It’s pretty hard to be open and transparent when 2 men with guns and black suits are sitting at your kitchen table.

We don’t know if that happened, but given the speed this happened and the us being the us…

If it breaks that they had a long runway of knowing this had to happen, then sure bring out the pitchforks, but imo we should default to this happening under heavy pressure to act immediately.

Nerds like us can argue until we are blue in the face, 99% of the public will continue to call it Linux. GNU/Linux is a good way to prompt those not in the know to learn some of the history while still being understandable as Linux, that is the current and best solution, I do not think it is unresolved.

Go to language and region > click 3 dots for your language > language options > add a keyboard > add Dvorak (or whatever). Then either remove the qwerty layout or do win+space to actually select the keyboard layout.

I think this will cause as many problems as it solves (from Reddit’s POV), going private has always been a panic button for mods when shit hits the fan. Now those controversies will have much longer to build and have news stories written about it first. Short sighted.

Would ssh -X username@localhost work?

I know this isn’t the point but avast is more or less malware itself these days. The bundled windows defender + the free (not always running) version of malwarebytes is a good enough solution for almost everyone.

I think it can be helpful to separate “built in” gui tools with everything else, having them all under one letter accomplishes that.

Disney releases new movies with new characters pretty quickly. I don’t think they have even exhausted the first movie yet.

so why not rm -rf folder/.git/* then rm -r folder/*

Nothing with a recent AMD gfx Card or APU will officially support S3, and I think Nvidia is the same. Just because it isn’t supported doesn’t mean they’ll intentionally break anything, but over time you’ll have more and more bugs related to it and one day it will break and never be fixed.

Personally I use S4 (hibernate) more or less exclusively.

Obviously the best choice to switch search engines. But isn’t pressing page down or adding a ruel to your adblock easier than editing the URL?

I know people hate Linus tech tips and everything, but they have a great guide on how best to save wet hardware https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNm2g4Tkf3E , skip to 30s if you don’t like their comedy

No some of them are the marks.

But if we want to play bad faith statistics games then 5% is roughly the percent of Americans who have gone to prison.

All the ‘advantages’ to crypto seem to me to really be ways of avoiding regulation (or are only advantageous without regulation)

Well apparently it’s programmed to bypass the safety system after 3 attempts under the assumption that the user knows best.

This seems like a really dumb choice, but I can see why an engineer would want to point out that it’s not incompetent engineering but an incompetent business department.

Bonnets cover the engine, evs don’t have engines, and their motors and other important components aren’t always centrally located nor do they need much regular maintenance so the front is sometimes made into a storage compartment, the frunk.

If you can tell the contribution is ai generated, it’s not good enough

IOT devices shouldn’t connect to wifi. ZWave or zigbee is much better suited to IOT stuff, but it seems to mostly get adopted in very limited, locked down proprietary shit like Hue Lights.

I like this graphic, some of my favourites:

git log --oneline is super useful for getting just a list of title of commits and nothing else

git bisect is a little known but extremely useful git archaeology command that automates binary searching for a regression.
