This is good for when the hardware is purchased second hand, or has become obsolete in the future.

I have an iPad I’m still holding onto with the hopes that one day it’ll be Linux worthy.

So yeah, buying new Mac hardware for linux doesn’t make sense. But that’s not the only use case.

This right here. Constantly nagging them about something they are ashamed of will only make them more resistant to help.

It’s been a hot minute, but wasn’t what you’re referring to done by a third-party app? The original consoles had no real concept of a mouse by default, let alone copy/paste from highlighted text. Any highlighting inside an app (e.g. vi/m) was buffered by the app and not the OS?

It’s real fucking simple: let people turn it on if they want to use it (any feature, not just ai), and let everyone else leave it disabled by default. The fact that they have to poll users for what they want shows how tone deaf they are to begin with.

Edit:

Also:

The company argues that users should decide how AI shows up in their digital lives, rather than having it embedded automatically across products.

This is a lie. How many times I get that stupid AI summary on search results.

The issue this is referring to is because the user cannot paste into a text field. And the user was not rude about it either.

So instead of fixing the actual problem, the developer went nuclear and removed the validation. A dick move in my opinion given the developer’s attitude.

~It’s more sad than funny. 🤷‍♂️~

It was down earlier today. Came back up right around when I posted this.

I’ll gladly take a few puffs of air to the face to human trial this. Sign me up!

No thanks. Not at least until we get a solid grip on dementia, Alzheimers, and Parkinsons. Clinically alive, but dead inside is not for me.

It’s all subjective and based on your personal level of interest. From a technical standpoint the time needed is based on how fast your computer can compile everything, how fast you read and understand the instructions, and how much effort you want to put into it.

So yeah, a weekend could be reasonable.

Or they’re bored. I’ve done Linux From Scratch before. It’s fun. It’ll teach you a lot about building and maintaining a distro.

Do it. Take a weekend, and indulge yourself.

Ahem.

That just made this 1000x funnier. Thank you!

Alcohol and drug use aside, I have changed a few things about myself and my routine that have helped me tremendously. Maybe they can help you, or someone else:

1. Cook for yourself. Find some simple recipes for wholesome meals (i.e. wholesome in the sense that it meets your nutritional requirements, and that you make it yourself most from scratch).
   • I tend to focus on lean meats, high protein, and green veggies.
2. Set aside one or two hours in your day for just yourself. Play video games, read a book, watch a movie, or take a walk. The idea is to scratch a personal itch you would otherwise deny yourself because of responsibilities or “lack of time”.
3. Naps. If you can, try to take a nap each day. Try to stay with 20-30 minutes, but recognize like any habit/hobby, it takes time to get it right.
   • I’ve gotten to the point where I’ll set a 30 minute timer and only actually nap for 20 minutes.
4. Meditation. I usually do this when I nap or go to sleep for the night. I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones that are in a headband (for sleeping), and I’ll cue up an hour long ASMR or guided sleep video. The guided sleep ones are real good because they teach you box breathing, and help keep your mind focused on yourself so it doesn’t wander into the things that keep you awake.
5. Develop a regular cleaning schedule. Not only will it keep your house clean and tidy, but it allows you to focus your energy into something productive and positive.
   • I use my Notes app to create my to-do lists, and check things off as they get done.
   • If I do something not on my list, I add it and immediately check it off; having a really long list checked off feels real good.
   • I don’t care if I get my list done in a day or week. It’ll get done.

CBD gummies for me, but yes, samsies. Cheers!

Doing the Lord’s work. 🙏 Amen.

Oh god. That is so me. Always with the “if only” mentality. If only ________ then I could do ________.

And of course, it never gets done. 😅

This is the equivalent of a woodworker building jigs and other tools with their thousands-of-dollars of equipment.

Source: me. I do this. 😬

As is a lot of other countries. It’s a growing trend that should alarm everyone.

And countries like Russia, North Korea, and China should all serve as examples of what happens when ruling parties get their way.

For clarification: they will only remove the tile, not the copilot app. They state it’s non-removable, and say it’s not a service that runs.

However, my concern is what is to stop Microsoft (or LG) from enabling it in the future?

The point isn’t whether it’s needed or not. It’s not about space or features. The point is that a major player made a design decision and bucked the system. And while there may still be some phones with audio jacks, the majority of mainstream phones don’t. That major player is still successful, and other companies followed suit.

Can we agree this is what should happen to HDMI. No?
