looks like a good privacy respecting one, but remember that you need root/microg to use it, so you are kinda stuck if you're on stock android

nope, it's actually used system wide for many things, mostly low power geolocation, apple has it's own NLP system, and there's actually a few privacy respecting ones which you can use if you have a rooted phone (Mozilla NLP/DejaVu NLP, with the latter being offline and relying on a database made by itself using the data from a time you had both GPS and wifi active)

I hope it's tea instead of water

while playing around with face/fingerprint unlock for my laptop, I messed up pam (Linux Pluggable Authentication Modules) and no passwords were working anymore except for the root account. At first I was still on my account, but then I stupidly rebooted and could only log in as root. After so many config edits, I gave up and instead booted up windows (my laptop's dual booted), setting up a new linux install in VirtualBox, and then copying over the PAM config files from the vm to the actual Linux install.

and it all somehow worked!

I am now facing another issue which I'm gonna say here in the hope somebody has already ran into it: after updating to KDE plasma 6, tap to click works on my touchpad, but actually, physically, pressing on the trackpad doesn't work. I can hear the pad's physical clicking noise, but nothing happens os wise

this one's still to be resolved

this is 3am rabbit hole material.. very interesting, thanks for the writeup

is my toungue staying inside my mouth licking the inside of the mouth? does that mean it's also licking philosophy?

yup, for a more prolonged experience you could also smell the interior of new cars, back when you could actually afford one

i used (and still use) to rub shrink wrap with my fingers until it deteriorated so much it ripped apart, it was so much fun

what's the difference between food and garden?

be sure to get one of those metal/opaque ones specifically made for oil, as it degrades when exposed to sunlight (btw, that's why oil bottles are coloured and not transparent)

It won't make you sick of you dont, but exposure to light will get rid of its health benefits

I mean if you like to tinker with electronics it should be fairly doable with an external power supply

now imagine pushing an update to it

on the opposite side, Myanmar (formerly Burma) has right hand steering and driving on the right hand side of the road

imminent need to pee

65°F = 18.3°C

thank me later

Can relate to the surrealism one, it gives me such strange vibes when I'm half waken up yet still dreaming

i've had this issue so many times I just gave up and now use gimp from vnc connected on localhost to termux

going over people also soulnds like it would cause a derilment
