As a native English speaker I certainly won’t process the words of a lot of songs without a conscious effort

Lyrics are so often indecipherable as well. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jGLYJQJh9c8

One that I remember is that I had heard the song “believer” a number of times before learning its name, I always thought they were saying “pick me up and pick me up and leave me, and leave me”. I don’t think I even tried to decypher the rest lol

I think the “proper” way to simplify it is would’ve, which is pronounced the same as ‘would of’

A lot of mistakes have just become incorporated into the language in the past. Maybe ‘would of’ is just too blatantly wrong for that to ever happen though

Maybe not really a ‘mistake’, more of a normal shortening but my personal favorite english-ism is “bye” being descended directly from “god be with you”. People just kept collapsing it more and more over time.

Edit: also “a pease” -> “peas” -> “a pea”

Ok, just read the artlce cited on wikipedia and it sounds like calling him a Trump supporter is a bit of an exaggeration. He seems basically centrist. Which is not great but not nearly as bad.

Their CEO is a Trump supporter

I think it’s the gartner hype cycle, which usually uses the same labels as the meme

I guess it’s realizing you just want a stable “it just works” type of mainstream distro with a large community and support

for 4 Linux would also kind have the same problem as a 3rd party ROM, (almost) no one is making mobile apps for Linux

Sure, there are a lot of desktop apps, but most don’t have a mobile UI in mind

Samsung, Xiaomi and OnePlus have removed the option of bootloader unlocking on all of their devices.

Got me worried (bc i have a newish oneplus phone) but apparently OnePlus is only doing that in China for now. Still not a good sign for the future…

if you close all the terminal tabs and do ctrl+r on a new one it will search all of the ones you closed

I’ve used some slightly weird hardware but haven’t experienced anything of what you described. Across the whole range from the lab server with 3 3090s and 500gb of ram to my $40 Chromebook I got on ebay

People make it sound like its some extreme time consuming task to learn rust. Rust actually gives helpful compiler errors tho and there’s a lot of resources online.

I was able to start making some basic things in rust (like an ascii-rendered brute force n-body simulation) with the help of a few google searches after just like 2 days of messing around in my free time. I’m sure reading kernel stuff requires much more advanced knowledge than what I have but it’s really not a large barrier.

variable width extrusions are great, you can get a whole lot more detail in thin areas just automatically now

There’s also tree supports (usually less material and much easier to design for and remove), lightning infill (weak infill for non-structural models)

maybe some other features that i’m forgetting

Is there any reason not to? I was thinking of using nixos whenever I switch to linux on my desktop just for the sake of ‘doing it properly’. I’ve mostly used archinstall before (home server and laptop) but it seems fairly breakable because I have no idea exactly what’s doing what.

It’s not that bad but I feel like fedora’s probably a better option

It had an email for uverse at the bottom which I am pretty sure is residential? Idk

That doesn’t seem that difficult?

I don’t really stay on top of my gmail that often, but my spam folder has basically exactly the same stuff in it that my inbox has. Just a bunch of random emails from services that I signed up for an account on or bought something from and none of which I particularly care about. There’s not really much that I can tell differentiating what gets marked as spam or not either.

I think 1 cent per view is on the high end for YouTube

Not going to surprise anyone but Windows Mixed Reality VR headsets aren’t great on Linux, at least with controllers

Although that is improving!

I recently switched to Android. IPhones work great, the hardware is all there, the software is probably more polished, etc… but on Android you can get the phone to do basically anything with a bit of effort. There’s an app that lets you easily install most linux packages, and one that can emulate most Windows apps and games. There’s a ton of open source software, and you can actually find apps that don’t shove in-app purchases in your face (because devs don’t have to pay $100 a year just to stay on the store)

I got PrusaSlicer to work on my phone, through the Windows emulator, and sliced one relatively complex 3D model with it. For some reason it crashed every time I tried to start it after that, but it’s still pretty neat that it worked at all. PrusaSlicer has a linux build for ARM so whenever I find the time to set up one of those linux desktops on my phone I’ll probably try that.
