Recommendations for where to commission short graphic design work? - Lemmy.World
I am wanting to commission someone to make two logo/icon images for personal
use. I have two devices that I have named after some anime mecha, and I am
wanting to have a three or four color SVG icon created (similar to how the head
icons in Super Smash Brothers Ultimare
[https://ssb.wiki.gallery/images/6/6b/CaptainFalconHeadSSBUWebsite.png]) for
each that would allow me to 3D print the icon and stick it on the respective
device. Where would be a good place to go to pay someone for that kind of work?

Is there a European Union equivalent of BLS.gov? - Lemmy.World
Alternately is there a more specific/better targeted community to ask this
question in? I am wanting to research and explore employment and compensation
data for a some job categories in the EU and am wondering if there is an
equivalent website or agency to BLS.gov [http://BLS.gov] in the United States?
Unfortunately I only speak English (if that matters), but I can obviously
translate webpages if needed.
Looking for bank based in the US that would allow me to hold foreign currency in a checking or savings account [US]

Looking for bank based in the US that would allow me to hold foreign currency in a checking or savings account [US] - Lemmy.World
I am a US citizen living in the US (glass it from orbit please) and as the title
implies I am wondering if it is possible to move my checking and savings
account(s) to a bank that would allow that money to be converted and held as
euros. From my research so far it does appear there are some banks that may be
able to facilitate this (HSBC, Citi, Wells Fargo), but I was wondering if anyone
had any experience with doing so? In addition to recommendations or general
thoughts about the bank(s) I should consider looking at I was also curious if: -
Direct deposits in USD were possible and how they were handled in terms of
converting them (does it happen automatically, or is it a manual action)? - Is
it possible to use ACH debiting? For whatever it’s worth in case someone asks or
wants to interject, most of my money is currently in my retirement accounts and
not in my savings, I have an emergency fund and I won’t be doing anything that
might harm it. Regardless of whether what I am asking is dumb or ill advised I
am currently looking for information on how one might implement this if it is
possible at all. Feel free to offer your opinion/take on it if you are also able
to point me to resources on doing this or additional reading on the matter. If
this is just straight up not possible in any capacity (my initial looking seems
to indicate it is possible, but I could be wrong) then feel free to let me know
that as well. If the only feedback that can be provided is to tell me how dumb
it is, or ask why I would want to do this my reasons are my own, and I would
kindly ask it be kept to one’s self, but I obviously can’t stop anyone if they
don’t. Regardless, I very much appreciate your reading this far, and thank
anyone for their replies in advanced.

Looking for recommendations on the most cost effective button only (no joystick) handheld running an Android OS?

Looking for recommendations on the most cost effective button only (no joystick) handheld running an Android OS? - Lemmy.World
I know the title is hyper specific but it gets even worse, lol. Plainly speaking
my “requirements” are as follows: * Android operating system * No joysticks * As
small as possible The importance of the requirements are roughly in order (top
being the most important). The second and third requirement roughly go hand in
hand. The reason being that I want something I can stick in the pocket of a
sports jacket or even somewhat tighter fitting pants and not have to worry about
something catching or getting damaged. The first requirement comes down to a
custom “ROM” that started my desire and search for such a device. Pokémon
Infinite Fusion. For those unaware this custom game isn’t actually a ROM meant
for a legacy game system but has actually been developed to run on a PC.
However, it is possible to play the game on mobile via an app on Android called
JoiPlay. I have played it some on my phone and enjoyed it, but it’s missing that
tactile feel hence this rabbit hole. The device that originally peaked my
interest and started me on this search is the Ayaneo Pocket MICRO, but
unfortunately it has joysticks. The Trimui Brick looks fantastic, especially
with its battery, but as far as I can tell the OS is not Android based. Based on
what I have found in my searching so far if I had to buy something today I would
likely buy the Ayaneo Pocket MICRO or Pocket DMG, and then open them up to
desolder the joysticks, but if I can find an out of the box solution that would
be great. Thanks in advance, and for reading this far even if you don’t have
anything else for me.

I sometimes find it hard to tell at a glance if a post I’m looking at is one I
have clicked on since they are just a slightly lighter grey than posts I haven’t
clicked on. Being able to set it to whatever color I would like would be very
helpful.
What is the "proper" way to view all of the startup programs and services?

What is the "proper" way to view all of the startup programs and services? - Lemmy.World
I know the above question isn’t fully complete and lacks some important
information, I will (hopefully) provide that below, but first I want to explain
where I am coming from with this question a little. I would consider myself a
power user in Windows (maybe even more than that). At one point I was even
studying for my Microsoft Certified System Administrator (MCSA 70-270), worked
in IT dealing with complex virus removal (anyone remember Combofix and Bleeping
Computer?) and generally am comfortable bending anything up to about Windows 10
to my will. I also have some experience programming in .Net, Java, Python, and
Arduino’s version of C++ (FWTW). I have been trying to force myself to use Linux
as my primary for a little while now. I ran Mint as my primary OS for a little
over a year, and have recently switched to Manjaro to try Wayland and “increase
the difficulty level” as it were. The problem that motivated this post is that I
recently installed an application via the AUR by cloning and making the package.
Annoyingly though, the application is configured to run at startup and I don’t
see an obvious setting in the application to turn that behavior off. I know I
can “Google” how to figure out this particular problem, but it seems like a good
opportunity for me to metaphorically learn how to fish rather than being given a
fish by learning the Linux equivalent of what I would do in Windows for this
kind of thing. If I had this issue in Windows I would approach the issue in the
following manner: 1. Depending on flavor of Windows do one of the following and
check the autostart tab * Run MSConfig * Run Task Manager 2. Check the Startup
folder for my User and All Users 3. Pull out the “I’m done messing around tools”
* Hijack This [https://sourceforge.net/projects/hjt/] * Autoruns
[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns] *
WhatsInStartup [https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/what_run_in_startup.html] I
understand, and know the various locations and registry entries the applications
from step 3 are looking at, it’s just usually faster to use them than go digging
into those locations individually. My question therefore is, what is the Linux
equivalent of the methodology I would use when in Windows? Is, or are there,
specific tools for looking at startup programs and services? Is it as simple as
digging into Systemd? Am I approaching this with the completely wrong mindset?
Essentially, what am I ignorant of, and can I that ignorance be rectified using
my existing knowledge as a framing device? Regardless of anything else, I very
much appreciate your taking the time to read all of this and thank you in
advance if you do have the time and knowledge to spare answering this question.
Cheers!

What would be the best Fediverse sub/community/place for questions about probability and statistics? - Lemmy.World
Basically exactly what the title says. In case there isn’t a great place, or
this post ends up getting more visibility than wherever I end up asking I will
explain my approximate competency level and the question below. In terms of
competency I have an engineering background and degree, which means I had a
single class in statistics. Technically I was one class short of a math minor
(Graph Theory) when I graduated. Unlike most engineers and Six Sigma “graduates”
I don’t think this automatically makes me some kind of math/stats wizard. I’m
aware I know just enough that I can unintentionally massage data to fit my bias
(mini rant over). My question is, when looking at a human population and trying
to find the approximate subset of people with certain attributes how are
correlations handled to avoid double counting? For example let’s say I am
looking at a specific city and my data sets are thee most recent census, BLS.gov
[http://BLS.gov], and Pew Research. With the above sources I can pretty easily
estimate something along the lines of The number men in a US city that are: *
Between the ages of 22-44 * Have a STEM degree However, if I then wanted to add
another factor: * Are/Vote liberal I know that is going to interfere with the
original criteria because higher levels of education are correlated with people
being more liberal, thus if I just punched in the percentages from all three
data points the resulting number is likely going to be much smaller than
reality. Is there a term or method I can read up on for how to account for
overlaps/correlations between population subsets? Does this make sense or am I
asking the wrong kind of question? FWIW none of this is related to my job, an
argument, a shit post, a data graphic, or anything else I will ever really make.
It’s just for something specific (not the actually the above example but
something like it using the sources I mentioned) I am personally curious about.
I have also more generally been wondering about how to account for this kind of
overlap for a couple of years now. Regardless, thanks for taking the time to at
least read all this. Cheers!
