Thanks!

That's classified. Let's say I need OSINT for it :p

Gogs

You know it has been forked to Gitea and Gitea has been forked to Forgejo in the meantime?

• Fluent Reader – to very quickly get a lot of news which I need for work
• Beeper – for the 100 chat apps I need to use to stay in contact with my friends who don't use Matrix
• Nheko – for the based friends who have [matrix] accounts and chats with industry professionals in my field
• FluffyChat – mobile device [matrix] client
• Logseq – as second brain, works better for me than Obsidian
• Jameica – for online banking and accounting
• K-9 Mail / Thunderbird – mail client
• DecSync CC – for synchronising contacts with multiple devices through Syncthing
• ActivityWatch – to track everything I do in case I forget to book time in my corporate time sheet, or if I want to know how long I played games in contrast to programming
• KDE Plasma – best desktop environment boosting my productivity to about 140% of what I could do with Windows 10
• Qalculate! – very fast and easy to use scientific calculator, can also do conversions like "1h50min → min" or "15€ → $"
• Aegis – TOTP generator for mobile
• VLC – plays everything you throw at it
• mpv – plays everything you throw at it, if you installed the right codecs, and also does fancy ML-based GPU upscaling in my case
• KeePassXC, KeePassDX – password managers integrated on Desktop, Laptop, Tablet and Phone
• Syncthing – to automatically and seamlessly sync all my devices (Laptop, Desktop, Tablet, Phone, second Laptop, Servers, …)
• Firefox Developer Edition, Librewolf – browsing the web without Chromium
• Chromium – for PWAs like Teams, Outlook, Discord

Like I think in 10 years there will be a business tier paid Ubuntu OS that ships with Firefox, and after like 3 or 4 iterations, it will be the IE of the future.

I would love that future, to be honest. Currently, Chromium based browsers have no serious competition. Worst case, we can (and have already) forked Firefox (e.g. to Librewolf).

can you please provide sources for your claims?

1. A study published in The BMJ states that air pollution from the use of fossil fuels in industry, power generation, and transportation accounts for 5.1 million avoidable deaths a year globally, with 61% of these deaths linked to fossil fuels. The study doesn't provide a number for the US.
2. According to the International Energy Agency, the transition to electric vehicles is an important step in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change. In the United States, renewable energy sources accounted for 40% of electricity generation in 2023, up from 17% in 2000.
3. The United Nations claim climate change is “the defining issue of our time” and “the greatest challenge to sustainable development”.

I once calculated that my upper-middle class EV (2.1 tons in kerb weight, sadly) is better for the environment (indeed, carbon neutral since I'm only using clean energy) starting at 70,000km of driving usage. I'm at 20,000km now, so I'm already 28% there :)

You can use https://copilot.microsoft.com to make googling easier (:

Try the program CoreCtrl, IMHO it works quite well and is easy to use.

I think they meant that # is used in many other ways than "the hash tag sign" and you should refer to it as such, e.g. as hash sign, pound sign or number sign.

And the fourth arm?

No, we're superhuman.

I guess they meant that biologically, sex is needed for procreation. Without sex, you wouldn't be alive.

Did you think for a second and realise that some women enjoy being spat on and strangled? Just search for male porn in the same category and be amazed some men and nonbinary people also like to be spat on and strangled. Stop kinkshaming.

Do yourself a favor and just get a regular second monitor.

“Geofencing has solved a bunch of really major cases that were otherwise totally cold,” he wrote.

Citation needed. Solving a case for a police officer means finding a person who looks guilty, not that they're actually guilty. Even if they're convicted they could've just been convicted by being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

No, that makes the person who promised to do something incapable of doing it. If I promise to jump over a stool and fail that doesn't make me a liar because I actually intended to fulfill that promise.

When did you try Matrix? You can just choose to not encrypt your chat room. Apart from that, in 2022 the encryption hiccups got way better, in 2023 they're barely happening.

I recommend FluffyChat as mobile client and Nheko for desktop. The Matrix experience relies heavily on the client you're using.

Why not use fwupd?

Because they're a Manjaro user and already lost.

Next time buy from vendors which support fwupd.
