brian,

is that not just a checkbox when you install though?

brian,

there was that one time Ubuntu added ads to the search menu tho

brian,

not sure what you’re talking about with lisp lol, the military may have some dialect they wrote but lisp started as an academic language and there’s plenty of still supported and used dialects outside of that

brian,

wayland doesn’t support diagonal monitors

brian,

is there compositor support? is there a way to get kde to rotate my monitor to a specific degree via cli?

keep in mind I have no idea if there are real use cases for diagonal monitors, I just duct taped an accelerometer to the back of my monitor and can only get it to rotate in 90 degree increments with kscreendoctor and thought it would be funny if the picture was just always upright

What's a band that has one album that is just about perfect in your opinion, but rest of their discography misses the mark with you?

One of mine is Commit This to Memory by Motion City Soundtrack. I basically took the title verbatim and know the album word for word. And while I would love if it did, the rest of MCS’s stuff just doesn’t hit the same way....

brian,

little dark age (album) really just should have been 7 copies of little dark age (song). for some reason I always want more but nothing ever quite fits to follow up

brian,

fwiw it does seem to be for a box of 7-10 lbs, but still

brian,

one is giving the permission to manage the system service to a specific user, the other is running the service as the current user so they have permission to manage it by default

brian,

this just looks like poor moderation, enshittification very specifically refers to monetization efforts of the company destroying the platform

Consumer Reports urges USDA to remove Lunchables From National School Lunch Program (advocacy.consumerreports.org)

Consumer Reports called on the Department of Agriculture today to remove Lunchables food kits from the National School Lunch Program. CR recently compared the nutritional profiles of two Lunchable kits served in schools and found they have even higher levels of sodium than the kits consumers can buy in the store. CR also tested...

brian,

my experience was closer to the opposite, elementary was always reheated packaged stuff and after that the quality improved a bit. I think the real problem is it seems pretty random if it’s good or not

brian,

not sure for what purpose you want a tablet, but I had a fujitsu 2 in 1 in college that was pretty solid for linux support. no problems with pen drivers or anything. the screen swiveled around and it folded down into a tablet. it was pretty bulky compared to an android tablet or similar, but it worked well for taking noes and had a full keyboard when I wanted it

brian,

they’re really not, slc has a pretty progressive community but it’s in direct opposition to the mormons. they’re officially accepting of gay people, but as long as they don’t do anything gay. they aren’t ok with trans people who transition at all.

utah also recently passed bathroom laws for all govt controlled buildings and schools and there are ones for colleges in the works.

generally mormons will be nice and accepting if they think they can convert you, but that’s about as far as it goes

Roku has patented a way to show ads over anything you plug into your TV (arstechnica.com)

A patent application from the company spotted by Lowpass describes a system for displaying ads over any device connected over HDMI, a list that could include cable boxes, game consoles, DVD or Blu-ray players, PCs, or even other video streaming devices. Roku filed for the patent in August 2023 and it was published in November...

brian,

that gets rid of cec but everything else would still work. you really just have to plug your other devices into the TV directly instead of into the roku. the problem will be the tvs with roku integrated directly

brian,

one more for using nix, but for language tooling I generally prefer a nix shell and installing per project dependencies there. then updates don’t break random projects and you know all the dependencies of a given project

brian,

lol that doesn’t work either tho. it yields the string once and then is done. you still need a loop inside

brian,

decent framework

jquery

It’s current year, you have to choose one. there really isn’t any reason to use jquery other than legacy code

brian,

what does jquery give you that vanilla js doesn’t? it was good before browser inconsistencies got ironed out and js didn’t have as many features built in, but nowadays I have no idea why someone would need it

brian,

fwiw it is possible to get games from all the other stores. the only restriction is it has to be runnable on linux, which really isn’t that big of a deal anymore with the current state of proton. it is a bit more work than games from steam tho

brian,

there’s also a ton of extra space once you remove the hdd, it could be mostly battery

brian,

I regularly do this method and I don’t end up with much if any grounds that are still floating after the bloom and stir. how much are you removing?

brian,

it felt to me like coffeescript solved problems that people had, then js got equivalent features. arguably that could happen to ts as well

brian,

is it legal to carry flashing red and blue lights when crossing streets as a pedestrian? The number of times I’ve gotten stuck in the middle of the crosswalk bc no one will stop is absurd

brian,

Google messages. Here is the support article on the tradeoffs: support.google.com/fi/answer/6188337

brian,

yeah that works, it’s even the same interface. you just lose out on also making calls and voicemail from web
