Love the CEO sketches! And they’re not even in the top five things Brennan has done, probably!

If you’re a little clever with interpolation, you don’t need to run at 1000s of frames per second! You’d just calculate how much time after the last frame it would take to cross the line at the last known speed and position.

You’re right-- I am in the States, but your input is still welcome!

I don’t have an Awesome Socks subscription, but I do have a Sun Basin Soap one with good.store! I like Daydreamer, even though it sorta reminds me of allspice (and therefore chicken).

Snaps are a relatively recent way of packaging application installations in certain flavors of Linux. Steam is Valve’s game distribution platform (amongst other things).

There’s an unofficial Snap package to install Steam and it apparently doesn’t work so good

Thanks for the input, all! I’ve had a bunch of the more ‘obvious’ ones down, but there are a few that I hadn’t heard of (like CASA and Feeding America, who I have ‘equivalents’ to but will likely diversify out to), or hadn’t thought to contribute to (Propublica, UNHCR). Good stuff, everybody.

Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and capitalist hardware.

Fire at will, commander.

On the other hand… Super Duper Key.

Multiple monitors, touch screens, tablet digitizers remain a letdown constantly. Not always fully broken, but falling just short enough that actually fixing it is a pain and just living without the feature (or Linux) is easier.

Despite being an ECE major, I didn’t really bother doing anything with Linux until two things happened at the same time:

1. I started having to work in several different build environments that were just easier to set up in Linux
2. I started running Minecraft servers/doing server modding (starting back in the days of Hey0’s server mod and carrying up through Bukkit).

I wouldn’t call myself an evangelist at all. If you’re doing something that I think will be specifically easier to do in Linux (mostly servers and specific kinds of software development), I’ll point out how… but I find that a lot of people’s advice on “use Linux and X FOSS tool” ends up being akin to giving someone bike shopping advice on which welding torch to use to construct their bicycle frame.

I’ve moved to Ubuntu after getting burned pretty badly with CentOS’s getting mistreated and eventually killed. Ubuntu feels stable enough, both in terms of their updates/quality and in terms of their corporate proceedings (such that I won’t get absolutely blasted by mandatory repos being closed down, for example).

I’ve had an impressively easy time finding particular messages as long as I had a decent idea of what servers it might have been in and at least one of the following:

• Who said it
• To whom it was said
• At least a word that was likely said

Which has been way better than most other things I’ve bothered to search through like Reddit, Beehaw, or Mastodon (especially when it was limited entirely to hashtags). Lord help me if I want to find a particular post or comment on TikTok or Youtube.

First time encountering one! I’m almost impressed how you can write about something as technical as Linux in the writing style and cadence of shady medical supplement ads for the elderly, including bolded accusatory questions and poorly-supported italic statements placed mid-sentence.

The chorus is weirdly popular/easy to teach to cockatiels, so I started mushing them together a couple years ago.

I always sort of read those jokes as illustrative as GLaDOS being a bad person fielding weak material more than like, an earnest expression of the game writer’s values. Like, the game itself doesn’t present the remarks themselves as funny so much as GLaDOS being rude, snippy, and actively incorrect given that Chell is mega-fit.

Thanks! Yeah, it looks like it covers T-mobile minus the GHZ/ mmWave bands, which is good for me. A solid consider, especially if they (eventually) drag it over to the states like the Fairphone 5.

Their website doesn’t seem to specify which GSM bands it has (simply “More Bands and Band-Combinations for better reception”). I want to know how much of a given provider’s spectrum I’d be missing out on trying to sneak one of these to the states.

There’s an irony to comparing it to a Lovecraftian tale, considering how racist the guy was, and how his stories allegorically supported racism.

Ooh, nice. I hope this means Boost for Lemmy’s release isn’t that far behind!

People have mentioned most of the good ones (Scrivener, Resolve, Steam, Discord), but I must grudgingly nod to OneNote.

There are competitors in the note-taking space, yes, but none of them get handwriting down like OneNote has for 15+ years, now.

The Pokemon go plus+ (yes it’s two pluses) is a little device, sorta like a flattened PokeBall, rather than a service.
