I still love notepad++. Basically one of only a handful of apps I miss from when I used Windows. First release about a year before textmate, so for me it's the real og.

I have about the same amount of experience with Linux, more on the tinkering and sysadmin/full stack side than custom building (although of course I have to use custom kernel module loading etc), and I still learn a lot more from resea

The newer questions that LLMs can't answer will be answered in forums - either SO, reddit, or elsewhere. There will be a much higher percentage of relevant content with far fewer new pages regurgitating questions about solved problems.

Because having so many unsolvable problems would be an extreme edge case (if you had one, it would be much more likely a bug than a basket full of what you are calling unsolvable problems), and there are a lot of bad setting recommendations

It would be close to impossible to demonstrate loss, which is always highly relevant in copyright suits (not a lawyer, but I have scanned and digitized hundreds of thousands of pages at https://CatholicLibrary.org and read up on

I haven't dealt with this for her in a few years, but basically: Pin all their apps in favorites and they will persist through updates. Updates don't overwrite desktop shortcuts either (although like other os, a couple might be ad

Try OnlyOffice. It is more polished than Libreoffice and can sign pdfs.

I recently installed Debian instead of Ubuntu on my laptop. Although I recognize many of your problems as "you need to know the right way to configure that or it's super annoying" - which sucks but is not impossible to overco

I had my 80 year old mom on Linux Mint for 15 years, from about 62-78, and she didn't even know it. She tried to show me her Windows with exactly one problem 15 years in, and I was present with the Mint boot screen. Problem at that poi

If it's not niche service, it won't be what you are looking for. The best thing is to search for "my travel destination travel agent" and find a local company which is not overly difficult. I have friends who did not eve

What would be incredible amusing would be re-implementing the java api in some other language using only the api documentation. The Supreme Court has ruled that is fair use, so what could possibly go wrong?

People have been speaking too fast in public since the beginning of public speaking. It's just nerves making us press forward too quickly, and sometimes people are worried it will be too boring if they speak slowly. I was taught to spe

AppleTV is pretty random and only vaguely incidental to the solution. Tailscale runs on computers. Basically anything will do. If you don't have a home server, just grab a cheap RPi or an old laptop. Or in a pinch drop it onto an old p

I just download the extension file, check it out, and install it locally. No worries about future updates until something breaks (doesn't tend to happen).

That might be the how, but the because/why is that a company is arbitrarily enforcing horrible design decisions by many websites that force users to use specific browsers, and penalize/cripple those who try to work around such non

From google's perspective it operates as a botnet consuming their resources and creating doubt as to the validity of their product among advertisers (disclaimer: I am not defending their business at all). That's the goal, but cos

In an alternate reality where tracking was 100% illegal all the time, would the ad revenue come closer to say 90%, with perhaps 10% choosing another medium altogether? These studies by ad companies seem to always presume their own perfect

In this context I am talking about laptops and chargers, which are far less interchangeable. Phones are generally easy, but I would not trust my crappy dell charger to charge my phone without damaging it. What is the saying? In theory, theo

Dell, they are not wonderful. I have one on a book because it can't sit on the carpet. The other one overheats no matter what, and I have to unplug it for a couple minutes every few hours or it angrily flashes at me and stops charging.
