Someone found a way to weaponise bikeshedding.

Everyone just confirming aliteral’s point.

I never said I don’t enjoy spicy food. But it’s so obviously a dick measuring contest for most people. No one talks about how much salt they can “handle”, no one makes fun of people for not being able to stomach a really sweet energy drink. But with capsaicin it’s so prevalent, it’s a whole subculture dedicated to pissing in a line. I mean this whole thread is only popular because the initial proposed underlying thought is “haha, Denmark can’t handle spice”. It’s all very juvenile.

Yeah, I get it. You’re cordless, right?

RaspberryBye.

It’s a dick measuring thing.

Careful using the word efficiency there, as it has a different meaning when talking about solar panels - it indicates how much energy the panel can extract from the light hitting it. The best modern panels you can buy are below 25% efficient, and since these are from the 90s they were probably about half that when new.

For me the year of the Linux desktop was 2014 - it’s when I changed my desktop to Linux after using it on my laptop for a year. All the hardware on that machine has been replaced, but it’s still running the same install from back then.

Well I believe if someone is benefiting from a common good, they should contribute to that good, but maybe I’m not Laissez-faire enough for this world, or “leftymemes”.

I mean that makes sense at least, because otherwise the adjacent neighbours will be having to pay more as they’re still heating their apparent. You do have to make some sacrifices when living in a block, that’s one of them.

As an outsider it’s really annoying when someone just doesn’t understand the reality they find themselves in.

A third party isn’t in the cards, it never is, but it especially isn’t right now. The only way to get a third party elected is to change your voting system, but that’s a process that takes years, decades even. It’s really not as easy as wasting a vote with a third party, it takes a lot more effort. And the only way to start or continue that process right now is to vote Biden because if Trump wins you might not even get another election to vote in.

And Trump has a good chance of winning because the republicans aren’t having such discussions. They know what to do, and come election day they’ll all march in and do their job, like they do every time. Remember that he only won last time because people like you felt icky about voting for Clinton.

If you allow me a moment of catharsis, I’ll just add that if you Americans once again subject the world to more Trump insanity, I really hope you get to feel the worst of it.

The message that we approve of the removal of the headphone jack done in order to peddle wireless headphones…

All public companies are, it’s just what Boeing makes things that fall out of the sky if they mess up, so it’s more obvious.

Just have NAS A send a rocket with the data to NAS B.

There are two ways you can do this on Android currently, but they’re not as quick. You can try to unlock with the wrong finger 5 times and it will stop allowing fingerprint unlocks. Or, you can hold down the power button for 10 seconds and the phone will reboot and also disable fingerprint unlocking.

I remember the clusterfuck that existed before systemd, so I love systemd.

If this was done by multiple people, I’m sure the person that designed this delivery mechanism is really annoyed with the person that made the sloppy payload, since that made it all get detected right away.

Seems to me that a lot of the world’s problems start with “well, the managers think…” They all seem extremely bad at the whole managing thing, good thing we don’t overpay them or anything like that.

TIL there are Linux people that don’t use OpenWRT. I always assumed everyone in the Linux community used it. It’s great.

Works great with mt7621 based routers if anyone ends up looking for something compatible.

I use gnome for the most part. I have been checking out kde recently to see how the newer versions stack up (gave up on it during the 4.0 days). As you mention kde supports dpms changes on wayland because they have their own protocol extension for that.

That’s actually my biggest gripe with wayland - the huge amount of fragmentation it has caused. I’m pretty confident that almost all the missing features I talked about are possible on one or two of the compositors, but not all of them. And definitely not on the one I use. I’m sure once some pragmatism takes hold that all the issues will be ironed out, but my plan for now is to stick to X11 until that happens.
