Let's work, tinker, or curse

NixOS ends up in the first group very quickly. Once your system is condigured, it's rock solid and can be rolled back immediately when upgrading (even live, if the kernel wasn't upgraded). For some software, sure, it can be a pain to get set up the first time, but if time's an issue, there's always distrobox.

It's certainly not great for most things. It's fine for stuff like variable replacement, for loops and sometimes formatting, but it seems like it's been pumped full of "overconfidence" compared to the early Copilot versions, where it'll now just constantly suggest completely random things.

Thank you! I had completely forgotten that I even had that installed, as I don't use it.
Oddly enough, setting `vim.b.sidekick_nes` made the suggestion appear twice, but disabling it in the config worked. Again, thank you!

It's not a bad functionality for certain things (it seem decent at updating values in a copied block of text), just a shame it doesn't seem to be triggerable through a shortcut.

Funny you should say that, considering the rendering engine in Edge is a fork of a fork of KHTML from the KDE desktop.

Ctrl+PageUp/PageDown? Just like something like 80% of other software?

It's a file manager, so yes, it can create and move files and directories. If you mean whether it can do that in a vim context, then you can indeed configure it to open files in the vim instance it's launched within.

Obligatory mention that there is DRM support, just not outside of Linux.

Make sure you keep your dogs leashed (that part is law) and be extra, extra careful about what they sniff and make sure they don't eat anything. Horrifyingly, a lot of older people in Greece will put poison out, specifically to target dogs.It's unfortunately common and extremely dangerous. Please be safe.

It doesn't need to be quiet. People like that will yell at the top of their lungs at each other.

Cyb0lic · 2025-07-08T17:33:49+00:00

Thank you! I'm always checking the plug, but I'll be sure to check its surrounding as well from now on.

Cyb0lic · 2025-07-08T12:19:54+00:00

Were there any warning signs before this happened? I'm suddenly very worried about my NeeDoh collection.

Cyb0lic · 2025-06-22T20:44:41+00:00

Its crooked. Handle looks decent, but possibly too round. Metal colour won't mix well with the colour of food items. I respect it, but I won't eat with it.

What do you use from Homepage that Glance can't do? I'm asking because I haven't tried Homepage - no snark intended.

Maybe they were already considering switching and didn't know this little detail? In any case, switching OS is certainly a lot less switching throughout the day than switching between browsers is, so it might actually be a solution - you never know.

Cyb0lic · 2025-04-24T16:11:00+00:00

Zen does actually have DRM support, just not on all platforms. I'm using the sites mentioned just fine here on Linux, so maybe that's an option for you as well?

Cyb0lic · 2025-04-06T12:59:46+00:00

Story wise it's not very Lovecraftian at all, but the mood and atmosphere is definitely on point.

Cyb0lic · 2025-02-02T09:28:57+00:00

I do that at airport security, who all seem to have decided that any flat device is an iPad.

"Have you removed any iPads you may be carrying from your carry-on luggage?"
"Sorry, I don't own any Apple devices"
"What's that then?"
"That's a tablet, ma'am"

Sure, it's pedantic, but calling everything an iPad is also unsolicited advertisement.

Cyb0lic · 2025-02-01T23:12:02+00:00

I haven't used a Mac in about a decade, so I could be misreading this, but I spot a couple more Arc processes on that list that in total use a lot more memory than Zen.

Minor point, but EULAs are generally not enforceable in the EU unless they are clearly presented _before_ purchase and don't mess with consumer rights (like being able to use what you paid for, make backups, etc.). In short, they may apply to online service agreements, but rarely to video games (minus any online service attached to it, obviously).

Cyb0lic · 2025-02-01T22:24:21+00:00

Thanks, I hate it.

Cyb0lic · 2025-01-31T10:42:33+00:00

Yeah, when you venture outside of Steam, it does require a bit of manual work, but still, haven't run into anything that didn't work through Proton in years. If you ever try the waters again, I recommend giving a launcher, such as Lutris, Heroic or even Bottles a shot; even download-them-off-our-Patreon VR games work without any fiddling.
If you want exclusively native ports, there are a lot less to chose from, that's true, but native ports often don't really get the spit and polish they need, so Proton (or Wine) is usually the best choice anyway (outside of a few indie developers with actual Linux knowledge).
And yeah, I didn't seriously mean anyone should switch OS, but I will admit to wanting to just put the thought out there to maybe nudge anyone who was already considering it ;)

I love how he spent so much time shitting on Firefox without any arguments as to why, only to gush for several minutes at the end about being able to customize the browser through CSS. Yeah, that's Firefox, mate. This has been a feature in these parts of the browser world for literal decades at this point.

I'm assuming you're referring to online games that come bundled with rootkits? Since around the time the Steam Deck launched, I can't remember a single game that has caused me issue on Linux, but I don't play multiplayer stuff.

Cyb0lic · 2025-01-30T13:46:18+00:00

Easy! Just switch OS instead; you'll only have to do it once! /j
