I recently found out that evince works fine with gzipped pdf (although not zstd). pdfgrep doesn't handle that but rga does.

Flash still exists if you want it, it is just called Haxe now. Both major and a number of minor game development platforms can publish to the web. Checking itch.io there were 120 web based games uploaded within the past day (includes upda

I think RAM has been increasing but for the GPU rather than CPU. Also, I think Microsoft isn't quite as bad as Apple at memory usage so it still isn't that easy for a large number of people to really need more than 8GB and for an

I couldn't find FLAD but fakeflac doesn't seem to work, even given actual mp3s it claims they are fine :(. I'm guessing sometimes frequency cutoff is due to using less than ideal microphones, although not the extreme cutoffs

Worse than useless, even if you do check the image they can be MITMed and in no way indicate that you are actually on the site you think you are on (they only help against the lowest effort static phishing sites). US banks decided that the

That is strange now that you mention it, I have a split keyboard and it really should be staggered the other way on the left side but isn't. Also, I think the top row stagger is a bit too large but the bottom row stagger is way too mu

I was wondering what other interpretation there could be. Still, while the translator chose a particularly dry way to put it I see that version as more likely. Putting on particularly tight clothing with any body hair at all tends to rip

I agree that a single file is super convenient. It looks like the in-progress par3 will support that (par3 inside zip, I'd add an mtree file as well for metadata if needed): https://parchive.github.io/doc/Parity_V

Currency conversion is different but I'm not sure if it is necessarily worse with PayPal, although I haven't compared that as closely (I think credit cards often don't give great currency conversion rates either in addition t

For unixy systems zip doesn't have sufficient metadata. I suspect that is almost the entire reason zip isn't used more on such systems. It is still used quite a bit when that doesn't matter.

For some reason hwdec doesn't seem to make much difference for me in terms of power or CPU usage. Also worth mentioning is profile=gpu-hq (can just uncomment in the example config).

I do that with a currently similar size library, although a fair chunk of that is new so maybe more like 5-8k songs that I've usually been listening to, mostly in albums. Maybe more repetition than you, particularly when I first get a
