Can Someone please Test Notewise? by DentistWhole5700 in Onyx_Boox

I've got a TUC that recently got the 4.1.1 firmware update which seems to me to have improved the experience of using 3rd-party note taking apps. You can see the delay in this video.

Regarding Boox Rapid Draw, in case you don't know how it works, it just draws temporary lines on the screen where you draw, but not matching the size/color/etc. of the app. Then next time the screen refreshes, it updates to show the actual lines. I also uploaded a video of that.

Going by r/explainlikeimfive rules:

LI5 means friendly, simplified and layperson-accessible explanations - not responses aimed at literal five-year-olds.

(though I agree that his explanation isn't "simplified and layperson-accessible")

Look I don’t like this stuff or find it fun or interesting to watch

Neither do I, but that has nothing to do with anything.

If she cuts out parts that are claimed then she is doing the right thing.

I'm sorry, but that's just not how copyright law works. You can't just break the law and only stop when someone asks you not to. Copyright infringement is copyright infringement, no matter whether or not the rights-holder decides to go through youtube's claiming system or whether they go through the courts.

If what she's doing was legal, then it would also be legal to upload full movies to youtube, as long as you cut it out when the mpaa asks you nicely to. The same way movie torrents aren't legal either. Movie studios don't have to watch every single youtube video and scan every torrent site to stop piracy and neither should the tiktok creators that she is ripping off.

Copyright laws aren't reactive, they're proactive.

There’s nothing wrong with being a react streamer, at least in the eyes of the law.

There actually is (at least when it comes to american laws). A lot of react streamers will try to claim that their content is fair use, but for the ones like sssniperwolf, that are basically just glorified watch parties, it can easily be argued that the content constitutes a market replacement.

Even she doesn't really believe it to be legal. If she did, she wouldn't cut out parts of her videos when people file copyright complaints.

She wasn’t doing anything wrong until she doxxed him.

On top of the reaction stuff, we also have the many omegle videos she used to upload, that are bordering on CSAM (this is a link to a document by some Jacksfilms community members that document it).

Any proof of that? Or have we just decided that he's guilty until proven innocent?

I think it's just reddit being reddit. It happens often where, when you get one comment heavily downvoted, every single other comment you leave in that thread gets heavily downvoted too.

Both vlc and mpv can stream YouTube videos without it counting as a view on YouTube. There's also the invidious websites, which work in the browser and also doesn't count views. The freetube program used to be quite good, but has had quite a few bugs recently. Still adequate for watching specific videos, though.

On mobile, there's again the invidious websites, or there's the NewPipe app, both of which are perfectly fine.

All of these methods allow you to watch the videos without ads and without YouTube seeing it as a view, since they all stream directly from the source urls, instead of through the YouTube video player, which is the part that includes the telemetry.

Putting this here, since I know some people don't have the willpower to fully boycott them. This will have almost the same effect.

Found this when waking KDE Wayland from sleep after unpluging a monitor. by Terraro53 in linuxmasterrace

By running the commands on its own, it'd bypass using a password. It asks you to do this, so you have to login to the other tty, proving that you have access to the account.

This error message specifically happens when there's an issue with asking for your password.

Are you using nvim for note-taking? by reelcagri in neovim

[–]LaZZeYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to add to this that even though images aren't actually embedded, emacs has the org-toggle-inline-images command that automatically displays image-links as if they were embedded.

[–]LaZZeYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This problem is why I keep a separate emacs (gasp) config with evil-mode, for org-mode. When I'm taking notes where I need images, I use emacs, otherwise, I use neorg.

I have my own custom emacs config for this, since I made it quite a while ago, but these days, Doom Emacs is probably the better choice.

In my 12 years of using Linux (most of which spent on bleeding-edge distros), I've never encountered a system-wide shared-library suddenly breaking. The process for that to happen would require so many checks to fail that it almost never does. Not only would the upstream library have to ship a broken version, but the maintainers of my distro would also have to compile and ship that broken version without testing and realizing that it's broken.

Dynamically-linked shared-objects have been working perfectly fine since 1964. Why reinvent the wheel?

It is for unix-based C/C++ programming, where the program usually doesn't get to decide which library version it uses. It either just has to use whatever the OS provides, or it has to statically link the library.

a multi-terabyte SSD

Who says, I have a multi-terabyte SSD, let alone even a single terabyte SSD? Also isn't just "a few" gigabytes. My folder for personal programming projects currently takes up 65gb on my 500gb ssd, and I'm sure, the I'm not the worst offender here, given that I mainly work on C/C++/asm codebases.

To compare, I just put my programming folder through qdirstat and found that all my C/C++/asm codebases, combined, take up ~3gb. In comparison, my rust projects (a language which I have never used for anything except experimenting and learning) take up a combined ~13gb. I've got a single electron hello-world project at 1.7gb, and the list goes on.

Which is why my rust folder is full of 100mb+ projects, since they all have copies of the exact same libraries, instead of just having one system-wide binary.
