Immich x FUTO Q&A (www.youtube.com)

Short version of this interview is that nothing is changing, other than they’re going to be asking a flat fee “$5-20” for the app, rather than relying on donations. All donation platforms have been closed. However, if you choose not to, as Louis says “that’s between you and your God”....

acockworkorange,

Which might be there to prevent legal troubles from YouTube.

acockworkorange,

What is their business model?

Selling free software without enforcing it.

How do they earn money to give out?

See above.

What do they ask in return besides hoarding the trademarks?

Cash.

acockworkorange,

Bug is not even a scientific definition. If I want to group spiders with bugs, that’s perfectly fine.

acockworkorange,

Bug is a kid’s term for bug-like things. That’s as closest to a scientific definition you’ll get. It’s like trying to precisely define creepy-crawlies.

Case in point: the children’s movie A bug’s life. There’s a spider and two rolie-polies in the main cast, along insects (not sure all are in the Hemiptera clade).

acockworkorange,

You get one level at the get go because everything is in a function. So just two levels of indentation? A pretty basic if… for…if nesting has to be refactored? Into what? Goto? Should I sprinkle return statements all over the place?

Y’all gotta understand that Linus is often kind of an ass.

acockworkorange,

We are not stuck to DEC VT100 terminals anymore. It’s okay to have 100 columns of code. And wasting 10% of that space for each indentation? What are you smoking?

On the last part, you can see Jesuit exorcism markings on Tiwanaku and Inka statues. They tried to tear down temples too, but couldn’t figure out how to dismantle the foundations and first meter and a half off walls. So they used those to build European style dwellings on top of it.

acockworkorange,

If a company with some resources makes a good Debian unstable based distro with a decent release cycle (could even be yearly), they’ll dominate the desktop market.

Fix for the capslock slow response

This is an issue that I know for a fact that is not specific to plasma, but I came here to ask for help since I run Plasma and I’m hoping that there is something I can change on the DE to fix it. Caps-lock is very slow and causes THis ISsue, and it is driving me crazy. I’m the person who can never learn how to use the shift...

acockworkorange,

People, can we focus on the technical issue instead of criticizing OP for their typing habits?

Testing if VRR is active and working

I recently updated to fedora 40 and enabled the experimental setting to get VRR running. But I am an idiot who has been playing at frames rates between 30-60 on screens without VRR for almost all of my life so I can’t even know if VRR is actually working or not. Is there some rest I can run to see if VRR is functional¿? If...

acockworkorange,

Should have taken the money and spent it all on the arcade.

acockworkorange,

Every time I hear about it I want to show it to SJG and say: “this could have been YOU!

[SOLVED] I'm cheap and want a Linux keyboard

Thank you everyone for taking time to help out. While looking for keyboards, I’ve found a great deal on a new Keychron C3 Pro at Amazon for around $30. It’s a wired keyboard, but it’s got hot swappable brown switches and I figured there’s no way I’d find something better to dip my toes in this hobby....

acockworkorange,

Thanks! The price difference to a fully assembled one is $15. Wouldn’t it be cheaper to get the assembled one and just change the switches? Or are the stock key caps not worth it?

acockworkorange, (edited )

Oh don’t apologize, and thank you for all the tips!

And while we’re at it, I’ve had a hard time finding third party key caps for the Alice layout. Is there a better keyword to search for or are they really rare?

acockworkorange,

You’re way too patient. “Nothing I can do about it” would have been my answer to the first complaint.

acockworkorange,

It’s a harrowing experience I don’t intend to repeat any time soon.

acockworkorange,

I’d argue that’s a very pedantic interpretation. A fortress spell that casts a fundamentally flawed fortress doesn’t make sense.
