  • Always read the user name before responding. :/

  • Dude is Seto Kaiba of Kaiba Corp.

  • You're confusing McDonald's with Chiquita.

  • Nutella pizza with fries is clearly the odd one out.

  • You can make the screen have perfectly sharp corners but have subtly round edges in the glass. Also... If phone manufacturers actually cared about the durability of their display, they'd add things like a rim around the display or a little chin. And for the back they'd use soft-coated plastic for the back like on their own older devices. Instead they are producing slippery, all-flush glass sandwiches.

    I used both of the phones linked above and while they're not super-pretty, they were extremely practical at the time. Using a bumper seemed so silly with these devices. The Sony in particular fell on concrete so many times, without the glass ever shattering.

  • This is the first time I am hearing of it, so far I was only aware of .local/share. Conventions being what they are, there may be multiple. :) However, I find it impractical to use a hidden directory for the purpose.

    1. I think file managers just put a file name into the clipboard, not the actual file. It's also worth noting that the clipboard is a concept of X11/Wayland. There may be CLI tooling, but it will only work as long as there's a graphical environment running. I any case, have you tried putting a file reference, i.e. ![](/path/to/file.svg), into your .md file? I don't think you can put an SVG directly into Markdown anyway (I may be wrong on that).
    2. People seem to use https://catbox.moe/
    3. I'd edit PATH rather than moving a random script to root. The convention is to put a directory ~/bin into your home and add that to PATH.
  • So, 20kB is not that much, honestly (even considering you probably need 4*20=80kB for regular/bold/italic/bold italic). I would just set a suitable caching policy in the server software and leave it at that. Regarding fonts being overused — unfortunately pretty much all the higher-quality ones from Google Fonts are. If you find another suitable font from Google Fonts, you may not be happy for too long.

    (I used to maintain a website at work that delivered 1.5MB of CSS (600kB compressed), consisting of Bootstrap, Bootstrap extras, and then the previous two designs of the website layered on top of each other. That is sad.)

  • Why not? Pretty much all software from the past twenty years has been UTF-8 compatible. The issue is more that you may at some point be in a situation where you can't (directly) use your password manager.

  • And here I am avoiding even special characters because I worry about having to enter them on a French keyboard at some point.

    Do be aware that a single emoji is often composed of multiple Unicode characters (e.g. base emoji + gender modifier + skin tone modifier). Entering that on the command line is going to be fun.

  • More of a centralization/impersonation issue, no? After all, verifying a SHA sum is only helpful if you know the SHA sum of the trustworthy version of a package.

  • Not sure if you'll find this helpful: Most player software will prefer the Album Artist field over Artist for sorting in the album view. If there is a feature artist on a specific track, you can fill in the two fields like this: Artist: Artist1 and Artist2 and Album Artist: Artist1. That will at least keep the entire album together.

  • Built-in translations feature is awesome, I was already using the add-on version of the feature for a while.

  • So, I've been asking myself what "legitimate interest" is supposed to mean.

    I think the intent of the law is to have those cookies be the kind that the website needs to work. For example, they might use that to store which cookies you chose to enable

    Companies actually don't need to ask you to allow cookies which are strictly needed for the site to work. They will usually still show a category "required cookies" as part of the cookie list but you generally can't disable them.

    However, the "legitimate interest" stuff is usually deselectable and paired with another regular check box for the same third party.

  • This is from 2014. Can you still buy these products in the US?

    At least in the EU, solid microplastics within cosmetics have been forbidden since 2018 (silicones etc. are still allowed unfortunately).
