I have a Lenovo ThinkBook with the 27c6:550a for which I used https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libfprint-2-tod1-goodix which worked for me. They downloaded the driver from Lenovo's support page. How are these dr

Can confirm. I speak 3 languages (A (English), B (my mother tongue) and C). For most of my life I monologued in some combination of A and B. When I was a NEET for a couple years it was mostly in A because I spent most of my time on the inte

>The Instagram appeals process is to email them a selfie, holding a piece of paper with the current date and something else written on it. Do they also ask you to put a shoe on your head?

>Does anyone know why the leaves are initially so dark and then become lighter? Is that common in plants? From what I've seen it's common in at least a subset of plants, that fresh leaves have a very distinctive red-ish colour.

I don't know what a self-hosted service that lets every user have power over the instance would look like, but the original argument was that IRC gives you ownership over your own server. Hell, the "no say over the owner" arg

Most wikis or resource/documentation sites have a local search bar on their homepage, Firefox has a feature where it lets you add a search keyword for that specific site. So if you add, say, pydocs as a keyword for docs.python.org you

That's not what parent said at all, if anything he meant the very opposite. He was just suggesting missing features. The site is a nice tiny project but it's not what you'd expect when you think of making websites from paper,

That saying is meant for commercialized products obviously. But it's still kind of true if you stretch it to FOSS software, the allegory would be that you pay for it with your time (by fixing/bringing attention to bugs) rather tha

Youtube Shorts is just a frontend, you can watch those videos with the same UI as regular youtube by changing the url from youtube.com/shorts/xyz to youtube.com/watch?v=xyz.

I know devs who do free giveaways through steam keys once in a while so presumably there is a provision in place for that too.

Yep, for me it's this. I don't know why others are complaining about the other way around, maybe it's because I thought of Emacs as being different from other editors right from the get go, but I doubt I've ever accident

Really? If someone asked you if exclamation marks in usernames would cause problems before you were aware of this, would you have said yes? It's a very common special character, it's not like it's a control character or some

Yep, Firefox android is impossible to use if you do anything non-trivial and has so many quirks. It's been over a year since the rewrite so I don't know what they're doing.

Sorry, I didn't mean that in a derogatory way. I just meant twitch users pay for the sake of giving money to their favorite streamers rather than paying for a product. Strip clubs are the first example that came to my mind, bands or co
