Not here, no. Updates don't work (a year-old Nokia). I used F-Droid to install Hacker's Keyboard and some FTP server. Both programs still work, but when F-Droid tries to upgrade anything it hangs for a while and then displays so

Nobody needed generic API tokens for PyPI either. Not now, not years ago. The problem isn't a technical one. The problem is that when a company / government body hears that the "official way to do X is Y", they'll

Idk... reading on a phone experience is so awful, I never really wanted to read anything there anyways. Every now and then I need to fight one or the other proprietary jail on the phone to get essential services to work. Like Google Play

Oh, so this is where the idea of signing Python packages with GitHub Actions comes from... From the bottom of my heart, I wish only the worst things for you in your programming career. Yes, I know that it's still possible to publish p

In Hebrew there's a dual beside singular and plural. It's used for things / body parts that come in twos, like legs, pants, scissors etc. Typically, these same nouns don't have a proper plural form, or the plural form

I vote this the best proof. All you need to know to understand it is to know how multiplication, addition and exponentiation works. You could probably show this to a child in a sixth grade or so, and have them understand it. This is real

I work in a company that creates (admittedly crappy) product for sysadmins (I have no say in design though, so don't blame that on me). I work in the infra / automation, so close to sysadmin, but not quite. So, this isn't

On search and editing system unit files: 1. My life improved a lot after I found that you can do "systemctl status $PID" and systemd will find what service (if any) is responsible for the process in question. This has been a li

In my experience, most of the times a service fails, it fails on startup (misconfiguration, missing resources). So the status is OK. Also, you can always request more lines, if you think that's helpful. This wouldn't be my proble

That's unsettling :( My son is in second grade now, so I haven't been exposed to the middle school realities yet. Thanks for the warning!

This is not why humility is considered a virtue. That's not at all how virtues work. In general, in ethics, there are schools of thought that try to derive ethics from the idea that particular behavior is beneficial to someone /

I don't insinuate otherwise. It doesn't matter how much they tried. The way forward is to keep trying.

Your argument is similar to burning the house down, once you discover that you don't like the couch in the living room. Or, more realistically, arguing against taxation based on the idea that rich people avoid being taxed anyways, and

The fact that you don't personally meet with "average" people isn't the point. The point is that they exist, and they affect your existence, and they will not and cannot be made to disappear. The "average" pe

You missed the point: if you don't like how school work today, you need to improve the schools. If you are saving yourself, especially before helping others (because you have the means that others probably don't), you are the bad

This isn't a new conundrum. This was a very contentious question in the end of the 19th century, where French mathematicians clashed with the German mathematicians. Poincare is known for describing proofs as texts intended to convinc
