Remember when Prime meant same-day shipping? Now it just means somewhat better terms than the stingy rabble.
I’m also on Mastodon

When I was vaping I had to replace the coils every few weeks and cleaned out the mouthpiece, liquid container and stuff in an ultrasound. Also, I mixed flavor liquid with the nicotine liquid and had to watch out for the right mixing ratios. I’d say that’s all a bit involved and a bit much for those that just want a hit of nicotine.
All utilities, phone, electricity, sewage, road and rail.
But actually looking at these, pretty much all protocols and standards are already open.
Thanks so much for this post! Ventoy is really the tool I never knew I really needed. Up to now, I have been reflashing and juggling sticks with various ISOs.
But even better, now I could finally update the BIOS on my Framework 13!
Which CPU are you using? I’ve got the 11th gen i5 and battery life is just miserable, especially in standby.
Back in the 90s when I was in uni, it was the only way to have a unix-like development environment for C/C++. I also spent an inordinate amount of time testing linux on exotic hardware, like 386 laptops or older Macs. There were hardly any distros back then, but I tried them all: Debian, Red Hat, Mandrake, SuSE, m86kLinux and even (shudder) Slackware.
It was (and still is) an extremely fun way to tinker around. But I have to say, I’m not complaining that pretty much everything works out of the box nowadays!
Most people want to stick to Windows or MacOS, and that’s fine for them if they want to put up with it. Pushing Linux or OSS in general is counter productive IMO and just puts people on the defensive. I’d rather plant a seed here and there. If someone complains about Windows on a kid’s laptop, then hey, I got an old laptop for my daughter and put Fedora on it. It was easy to install and maintain, unobstrusive and she can get everything done for school she needs. Or talking about gaming - you know the Steam Deck? You can game without Windows - it’s a painless, drop-in replacement!
It pains my that a lot of Linux users were pushy elitist neckbeards that spent so much energy defending their distro of choice and Linux in general. The community tends to make Linux appear like some difficult, arcane way of using a computer. “First you must pass the initiation rite and choose the correct distro!” Seriously, just fuck that mindset. Just download whatever, install it and enjoy hassle-free computing!
Whoah, was he always that bloated?
I’d just recommend Fedora.
I use Fedora BTW.
I’ve been paying for wallabag for years but am slowly getting frustrated with the lack of updates to the UI. The Android app hasn’t been updated in ages, and the web UI is clunky and misses features. You can’t even change the font, for example. Omnivore wins there on all counts.
OTOH, Omnivore can’t properly handle multi-page articles.
Cleaning up old kernel versions and accidentally deleted them all. I would’ve thought the distro would prevent my stupidity, but hey, no kernel? You’ll manage!
I’m using AdGuard, which is pretty similar. I had issues with my Sonos speakers. The devices couldn’t find the speakers until I set a few servers on the whitelist.
Apart from that, all’s good.
You might want to put down that bong.
I had so many arguments with my team lead. He thought comments were an antipattern because that meant the code wasn’t expressive enough.
I understood where he was coming from, but a little hint here and there why the fuck the code is doing what it’s doing would’ve been nice.
Are you me? I got a chance for a gig as enterprise architect and most of the time I have no idea what I’m doing.
Enter the Void is the most breathless barrage on the senses I have ever wittnessed. The intro could give you epilepsy. The whole film is shot from the ego perspective of the protagonist that gets shot dead 15 minutes into the film. I have never seen anything remotely similar.
I’ve been telling people for years what a wonderful film Tampopo is. But when I explain the plot I just get shrugs and whatevers.
I think it’s crazy that they want to write invoices based on estimations. Why didn’t I ever do that? “Oh yeah, I estimate that I worked about um… 2 weeks on that feature.”
Humans can smell rain better than a shark can smell blood.
I’ve been using UBlock for years and was surprised that out of the box, AdGuard had a much better score!
I thoroughly recommend the book “The Chinese Typewriter”. It goes through the various challenges that the Chinese language pose. How do you order characters, like in an alphabet? How it was encoded in Morse, or later on, in ASCII. And of course, the various attempts at Chinese typewriting. Actually quite fascinating!
