I'd guess it's some standardized way to determine which OS the browser is running under? Like it does not report the specific Linux version in the user agent header, but it does say that it's Linux and it's architecture. I'd assume there is just some standardized library for it and for Linux the easiest way to know where the hell your binary got launched is /etc/os-release.

The ones I got ~15 years ago had installers on them. Makes sense, running a game from a DVD drive would probably result in terrible loading times.

Nah, Kerrigan is the Queen Bitch of the Universe. Only controls bitches.

It's such an annoying thing. I never used them in English, but in English they are mostly intonational. In Russian em-dashes are grammatical, you have to use them, in most cases ommiting them is a mistake, in some cases it changes the meaning of the sentence.

People were already telling me that using proper grammar is weird long before slop machines came to be. Now they have an actual reason to be suspicious, I, myself, wouldn't want to speak with someone who uses LLMs when casually exchanging messages.

Never would I ever think that investing time into learning how to write properly would backfire like this.

I absolutely love my bland rectangles with text. Never changed my Waybar theme and I have no rounding on my windows. It's my 15 corner pixels of screen real estate, go away with your fanciness.

That's how default Waybar looks like if you never installed it.

The very idea that stealing someone's ID or forging it can be even remotely related to digital piracy is egregious and should not be considered for discussion in this community.

I suppose it would be useful for flakey internet connection, then your update would restart 5 minutes after losing the connection. It surely has a yucky aftertaste, though.

after this do this

This would be ;, as in echo 'after this'; echo 'do this'.

Alternatively, you can wait until there are no processes matching a regex with pidwait <regex>.

Your GUI tool is probably running apt under the hood. You can find the PID of the apt process and do something like this:

waitpid <pid> && poweroff

If you are afraid it has something to do after the apt process dies, you can add some additional arbitrary delay like this:

waitpid <pid> && sleep <seconds> && poweroff

Safe? Eh, may be. Bug proof? You need a bug proof brain first.

 

I'm looking for a website that aggregates specs for gamepads/controllers.

For example, for VR headsets we have VRcompare.

Does anything similar exist for gamepads?
