They had to stay under the amount that requires them to pay severance, I think it’s 500?

Superman knew what ass he was grabbing

I think I saw something recently about the cursor getting some tweaks in Wayland, I think KDE was working on it? Not sure if it’ll help this kind of stuff but they’re trying to standardize the cursor a bit better

TIL there’s a name for this. This has been one of my bits for years

Using this low of a contrast (dark red on dark background) is criminal. Maybe my eyes are just that bad but good lord those notes are hard to read

I think you misread both the question and how they used ChatGPT Mr Bash Wizard

Makes sense; one of the big things about it that interests me is the dockerfile generation. Although, I should probably get a better understanding of dockerfiles themselves before jumping into that; I have a habit of forgetting the order of carts and horses

I wanna get into Nix but I keep bouncing off the documentation every time I try to study it

My partner and I stopped into a liquor store down the street, and he asked for a specific drink he likes. They said “we don’t carry that, do you live nearby?” We told em we were just up the hill and the mfer ordered them on the spot so they could stock it for us

I’m not entirely sure if it uses Unicode, ASCII or something else…

I think I remember Automate the Boring Stuff with Python explaining that python uses ASCIIbetical order, but it’s been a minute since I read that book

Beeper + a python script could get this done

Anecdotally, the majority of people I’ve seen who self host are doing it to replace subscription services. This ranges anywhere from piracy to libre office. So, they’re not gonna pay you a subscription for something they can do themselves.

The audience is niche because you’re aiming at a subset of a subset of a subset of people. You’re looking to sell this to someone who:

1. Doesn’t want to pay for a service they can do by themself (self-hosters)
2. Has the knowledge and desire to handle networking (no amount of preconfiguration will make them not have to set up which ports their services need while allowing freedom)
3. But doesn’t have the time/energy to do it themself
4. Can afford to shell out a rather large amount of money ($150 is a lot to many people, and as the other person brought up; you’ll likely end up selling it for much more than this after manufacturing costs)
5. For a piece of equipment that is eclipsed by a 3 year old desktop computer from eBay

The amount of people who self host anything is already abysmally low - just look at the social media user count. There are more than twice as many people on r/pathofexile (which is already pretty niche) as on r/selfhosted. Obviously reddit isn’t the end-all be-all of representation in that way, but you can definitely get an idea of trends from it.

I’ve never been to Italy, but my cousin grew up there for part of their childhood. They said “Italians invented pizza, America made it good”

Yeah, my partner has to explain to me what the difference is between two drinks at least once a month. I just know I like the sweet ones and hazelnut goes good with most of em

As an american, the amount of people who refuse to accept that American Propaganda exists is staggering. I had an immediate reaction to seeing “China is good though” and I have no way of knowing if it’s justified because I’ve been my told my entire life that China is an evil shithole by American propaganda.

To take it a step further and say “America doesn’t have your best interest at heart” is deeply unsettling to the vast majority of Americans who blindly hand away their freedoms in the name of Freedom. Wait until people find out that our country is just like all the ones we’re taught to hate

GPU doesn’t work after being reconfigured

“I made modifications to my system and broke it”

Syncing files between devices is always a struggle

Syncthing?

Never know what will break when updating

Read your updates before you do them?

Bluetooth and scaling are not issues I’ve ever run in to, but I can’t say they’re not common.

Basically, this whole post reads as “I messed with things that I didn’t properly understand and I’m blaming my computer for doing what I told it instead of what I wanted”

Mullvad is cool, but I really like Proton. Different strokes

You can actually, and I would suggest, grab a fresh Fedora install that comes with either of those DEs. If you don’t wanna do that, I would suggest at least making a new user so that the gnome stuff isn’t crowding your new life
