So much work because most people can’t manage a simple dd-invocation. And because Windows don’t allow direct access to the physical layer from a user-space shell. Such a waste.

Another annoying, possibly less known thing about this popup is that you as a user can disable it. But only if you log in to Google and set a preference for your Google account. No more nagging popups! Sounds great, right? Except Google can

That’s really nice to hear. I just bought a Kobo Libra Colour, knowing up front that the widely mentioned Pocket support now was a dud. As such I had no expectations for such functionality, but maybe I’ll get it anyway. Thanks to everyone i

I guess a significant difference is than 4chan is fully public. Whatever anyone says there can be observed by anyone and refuted by anyone. You can’t secretly slander anyone there. What happened on the tea app were probably not knowable, ob

I'm going to call good old "supply & demand" at this. There was a demand for information, and people made websites to make that information easily accessible. The market was working. Then cheap/free hosting combined

Just upgraded my laptop the other day. sway and/or libinput now supports mouse-pad gestures so you can configure tjree-finger swiping between workspaces. Very much appreciated.

So if you've imported pytest and want to run it, you can’t just «uv run pytes», but have to create a script with a uv-shebang which runs pytest for you? And how does that work on Windows, which to my knowledge doesn’t even support sheb

For those not into the lingo, Tramp is the Emacs module/package responsible for allowing you to transparently work on remote files and host in your local editor in a way I haven’t seen any other software do. And yes, it’s really neat.

As someone who recently set up something similar in Emacs with eglot I had to ditch Python-LSP-server. It was so incredibly slow to respond, even on a M2 Max MBP, that it lowered my productivity by orders of magnitudes (and made Emacs laggy

We are talking about a stage 3 bootloader which supports booting from encrypted volumes and ZFS snapshots. JSON-support would be adding 0.001% extra to the overall package.

Are you saying you think the semantics of that is anywhere near worth a billion dollar fine? When the changes were clearly communicated, and reported on by the press! In that case, what about the CSAM problem on the Meta-owned platforms? Ho
