Shouldn’t it be “further”? farther is for physical distance, further is for figurative/metaphorical distance.

Are you using a custom rom? I don’t have this option on my oneplus 9 pro. but I have something else.

yep. you are right.

There shouldn’t be an arbitrary limit on the length of a password but how is 20 characters “way too short”? It’s more than 10^36 combinations.

If you stumble open a problem like that, Windows, even macos, are also that diddly. Even more so, because they are designed to hide the internals from the user. I had to use my old MacBook for something. While sleeping, it wakes up, connects to my bluetooth headphone, I hear “device connected”, then disconnects 10 seconds later, “device disconnected”, and repeats 20 seconds later. Searched, “how to disable Bluetooth while sleeping”.Turns out there is no official way and the answer is competing with Linux shenanigans. Just look at this!

Also it launches Music app whenever I connect my bluetooth headphones. And guess what, it is impossible to disable that behavior. I had to install an app called NoTunes to stop that.

People just accept the quirks of windows and macos. when something similar happens on Linux it proves Linux is unusable by “normal people”. But you are also right. Linux is not there yet. I did need to use my old MacBook because something I need to do was impossible on Linux.

Why “no websockets” is good? What’s wrong with it?

There were something called “Java applets” on the web before flash. It was real Java, probably a sunset of that. There was an addon just like flash.

I am also using open webui. Most LLMs are too verbose for me, so I created a model in open-webui with system prompt “Do not repeat the questions. Avoid giving lists as answers. Do not summarize the answer at the end. If asked a follow-up question, respond with only new information, do not repeat previously stated information.” and named it No Nonsense.

The USA doesn’t even have a left in any meaningful way. There are two parties, one is right and the other is far right.

Early Windows 7. I was fed up with Windows and switched to hackintosh. 6 years ago I switched to Linux only.

Laws do not, did not ever, guarantee interception. It always allowed the police to try to intercept. The police hid bugs, tapped wires. Never in history the police said "for lawful interception to happen, all phones must come with preinstalled wiretap. The implication that “communications systems are too secure, there has to be a backdoor for lawful interception” is a fallacy.

Turkish military uses Pardus, a Turkish Linux distro, but I’m not sure to what extent.

this is beautiful

That is why Microsoft spent a total of gazillion dollars to have its OS pre-installed on all PCs. We need more PCs with Linux pre-installed. This should be an antitrust issue but I am not knowledgeable enough to say how.

It actually looks great. I’m surprised to see that to be honest. But I use next cloud only as an alternative to Google drive. I find most of the times I can’t make apps work and risk breaking my next cloud installation. But if it works for you, awesome 👍

Stop trying to make fetch happen!

But, and there is a big BUT here, you can’t copy someone elses brand. You can’t put someone elses name on it and sell a product without asking for permission first.

Yes. That is also how I see it. Plagiarism is immoral, copying/replicating/altering is just natural. Has been the norm for millenia. That’s how art, science, and engineering, frankly, the entirity of human culture developed.

I really couldn’t find a better way to describe how it feels to use gnome. I am used almost all tiling window managers through the years. I always got lost in configuring my setup. I know I didn’t have to, but there was almost another step of optimization that was available to me. This is not a bad thing in and of itself, of course. I have been using gnome o arch for the past few years, a plank/dock extension, a system tray, and a clipboard manager. That’s it, there is nothing to fiddle with, to distract me. It is entirely personal. I just can’t stop myself from trying to optimize my desktop/workflow if there are still ways to optimize it. Before gnome I was using my WM/DE and then the applications necessary for my actual work. Now, the DE is “out of the way” and I just do what I actually have to do. But again, this is entirely personal.

not Linux but some open-source software with premium features that have menu items with diamond icons or something like that pointing to those features. you cannot hide the menu items and it keeps sending you notifications to subscribe to an annual license.

unironically agree. if it is useful for the community someone will fork it. you are not forever a slave to your open source contribution.
