UnityDevice

I mean, I installed Kate just to do a comparison before posting, I can show you the screenshots if you want. Or just continue believing what you want.

But kde applications use even more space with the title bar, menu bar and tool bar. Even if you disable the toolbar and menu bar, there’s much more padding in kde applications resulting in the content area being significantly smaller. I just compared Kate to gedit and the new gnome text editor and it’s not even close. The gnome applications are much more compact.

I’ve been seeing people complain about header bars being “huge” for years, but every time I actually do a comparison, the header bar application turns out to be more compact than the alternative.

The only issue with gnome in that area is their antagonism towards themes, as themes can easily fix any size possible problems, but the newest default theme is quite reasonable. I used to have custom CSS to shrink the header bars, but it’s no longer necessary.

That being said I recently switched to plasma as well, as gnome’s forced Wayland transition resulted in way too many workflow issues and bugs. But I just configured plasma to work like gnome-shell and I’m continuing to use gnome applications.

Apparently recognizing and handling fascists.

And if you only ever used it for describing weather, that would be an argument to make. But you use it everywhere, I mean just search for the term “cooking temperature” on Google images and you’ll see a bunch of nonsense.

But even using it just for weather, this is still not a good argument, as the perspective of hot and cold is very very subjective, and changes constantly. To me, an outside temperature if 10C feels freezing cold in September, but it’s reasonably warm in January. Or an inside temperature of 24C will feel amazingly cold on a 42C July day, but super warm on a -10C December night.

Baking soda or baking powder? Because some (most?) baking powders do contain aluminium salts and some people are put off by that. Maybe that carried over to baking soda too.

And it’s not even a new account.

As they point out at the end, this wasn’t about the old control panel, but the new settings panel. It’s all brand new code.

The issue isn’t just a simple oversight. Git includes the file name as part of the tree and commit hash. The hash has security implications. There’s really no way to make the hash support case insensitivity without opening up a multitude of holes there. So there will always be a mismatch, and you can’t just fix it without changing how git works from the ground up.

We did it, reddit NYPD!

That’s what I signed up for.

Podman not because of security but because of quadlets (systemd integration). Makes setting up and managing container services a breeze.

The receptacle is the issue - it can have up to 24 pins (though usually it’s 12ish), all bunched up in just a slightly larger space than on a micro usb receptacle which has 4 pins. So it takes some good skill to replace.

Just recently I had a tech store guy gently but repeatedly insist to me that a certain USB cable was a USB 3 cable because it was type C on both ends. I didn’t wanna argue with him, but the box clearly said “480 Mbit”, so it was just a type C charging cable.

Of course the box designers were hoping you’d make that mistake so they didn’t write USB 2 on there, just the speed. And most boxes won’t even have that, you’ll just have to buy it and see.

But I mean if someone who spent their whole life fixing computers can get something that basic wrong, then it’s really a hopeless situation for anyone who isn’t techy.

And of course once it’s out of the box it’s anyone’s guess what it is. It’s a real mess for sure.

The mic being active or not doesn’t affect her hearing. If he interrupts her she’d still hear it, only the TV audience wouldn’t, so she’d seem flustered.

But check that it has all the features you need because it lags behind gitea in some aspects (like ci).

I live in a qwertz ISO layout country, but I use qwerty ANSI layout keyboards because I find that text editing is better with them. Makes finding a laptop pretty hard though.

Podman quadlets have been a blessing. They basically let you manage containers as if they were simple services. You just plop a container unit file in /etc/containers/systemd/, daemon-reload and presto, you’ve got a service that other containers or services can depend on.

I’ve been in love with the concept of ansible since I discovered it almost a decade ago, but I still hate how verbose it is, and how cumbersome the yaml based DSL is. You can have a role that basically does the job of 3 lines of bash and it’ll need 3 yaml files in 4 directories.

About 3 years ago I wrote a big ansible playbook that would fully configure my home server, desktop and laptop from a minimal arch install. Then I used said playbook for my laptop and server.

I just got a new laptop and went to look at the playbook but realised it probably needs to be updated in a few places. I got feelings of dread thinking about reading all that yaml and updating it.

So instead I’m just gonna rewrite everything in simple python with a few helper functions. The few roles I rewrote are already so much cleaner and shorter. Should be way faster and more user friendly and maintainable.

I’ll keep ansible for actual deployments.

Yay, fan club.

I was just introducing someone to Rodney last night because some actor in a show we saw looked a bit like him. Then I wake up and see this here. Life sure has funny coincidences sometimes.
