Someone needs to make: buenus - clean room proprietary software to AGPLv3

It’s satire, but also fully functional. And they take money.

So, it’s a bit like your boss saying: you’re fired! LOL. Hahahaha. It’s a joke! Laugh! But, also you are really fired.

HiDPI has been an issue on Linux for decades. If you’re new to Linux, I’d highly recommend you do not get a HiDPI display. You’re gonna have to apply workarounds to get your apps looking normal and for some apps you might just be stuck with blurry fonts.

If you’re new to Linux and want less problems, avoid HiDPI.

Just look at how big this thread got: https://community.frame.work/t/tracking-state-of-hidpi-on-linux/8301

doesn’t mean every customer that wants high resolution has to suffer.

There’s no possible solution to this problem. Oh, no. If only someone could invent some way where customers that want to deal with bugs could buy a HiDPI display and customers who just want their software to work could chose a regular DPI display. Like, if 2 options were available or something crazy like that… Idk.

Also yeah, I’m on a super niche DE nobody has ever heard of: GNOME.

I’ve dealt with this first hand. It was so bad I returned my old Framework. Not doing that again. Anyway, looks like nothing has changed. Have fun dealing with scaling issues. ✌️

It better not have a HiDPI display… It’s not “fully Linux compatible” if they ship it with a buggy, non-compatible HiDPI display.

“Full Linux support” should mean I don’t have blurry fonts, oddly shaped windows, stuck using only certain DEs, stuck using only certain apps.

Fuck this ad for AI. It’s trying to make it seem like workers don’t use AI because they’re scared. It’s only 8% that said they were scared. The rest of us 92% workers aren’t scared we’re going to be replaced by AI. We see how shitty AI is and we don’t like it because it sucks and makes things slower, not faster.

The super-users we surveyed were around 3x more likely to have received both a promotion and pay raise in the past year, compared to employees who have been slow to adopt these tools

I do agree with this point. One of my team members recently got a lot of brownie points because he’s been doing AI demos. The execs love him because he’s visibly following orders. Does he generate way more code than everyone else? YES, this is actually a horrible thing, but execs are clueless and think more code == more better. Is he more productive than others? Definitely not. The hot garbage he’s generating is just bug-ridden tech debt.

I guess I’m sabotaging our AI rollout by getting out of the way. You wanna inject AI everywhere? Fine, do it. I’m not gonna review it though. If you can’t take the time to write something, I’m not going to spend my time reading it.

Oh, good! That’s exactly what I got!

That insulation needs to go too.

Yep.

Yeah, I believe I’ve removed the leak… see the plastic bag to the left? That’s where a toilet used to be. I’m fairly certain the toilet was leaking… for months… (and I’m an idiot who didn’t associate the smell with mold). The leak made it into the adjacent closet.

Phase one: Remove drywall, carpet, tile. Remediate the mold.

Phase two: Install a new toilet (I didn’t install the previous one.)

The old toilet had a blackened… hardened wax ring. Anyway, that’s a whole different project. Focusing on the mold for now.

Huh. Great idea on researching how to best ask for donations. Definitely agree with the research, popups are annoying. I think I like Immich’s method. It’s a button at the bottom, but it’s not annoying. Signal is annoying because I’m a monthly donor, but I still get popups…

Ooh! And you can add an F-Droid repo!

What’s your alternative?

TIL, thanks!

Stop it, Patrick! You’re scaring him! Fairphone, Jolla, SailfishOS, GrapheneOS! 👻

Today, AI can be pointed at an open source codebase and systematically scan it for vulnerabilities.

Well, then do that.

iknowrite? If these magical scanners can find all the bugs in your code… then why don’t they use these magical scanners to find all their bugs in their code!!! 😂

LOL.

Before, the whole world operated on “security through obscurity”…

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. 😂 🤡

Yeah… I’m gonna wait for 15.1…

Also known as dynamic or personalized pricing, surveillance pricing is when a store charges different shoppers different prices for the same item at the same time, based on something the store “knows” about them as an individual. … American consumers are subject to dynamic pricing millions of times every day when they are buying airline tickets online, using Uber, or ordering anything on Amazon.com.

Airplane tickets and Uber I was familiar with. I wasn’t totally aware Amazon did that too.

There are two types, by map and token to conform to different usecases.

Ahh, ok… I’m seeing the docs.

ShareType: type of share

    token: token-based share (do not require user authentication)
    map: map-based share (requires user authentication)

Ahh, ok. So whether you need authentication or not.

There are also two different storage types, csv and files.

And the docs for that…

CSV

One CSV file containing one row per sharing config, separated by ; and containing header with columns from above.

If given, properties are stored in JSON format in CSV.
Files

File-based configuration store is using encoded PathOrToken as filename for each config. File contains the data stored as "dict" in binary Python "pickle" format (same is also used for item cache files).

So if you want plaintext vs binary storage.

you have to edit your config file with the ‘[sharing]’ section.

Would you mind sharing your config, pretty please. 🙏

If you’re talking about switching your current phone to Linux, yeah, idk.

But, if you’re willing to purchase a new device, then the Jolla C2 or the Sony Xperia 10 III apparently run SailfishOS decently.

(I recently ordered an Xperia 10 III from Jolla Devices with SailfishOS. I was hoping it could become my main phone…)
