I’m pretty sure that and uninstalling it in your phone should do the trick. The scary part is that your boss can question why you are the only one without location info.

Just by reading the title, I’m sold! This should be very useful specially if you are not using a desktop environment that manages the default apps. I always alias open to xdg-open, it’s so useful to open a file directly from the terminal.

I do! I even miss it when I use other systems. I just think the original problem could be fixed for people that does not know about the shortcut.

If this is real, best of luck to get your data back. So many companies are operating with basically no support nowadays, so for the end user you just hope everything works perfectly (until it doesn't). I don't even blame the bots,

It also instigates people to look at the worst in others. Don't think about pink elephants!

Xfce is just ridiculous, it has 1px thin area to grab, and last time I checked they just mentioned you should use alt right click instead.

I like to use monitors for a very long time, knowing it will have burn in and lower brightness over time does not sit well with me. I had a phone with the burger menu of AnkiDroid permanently burned in, I am trying to stick to IPS screens a

Interestingly I have not noticed ads on Perplexity yet, but it could be due to a number of reasons including using ublock and not being located in the US. Kagi seems more appealing to me in the way they do business, but I got a free year an

As a side effect of owning a GBC since I was 12, I can hear this gif! Over 20 years later, the atomic purple now looks a bit yellowish, and I had to replace the polarizer at some point due to UV damage, otherwise still working perfectly fin

Any suggestions for local business? Things that operate only within a specified area. Google worked well for those.

Another mistake is that they had a significant presence in Brazil through Orkut, but they didn’t bother to integrate and migrate the users in. Orkut’s user base was already degraded through Facebook but it was not inexistent, as some featur

How about measuring voltage across the strip and modeling the system resistance (per meter)? You can measure the voltage where you are observing problems to understand your margins. Your solutions are sound, you just need to throw in some m

People will suggest what works for them, sometimes it will apply, often it will not. You have to find what works for you, and maybe multiple times because once you graduate, you will find yourself back in the same situation. The best sugges

Is there a difference from 2024? Is the M2 still a good choice for Linux? I don’t mind older generations, I’m used to be a bit behind in terms of hardware as a tradeoff for good Linux support. I used to enjoy the X line of ThinkPads but now

Would a child have access to a paid VPN like Mullvad anyway, I wonder. If they ban OpenVPN and WireGuard through what I can only think is something akin to the great firewall of China, then what is the next step, making ssh -D unlawful? May

That’s nice, I once ended up alone around New Year, a mix of being far away from family, busy with studies and not actively asking people around to join their events due to being shy. One of my friends that lived nearby spotted me walking a

The article started well until it changed from "you" to "I". After that, it felt like a mix of bragging and trying to sell a book. I think its OK if some people don't get to live their dream jobs, some dreams have n

Being through the game recently, I am not surprised Goldenrod Underground was a challenge, it is very confusing and even though I solved it through trial and error, I still don't know what I did. Olivine Lighthouse is the real surprise

Password auth being enabled is also very brave. I don’t think fail2ban is necessary personally, but it’s popular enough that it always come up.

Firefox may say they will not block anything and still end up adopting something like Manifest v3. Android blocking side loading is more or less in the same ballpark.

Would they detect this if the attackers just silently keep leaking the information, as opposed to go destructive about it?

I think the overall idea is good. If the cards are identified in the database as their hashes, wouldn’t editing the content reset all repetition data so far? Anyone here has been using FSRS long enough to have comments about its effectivene

I think it’s a matter of scale, you can create hundreds of cards in a few minutes with LLMs, and then delete a third later during learning. It depends on the nature of what’s being learned. For language learning for example this is very eff

Did you know there is a limit on how many highlights you can record? It is a setting in the DRM of Kindle books. If you are reading a book with DRM, marking things and planning to load them into SRS later, take care as it silently stops sav

It could be sold without any dedicated software, and let the community come up with the interface. Just an LVDS display that fits a widely available Thinkpad would do it.

I’d really like a Linux laptop with an e-ink screen. I’m well aware of the downsides. It seems Android tablet with a keyboard or Windows laptop with double screen exist but to live with the limitations of such a screen, nothing would top ha
