificate, it may tell you it’s invalid, ignore that and click: \*\*“Install Certificate..”~~\*\*~~.~~ 2. ~~In the Certificate Import Wizard, select \*\*“Local Machine”~~**\~\~, then click \~\~**~~Next~~\*\*~~.~~ 3. ~~If prompted by UAC (optional, depending on admin Previleges), click ~~**~~Yes~~**~~.~~ 4. ~~Choose \*\*“Place all certificates in the following store”~~**\~\~, then browse and select \~\~**~~“Trusted Root Certification Authorities”~~**\~\~. Click \~\~**~~Next~~\*\*~~.~~ 5. ~~On the final page of the wizard, click~~ **~~Finish~~** ~~to complete the installation.For detailed instructions, see Notepad++ User Manual.~~ We’re still trying to obtain a certificate issued by conventional Certificate Authorities, for a better user experience. But let’s be honest: it’s probably not happening. Notepad++ isn’t a business - it’s certainly not an enterprise - and apparently, that makes a popular open-source project invisible to their gatekeeping standards. If the “gatekeepers” won’t issue a certificate under the name we deserve - so be it. At least it spares us from wasting time and energy on a frustrting process that demands we [beg for a new certificate every 3 years](https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/v764-released/). The Notepad++ Root Certificate may not carry their approval, but it leads us to freedom. ***Edit (2025-12-03): Starting with v8.8.7, Notepad++ binaries - including the installer - are digitally signed using a legitimate certificate issued by GlobalSign. As a result, Installation of the Notepad++ root certificate is no longer required. We recommend that users who have previously installed the root certificate remove it.***
Please see my above comments.
They are asking chatgpt. If you think that interface is not conversational, let me know how can help you.
I wish Firefox was better integrated into KDE. Whenever I open a link in a different app, Firefox opens the link but stays in the background where it seems like it should come to the foreground.
Out of curiosity, how are Konqueror and Falkon relates to the big three?
Their websites say they use KHTML or KDEWebkit (Konqueror) or QtWebEngine (falkon). Are these downstream adaptations of apple-WebKit?
Judging by the QtWebEngine page, it doesn’t explicitly say it, but I think it is based on chromium.
Konqueror is a bit harder to figure out. Maybe QtWebKit. Is this also Chromium?
When we are talking about LLM chat bots, they have a conversational interface. I am not talking about other types of machine learning. I don’t have time to keep responding.
When people use a conversational tool, they expect it to act human, which it INTENTIONALLY DOES but without the sanity of a real human.
A person would have the agency to ask, " why do you think it’s fake?"
Of course!
I’m curious about the options coming down the pike for people that don’t like flicker. I heard some of you say that you run your LEDs off of DC power somehow. How do you plug in the string of LED lights to DC power?
Electroboom needs a lemmy
Say more about this. I also don’t like flicker
Do not want what?/I’m not sure what you’re talking about?
I was just saying it is fine to browse Lemmy reading comments to find out what a video is about, not that we should have low effort video posts.
Live and let live I say.
This reads like someone who wants to write on linked in but couldn’t even be taken seriously there.
You can bacially replace grok with “clock”, or, even better, “notice.”
That is what Lemmy is for. Sometimes you will take the risk and watch the video and comment, if it interests you more.
Other times you’ll let others do it for you, or skim over it if it interests you less.
That’s how I use Lemmy anyway.
Not mostly about protocol or function, I agree. But if we are to take Wikipedia literally, they had at least some technical differences of opinion vis a vis ActivityPub.
IMO spritely is doing the most interesting work but I don’t understand any of it.
