When will the FOSS community make it so we can flash all our smart corporate owned TVs with Linux?
Hey, somebody did study history! Yet another subject that everyone asks “How will this help me in real life?” and is under attack in the U.S.
Pretty good summary about Martin Heidegger and Nazism on Wikipedia.
I’m open to anyone else who wrote about technology and the issues involved, so I can reference them instead—if you’ve got suggestions. It does suck that some important ideas came from a lousy guy.
Oh, that’s rich.
I disagree: Al is the best thing on the internet.
Good discussion here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/22215/why-have-both-mnt-and-media
The new standard is that /media is where the system mounts removable media, and /mnt is for you to mount things manually.
and
Another important difference not mentioned yet is that devices mounted under
/mntwill not appear in Nautilus' left pane, whilst those mounted under/media(as well as auto-detected devices that are not mounted yet) will.
The real answer is to let people load apps from outside of the App Store.
Yes!
don’t sweat it
as long as you’re not in public, go ahead and look
otherwise: listen to music, read, walk, bike, swim, sleep, draw, sculpt, play games, etc.
Yeah, it works well from parent to child or from child to parent, too.
I don't have a hairdryer
…that you can remember.
How about not having different app stores for every region?

I didn’t see a specific guide, but you may see something if you go through them or the teardowns.
I mean if Al is going to take over this country anyway, might as well be this one. Or the weird one.

Given that the US does directly vote for President…
The U.S. president is not directly elected.
…I inherited this ship from the previous Dread Pirate Roberts, just as you will inherit it from me. The man I inherited it from was not the real Dread Pirate Roberts, either. His name was Cummerbund. The real Roberts has been retired fifteen years and living like a king in Patagonia.

Firefox Focus complaints
I have two complaints about Firefox Focus on iOS:
First, when typing into the address bar, you must finish and tap “search” or “go” or else all you typed will go away if you switch to another app and back again. Firefox Focus shouldn’t forget what you’re doing unless you hit the garbage can icon or force close the app.
Second, if you’re typing, and you tap anywhere I’ve marked in red in the screenshot, it erases the search/url text you’ve typed, and you have to start over. It didn’t used to do this when Firefox Focus first came out. It would be fine to put a garbage can icon somewhere in that area, but the area now that deletes what you’re typing is bigger than the keyboard, and I’ve mis-tapped there way too many times.
Fresno homeowner starts fire trying to kill spider
> “We get it, we don’t like spiders either, but it’s never a good idea to use a blow torch or any other flammable device for pest control,” firefighters said in a social media post.
This label informs you it is easy to peal, and it was.
I peeled it off, and there is no reside on the item, nor did was there any damage to the label.
I had to stick it back down on each side to get the photo, but it pealed right back off in perfect condition again.
If this can be done, why aren’t all labels like this?
“We Don’t Mind” by Michael Franti & Spearhead
We don't mind\ See we've been doin' it all the time\ But if you want us to you sacrifice\ You will not get it without a price\ We don't mind\ See we've been doin' it all the time\ But if you want us to you sacrifice\ You gotta give something back to life
You think I'm vulnerable to your pressure tactics\ Because I shed a tear, 'cause I shed a tear\ You think I'm vulnerable to your violence\ Just 'cause I'm sittin' here\ But my babies came into this world\ Without a single fear, say they has no fear\ 'cause the seven generations before me\ They all fought to get us here
You can't just come in here like that no more\ And snatch up our childhood\ You just can't walk on up\ And replace it yo, with your Hollywood\ But I see now\ How all of the words I say you'll take and misconstrue\ And I'm prepared now\ To suffer the penalties for speakin' the truth\ And I speak the truth when I say
People if you hear me now I wantcha to say\ Naa, na-naa, na-naa, nah\ People if you hear me now I wantcha to say\ Naa, na-naa, na-naa, nah
Sting • Russians • The Dream of the Blue Turtles • 1985
In Europe and America There's a growing feeling of hysteria Conditioned to respond to all the threats In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mr. Khrushchev said, “We will bury you” I don't subscribe to this point of view It would be such an ignorant thing to do If the Russians love their children too
How can I save my little boy From Oppenheimer's deadly toy? There is no monopoly in common sense On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology Regardless of ideology Believe me when I say to you I hope the Russians love their children too
There is no historical precedent To put the words in the mouth of the President There's no such thing as a winnable war It's a lie we don't believe anymore
Mr. Reagan says, “We will protect you” I don't subscribe to this point of view Believe me when I say to you I hope the Russians love their children too
We share the same biology Regardless of ideology What might save us, me and you Is if the Russians love their children too
Can't paste URL for login
When I copy the URL for an instance to paste it, it includes the protocol. But Voyager says it’s not a valid instance. Take off the https:// and it works fine. Seems like Voyager should handle this better.
What do you think of posts that are only a link?
Should all posts include a thought, opinion, or summary from the OP? Is a post title usually enough?
If you appreciate posts that just a link to a video, news article, blog post, or website with no post text by the OP, why do you like them?
Same SD card for SteamOS and Windows-To-Go?
I used https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/pc-gaming/how-to-install-windows-on-steam-deck to set up Windows-To-Go for a few games that won't work in SteamOS. It seems to be working fine, but now I wonder if this would work…
I currently have a 1 terabyte SD card that I'm using for SteamOS. I know Linux partitions can be shrunk, so I'd like to shrink it down to half the size. Then I'd clone the partition(s) from the Windows-To-Go SD card to the now-empty space on the 1 terabyte SD card.
I think I''ll need to clone the Windows partition(s) to the beginning of the drive. So when I make the empty space by shrinking the Linux partition, I'll create the empty space at the beginning of the drive.
I'll be using GParted and Clonezilla since I'm used to them.
I have two questions:
- Will Windows care that the second half of the SD card has a LInux partition? I don't want/need it to see or read/write to the Linux partition.
- Will SteamOS still see the Linux partition automatically as if nothing's changed and just ignore the new Windows partition(s)?
