I usually make do with `man` pages for C (very comprehensive), and the `python-docs` package in my distro (you can download a static copy of the python documentation, and even the search will work offline). As well as whatever PDF manuals I

I used to commute 1h40m one way, which accounted for 50mins in a train (+10min avg waiting). While I ususally did pull out my laptop, the productivity just wasn't there - I can't consistently work while groggy/vitamin-d defic

Of course not, but unlike chat services, everyone has an email address or phone number, so if I need to reach out to them for something other than a casual chat, e.g. an invitation, a birthday felicitation, or a document that they should re

This post is AI sludge and by the third bullet list I couldn't keep reading. This is stuff I deeply resonate with but jesus christ please respect my time and don't drown me in extremely verbose prose goop.

This app's killer feature for me is that it's actually available on F-Droid, unlike its upstream. Happy user for many years now, thanks for the support!

For some of us software freedom enthusiasts it is worth noting that PebbleOS contains some proprietary blobs for some peripherals in the watch[1]. This is not just firmware you upload to the peripheral but also properietary .a libraries tha

You have never tried to teach kids, smartphone-natives, to use a desktop, have you? The "new user" demographic has shifted from "been taught how to use windows" to "has maybe used an ipad". The classic start me

I'm not sure why the author counts microG as "appeasing google". microG is a full, open source reimplementation and won't send any data to google (or anyone else) unless you specifically enable the parts of the API that

Firefox remains very conservative on enabling modern features on X11. Some distributions force them on, but otherwise it's up to the user to figure out how to do that. It's likely that some hwaccel flag in about:config wasn't

Wouldn't it make sense to wait for (or support) one of the rust-for-GCC ports to become viable? As far as I understand, rust in the kernel won't become mandatory either until it's supported by GCC, and as a boon, with multipl

It still exists, and it's gotten way more reliable than in years of yore. Check out ameliorated, and its derivative projects, reviOS and Atlas OS. There's also projects that modify a system less deeply, like Sophia Script. These d

This. The best I've ever achieved is maybe 15 puzzles on one year, with gaps for the days I missed. And this was when the puzzles were incrementally building upon implementing a bytecode interpreter, which was relatively little work pe

The branding does a major disservice to this application - it works like a charm on my windows and i3wm setups, having no trouble sharing a clipboard and files. There are very few features if any that only work on KDE. Sometimes on windows
