I don’t think the pen input sensitivity/features on it is suitable for pro-level artists, but I might be wrong.

I mean, it is some carbrain propaganda that aligned with the government-approved destruction of walkable cities and public transit. Soo it is kind to a hymn to enshittification in its own way.

I can’t remember the site, now, but I literally couldn’t log into one this week because the email never arrived.

Well, email allows you to solve that issue by self-hosting. But what you can’t solve is that if you do self-host, gmail will drop your emails to spam or just discard them completely, just because it feels like it, even if you do the whole dance with DMARC and have used the domain for a good few years. It’s frustrating as shit.

By that logic it should be “peanut butter substitute” as well

TikTok got its hold mainly by being extremely addictive and using predatory dark patterns to keep you scrolling. That and being less censored compared to other corporate social media. While we can try to strive for the latter (with reasonable limitations), we shall not do the former, even if that means less users overall. “Avoid success at all costs”.

I think the meme is a cliche of “haha you are in a relationship so your partner takes up all your time and you don’t have any time for your hobbies”. Which sounds like a pretty toxic relationship tbh

I made a really cozy and usability-focused setup like 10 years ago, and since I made it with NixOS+home-manager I’m just carrying it over with me. It is going strong after three device swaps, two moves to a new country, and meeting a partner, with some minor changes (i3 -> sway, Nord theme -> custom base16-based, pulseaudio -> pipewire, etc)

Apps on a modern Linux system are supposed to follow this spec. Not following it is considered a bug, same as if apps used any other spec-defined filesystem directory incorrectly (e.g. imagine putting config files in /lib or something).

BTW by default neither of these other people will get notified by your comment.

I really hope “morging continvoucly” becomes a meme and is used to mock microsoft forever

It still works without proxy for my family (as of earlier today), except for calls. I don’t know if this is telegram doing some block evasion or the block hasn’t kicked in fully yet.

In any case, unless they ban like 80% of outside internet, there will still be a few obfuscated VPN servers & tor bridges working. Everyone who knows their stuff will be able to access the outside, same as in China.

They tried (and failed) before the war too. Telegram has no privacy, poor security, but they are really good at evading blocks.

What the fuck, how is this the first time I’m hearing about this… I was thinking of deleting my account (with no phone or ID tied to it), I guess I’m keeping it for now.

To expand on the other comment, Luddites were not necessarily against technological progress. Rather they used destruction of certain types of machinery as a political tool: to temporarily extend their power as skilled laborers, and to intimidate the factory owners into recognizing their unions or getting certain laws passed.

you will get errors on your errors.

Python3: hold my beer

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

They’re writing a new package manager/build system and bootloader. So I guess mostly NIH, which is totally fine by me.

Ah, it’s not the best for cases like that, especially if you need to make different layouts all the time. You can get it to do anything with enough packages and positioning hints, but at some point it becomes too much of a chore. If you just need a dozen of layouts and then fill them out with different content, it’s doable.

I haven’t seen any WYSIWYG document editors that are any good. Markdown/Org for simpler stuff, L^AT_EX for more complicated stuff, or mix them together with pandoc.

That’s true, for me the main issue with any automation under capitalism is that it brings yet more power to the corpos and the billionaires and takes away power from the labor.

In this particular case it also sucks because the end product of genAI is soulless slop, and video genAI is quite a power hog. I agree that it’s ok for assisting developers/writers/artists/video editors in boring repetitive tasks.

I think LLMs are neat and useful tools in some circumstances. So I don’t hate “AI”, I hate the billionaires who are pushing it down our throats, or trying to replace us.

It’s not just about the temperature, it’s also about how quickly the temperature is dropping. Usually when the temperature goes down, trees do some “clever” shit with the sap inside them, specifically so that there’s less moisture in them and when it freezes and expands the tree doesn’t crack. However if it drops too quickly the trees can’t do their magic quickly enough, too much water freezes, puts too much stress on the tree and it may crack.
