I reject your reality and substitute my own!

Soccer is amazing innit?

There are plenty of people who believe the propaganda that Bin Salman sells. This is much harder to refute, even for them.

Epstein had a very casual photo of the two of them together, almost like old buddies. That’s the crucial bit I believe.

I’m worried some might not get this joke

Donations can be subscriptions though. Netflix isn’t a donation because I’m not “donating” to anything. With Hyprland, I would be donating to the project while receiving some perks in return. I wouldn’t subscribe even if I was using Hyprland on a daily basis but the fact that I have the choice to donate if I wanted to doesn’t bother me in the slightest.

An interesting use case for me in programming has been prototyping. Stuff I otherwise wouldn’t have the time to experiment with suddenly becomes something feasible. And then, based on what I learnt while having the AI build the prototype, I can build the actual thing I want to build. So far, it has worked out pretty nicely for me.

Nushell?

What Google’s response actually looks like:

It sounds like there might be a misunderstanding about how foldable phones work!

Foldable phones are not inflated. They are highly sophisticated electronic devices with a flexible screen and a complex hinge mechanism that allows them to bend or fold.

Here’s how they generally work:

• Flexible Display: Unlike traditional smartphones with rigid glass screens, foldable phones use flexible OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) or AMOLED displays. These displays are built on a plastic or polyimide substrate, which is much more flexible and can bend without breaking.
• Hinge Mechanism: This is a crucial component. Manufacturers like Samsung, Google, Huawei, and others have developed intricate hinge designs (often involving multiple interlocking gears) that allow the phone to fold and unfold smoothly and precisely. The hinge is designed to be durable and withstand thousands of folds.
• Software Optimization: The operating system (usually Android) is optimized to adapt to the different screen states. When the phone is folded, it functions like a compact smartphone. When unfolded, the software seamlessly adjusts the interface to take advantage of the larger, tablet-like screen, enabling multitasking and enhanced viewing experiences.
• Materials: While the core display is flexible, manufacturers often use ultra-thin glass (UTG) or specialized flexible plastic layers on top for improved scratch resistance and a more premium feel.

So, to be clear, you don’t “inflate” a foldable phone like a balloon. You simply unfold it to reveal the larger screen, and fold it back up for a more compact form factor.

Well that was a depressing read

Unfortunately, the last panel isn’t happening in real life

There are pretty much no support systems in place for situations like this in most places. So, exile can mean starvation and more where I’m from. I don’t know about where OP is from though.

Nix is a great suggestion and I think i will be using it moving forward as well. Thanks. Ideally I want to use NixOS, do you know if secure boot is still a pain point with NixOS?

npm is JS-specific

What’s a good package manager right now for stuff like this if i don’t want to use the distro package manager though? I want up to date versions of these tools, ideally shipped by the devs themselves, with easy removal and updates. Is there any right now? I think Homebrew is like that? But I wish it didn’t need creating an entire new user and worked on a user account basis.

In an ideal world, i would want to use these tools in such a way that I can uninstall them, including any tool data (cache, config, etc), and update them in a reliable manner. Most of these tools are also hellbent on creating a new “.<tool-name>” folder or file in the home folder ignoring the XDG spec.

A good chunk of the population did.

Not true. Without the workaround, they make it impossible to move forward with installation without a network connection.

Yeah, it’s probably misreporting and probably also, “well they have a tiny hut for all members of the family in this god forsaken village while being stuck in eternal poverty, but that’s enough to call it a house”

From everything I’ve read, it seems they didn’t actually reduce quality and it’s just placebo from the introduction of the premium bitrate option.

This sounds like a driver issue or something if all desktops are breaking for you. Have you tried reporting it anywhere?
