codegrepper.com and all its shitty clones.

All they do is scrape websites like stack overflow and github issues and present them in a more shitty way, and they somehow manage to get ranked pretty high.

I think in theory yes, since the .ml tld is now managed by the Mali government instead of some guy that had an agreement with them.

Huh, I always thought su stands for super user, but apparently it actually stands for substitute user (according to the manpage)

Or, even worse, A start job is running for ... (10s / no limit)

I'm on a Pixel 6 pro with Android 13 and have tried both Lawnchair and Smart launcher, I personally haven't had any issues with gesture navigation on either.

You mean something like Sponsorblock?

It doesn't just skip sponsors, it can skip subscription reminders, as well as a bunch of other stuff.

Tbf npp has much more functionality than regular notepad.

Just the syntax highlighting alone probably dramatically lowers the amount of text it can render.

You don't need to root the stock ROM to install a custom one, you just need an unlocked bootloader

It would be like saying that if 99% of Linux users used RedHat.

AOSP is open source sure, but realistically basically everyone is using a closed source version that the OEM has messed with.

I used to host my own mail server. Getting it up and running with iredmail wasn't too difficult, but maintaining all of the different components and setting up spam filters and autodiscover and stuff like that is an absolute nightmare.

I just use proton mail. I can point my dns to them, and they do everything else for me.

Only downside is that they don't expose pop3 or imap, so you have to either use their app, or set up their bridge and host that locally.

  • download Firefox
  • install Ublock Origin

Neither of those will help with notifications. Firefox also supports web push, as they should since it is in the spec.

Pretty sure a cookie like that would fall under strictly necessary, so you're still allowed to save it without consent.

Your answer is much shorter and to the point, but for the people that understand things better with visuals, here's a Veritasium video about this exact thing

That's something else. That just means that whatever app you used to open and install the apk doesn't have the permission to do so yet.

Hadn't heard of bottles before. Is it any different than Lutris?

Actually seems like in this case the global "allow unknown sources" setting is still disabled on your phone, not the app's permission. But you will see this dialogue if the app you're installing from doesn't have permission as well.

At that point isn't it just as quick to search through your history?

I actually kind of like that about him, usually (I'm not gonna watch an hour long video about electric car chargers ffs).

To me, it makes the videos seem a bit less scripted and more like just a guy talking about things he's passionate about.

Any Chvrches song where one of the other members is singing (not sure who it is).

I think there's at least one on every album they've made, and it's always an immediate skip for me.

Also, KDE Neon only has versions built on the latest Ubuntu LTS, which (I think) only gets a distro upgrade every 2 years. So you're missing out on all of the interim releases.

Besides his educational content, he also has some pretty good (still somewhat educational) game show type series, like Citation Needed and Two Of These People Are Lying (links to the playlists).

As a user As a developer, if I want a page to open in a new tab, I press the middle mouse button.

Ftfy

Most regular users I've seen use the internet don't even know middle-click or ctrl+click opens in a new tab, or any other useful shortcuts for that matter.

Was that a big thing on Reddit? I don't feel like I've seen those kinds of posts at least.

Guess I somehow managed to avoid them despite all the gaming-related subreddits I followed.

By default whatsapp makes unencrypted backups. You can enable encrypted backups, but then of course if you lose the password you can't restore the backup.

I mean it's mostly an unusual sight in parts of Europe because they don't need AC's, they need heating instead.

Most parts of Europe (that I've been to) where it gets hot have AC.

fyi, long-pressing the period key on Gboard gives you some more symbols to choose from, including /.

also includes some symbols that are already behind other keys which is kinda weird.

I have upgraded from driver 525 to 535 on 3 different systems (work PC/laptop and personal PC). Every single time the screen would go black and I had to force reboot.

This is absolutely accurate, at least for some people I guess.

I don't think nvidia drivers update automatically on ubuntu, right? Pretty sure I've had to manually switch to new drivers every time

Wait isn't imperial the one with asinine fractions?

Like wtf is a 64th of an inch? Or a thousandth (is that how you spell that?)

With smart launcher it disappears into the center. I think you can fix this for lawnchair by using the quickswitch magisk module, but that requires root.

Which is why (iirc) DuckDuckGo uses bing as the actual search engine.

Edit: misread your comment, thought it said bing (as in the search) is honestly really good

Which imo it is, once you strip out all the other bullshit like DuckDuckGo does

Unfortunately there are still at least some Intel CPU's that don't wake from sleep on Ubuntu.

And of course my work laptop just happens to have one of those

Yes, in settings->site permisisons, you can change notifications from ask to allow to block.

Yeah my pixel 6 pro has adaptive charging, which just means it'll charge at a slow speed so it's full just before my alarm goes off.

SteamOS is a Debian derivative, and has existed long before the steam Deck was a thing.

Nvm looks like they switched to Arch for v3.
