That’s true and a bit of a bummer but I think those videos are still great. I don’t care that much who makes them as long as the quality is good.

I have never tried Swisscows but I just want to say that Kagi is fantastic. Absolutely the best search experience I had in years.

You might want to check out fatrace. It can tell you exactly which processes access the given filesystem.

Thanks for the confirmation. I actually considered that I just lost something in translation because of how weird this prompt is. I mean, what did they even try to say?!

Am I misunderstanding something or does this instruction contradict itself? “do not factor in” and then “keeping test scores in mind”.

I don’t think it’s a popular opinion among people who actually use Linux. But I did hear it as an argument against using Linux or an attempt at explanation why it’s not more popular.

I’m all for reducing your phone usage and “living in the moment” but taking photos is actually something I try to do more recently, not less. Obviously, I’m not watching events through the phone screen while filming them, but if something worth remembering happens I will quickly snap a picture first (double press the power button, single press the volume button, done), and then put the phone away and enjoy it.

I realized that going through old photos actually brings me a lot of joy and often reminds me of moments I had completely forgotten. And mind you, I’m only approaching 30, I can only imagine this will be even more important when I’m older.

So yeah, I disagree with this one, but of course I realize this will be different for different people.

Wait, why is this downvoted?

Exposing services to the internet is one thing. The other thing is that without really solid backup strategy you can just lose your files. Both concerns grow even bigger if you’re dealing with not just your own data but also your family’s or friends’. It’s a real responsibility.

I think it would be great if more people got into self-hosting but you really need to learn some stuff before jumping in. A single mistake can cost you a lot.

Yeah, it’s amazing!

For me it makes the text MUCH harder to read. Basically, instead of just quickly “scanning” the text I need to stop and consciously decipher words with this character.

When I read words I know I don’t read them letter by letter, I just recognize the entire “shape” instantly. The thorn throws this mechanism off completely for me.

I don’t like calling them an iditot just because of that but I have to admit I find this incredibly annoying.

I would say it does not. Well, I guess it depends on what you watch. The stuff I subscribe is nothing like TV.

Ah, yes, of course, because kids are usually bullied for a good reason.

No one hangs out with the mean kids and the nice and sensitive ones are universally liked. What a beautiful world we live in.

Yeah, it’s both funny and terrifying how cubicles were a symbol of a dystopia, and now, with open space offices, people would kill for the cubicles.

curl is obviously fantastic but for more complex ad-hoc requests I usually prefer httpie.

Most ebooks I bought recently come with a warning that the buyer’s data is embedded in the file to deter from sharing it online. TBF it cannot be hard to remove it but I didn’t bother to check how it’s implemented.

As a dev, I can feel how much easier to work with the codebase must be after migrating from scattered raw SQL queries to ORM. In my job I have a project with a similar problem and the transition is slowly going on for years at this point, still not close to being finished.

It’s the opposite for me.

I think Linkwarden is fantastic but should be described and advertised more as internet archiving software than a bookmark manager. It really should be obvious to anyone that it’s downloading the webpages, not just saving links. I
