Ok, but can I use these batteries as RAM?

I’ve had good experiences with Brother printers and Linux.

That’s what I have now. Works well.

Upfront they describe two monocultures and then a thriving diverse ecosystem and then conclude that the thriving diverse ecosystem is the unsustainable option.

Yeah, Linux as a software ecosystem is complex and messy like a forest or the animal kingdom. It’s a feature.

What printer brand do you recommend for use with Linux?

Verge reported there are signs the video may be fix and Tesla posted to confirm that it was indeed fake.

Tesla's reply: "This is fake – that’s not our screen. Tesla does NOT disable vehicles remotely."

Heroin is made from opium poppy seeds, so, yeah, a residual small dose of heroin in your blood looks like the same opium from a serving of poppy seed muffins.

There is a relatively small number of shared Tor exit node IP addresses.

So it’s more likely using Tor will trigger “too many attempts for IP” throttling for any service with bot protection.

It’s nothing against Tor, but is an expected side-affect of attempting to be anonymous by sharing the same IP address with many people.

I also had a roommate fail to get a job over a poppyseed muffin.

Gimp already runs OK on ChromeOS, so I would expect the same on Android soon.

Because Linux runs in VM on ChromeOS, there were some annoyances and there will likely be some on Android.

Maybe they fixed it, but for a long time Linux on ChromeOS couldn’t access Yubikeys because Google choose not to expose those devices to the container.

And some keyboard shortcuts and mappings couldn’t work because again Google limited what the container was allowed to see and control.

And if certain kinds of problems happened, you ended losing both the apps and your data inside the Linux container.

Yeah, it will be cool to run desktop Linux from your phone. But if doing Real Linux Work on Chromebook doesn’t appeal to you, don’t expect it to be better on Android.

YADM is essentially git so about the only thing you need to remember is to use yadm instead of git when managing your dotfiles.

 

This poorly designed table on the AWS website appears to show that neither tier of their new AI agent "Q" offers "Peace of Mind".

Maybe the table was designed by AI, too? "PRICE", "FEATURES" and "PEACE OF MIND" are supposed to be understood as section headers, but the design doesn't work because they didn't also put "price" on its own row and they pointlessly used alternate-row background colors. They could have used background cell colors to communicate which rows were section headers.

 

It boots into a special mode to walk you through completing the assembly. The screen updates to reflect your progress and prompt the next step. This requires no tools to complete. Impressive! See linked video.

 

You've got multiple monitors and watch to switch to a window several windows away.

You could switch focus there with a number of arrow key movements.

"sway-easymotion" allows you to use to press a key that prints a one or two character label on each window. Press that key and your focuses switch there.

Over the weekend I submitted patches for a couple of new features. First, I added multi-monitor support. Second, I added a visual confirmation of which window was selected.

If you are familiar with Github and Rust, you can review the patches and try them out here:

Progress towards universal Copy/Paste shortcuts on Linux

 
 
  1. App redirects to identity broker
  2. Identity Broker redirects to social login
  3. Browser prompts to open password manager to access social login password.
  4. Password manager prompts for master password and redirects back to social login
  5. Social login prompts for security key.
  6. Social login redirects back to identity broker.
  7. Identity broker redirects back to app.
  8. "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length')"
 

Keyboards with custom firmware supports keycodes like XF86Copy and XF86Paste. These are great for having truly global copy/paste shortcuts that also work in apps like terminals where "Control-V" and "Control-C" aren't supported by default.

I advocated that these keycodes be supported in a web browser, Qutebrowser. The author of that project, Florian Bruhin liked the idea and submitted a patch upstream to the QT framework, which is used by many apps associated with the KDE Linux desktop. And about 5 years later, apps will be packaged with QT 6.10 that include the fix.

Here’s the change description.

This adds support for the Help, Open, Close, Save, New, Cut, Copy, Paste, Undo, Redo, Back, Forward, Refresh, ZoomIn, ZoomOut, Find, Settings, Exit, and Cancel keys to the default keyboard shortcuts.
