pulpfictional··on Windows 11 collects an awful lot of telemetry about your PC
Using one of the tools to change your edition to an Enterprise one, then disabling telemetry through Group Policy.
pulpfictional··on Emacs for Android
You don't, it supports virtual keyboards. The pref touch-screen-display-keyboard helps making it accessible in every buffer.

I use a keyboard "Keyboard Designer" so I have a very accessible Meta, Ctrl and Shift keys and movement as well. I'm sure you can achieve something similar with others.

pulpfictional··on Is Coffee Good for You? – James Hoffmann review of scientific literature [video]
Well, is it? Really should have a transcript or at least a small conclusion paragraph. Not keen on going through 15min of video.
pulpfictional··on Ask HN: Why does Apple refuse to add window snapping to macOS?
I want it all, I want it now.
pulpfictional··on Review of Hetzner ARM64 servers and experience of WebP cloud services on them
Ah sucks. From what I hear their support will probably not help you register but it's worth a shot.

Pay 20€ up-front through PayPal. This becomes available as credit, a top-up in a sense.
pulpfictional··on Reddit makes r/programming private after top post exposed chatgpt astroturfing
Is the archive link of the actual post working? Just a broken white page for me.

Edit: works by clicking the comments button. Utterly pathetic move, so stupid. You'd think reddit of all services would know how to astroturf

pulpfictional··on Ble.sh―a full-featured line editor for Bash
This thing is awesome, it's fast, well documented and feature-filled. Replaced the panoply of zsh config packages I used to run to get pretty much the same result.

pulpfictional··on Show HN: Open sourcing Harmonic, my Android Hacker News client
I love it, releases on GitHub to so I can avoid F-Droid builds. Dev is nice and receptive too and the app is feature filled. Finally replaced Materialistic for me.

Other way around is a better choice IMO.

Have a look at the wiki for map Arch has nothing to do with it
pulpfictional··on Feynman Lectures on Physics (1964)
Oh nice, thank you for letting us know.
pulpfictional··on Feynman Lectures on Physics (1964)
Only the first one is pretty bad, the others are quite good in my opinion.
pulpfictional··on Rekt.network
I'm locked out of so many sites, I loathe it. Cost of rolling in an everything blocker Firefox. At least it helps me find good old-fashioned text based websites.
pulpfictional··on F-Droid interview featuring Sylvia von OS and Hans-Christoph Steiner [audio]
https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/

I like how F-Droid enabled the Android FOSS scene but I avoid using to get apps everytime I can. I'll use it as search and get the apps from their source repo with Obtanium.The way the F-Droid team dismissed those arguments is very off-putting.

pulpfictional··on Tell HN: Putting mirrors around my desk improved my posture
The article does not back that claim with a citation.

One should be active and mobile every day, in my opinion.

pulpfictional··on Tell HN: Putting mirrors around my desk improved my posture
You should be standing, not sitting. Sitting is quite detrimental.

pulpfictional··on Somehow AutoHotKey is kinda good now
Give them a shot if you like the feature, it's worth it.

Flow Launcher and Fluent Search do a better job than the powertoys one. By the time Powertoys got a result I could've opened the program with the mouse. https://github.com/adirh3/Fluent-Search https://github.com/Flow-Launcher/Flow.Launcher

The Fluent Search creator is pretty active and available on Discord.

pulpfictional··on Ask HN: My Sleep Quality Declines Throughout the Workweek – What Gives?
If you're truly applying proper sleep hygiene then you ought to see a doctor. Perhaps also a therapist can help you indentify what is it that bothers you. I don't think anyone can diagnose your stress in an internet forum. There's no hacks to feeling well.
pulpfictional··on Nix-on-droid: Nix-enabled environment for your Android device (termux-based)
Your "threat model" requiring the option shown to be least safe doesn't make its vulnerabilities less so. To develop a "threat model" one must first ascertain the system's intrinsic risk before leveraging one's specific needs. If the outcome is the least secure option, then only your risk increases, the security of each option remains unchanged.
pulpfictional··on Can Fortran survive another 15 years?
It's unfortunately this article is skin deep and does not meet its question.
pulpfictional··on Is being trans a social fad among teenagers?
I'm in no way knowledgeable regarding this but does gender politics not further gender distinctios? Particular trasgender politics seem go reinforce gender roles rather than diluting them.

It would seem wiser to modify your body and personality however you wish and adhere to sex, without worry of defining a gender. I suppose situations where the sexes are separated is where gender politics start.

pulpfictional··on Termux is an Android terminal emulator and Linux environment app
It's unfortunate that due to a hardcoded prefix it is unusable in secondary Android profiles.
