tailscale also just has a button to buy/enable mullvad as an exit node. if you’re just looking for a commercial vpn for privacy it works well.

I’d always prefer a biodegradable and renewable material that I have to replace every few years over an artificial one that’ll be around forever in some form. Not everything needs to be made out of petroleum

you can also just add more buckwheat if it gets too flat too. although fwiw I bought one a couple years ago and took out a bit to make it flatter initially, and haven’t needed to add it back yet

is there compositor support? is there a way to get kde to rotate my monitor to a specific degree via cli?

keep in mind I have no idea if there are real use cases for diagonal monitors, I just duct taped an accelerometer to the back of my monitor and can only get it to rotate in 90 degree increments with kscreendoctor and thought it would be funny if the picture was just always upright

not sure what you’re talking about with lisp lol, the military may have some dialect they wrote but lisp started as an academic language and there’s plenty of still supported and used dialects outside of that

wayland doesn’t support diagonal monitors

my experience was closer to the opposite, elementary was always reheated packaged stuff and after that the quality improved a bit. I think the real problem is it seems pretty random if it’s good or not

not sure for what purpose you want a tablet, but I had a fujitsu 2 in 1 in college that was pretty solid for linux support. no problems with pen drivers or anything. the screen swiveled around and it folded down into a tablet. it was pretty bulky compared to an android tablet or similar, but it worked well for taking noes and had a full keyboard when I wanted it

one more for using nix, but for language tooling I generally prefer a nix shell and installing per project dependencies there. then updates don’t break random projects and you know all the dependencies of a given project

it felt to me like coffeescript solved problems that people had, then js got equivalent features. arguably that could happen to ts as well

Brother laser.

I’ve been using vscode in firefox via tunnel to my main machine on my android tablet and it’s been working well enough

this guy writes shitty code

extensions tend to be the slow part in my experience. after a couple heavy extensions on an already struggling work laptop I’ll frequently outpace it’s input handling and have to wait for it to catch up

This is utah though, a state mostly controlled by mormons. The mormon families I know take all their kids’ electronics before they are to go to bed, and don’t give them back until the morning, some incl 18yo in high school. Monitoring everything they look at to make sure they don’t see anything that could make them question their beliefs is common

This is just them pushing the strict control all the hyper religious families in utah already exercise onto everyone else, like all the other silly laws in utah

I’ve put more work into getting wsl to work at work than I have my home linux machines. it’s just so unreliable for some reason. I ended up just giving up and running a full vm instead, and it’s so much nicer since I can just pretend windows doesn’t exist

canonical has had it’s run with the latter two, at least briefly. it’s not out of the picture at least

the browser based office does just work if that helps. I don’t have anything for the cc side tho

I’ve found it to be less strict than I’d prefer. Things like whether parameters are aligned or indented, whether or not the first one is on its own line, what statements are indented in fluent calls that have blocks, etc.

A lot of other formatters (prettier, anything for python, etc) force something consistent in those cases, whereas it seems like the dotnet formatter prefers to leave things as they were.

I’d love for it to be more opinionated and heavy handed if anyone has suggestions

I refuse to believe that people use a php style guide. I have yet to open a php file in the course of any job that doesn’t mix tabs and spaces arbitrarily on top of numerous other horrors.

Luckily it’s not often that I have to, so sample size may play in a bit…
