Facts can be cherry-picked.

Half-truths can and slightly inaccurate statements can be construed as either hard-TRUE or hard-FALSE.

On the opposite side of the political spectrum, "nuance" in political discussion is an accepted reality.

Gatekeeping is acknowledged as a problem - we know those who position themselves as arbiters of truth are not beyond scrutiny.

It would be contradictory to know these are true but also believe conservatives are deluded in believing that fact-checking is fraught with bias.

Indeed, conservatives have long claimed that fact-checking was riddled with anti-conservative bias and even conflicts of interest (as when PolitiFact, one of Facebook’s six United States-based fact-checkers, shot down a critique of a Clinton Foundation initiative without disclosing that one of that program’s principal funders was a major donor to PolitiFact’s parent organization, the Poynter Institute).

A talking point belonging to a group one dislikes does not make it invalid.

A year or two ago, I freed up like 100GB of space from my Windows OS drive by deleting these files: https://serverfault.com/questions/746849/windows-temp-large-...

It was a corporate laptop, so maybe the problem exacerbated itself to that level due to frequent patches the employer was pushing.

In the mid-2000s I once tried installing Windows XP to a 16GB eMMC drive that was in a PCI slot adapter on my main PC. It did install successfully, just as it would on a normal hard drive. It did boot. The only problem (besides it being only 16GB) is it took forever. The PCI slot transfer speeds were slow. The eMMC card itself was slow. I can't recommend doing it, but it does work.

Occam's razor is just another brand of shaving razors.

I had the same thought. I suppose one main difference is this project's focus on importability for Adobe InDesign.

Maybe a slimmed down version of systemd is what we really needed all along.

Thanks for this.

I love the concept, and would use it daily if there were features for adding/removing/viewing favorites. This is something that the official API doesn't support, so it's not something I'm faulting this application for. Impressive for sure.

Also +1 on wlqlwlql's dark-mode idea, although a color theme in general might be a better approach (but perhaps overly complicated?).

Any examples that work in Firefox?

To me the truck seems more in line with Futurism.

It's a double-edged sword

You probably have already checked out some ambidextrous mice, but FWIW, this is the left handed mouse I use: Elecom M-XT4DRBK

Use SELinux

Promoting yourself / your personal brand?

I see how this could upset some, but whether or not it is either empathetic or disrespectful is arguable.

Thank you for sharing this. I kniw I will find it useful.

I thought the reward neurotransmitter was dopamine. Aren't endorphins for pain?

mosh: Mosh is a popular alternative to ET. While mosh provides the same core funtionality as ET, it does not support native scrolling nor tmux control mode (tmux -CC).

I had no idea Mosh did not support tmux control mode. I was hoping to eventually use Mosh more, but not any more.

Glad to see Eternal Terminal works with FreeBSD too.

My aunt lived in a house for years which turned out to have a leaky gas pipe in the basement. Aside from the fire hazard, she had been breathing in gradually rising levels of fumes for many years. Recently she has been diagnosed with Alsheimer's. Is it possible that type of gas was a contributing factor?

YouTube Premium is worth it IMO. No adds, the ability to minimize, and downloading videos locally, all within the same app are killer features.

When I temporarily gave up trying to apply myself towards my math coursework during high school, I used Maxima to breeze through an online Algebra 2 class. Not a great story, but I can attest that it works.

The Atreus42 has a different take on number input, which is more like a traditional numpad. You still use your thumb to activate the numbers and symbols layer, but it's on the same hand that actually puts the numbers in, so there aren't awkward moments coordinating both hands to get a long number typed.

The Planck default layout has a dedicated arrow cluster, The function key to the left of it can turn it into Page Up/Down, End, and Home.

The Corne's predecessor, the Helix, was a significant leap forward from the Let's Split design that inspired it. It had a lot of firsts. First split design with reversible PCB, first split with per-key RGB, first split with OLEDs supported on both sides - necessitating some custom OLED code in QMK that was ahead of it's time. The Helix and it's derivatives (like Corne) represent the apex of 2018's DIY radically designed small boards movement, and the Japanese DIY keyboard movement too.

Mostly I prefer 40%, but when something conventional is required (Blender, TES Daggerfall, as examples) I too like 75%.

I use many different computers every day, and for the past 3 years, I have preferred 40% keyboards to get the job done.

Basically, the smaller the keyboard, the easier the layout is to remember. When it fits completely under your hands, with no extra columns or rows necessitating hand movement away from the home row, you can then commit the layout to your body's muscle memory faster. It then becomes more efficient and comfortable to use.

EDIT: On my current layout, I do something pretty unconventional, which is saying a lot considering I'm using Dvorak. So I've mapped the B key on my Mods layer to Backspace, D to Delete, T to Tab, and E for Enter (just to name a handful). Now, I prefer this to having mods requiring a long pinky reach to either side. It's also liberating using a layer for an extra level of intention before hitting stuff like Delete, Backspace, and Enter. If you're reading this, there's a good chance you've accidentally hit Enter one on a message or button when you didn't mean to. Especially if you've dabbled with HHKB layout. With this type of arrangement, worrying about that is a thing of the past.

Interesting. It has apparently been around for decades.

Union mounts have also been available in BSD since at least 1995.

As a vim user, I too agree. Vim is my favorite editor, but the learning curve being a barrier to adoption is an undeniable fact.

Just would hate to have vi dropped entirely, like it is in NixOS / GuixSD.

Also, I can't recommend vimtutor enough to anyone new to it who doesn't have nano at their disposal.

Would prefer if something like nano but non-GPL was available for the BSDs.
