my .plan is stored in my neurobiological stsd (soft-tissue-state drive) unencrypted (it’s safer than you might think, modulo physical torture it’s rather hard to hack it). and yes, it does go along the same lines as OPs except it includes more violence and (m)(b)illionaires hung like Christmas tree decorations. it also has a separate rolling section which I pull daily which includes taking pills so the long-term one doesn’t get executed prematurely.

re: Medium I was genuinely curious why people use it, thanks for the clarification.

still as someone who writes only open source codes, it goes a bit against my religion, but I totally understand if your income depends on it! thanks for the text, and for the “friend link”. as promised… ; )

a slightly unrelated question. do the authors at least get paid for posting things on Medium? if not, why do that? I’m unironically curious. it’s a bad platform no matter how you look at it: it’s closed for unregistered readers, it’s typesetting sucks ass… the only reason I could see, is if the authors actually get some of the ad revenue, in which case I’d much rather pay directly to the authors.

whoever says pacman is enough either have all the time in the Universe to configure the miniscule knobs or have never done serious development with multi-platform/compiler deployments. controlling which compilers are used for which packages in pacman (or any other default package manager for that matter) is a headache. having multiple versions of non-conflicting gcc, llvm, cuda etc is priceless and very easy with brew.

elitism aside, brew is genuinely a good package manager when it comes to imperative ones. I still use it on my desktop arch extensively. ofc, if you have nix, there is really no good reason for it (and I’m not even sure it’s possible).

PS. “but you can use docker” – not if you want to have the same performance especially on GPUs. also have you ever tried containerizing HIP? it’s a frigging nightmare.

PPS. if you disagree with the first paragraph – please reach out or send links. i’d love to learn how to do these on finite timescales of our lifetime.

run with --password-store=basic flag from the command line. if that helps, simply make a .desktop file with the proper Exec= field. let me know if you need more details.

UPD: just saw there was an earlier response on this! hope that helped.

Maybe. In any case I try to never infer someone’s tone from text interactions since it’s always faulty and lacks human dimension. By default I just assume people actually mean what they write. I think we get (on average) more aggressive, and tend to show less empathy when not talking face to face.

Also… The term “American left-wing” is offensive for a Marxist like myself. :D

Guys, guys… You’re over-ideologizing a very simple humane request. I was asked nicely and respectfully – I tried to respond in the same way. Simple as that. I’m usually not regulating my personal communications with others in terms of laws and amendments.

same here (except it’s waybar in my case) ( :

i really apologize if the use of that word was perceived as offensive, that was obviously not my intent. i’m usually quite straightforward in picking words (i come from a completely different culture, where sexual assaults are extremely uncommon).

PS. for the context of others reading this comment, the original title of this post was: “nmtui that does not rape your eyes.”

for comparison, here’s the default

Yeah, I believe these were one the first retinas with 200+ ppi. Honestly, for a person who spends most of the time staring at a code or a text, hidpi is basically a necessity for me at this point. So the fact that slack or vscode had such a bad support for fractional scaling is a huge deal for me. (Wayland fixes this in some instances as I mentioned)

At first it was the former, then the latter. )

Well in that sense Macs aren’t too different from any other laptop. HDMI worked just fine. I was also trying to connect a USB-C monitor through an HDMI adapter, which didn’t quite work, but I think that might be the case with other laptops too (it’s probably a driver issue). From the desktop experience point of view, KDE handles multi monitor flawlessly, can’t think of any complaints.

Like the other reply suggests: look up which drivers you got (mainly the wlan, bluetooth and the camera), and see if WL or facetimehd support those. It wasn’t that much of a pain with the drivers though. Also, find out whether you have the “over the internet recovery”. If not, I would probably avoid deleting the recovery partition, and opt for a dual boot (or manual partitioning).
