There are people who have disabilities that prevent or make it hard to drink without a straw, for example, they have shaky hands and would spill their drink otherwise.

Actually, PulseEffects has been renamed into EasyEffects and is PipeWire only now

Ventoy is a godsend in that case. If you have a big enough USB stick, you can just put all distros you wanna try on it

No, I think they meant that you get better resource usage when you install an app as a Flatpak instead of a system package. You get the same benefit in a traditional distro too, if you use Flatpaks, it's just that immutable distros kind of force you to use them.

A pop-up with a message "This website uses cookies to function. The compliance people asked us to tell you."

Really? How am I supposed to trust these guys with my data, when they show me a pop-up like that? I guess that this data is anonymous only because otherwise the telemetry would need to be opt-out… oh wait, they explicitly said that:

That said, Fedora Legal has determined that if we collect any personally-identifiable data, the entire metrics system must be opt-in. Since we are only interested in opt-out metrics due to the low value of opt-in metrics, we must accordingly never collect any personally-identifiable data.

I didn't see it until I read your comment

Simple Calendar Pro is pretty awesome

Even when you don't know the language, you can judge if something is an ad just by an overly excited tone of voice. I wonder if someone has tried writing an ad detection algorithm already. It would still be a lot heavier on resources than SponsorBlock.

I registered during very early days, so I signed up for the instance run by devs because there wasn't much choice. Today I would choose a smaller one

They are writing a search engine from scratch

They are using Google and a few other engines, but unlike Searx, they are using the official API instead of scraping, which is a big part of costs

Not everyone has fast and reliable internet connection

I thought for a minute that Linux now panics when trying to play DRM'd content

If it is free as in beer, but not as in freedom, and is developed by a company, then what is their business model?

LaTeX and ConTeXt are both macros for TeX. LyX is a graphical editor which outputs LaTeX.

Mine has a little crooked eyes and a wrinkled finish at the bottom, but at least he looks like no other :).

BTW did we use the same pattern?

  • Fish. Much, much saner defaults.
  • I am writing #!/usr/bin/env sh for dead simple scripts, so they will be a tiny bit more portable and run a tiny bit faster. The lack of arrays causes too much pain in longer scripts. I would love to use Fish, but it lacks a strict mode.
  • No, why would I?
  • I used to share all my dotfiles, scripts included, but I was too afraid that I would publish some secrets someday, so I stopped doing that. For synchronizing commands, aliases and other stuff between computers I use Chezmoi.
  • To use Fish instead of fighting with start up time of Zsh with hundreds of plugins
  • Always use the so-called "strict mode" in Bash, that is, the set -euo pipefail line. It will make Bash error on non-zero exit code, undefined variables and non-zero exit codes in commands in pipe. Also, always use shellcheck. It's extremely easy to make a mistake in Bash. If you want to check the single command exit code manually, just wrap it in set +e and set -e.
  • Consider writing your scripts in Python. Like Bash, it also has some warts, but is multiplatform and easy to read. I have a snippet which contains some boilerplate like a main function definition with ArgumentParser instantiated. Then at the end of the script the main function is called wrapped in try … except KeyboardInterrupt: exit(130) which should be a default behavior.
  • Absolutely not a bad practice. If you need to use them on a remote server and can't remember what they stand for, you can always execute type some_command. Oh, and read about abbreviations in Fish. It always expands the abbreviation, so you see what you execute.

I much prefer wireless headphones, because I keep breaking every plug. I even tried soldering them, but that ended in a catastrophe lol. That being said, I recently lost my wireless pair and had to pick my old K450. Now I'm grateful that I picked a phone with a headphone jack. I wasn't even checking if it has one while buying.

I am using the Xbox One controller. I had to pair it with Windows once to fix a connection problem, but now it's problem-free. I'm pretty sure that the problem and solution was described on Arch Wiki but I can't find it now. Basically it was stuck on disconnecting and connecting again until Windows didn't update its firmware

Recently, I often misread words or even add ones that are not there. Long, complex sentences are very difficult to understand for me. I feel like primary school me would ridicule modern me.

Does it work on Wayland?

I don't have the "Used space" column, probably because I have quota disabled. I managed to find out using btdu, that the snapshot 1137 takes ~8.3 GiB.

I cannot delete it using that command, because it is marked with "+" which means it is the "btrfs default subvolume", according to snapper manual. I wonder if there is still a way to get rid of it.

It supports Typst now? But it is basically a programming language

Sans: Cantarell
Serif: Linux Libertine
Monospace: JetBrains Mono and Fira Code

Yes, it was my first time doing something like this :D

XFCE on my work machine, GNOME on PC and KDE on my notebook. I wish DEs would play together better, so I could DE hop on one machine, but one can dream

I switched to Tidal after Spotify suddenly killed the API libspotify was using.

It takes a while for Tidal to "learn" what kind of music I like. I think Spotify got it sooner. Now the recommendations are pretty good.

I hate that they copied the weird queue management from Spotify. What can't I just tell the player to play another album after the one that is currently playing finishes? It surprises me it is not a more common compliant.

The current Marshal of the Sejm is a showman. He was a host of the Polish version of Got Talent. He often says funny retorts and is less uptight than other Marshals. Some even call the live stream “Sejmflix” now.

But also members of the previous ruling party, PiS, are like… super stupid. I don't know if populist parties are like that everywhere, but PiS politicians often say things so ridiculous, that they are just funny. Well, they weren't so funny, when they had a majority.

Well, I wouldn't really say that it's used as a Windows replacement at the company I'm working at, because all the business stuff is still being done using Windows, but almost all developers are using Linux. I was even allowed to replace Ubuntu with Arch, because I was annoyed by outdated packages. Because of the higher freedom, I can even tolerate the slightly smaller pay rate and benefits that I could earn elsewhere.

We are mostly working on EDA tooling.

That explains it, thanks

Why not just install NVidia drivers using your package manager?

I don't know about its derivatives, but Mandriva had something similar.

Good bot

I've been only using it with Nextcloud

My Galaxy S8 had a lot of annoying problems both on stock ROM and Lineage OS. After three years I switched to Zenfone 8 and so far I am satisfied. The battery life is crap though, especially after updating to Android 13. I'm considering a downgrade if it's even possible

Meanwhile, I'm still not able to achieve smooth, tear-free gameplay on No Man's Sky on Wayland. Both on GNOME and KDE 🫤

I was surprised when I learned that some people want their tearing back 😆

More like Interface

Don't use the NVIDIA installer, as it conflicts with the package manager. Use the nvidia-kernel-dkms package from the official Debian repository
