  • My dog is direct opposite:

    • he likes to chase indoor cats, have no interest or rather feared of outdoor ones (for a good reason)
    • cue to go out is usually me putting on shoes, but if he sees a leash - he will refuse to cooperate and start pretending that he doesn't want to walk until I snap it to the collar.

    Probably because I often walk with him without leash, but only right behind our house, there are almost no people walking there, except for other dog owners.

  • cat << EOF > main.c; gcc main.c -o main

  • I'm using metager.org, because I won't trust a closed-source service like DDG or profit-driven company like Brave to not censor their search results.

  • 1 - bloat
    2 - click-bait title

  • Or better yet, use z or zoxide:
    "z down" will fuzzy match the "~/Download" folder.

  • Look at how his left hand is 'attached' to the body, almost like an action toy figure.

    Pretty sure AI has higher res.

    Lots of compression is very common way to hide imperfections in photoshopped (and now AI-generated) images to pass them as real.

  • Whose eyes are those eyes?

  • There's a separate syntax for quotes in markdown:

     
        
    > This is a quote.
    whole paragraph is still a quote with a single '>'
    and even newlines are preserved and long lines are perfectly soft-wrapped, isn't it useful?
    >
    > empty lines should have '>' if they're part of quote
    
    > this is a separate quote, because line above doesn't have '>'
    
    
      

    This is a quote. whole paragraph is still a quote with a single '>' and even newlines are preserved and long lines are perfectly soft-wrapped, isn't it useful?

    empty lines should have '>' if they're part of quote

    this is a separate quote, because line above doesn't have '>'

  • Vampires are found independently in Africa, Asia, North and South America, India, Western and Eastern Europe, and especially in the Balkans. All these incarnations have common attributes of folkloric vampires, though their appearance and origins vary due to the cultural environment and the intent or purpose of the myth (i.e., social control). Thus, the vampire is not culturally specific, nor is it a particular phenomenon, but rather it is almost a universal explanation for the liminal state when coupled with its relatives. Each culture has created these mythical fiends as a way to explain folk hypothesis, thus individually perpetuating their existence.

  • Just tell me actual errors like a professional OS would.

    Professional OS:

  • You know what's even more dissapointing? bc - arbitrary precision calculator for linux shell uses 'l' for natural log, just a single letter.
    And there's no other log function, so when you need logx(y) you write: ''l(y)/l(x)".

  • Most languages have decimal libraries to correctly handle floating point arithmetics, where precision is necessary.

  • No, next one is obviously the transparent alpha version to complete "RGBA".

  • From what I remember, they require a credit card info for people outside of US. Here's my sign up screen with Netherlands VPN:

  • I like mongolian tea in the morning: very strong tea + half cup milk with butter and salt.

  • Actually, Librewolf team set up recently a poll "should we move to Codeberg?". And this was one of the reasons for migrating.

    P.S. other privacy/convenience issues with gitlab:

    • gitlab.com seems to require credit card information for new users signing up, which is not really great if people just want to report bugs.
    • gitlab.com uses Cloudflare, which for a few weeks locked out LibreWolf users from accessing gitlab.com in the past.
    • GitLab requires Javascript even to just look at issues, which is not the case for Codeberg

    P.P.S. They did move their codebase to Codeberg as a result.

  • 3gb CSV file goes brrrr....

  • Joplin (FOSS and probably general go-to for cross-platform open source notes in general but is a bit of a memory hog)

    This comment describes my frustration with modern software.
    How could a note taking app be a memory hog? You could type out a whole War and Piece and it shouldn't take more than couple megabytes to store it.

  • Flatpaks and Snaps become more efficient in terms of storage usage the more you use them...

    I'm not disagreeing with that, but how many apps an average user requires that he can't find in the distro's repository? And how many snaps he should have installed, so it'd be more space-efficient than appimages, 10? 20? 30?

    hint: for me - one is too many.

    Flatpak and Snap share dependencies while Appimage doublicates all of them...

    On the other hand, appimage only includes the libraries actually required by an app. Where Snap/Flatpack install big fat runtimes.
    I've recently made a very simple gtk4 app and packaged it with all dependencies into a 10mb appimage you can just download and run. The very same app would rely on 250+ mb gtk4 runtime with snap.
    And I could be fine with that; but no, it's not that simple, you'll have x3 gtk4 runtimes on your system. Because snap keeps 3 last versions of every snap pkg and it's dependencies. I don't know what flatpack installs, but it's not efficient in that regard either.

    2-3 gigs of libraries a program might not even need. It's just wasted space for an average linux user. And if I was fine with that, I would be using Windows right now.
