Do SVGs in HTML need alt text? If so, where do I shove it in the mess of code?
Thinking about moving from Gmail to Tuta Mail.
Any advice, experience, or other suggestions, please?
Thank you.
I'm not sure how to get my links verified or how to get the checkmarks beside my links in my self-hosted GoToSocial app. In Mastodon, I had verified, but I don't know how to do it in GoToSocial.
#techhelp ive noticed that my web browsers arent using all my available RAM, wasting a lot of the resources i paid for. does anyone know how to fix this?
Has anyone else had issues with Google Messages and the RCS not sending messages. I keep getting a "Message delivers when [contact] is online...." Or I can manually switch to SMS or send via SMS when it fails (despite being set to supposedly switch between the two which it doesn't do)?
It seems to be only one contact that I know of (my dad). Both of us have #android #motorolaphones both of which are 2023 Razr+.
Has anyone got experience with Intel Optane memory?
The hard drive on my HP laptop is a regular SSD with a smaller Intel Optane drive integrated into it. The Optane is where the OS (Windows 10) is installed and is used to quickly retrieve files from the SSD and so forth.
The Optane drive recently malfunctioned and became unreadable. The SSD portion (where all my files are stored) seems to be intact—at least, it's reading error free when I run a disk check. But with the optane malfunctioning, when I turn on the computer it tells me there is no operating system installed, so I have no way to access the "good" part of the harddrive.
From what I've read online, the only way to get the computer working again is to switch off Intel Optane and install a new operating system directly onto the SSD. But if I do this, the entire hard drive gets formatted, and I lose all of my files.
I'm not good with this stuff. Is there any way to recover my files? Unfortunately my backup system failed too and I've lost 6 months of art and academic work
if anyone has done this and gotten it to work in docker compose and has any tips, it would be really appreciated. home-assistant-matter-hub just keeps hanging on creating the bridge and telling me to please wait
How do I stop this b*st*rd message?
I am using Windows 11. I do not login with a #Microsoft account. I use #LibreOffice but have various leftover bits of Microsoft Office which was installed when I got the computer.
I have tried to disable Copilot. I have no Microsoft stuff running at start-up apart from Defender.
I'm getting well p*ssed off with this.
Am I looking for a unicorn? I remember blogging days and it seemed building a website was easier. I want to make a simple site using a template or some basic widgets and connect it to a domain I own. Without any monthly subscriptions or fancy plans. Just a simple, static site. A Luddite/low tech site that doesn't require knowing how to code #tech #webdesign #askfedi #techhelp
Our TV, a 25+ years old Toshiba, has now got a bad screen.
I think someone here once mentioned not buying a TV, but buying a display screen to avoid all the AI smart TV internet connected stuff that we don't need.
What would we look for to get one?
Only looking for something that is only about 26" to 30" (660mm to 760mm) diagonal in screen size.
Edit: Recommendations would be nice, but not Amazon links, please.
Thank you.
