Naaaw, my dude! *finger guns*

I watch the Daily Silksong News. Tomorrow, for sure…

VS’s built-in .NET debugger is top tier, though. Especially the ability to edit code while it is running.

I wouldn’t consider it a “hack”, but I’m always baffled by the number of people who don’t use any kind of content blocker on the web, then complain about full-page ads, pop-ups, and autoplay videos. It’s like going to a cheap motel with a lady of the night without bringing condoms.

This video explains it all in 19 words. Democracy relies on intelligent, informed choice. Republican voters typically lack one or both.

Death of hosts not the result of excessive bloodsucking, says literal parasite.

FLACs, Tidal’s downloads and cache, photos from work that I can use as evidence, and a fuckton of memes. My previous phone had 64GB internal and I just about filled it before it died.

Time-based one-time passwords. It’s been used for years for multi-factor authentication.

It’s the Rankine. Some Scottish dude wanted to use Kelvin without using Kelvin. It’s basically the Fahrenheit scale but with 0˚R set at absolute zero.

0˚R = 0K and 1˚R = 0K + 1˚F

F-droid exists as an alternative. Manually installing APK files is also an alternative. You can have a full and complete experience without ever touching Google Play or Google services.

This is why nobody likes stallmanites. You can nitpick as much as you want with that attitude and find something non-free somewhere in the ecosystem, but that does not mean that the entire project is now non-free. Again, you are arguing in bad faith against the first guaranteed freedom of free software.

Please explain why you think they’re endorsing it.

You can install and run non-free applications (like games or the nvidia driver) on Linux distributions. Does that make Linux non-free?

I would argue that restricting an OS to run exclusively FOSS code robs the user of the first guarantee of free software: “the freedom to use the program for any purpose”.

This. I’ve had issues at work while imaging classroom computers where some would finish in ~30 minutes and a few would need hours. All of the computers used Cat6 cables. This being a classroom, and students being absolute wankbags, they kept yanking the computers and kicking the cables, so the wires came loose from the plugs. I later used ethtool to debug the slow computers – the switch would only allow 10baseT link modes.

On Linux? Update packages and reboot.

On Windows? I think Nvidia is updated by Windows Update, but you’ll have to manually download the online updater tool for AMD cards. There’s really no good method to automate it on Windows other than clicking on the pop-ups, which I find equally hilarious and embarrassing.

Modern, performant computer graphics is an incredibly complex topic full of hacks, workarounds, and edge cases. It’s possible that an update to DirectX/OpenGL/Vulkan caused some edge case interaction between the application and the graphics pipeline to fail somewhere. Updating the GPU driver (mesa, nvidia, amdgpu, or whatever Windows equivalent) could mitigate that failure.

I remember having to update the Nvidia Windows driver when Cyberpunk 2077 was released to fix an issue related to transparent foliage (transparency is always a pain in the ass to deal with).

I’m not saying they can’t. I’m referring to a point that was championed in many a post by some .ml figures calling for the bot’s decommissioning. I don’t use the site (can’t even recall its name), and can’t speak for its credibility.

I guess I didn’t make it clear that it was second-hand information and not my personal informed opinion. In my defense, I was running on 4 hours of sleep.

IIRC, it lists a zionist/anti-Palestine news website as highly trustworthy. I can’t tell which side is right, I have it blocked.

If you consider gross misuse (i.e. mixing up “theory” and “hypothesis”) to be a valid form of etymology (e.g. making new words), I have a question to axe.

(I apologize to linguists’ families who now have to clean up bodily fluids and/or arrange a funeral.)

I’m staying on dry land until the Factorio DLC is out.

I just simply set up a script to export my Trilium notes

edit the notes with an external editor, and then you can just re-import the note

Those two lines right there.

I value interoperability between software. Using a container format to store plaintext files and metadata introduces an XKCD 927 situation where it’s just another reinvention of the wheel that requires additional software support or a whole other workflow for no real benefit. Why is it necessary, for example, to store plaintext data and the related hierarchical structure in a container format when the same feature is already present in the filesystem with files and directories? It adds unnecessary complexity, roadblocks, and points of failure.

I’m using QOwnNotes at the moment. If I want to edit a note, for example, using neovim through SSH, all I need to do is navigate to the markdown file and open it. No scripts, no export/import. Only text files, and that is all it ever needs to be.
