tldr is great. Basically a crowd-sourced alternative to man with much more concise entries. Example:
$ tldr dhcpcd
DHCP client.
More information: <https://roy.marples.name/projects/dhcpcd>.
Release all address leases:
sudo dhcpcd --release
Request the DHCP server for new leases:
sudo dhcpcd --rebind
Teams is such a confusing app. To start off, what is it meant to be? A frontend for onedrive? A chat app? A videocall app? It’s like microsoft’s attemp to make their own everything app. What was wrong with Skype? Actually, Teams shows up as “skypeforlinux” (complete with a Skype icon) in Pavucontrol, so is the videocalling part of teams just a re-packaged skype? Why does the web version of teams have its own integrated Excel which is slightly different from standard web excel? It feels like the UI was specifically designed to mislead. There is a list of icons on the left that allow you to switch between different contexts in the app. The visual design makes it look like a set of radiobuttons, except clicking on some of them twice does a different action… There is a home screen, and then also a second SUPER HOME screen!? I can’t even get angry it at for being a slow bloated jumble of spyware like the rest of microsoft’s garbage (which it is), I just feel a sense of morbid fascination every time I’m forced to use it. It feels like an AI-generated app from a future where AI is much more capable but still utterly fails at understanding humans. It’s the uncanny valley of user experience.
most of what I posted describe actual well known problems with Android. You would know that if you used Android.
Damn, you’re right, maybe I should do some reading on these “well known problems” that I haven’t once experienced in my three years of using android. Sounds pretty bad /s
^ Edgy sarcasm aside, everything you said really is news to me. Is there really that much difference between different android ROMs? I’m running /e/-os on my phone (lineageos fork), and I don’t think I’ve ever had issues with notifications or this “Doze” thing. I can’t say for lemmy app / youtube music tho, I don’t use those. Though I can relate a little bit to the third-party launcher thing – I have MLauncher, and a recent update just completely crippled the search functionality for no reason.
This looks like one of those PC/Console comparison memes from the early days of pcmasterrace. I like it!
TBH cable transfer on android can be pretty shit as well. Like, if you luck out with the MTP implementation on both your phone and your computer, then it Just Works ™. But in many cases (like mine) it’s a buggy mess. I used to have a script that would sync music from my laptop to my phone with rsync, and I would have to run it like three times to actually transfer everything, because each time like 10% of the files would just… not make it across the cable lol. Now I just do it over WIFI. I really wish we could go back to the old days when plugging in your phone would just expose the microsd card as a block storage device.
Hey, do you mind telling me where I can sign up for the apple shilling program? What are the rates like? Approximately how many shill posts do you make a day? Is it necessary to make lots of different alt accounts, or can I just shill from my main?
YAML is good for files that have a very flexible structure or need to define a series of steps. Like github workflows or docker-compose files. For traditional config files with a more or less fixed structure, TOML is better I think
Please don’t. If you need something like json but with comments, then use YAML or TOML. Those formats are designed to be human-readable by default, json is better suited for interchanging information between different pieces of software. And if you really need comments inside JSON, then find a parser that supports // or /* */ syntax.
Never knew that ddg had an LLM, will check it out. Thanks!
I’m sorry which LLM is this?
It’s perplexity.ai. I like it because it doesn’t require an account and because it can search the internet. It’s like microsoft’s bing but slightly less cringe.
How’d you get that out of it?
The screenshot is fake. I used Inspect Element.
Still better than automatically converting :) to 😃
Isn’t that also more or less the case with X11? From what I understand, if you try to use bare Xorg without any extensions like Xfixes and Xdamage, it’s pretty miserable
What do you mean by “handles multiple monitors poorly”? Is it something to do with scaling? The only issue I’ve encountered under X11 related to multihead is the inability to set different subpixel geometries for different monitors, but iirc wayland doesn’t let you do that either? Just curious what your usecase is
At first I though this was just a regular shitpost but then I saw the screen tear edit lol
On a more serious note, is there a way to actually fix screen tearing under x11? I’ve always thought a compositing manager like xcompmgr would do it, but for me it only makes it worse?
It’s archaic english. So yes, I think people will think you’re weird. But maybe if you start using it with your dutch friends/colleagues in english-speaking contexts, you can slowly introduce it into common usage in your community. Might be cool.
Also don’t forget “ereyesterday” for the day before yesterday.
