I fucking love halloween. If this is true, it’s one of the few redeeming aspects of USA culture.

Codewars is a cool leetcode-esque thing with less of the corporate dystopia sheen.

Idk, I still think information wants to be free. If you figured it out just farting around, sophisticated malevolent actors are likely already doing similar things. Might be better to let the genie out of the bottle, so people can learn to be skeptical. Deep fakes are optimally effective when a majority still accepts the veracity of images as an article of faith.

Really, you already use gimp, but not linux?

Duckduckgo has a no javascript mode.

Damn, I wanted to mention sqlite.

I find it easier using my pinky to hit ctrl than taking my fingers off the home row to use the arrow keys.

ctrl-b: move cursor back one character

ctrl-f: move cursor foward one character

ctrl-d: delete character under cursor

what do you mean by the Fuck you pay me thing?

What is och?

Its pretty cool he mentioned the work of doug engelbert. I recently finished a book called ‘what the dormouse said: how the 60s counterculture shaped the personal computer.’ Kay’s comment makes me feel that was not just a bit of trivia, but a glimpse into the potential of computing that is tsill yet to be realized.

I just want you to know you weren’t screaming into the void. Look at my new main.py:

from pathlib import PurePath


from Layout import Layout


DEFAULT_FOLDER = PurePath("/home", "mike", "bg")
WATERMARK_DIR = Path(Path(os.getcwd()).parent, "assets", "img")


def main() -> Layout:
    return Layout()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

(I know I still need to change those folder defaults, but I am still riding the high of getting all that layout stuff into Layout.py and it working. I spent a couple hours today struggling, wondering why I was just getting a blank screen, when i realized i forgot to call .grid() on the frame that held all the widgets! So it was just rendering a blank window. )

I thought id give flatpak firefox a shot and the profiles are broken. I might be able to fix it by making some symlinks but it left a bad taste in my mouth. I was unable to get it to recognize my userChrome.css

Thank you SO MUCH. This is exactly the kind of response i wanted, and also thought it would be naive to hope for. Seriously, you’rr awesome.

And i really appreciate how you even looked for something nice to say too. :)

I have perused it, but its both so dense and so broad that its not that helpful unless i know exactly what I’m looking for. I have also tried info and tldr. I actually like tldr the most,. although the exhaustiveness of the man pages must be admired. I dont find it to be the best teacher.

What are some goos resources for learning jq? I really struggle when it comes to nested keys/values which obviously limits my ability to use it.

Im biased here, ive been learning python for almost 16 months and only dabbled in Javascript and never did any Ruby, but for a first language, i think python is fantastic. Its “easy” enough to keep you feeling like your skill is actually improving, while still being able to do pretty much anything (where performance is not a high priority). I also just think javascript is ugly to look at.

I have a T560 and i run debian with sway. It serves the dual purpose of getting me more comfortable in the terminal (i even use power shell on my windowa desk top a lot more now), and it runs much better than KDE or gnome did. Im missing some obvious quality of life settings like easily adjusting the power settings (it never sleeps, just turns off the screen and locks). But again, im trying to get more comfortable using the terminal so for me its more of a “take the training wheels off” thing.

Is it a low code tool?

I love thay idea im gonna implement it tonight
