Does it make sense though? Any USB drive is so super cheap these days, you can easily get something like 128 Gb for $15. Even if you live in an area where it’s not as easy (e.g. not very developed places), you’re likely to find, say, 32 Gb

And you need to select the check box somewhere in the settings app for it to work. Source: helped a friend with the feature recently, he didn’t know it exists.

First time I used it 3 to 4 years ago, it was good.

‘Nearly 20 years’ got me. I thought ‘no way, the very first iPhone was released a little bit more than 10 years ago and Android was released a year after’. Then I realised we’re closer to 20 years than we’re to 10 years. It was almost 17 ye

I could say the same things, but at some point I realised that for me the less the interface the better. And Linux is so very good at it.

Thanks, I thought whether I want ReMarkable or iPad 12.9 for reading PDFs. I had this the biggest iPad back in the days it was introduced, but gave it to a friend as it felt too big for me, and way too expensive for what I wanted from an iP

Personally, I don’t know. Although, a friend of mine does exactly that with his Windows install. The first time he described this to me was like 15 years ago! I never went that way, maybe because I don’t need the exact same system most of t

Yes, there is a way of restoring your packages. Arch has some decent wiki entries for this: - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/migrate_installation_to_new... - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Inst

Not to argue, but the reinstalling part isn’t so difficult these days. I don’t have a current bootable ISO, but I have a bunch of old 8…16 Gb USB drives just for that. Also, there is Ventoy that makes it even easier. So making an installer

Do you keep some notes on the books you read? (I mean online notes here; but if you don’t keep them online, while maintaining the notes, the question is still valid. Maybe you have some system that works for you and you want to share.)

I studied CS in the university and there was that guy who was a computer geek (out of very little among my fellow students), but actually was just your average gamer with close to zero knowledge of anything computer beyond double-clicking t

A real designer can use just one font his entire career and produce amazing results. See Massimo Vignelli.

I’m curious as well, as I missed quite many Gnomes. I used it back in Gnome-2 days, and now it’s 45. I think I accidentally tried it a couple of years back (43, if I’m not wrong) and I like it so much that I use it till this day. Combining

That button makes me consider whether my sway setup is worth it, as sometimes I think Gnome can achieve something similar. And even with less cognitive load, sometimes!

Hmm, the OVMS project looks interesting. But I don’t quite get it, is it kind of OpenWrt project, but for cars? My car has a native support, I see.

The boy is 17. At that age you’re not that overwhelmed with people distracting you for no real reason. (Apart from parents, but that’s not work-related usually.) So you can basically be offline most of the time. I envy that bliss, it’s so d

Well, if you have parents (he definitely has them at 17) or other relatives, you can ask them to host your hardware for some thank you payment (can be just the benefit of having PiHole for free). Or that could be some friend as well.

Sounds really cool! But I have just one question, why not stay for a couple of days in a new place to explore? Maybe he is, but from the article I’ve got an impression he’s on the move every single day. Doesn’t make too much sense, as when

I do the manual mount too! I have /mnt/usb directory and the devices I mount are usually something like /dev/sdb1 on my laptop. So ctrl+r and the command `mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb` is in my history al

FYI, I have just checked, I can open the background app from the notification menu. Gnome 45.4 on Fedora 39.

I myself never add passwords from my mobile, but I use mobile for adding 2FA (scanning QR-code), so my workflow as follows: I make sure I pushed the changes from my laptop/desktop with `pass git push`, then I swipe up on my iPhone, and

But both Android [1] and iOS [2] clients have git functionality built-in. You just swipe it up (for iOS) or press sync (and swipe too, don’t remember if it works on Android) and it syncs. A couple of iOS notes: - The iOS app has a nasty bug

Me too! Count me in! Mandriva was my first ever Linux distro! It was so long ago that I forgot it happened. I came to think that was Ubuntu, but it came after Mandriva and after Ubuntu I was on Debian, of course. Now it’s Arch on my laptop

Unity was till 2017, it states. Hmm, what does Ubuntu use now? It’s not the Gnome I use on Fedora. I don’t like (and use) Ubuntu, so I was under impression that it uses Unity to this day.

>Gnome's future looks even more Phone/Tablet oriented [link] Well, that looks very opinionated to me. And I have an impression that opinion is from someone quite far from being competent on UI matters. I see it — the background

As a decade old macOS user, I agree. I don’t want to use macOS after Gnome. I like the new one. It’s 45 now, but I think the major update was either 44 or 43.

How can I use it on my mobile? I don’t understand. Should I have Linux or is it for Android as well?

by walteweiss 3y ago
Why not sync it via git? It’s way better, imo.

What do you mean? In which use case? I use Pixelmator Pro exclusively for years now, and I don’t need Photoshop, it’s just an abomination to me.

Yeah, except it’s not slides. It’s a virtual canvas and there is no reason in the whole world for it to behave like it’s something physical, when it’s not. It makes zero sense, there shouldn’t be any checkbox in the first place. Just make i
