Because it's a totally awesome and fun challenge? Read the details of the integration!

I used to program pure Xlib when I was 13 or so. I don't think the then-13-year-old me would manage pure Wayland.

Does anyone know of a precedent for this? I've never heard of a social (or other) network claiming to own account identifiers, then again I don't read their ToS with a magnifying g…

The combination of 'it just works' and 'SSO integration' is a killer. To be honest, in 20+ years of working in IT, I never understood the point of the latter until recently, on a g…

Yes, but that's just using the standard browser keybindings for keyboard navigation across links. I was thinking of , , or something similarly "DOS-like".

Cute. Keyboard navigation doesn't work though, that'd be properly '80s.

> Or do people actually want their keybindings to change when they change their layouts? It depends. As a counterpoint to the folks replying "yes", I have for years had Meta-[1..9]…

> Anyway, interesting idea. As another comment pointed out, I wish there was an easy way to mount NFS and 9p shares as a user. Add e.g. foo.bar.com:/path /net/foo.bar.com nfs to /e…

This is awesome. NFS is very much undervalued as a cross-platform interface for talking to a (not necessarily remote) filesystem. ~20 years ago I was using SFS (Self-certifying fil…

I was responding to your comment, but should have used less cut and paste. You wrote: > This is why I like to pay for things. This dynamic only really exists for things that are gi…

Err, nope. As I commented on TFA, and will gladly repeat here: Wow. Well put. The scariest thing is, this translates even to domain-specific apps such as Navionics Boating. I use i…

Cool, can we get the same for Pixel4+? Ta.

Yup, they even get firmware updates via LVFS/fwupd! The relative high-DPI-ness of the internal display in combination with worsening eyesight forced me to migrate from X11/openbox …

My most recent Linux laptop upgrade as of 10/2022 was: FROM a refurbished Panasonic Let's Note CF-SX3, Intel Core i5-4300U, ~2013 vintage, 8GB RAM, aftermarket Intel 400GB DC S3610…

This, 200%. I have the same problem with my 87yo father, and no idea how to fix it. I've drawn up step by step instructions, labelled both the TV and set top box remotes and device…

No it's not. Assuming the OP means something vaguely modern, it'll be a Thunderbolt dock that shares PCIe devices to the host. Try and work out the complexity of a PCIe device disa…

> crashing when moving from one docking station to another when suspended; That is a thing? To be honest not sonething I'd expect to work reliably under any OS, the low-level compl…

I voted for the Dell XPS, but really wanted to vote for the Dell Latitude. I recently upgraded to a refurbished 8th gen (KBL, top of the line i7 model with NVMe and Thunderbolt) La…

The EU is not a 'trade bloc' (sic). In the grand scheme of things, Brexit and its consequences were much alike to what I imagine would happen were $STATE to leave the USA.
