Can you elaborate? Why are people disgusted by Hyprland?

I think if you want to copy a specific selection to a mouse-based, different program then it makes sense to use the mouse for precision selection.

"Bi(e)ber" is German for "Beaver"

For me personally, there is only two applications of LLMs in programming:

• doing tasks I kinda know how to do, but don't want to properly learn (recent example: generate pgf plots from csv data in matplotlib. 90% boilerplate, I last had to do it 3 years ago and vaguely remember some pitfalls so can steer the LLM in that direction. Will probably never again have to do this, so not worth the extra couple hours to properly learn
• things I would ordinarily write a script for, but aren't worth automating because they won't come up in the future again (example: convert this Lua table to a Nix set)

Essentially, one-off things that you know how to check for correctness.

Ah damn it -.-

Too bad, the app is really nice to use :/

It would be if it's a one-time payment, but it's a yearly subscription, and not a cheap one!

I don't think it's unreasonable to want to be paid, but a mandatory subscription when using the most common install method does irk me the wrong way

Just tried it, and it seems you can't edit or add items without a premium subscription??

Or am I missing something?

Edit: Apparently only when installing via the Play Store. Very weird decision.

Ahh those fuckers.

Does anyone have experience with keyguard? From a cursory glance, this + vaultwarden seems like a good alternative...

Especially if you buy access via 2 providers on different backbones. Haven't had a single failed/incomplete download since.

I'm slightly younger than that even, currently finishing up my master's but have been working as a backend dev for a couple of years.

I've learned an order of magnitude more about networking from just being in the vicinity of my girlfriend (who is a network technician) than from uni, and it's definitely already paying off.

+1 from me.

The Shield is a couple years old, but it handles everything you throw at it perfectly.

• get SmartTubeNext to watch YouTube without ads, and it comes with SponsorBlock
• use Flauncher for a home screen / launcher without any ads
• Jellyfin, obviously
• Steamlink also works perfectly
• plus, the remote is amazing (though I would recommend to either disable or rebind the Netflix button)

Maybe. But there are third options as well - maybe if Adobe acts like you describe, and there is sufficient Linux adoption, that opens the door for an actual crossplatform competitor.

Or maybe they change their mind when not doing so costs them money.

The point is to ditch the dependency on a corporate Overlord, not to find a different daddy

No, you are right. In your situation, Linux is just not an option - yet.

I think these posts are meant for the 95% of people that use a browser, and maaaaybe a mail client on their PC.

Photoshop/Illustrator will only ever get ported if enough people have already made the move that Adobe can't afford to ignore Linux any longer.

That being said, if those requirements are just for work, what's keeping you on Windows on your private devices?

IDK. They will certainly be fine here, on earth. Even if everything else goes to shit, they will continue living in luxury.

On a spaceship / station / Mars colony though? As much as I love sci-fi, living there will be ROUGH, regardless of how rich you are.

I think it's more an ego thing: "I want to go down in history as the first human on another planet, lest I be forgotten" combined with an unhealthy dose of not giving a fuck about other people, which is kinda a prerequisite to being a billionaire in the first place.

I dont exactly like passkeys, but yes, from a technical standpoint, they do indeed solve Phishing

Ngl, being able to wear leggins is about 90% of the benefit of SRS for me.

It's been 5 or 6 years, 100% worth it.
