I just casually use Twitter as an observer and I haven't noticed anything degrading. It runs the same way it used to.

Ironically, I specifically have a Google Pixel so that I can mod it and gain more control over my phone.

In my experience lists are great but for reordering which can be awkward. Even there, there ought to be a plugin that makes reordering easier.

Have you checked out the mobile toolbar? It makes indent/unindenting list items easy.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, Emacs/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Emacs plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Emacs system made useful by Emacs.

Many computer users run a modified version of the Emacs system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Emacs which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Emacs system, developed by the Emacs Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the Emacs operating system: the whole system is basically Emacs with Linux added, or Emacs/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of Emacs/Linux!

So...technically this is the 3rd entry in the series, right? Game immediately disappears as Valve cannot count to 3

Sometimes I really get to thinking (more than I usually do) about how much it sucks that so much hardware is completely undocumented and must be extensively reverse-engineered to even function outside of the realm of manufacturer ordained software.

Apple's security measures feel like they're designed to protect Apple, with users as an accidental side effect.

What can you say? It's a classic reading!

Doesn't performance always fall off a cliff when emulating?

Jurassic Park anyone?

Related: The OSI Networking Model defines 7 layers (or stacks) to clearly define and separate the duties of each level of the networking. Having clear levels makes troubleshooting and debugging layers.

In practice there's only 4 or 5 layers depending on who you ask.

Holy cow, thank you so much for this resource.

"I'd like you to do X"

AI: "Okay: rm -rf --no-preserve-root"

Don't like the communist decals on the site, but otherwise looks pretty grand!

There should be an epilepsy warning on that banner graphic. I'm not epileptic, but still.

Just remember that if you have a little inconvenience from a redesign, that regular non-technical users have that inconvenience magnified a hundred times over.

This fellow's system seems overcomplicated?

For me, the benefit of linked knowledge is just that I tend to forget a LOT of things, including many details of things I've learned in the past. For me, the principles and concepts remain, but all the steps and "how to do X" vanish rather quickly. So having essentially a personal documentation database (using Obsidian) that I can quickly jump into to recall lost knowledge is very important.

My "Second Brain" is not so much about making my brain better, as it is filling in the missing gaps of where my brain struggles at.

There is a way to toggle experimental fractional scaling in GNOME.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but no one is stopping you from making multiple accounts on various instances to overcome this built-in "limitation"...

Also just run your own instance?

I used to use Whiteboard a little bit, but it was always "meh".

Interesting, first I hear Obsidian coming out with Canvas, then LogSeq with Whiteboards, now this. Has any other party come to the bandwagon of "Infinite Canvases"?

I like the hard borders.

I'll have to see how much this affects or benefits my workflow, but I'm testing it against my Bachelors Capstone Project, and it seems really cool to be able to create an Overview that visually creates relations between my various notes relating to the project.

Very cool! I love Obsidian more every day.

I love how Obsidian has evolved and grown to such an extent that merely showing off what you do with it is enough in itself.e

If you're complaining about encryption, you're doing it wrong.

My last (Arch btw) Linux Evening was my laptop suddenly not booting after an update. I thought it must've been me, so I booted into the install media and reinstalled and reconfigured grub in a way that I knew would fix it...except it didn't.

I then learned that GRUB had a bug introduced in an update that completely borked it for my system. So rather than deal with it I finally used it as the excuse I needed to ditch GRUB for systemd-boot, which if anything is actually simpler.

I'm using GNOME 43 right now on Wayland, and it is quite comfy. But this is mainly due to me heavily using extensions and tweaks to better the experience.

I agree that vanilla GNOME just isn't good enough. But especially for Wayland, GNOME is far superior to KDE in terms of stability and glitch-freeness.

The pessimist in me says that some building(s) are going to burn down, one or more persons will be found with two bullet wounds as "obvious suicide", and that any and all supporting documents will be "lost".

Because we simply cannot live in a world where we are independent from the current power structure. They won't allow it.

Hopefully I'm wrong, I'd love to see progress in energy production that is actually sustainable.

I already have this installed on Steam Deck, but this is great too!
