I did.

Hardware is amazing. I broke the screen after a month (my fault) and the replacement part was official, 40 €, and literally 3 minutes of repair time, no glue, no fancy equipment needed.

BUT Software support is non-existent. Not even security updates. Seems like this is something typical for Unihertz, which is really sad because these guys would become top sellers if they opened up for community contributions to software (Lineage OS or something), because, as I said, hardware is excellent and fairly repairable.

Most “normal” programs use some “abstraction” libraries, so the programmer doesn’t need to know which platform it is running on. This “platform” is important because it is the layer that actually talks to things like your SSD, RAM, GPU, etc.

Videogames, tho, are very very specific programs that really benefit from very optimized code, so some of these “abstraction” libraries simply will be worked on for a specific operative system.

Thankfully, the people from the WINE project and lots of work from Valve themselves have made it possible to “trick” these libraries into thinking they are talking to Windows. It’s not perfect, tho, so some stuff is still not working, but you’d be surprised how much we’ve got already. Check out the ProtonDB project.

I find it funny when people around me think I am a computer expert and I just tried to read this and couldn’t comprehend sh*t.

I knowwww

Please ActivityPub federation in Forgejo!!

How does it hold up against Ardour?

Yes, actually, one of the preinstalled themes is activated. Normally you have to pick the option that says something along the lines of “don’t use themes” inside Tools/Preferences/LibreOffice/Application_Colors or something (depends on the language). That would make the desktop theme apply properly over LibreOffice.

You might need to reboot LibreOffice to see the changes take effect.

Been using BTRFS since I learned I could squeeze more data on my cheap-ass drive and… It’s been 3 years, no problem at all, and I have backups anyway.

Minor upgrades don’t usually come to Debian at all, unless they are fixing some critical vulnerability or something, but that is usually patched over the previous version anyway.

I’m a cheap guy, and honestly I got the cheapest Kindle (I believe 2022) and I’ve been reading books from Calibre without issues.

No other e-reader was as cheap as that, and it… Just works.

Finding activities and hobbies that align with your values and make you groe.

Yes, mindless hobbies are also fine, but for me, participating in local FOSS communities and the like makes it a very fulfilling activity, and a way to learn more things.

The Hyperloop still hasn’t happened in an age where we can grab rockets from the sky.

It was just a great idea to stop development of high-speed rail so cars could still make sense for longer.

Hopefully USA seems to be realising already: https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/22/hyperloop-one-elon-musk-high-speed-rail/

😅 thank you!! Following ISO 8601 is always appreciated.

Another week, another incorrect weekday format.

It’s 2024-W39, you are welcome.

What is up with all of you people complaining about chargers not included? Don’t you already have like 3000 at home?

It is one of the few decisions that Apple did that were completely right.

Also the complaint about “price was still the same without the charger” is useless, they’ve increased prices forever, it’s not about the charger.

Move on, people.

Edit: some grammar, and also some disagreements without actual answers. I’d really like to know why you’d get angry at less trash in the world.

But Wayland is waaay better than X in basically everything? Performance and security are simply in another league entirely. And these 2 are the most important factors.

The rest of the “features” will be eventually there. In fact, mostly are there already. I’ve been using Wayland 2 years without issues. The important thing is that now the sofware is solid, the code is clean and the performance is amazing. Growing from there will be so much better than from X11.

I think the standard is ~/.local/bin, for the people that like standards.

It’s in the official docs for zoxide, you are supposed to use the z alias, and many distros just set it up directly like that. I love doing z notes from wherever I am.

You’ll love zoxide then.

I don’t think the author will see this but the proper way is 2024-W38.

Always follow the ISO8601.
