The post was about being asked to disable background blurring specifically.

It's not for everyone, but if "collection of perl scripts" sounds like your jam, GnuPod still works for a CLI option.

I don't think these things are universal across software, but you can often put -f on its own, separate from other flags, or get in the habit of using the long --force flag.

I really have no idea, but "blogger in the 80s" is kind of hilarious. The coining of a term can be hard to pin down, but it also matters a lot less than when it takes off. Looking at this ngram I think we can place the rise, when most people would become aware of it, in the early 2010s.

It's worth noting that its success might have prevented the common term "incel" from coming about.

The link in the news article (now?) redirects to another domain.

My only controversial opinion is that one must always avoid "/s" indicators, as those are an instant killer of comedy. If an occasional unit of sarcasm flies over the head of another, drawing downvotes and/or unhappiness, it's a price we must endure as a society.

Sorry, I couldn't vote for you. You double-space after periods!

When I first saw sudo I assumed it was pronounced "pseudo" because it lets you fake like you're doing stuff as another user. So that has stuck for me. (And despite all evidence, I still low-key believe it's a clever pun encompassing both that and the official "superuser do.")

The current best color eink tech (Kaleido 3) has a handful of limitations, but the big one is how the screen is naturally darker than conventional eink devices you may be familiar with. High contrast and natural light readability are usually the best things about eink, but the darkness of Kaleido 3 screens, caused by the dual layers (one for black pixels, one for color), makes backlighting necessary in a lot more lighting situations, whereas you could probably read a conventional eink device by candlelight, just as you could with a book.

All these devices have backlights because they need them, but by turning it on you lose most of the benefits of having eink in the first place. At that point it's like using a standard tablet, except the color depth is only 4096, so imagine the worst tablet screen you've ever seen... and this just looks far worse.

Color eink tablet. The technology is impressive, but really not ready yet. I'd stick with b&w eink, or if you really need color, just go with a conventional tablet.

I'm certainly not disagreeing with you, but let's not overlook how protecting your skin from sun exposure can help as the years pile on.

You're not allowed to smile when you're playing with power.

The real armies are the limbs we've numbed along the way.

Why, when they're already perfect?

Did you just say "Ni" to that Lemmy user?
