I make things: electronics and software and music and stories and all sorts of other things.
Could I do:
signature primes_less_than(x: number) -> [number]
example primes_less_than(2) = []
example primes_less_than(10) = [ 2, 3, 5, 7 ]
primes_less_than(10582319112759318014901241439012831231539517)
?
I don’t pay for OpenAI, so I can’t try the playground
ctrl + x => :wqa
ctrl + s => :w
Just switched to LibreWolf/Mull + KeePassXC/KeePass2Android
Tuta Mail for personal
Thunderbird/K-9 (mobile) for my work’s gmail since the gmail website is garbage
Nvidia and Wayland is still BORKED
Nope
Having used OS X, there is no way they’ve done usability testing. Doing basically everything is hard on OS X
They should be worried. We don’t want them comfortable.
So many negative things have entered our culture bc people don’t care about dangers. Nearly every app should have a warning
Why use Julia when Rust is so much better?
Also, as for reasoning for choosing a Pixel, Pixels are not really a product for Google but rather a device for Google employees to test things on but as a consequence can be sold as well. This makes them perfect for hacking
AI is mostly just hype. It’s the new blockchain
There are important AI technologies in the past for things like vision processing and the new generative AI has some uses like as a decent (although often inaccurate) summarizer/search engine. However, it’s also nothing revolutionary.
It’s just a neat peace of tech
But here come MS, Apple, other big companies, and tech bros to push AI hard, and it’s so obv that it’s all just a big scam to get more of your data and to lock down systems further or be the face of get-rich-quick schemes.
I mean the image you posted is a great example. Recall is a useless feature that also happens to store screenshots of everything you’ve been doing. You’re delusional if you think MS is actually going to keep that totally local. Both MS and the US government are going to have your entire history of using the computer, and that doesn’t sit right with FOSS people.
FOSS people tend to be rather technical than the average person, so they don’t fall for tech enthusiast nonsense as much.
Ubuntu ca 2010
Play some Nibbles from that era
Nextcloud Server
I can only get it to work via snap and on Ubuntu. I’ve tried Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Fedora, and NixOS for distro and both manual and snap. It doesn’t even have a flatpak.
Debian
People use IPv6?
I still don’t know anything about it
Back when I was a kid, I was using Ubuntu. Ubtunu 14 and 16.
At some point I got really into Elementary OS and Pantheon
Then I rejected clone distros and embraced the mother distro, Debian.
In college, I experimented a bit, like most people. I tried various DEs and WMs on Debian. I tried Arch. I tried Pop_OS!. I tried Gentoo. Man, Gentoo is the WORST. Compiling stuff takes WAY too long and even after using it for 6 months it never got better. Worst distro on the planet. No one should ever use it. Eventually I settled on Arch.
I stayed an Arch i3 guy for 3.5 years, but eventually I got fed up with it.
I then finally gave Fedora a try, and I thought it was great. It was up to date like Arch but unbreakable. At the time I was also looking into BTRFS and immutability and making my own distro, and Fedora is great for that bc of CoreOS and Kinoite and all that stuff.
While on Fedora I did a lot of weird things in search of my goals. Like I figured out how to install Pacman and get AUR applications working on Fedora, notably archiso which I was using to build my own immutable, declarative OS that would be AppImage-based and utilizing an AppImage package manager and store front I wrote myself.
But then, about a year in, I discovered NixOS. It’s the best thing ever. It solves all the problems I had with other distros that I thought I’d solve on Fedora or Arch with programming. It’s everything I could want in a distro and then some. I’ve now been on it longer than I was on Fedora, and there’s no sign of switching to anything else.
Parallel to all this is various tool hopping. For instance, trying GNOME/KDE/Xfce/i3/Sway/Hyprland/etc at various times with various setups as well. Or bash vs zsh. Etc
Currently, I’m on NixOS with Hyprland, and it’s great. I’ve also used it with i3 and with GNOME + Pop Shell 2 for tiling which are both solid as well.
Now, that’s my daily driver and gaming machine. I use other OSs on other computers.
I have a computer for music production that got Fedoraized when I was a Fedora fanboy for a year. I don’t change it bc it doesn’t need to change. It just needs to run Ardour, yabridge, etc and maintain my system audio configurations that I don’t remember how to set up now. If it ever gets messed up, I’ll switch to a fork of my NixOS configuration and refigure out my audio settings and put them in a configuration.
I have a home nextcloud server as well. It also was once Fedoraized, but I gave up on that and went to Ubuntu bc that’s the only thing that should ever run a Nextcloud server. It just does not work correctly if it’s not on Ubuntu, at least that’s my experience. I’ve tried hosting on Arch, Fedora, Debian, Pop_OS! and more, but only Ubuntu works well for Nextcloud, so Ubuntu it stays.
Windows -> RedHat -> Windows -> Gentoo -> Ubuntu -> RHEL -> Ubuntu -> Debian -> Arch
You’re spot on. Bspwm is just worse.
Dynamic tilers are always worse off in the actual window management department than manual tilers.
It’s why it’s best to use i3-likes and then add a script for autotiling, so you can always break it when you need (or make n-ary trees as you put it).
A window manager should be useful; dynamic tilers are not
Hyprland works great as long as you make sure to get the build with nvidia patches to prevent flickering. It’s very similar to i3, although not 1:1 like sway.
Also fyi there’s trash-cli
I have rm aliased to trash-rm (not in sudo tho, so I can still force true deletion), so that if I remove something in terminal it also goes to trash.
You can empty the trash via trash-empty
It also uses ${XDG_DATA_HOME}/Trash (usually ~/.local/share/Trash)
No bc of camera proprietariness
