When I first moved to Linux, these installers always gave me trouble (even in their target distro, Rocky Linux).

Here are the scripts I made to fix and automate the process.

Very helpful for making videogame assets and exporting them in parts to Godot

I wonder how many people will be getting scammed or infected by malicious 'free' VPNs. Most people affected by this (minors) won't have a credit card to pay for legit VPNs

I can't be the only one that accidentally closes tabs in my browser when I want to delete a word with Ctrl+W

No, but it does help incentivize people to do those things using transit, or at non-rush hours and gives less traffic to everyone else.

It doesn't work if there aren't alternatives, of course. But NY and London do have them.

Those scooter riders suck! Both for riding irresponsibly AND especially for riding away. But these incidents can be reduced (if not eliminated) with a bike lane where they could be separated from both pedestrians and cars.

Indeed, but AFAIK you can't do the opposite (make results from certain sites show up higher in the results), which you can do with Kagi.

I actually learned to count on binary with my fingers at some point. So i can technically count to 32 on one hand and 1024 using both.

It's been useful a handful of times (less than 5 times, not 32).

But it's fun, and not that hard once you learn the pattern.

I really am loving Fedora 40, it has been solid on my Framework 13.

Can't add RAM to any Mac (except the Pro, I think). You have to buy it from Apple with all the RAM it'll ever have. Which is why they overprice the upgrades so much

I've used the xReal glasses as a screen replacement and they're pretty good. They're not my first choice if I can set the computer on a surface and use the screen, but they're great for waiting areas without tables, or to watch something while laying down, which was nice when I was sick. My friend says that when I just have the keyboard on my lap and the glasses on I look like a blind man on a computer, that's fine with me :-)

I don't use them. I do pay for the version without ads of the services I use them most though (YouTube, Nebula, Reddit, using Kagi instead of Google, etc). I happen to not use sites that don't offer a version without ads enough for them to annoy me OR I've used FB and it's so annoying that I just stopped using it, which is an improvement on my life anyway.

All in all i spend about $30/month to not have ads while supporting the sites I use, which I think it's pretty reasonable.

Hey, I just made my appointment for this!

That's true if you want them to move slowly like in the movie. But to just freeze them you need to take all the pictures at the same time

Well at least they're the ones selling the shovels

In Film acá TV things get archived to LTO. The tapes last a long time and aren't that expensive. The writer/reader can be though (start around a few thousand bucks IIRC)

Yup. I've been loving it since i switched over like 6 months ago

Same here! I can feel like the Emperor's clothes sometimes.

I made a vertical mouse for my wrist pain with tons of macro buttons... https://youtu.be/NjJaXvkDHfI

Those are pretty cool, and have a lot of info. But I've found that having all that info makes them really slow to load and harder to read, especially on mobile, plus you can't search for destinations like a coffee shop, or market, etc. Just an address, city, etc.

On our site, you can enter a destination for example 'Arclight Theater Hollywood' then find the nearest parking. Double-tap it and it sends you to Google or Apple Maps, so you can quickly get directions to get there.

I guess I should also mention that you can request coverage in your area via the 'Request Coverage' button.

Several of the big cities are there, but we're still working on adding coverage.

I find copilot really useful sometimes. But I'd be a bit iffy about using it for security stuff. Sometimes it makes mistakes that are easy to miss because they look correct, but a tiny thing is off.

For example it will suggest to write 'function(example, test)' but the function is supposed to be written function(test, example). The code will run and all, but the results will be incorrect and it takes a while to find the issue. In my web app... Annoying for me and users. In security... might cost more than a little frustration.

Same here. It sounds really impressive until i try try it. Ive been trying it as help for coding a web app this week. Sometimes it's really helpful. But often it wouldn't work, I kept correcting it and telling it which errors i got. So it keeps giving me new suggestions that also didn't work, and it keeps adding code that doesn't help. So i end up with a bunch of long code from all the attempts that still doesn't work. So i have to fix it by hand anyway. Like i said, sometimes it's really good, but either I'm also bad at asking, or they have cherry-picked examples.

Are they buying their debts too? They might've payed to y much

Kagi has been great! I don't miss scrolling through sponsored and SEO results, and it's pretty fast.

Once I texted a Tinder date from my Pixel and she goes... "Oh, you're a green bubble". I've never felt discriminated by the color of my skin, just by the color of my text bubble!

In fairness, most titles are written by the editor, not the author of the piece. That might explain the disconnect

Can't wait for the jokes when a penis-shaped object is erected in ya'booty.

Same! It's been great so far. I sure don't miss all the sponsored results at the top!

I guess you can on the Android ones
