I’m gonna chalk it up as yet another problem with Firefox Mobile. I really want to like it, but it doesn’t make it easy haha

I’ll probably try again another time on something Chromium-based

My Odyssey G7’s panel also fell off 2 weeks before the end of the warranty.

In addition to that, the Odyssey series also has a weird issue where if certain conditions are met, the entire screen will dip in brightness and display horizontal lines. It’s very distracting. They’re aware of the issue (as many people have reported it) but they aren’t doing anything to fix it. I won’t be buying another.

I filled it all in and the button at the end didn’t work. That’s 20 minutes I’m never getting back :/

Not to mention VSCodium already exists.

Pretty sure that you get the benefit of the doubt if you had a feasible reason for adding/changing something about your food.

For example, you could add a laxative to your food/drink and be totally in the clear as long as you labelled your container with your name and maintain that you’ve been constipated. It’s a totally valid reason, plus it was labelled with your name so there’s no reason for anyone else to be consuming it.

I used to use that for ages, but the constant ads made me uninstall it

Just found this article about it that seems to fundamentally misunderstand it in every single way. I didn’t know it was even possible to be this clueless. Either that, or it’s AI.

When the spacing is tight
and the difference is slight, that’s a moire!

I think they were more likely referring to how when the public eye is on something many companies will start churning out low-effort products to capitalise on the interest. The market would be flooded with cheap and inferior products in that niche, potentially threatening the smaller business that actually cared about making quality products for those hobbyists. I know this won’t apply to every hobby, but there are definitely a number of them that will.

Thor from Pirate Software (a game studio) does this. He has his set up so that if he doesn’t log into a specific server for a year, the source code to his game will be automatically published.

You could do the same thing. Just grab a super cheap server that checks the last login date and sends out emails.

Craving carbs? Nah, you just need nitrogen. Just breathe some air, bro.

What even is that chart?

As someone who tried NixOS recently for the first time, it feels like an uphill battle.

Some immediate concerns I have as a newbie are below. Bear in mind that I’m a single user on a single system.

Organisation is daunting as fuck
Even a relatively simple desktop config seems rather large to me. I expect the complexity of my config to balloon if I were to use this as my primary OS. There seems to be no consensus on how things should be separated.
I’ve heard home-manager is good, but I don’t really get the point of it. What does it achieve for me that editing configuration.nix doesn’t? I’ve yet to find a benefit. It’s just another place to dump endless configs and another command to remember to run.

Installing software feels like the roll of a dice
I installed NixOS to try Hyprland, and their docs say to just use programs.hyprland.enable = true, which I’ve come to learn is a module. But that’s not the only way to install things! You also have system packages and user packages! I just want to install some software, I don’t want to have to look up whether it’s a module or a package every time I want something new. I’m never sure what I should add to which section. No other distro that I know of has this problem! Having 3 different places to add software seems excessive. What am I using? Windows? And now there’s Flakes too. I’m sure they’re great, but right now I just see them as yet another way to install software on Nix. Great.

There’s more, but I’ll leave it there for now. I’m sure there are reasonable answers to all that I’ve said, but I’m just frustrated. I really want to like Nix, but it’s not making it easy.

tl;dr: Two things. 1) Lack of consensus on how configs are organised is confusing. 2) Having 3 different ways of installing software (modules/packages/flakes) does not feel better than apt install or pacman -Syu etc.

I’m a zoomer and I also have no fucking idea what this is

Gotta back up that claim my dude. Not everyone knows what everyone else has done.

I’m in the UK and it doesn’t work for me either, even after changing my question 4 or 5 times. It’s probably region-locked.

She was basically the first internet doxx.

This isn’t doxxing, this is just the internet spreading lies.

Doxxing is publishing personal/private information about someone online, which didn’t happen in this story.

Probably off-by-one errors

This is who all the people who pronounce “gif” as “jif” worship
