@#53919 It's not just the first paragraphs; the whole question appears to be identical, including imgur image IDs and link targets. (more) |

The preference name and the quote from the documentation already spell this out, but I think it's worth actually highlighting that *this only affects copying from the location bar*. It does not, for example, seem to have any effect on the right-click context menu "Copy Link" function's behavior; thos... (more) |

A: Camera USB device in file explorer - why so slow? I suspect that the camera is presenting itself as a USB PTP or MTP device. The fact that it is identified as a camera and not as a storage device certainly points in this direction. A quick check of the user's guide available online for the EOS 2000D did not reveal any obvious way to turn MTP supp... (more) |

A: Is a local Apache a local web server? Well, it really depends on what you mean by a "web" server. If you mean a piece of software that implements the protocols typically used for (the server aspects of) web browsing, such as HTTP, TLS, OCSP, and so on, then what's important is what the software does, not whether or not it is accessibl...

If I replace the motherboard but leave everything else (CPU, RAM, storage, OS installation, ...) untouched, is that the same "computing system" or a different one?
Similarly, if I boot the exact same computer into first one, then another (different) read-only live OS, does that constitute one or t... (more) |

An IP address is not a unique identifier; aside from the traditional private assignment ranges (RFC 1918; 10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/16), there are both multicast (224/4 IIRC) and other ranges that are not globally routable or globally unique (e.g. 100.64/10 for CGNAT), even if you assume Internet conn...

A: How can I get my browser to block a specific SVG (Discord server icon)? You don't show enough of the document structure in the question to provide a fully fleshed-out example, but since it appears that you're now able to block based on CSS selectors and simply need help figuring out what CSS selector you should use... CSS supports both attribute substring matching and... (more) |

A: How would you feel about a merger with Linux Systems? I'm posting the same answer on both sites, because the questions are basically the same. Personally, I am in favor of merging Linux Systems Codidact and Power Users Codidact, ideally by transferring the content from Linux Systems to Power Users. The scope of Linux Systems is pretty close to a s... (more) |

Clearly, WhatsApp (er Facebook, er Meta) feel that having a requirement for a phone number to sign up for the service does not "lose or let down" a sufficient number of users for the loss to bother them enough to change how the service works.
As for customer versus user, WhatsApp is free of cost, ... (more) |

What should our take be on software recommendation questions? Questions that specifically seek software recommendations (as opposed to asking how to accomplish a specified task) come with their own challenges that are to some extent different from those of other questions. The scope of the site, as it stands, is: > Power Users is a community where compute... (more) |

Looking back at this; did the update by any chance also cause you to get a newer version of Datenstrom Yellow? If so, have you tried to download the version that you were using previously, and have you had any luck running it? (Not saying you shouldn't try to use the most recent version available, as...

@#8046 It's `/usr/bin/lsb_release` on Debian 11 (bullseye, current stable), which should be in any sane default `$PATH`. I don't have any RHEL or CentOS system to check on, but you can always try `/usr/sbin/lsb_release` and `/sbin/lsb_release` as well, just to see if they work any better. `lsb_releas... (more) |

A: Moved to a new OS version, didn't change project source, and now Datenstrom Yellow project won't build -- how do I debug this? Based on Datenstrom - Troubleshooting, it looks like to turn on debugging, you need to edit `system/extensions/core.php` such that it says <?php define("DEBUG", 1); (The `<?php` may or may not be on the same line as the `define` directive; that's inconsequential here, but make sure to not i...

The `el7` in the kernel version number indicates some version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 or a derivative. `lsb_release -a` will tell you; `uname -a` tells you the details about the running kernel only. (more) |

The pixel size of the desktop (for want of a better word here) can be larger than the pixel size of the portion that's actually displayed on the physical screen at any one time.

A: Connection closed by remote host in Putty with hosting provider says that the problem is not on their side Fault isolation You need to take some basic steps to isolate where the problem actually lies. So far, it seems that you have tried with: one means of connecting to the Internet (presumably your cell phone carrier's data plan) one ISP (presumably your cell phone carrier) one host (you...

A note on terminology; neither LibreOffice Writer, Microsoft Word or Abiword are *text editors*; they are *word processors*. Examples of text editors are pico/nano, Notepad, Mousepad, Vi/Vim, Emacs. One thing that tends to set a word processor apart from a text editor is the ability to set various ty... (more) |

@#36377 @#53305 `jq` works well as a validator, and that's how I used it here, but it's really a JSON parser and query tool, not a validator as such. Validation comes as a bonus feature because of jq's actual purpose simply because it's much harder to make something work reliably with syntactically i... (more) |

A: Remapping backspace with Karabiner Elements It does look like you have a syntax error in the JSON data. Specifically, you have a comma after the last element of a list on line 11: "from": { "keycode": "deleteorbackspace", parse error: Expected another key-value pair at line 11, column 11 (In the `jq` query syntax, a bare `...
