I’m not sure how underrated it is but the exec feature in find is so useful, there are so many bulk tasks that would just be incredibly difficult otherwise but instead are just one line

Interesting, I would absolutely hate using something like that for actual use but it does seem like it could be useful for like demonstrations and documentation

They’re always talking about “protect the children” so they’ll definitely 100% care about this because they definitely don’t just say that because they’re homophobic and transphobic

If it’s after something like a concert it’s people catching the leftover sound waves from the music in their hands so they can take them home and keep them

One of my friends with a similar list of skills on indeed got an email from them asking him to apply to be a bikini model

A customizable shortcut key would be so good. I’ve tried to set that up on my own to be alt because that’s what Haiku uses but it’s just impossible to get very many applications to follow it. Probably there’s no way to consistently do it without getting every application to follow some standard for determining what it should be.

If you want a coherent motif-ish theme, NsCDE is amazing. It themes like everything in the world and is honestly like the most consistent looking desktop I’ve ever used

They may not have realized it, but until UEFI-only computers started becoming common, people mostly were still effectively drawing the line at IBM compatibility

What’s the fundamental difference between an Intel Macbook and my old 2018 Lenovo laptop? Either of them can run modern Windows, Linux, whatever. For most modern uses, they’re basically equivalent. The one thing that makes the Lenovo different though is its firmware. The Lenovo has BIOS support and the Mac doesn’t.

If you then add my current Framework laptop, which is UEFI-only, to the comparison though, it gets kind of fuzzy. It’s clearly not a Mac, but what is there to really define it as a PC? It can’t run MacOS, but that doesn’t really work to separate it because plenty of PCs can run MacOS. It’s not made by Apple, but if that’s all it takes then is a Chromebook or one of the Talos POWER workstations a PC too? It’s kind of hard to say the Framework is a PC without including so many other things that the term PC kind of loses all meaning.

I think the term PC has just outlived its usefulness and we need to move on to saying more specific things than that to describe computers. In most modern contexts, all that matters is what architecture a computer is and what operating systems will run on it, and PC just isn’t really a great term to convey that information anymore.

I hate how microsoft seems to think they own the term PC now and it can mean anything they want. Some of the “Copilot+ PCs” they’re advertising on things like this have ARM CPUs which means they aren’t PCs. I would even argue that a lot of x86 computers aren’t PCs now because they only support UEFI booting so aren’t PC compatible. They need to just call them computers or come up with a new term

If you’re using plasma you can just do meta+shift+print screen or meta+r to screenshot a region

It could be the silhouette of a sunbeam radiant control toaster

A little ziplock bag full of nipple clamps

There’s a differently shaped cartridge with the same art in this photo so it’s probably from something made by the same company https://www.deviantart.com/pokemonosterfanzg/art/My-Famiclone-Keyboard-Console-427590982

Do NOT give the carrot industry that idea

Maybe like nonreligious christian? I feel like the word christian doesn’t inherently imply actual religion even though it’s usually used that way, the same way identifying as a satanist can mean many different things. I’m neither a theologist nor a linguist though so maybe everything I said is nonsense

I say you’ve won an operating system once you’ve contributed code that got into its kernel

Yeah but I bet google’s one will have lots of cool features like being harder to use and not supporting becoming root and requiring google play services for no discernable reason

I tried searx for a while but, at least with the instance I used, the results were awful quality and there were a lot of reliability issues. Do you have an instance recommendation?

We need someone to write down a step by step explanation of whatever the cycle of masturbation is

For text editing, kate is really good and has like zero learning curve and it has tons of features like really good lsp integration but can also just be a normal text editor if you don’t want all the fancy stuff.

(But also I promise learning vim isn’t as hard as you think it is, you can learn the basics in like an hour or two and there are so many things it makes so much easier than other editors)
