I’m not sure how underrated it is but the exec feature in find is so useful, there are so many bulk tasks that would just be incredibly difficult otherwise but instead are just one line

Interesting, I would absolutely hate using something like that for actual use but it does seem like it could be useful for like demonstrations and documentation

I think the current microsoft version of solitaire has microtransactions and ads so is actually significantly worse

A customizable shortcut key would be so good. I’ve tried to set that up on my own to be alt because that’s what Haiku uses but it’s just impossible to get very many applications to follow it. Probably there’s no way to consistently do it without getting every application to follow some standard for determining what it should be.

If you want a coherent motif-ish theme, NsCDE is amazing. It themes like everything in the world and is honestly like the most consistent looking desktop I’ve ever used

Only for other people, all the other presidents have to be APAB (assigned president at birth) but he’s allowed to be president even though he’s ADAB (assigned dumbass at birth). It’s just his usual hypocrisy

They may not have realized it, but until UEFI-only computers started becoming common, people mostly were still effectively drawing the line at IBM compatibility

What’s the fundamental difference between an Intel Macbook and my old 2018 Lenovo laptop? Either of them can run modern Windows, Linux, whatever. For most modern uses, they’re basically equivalent. The one thing that makes the Lenovo different though is its firmware. The Lenovo has BIOS support and the Mac doesn’t.

If you then add my current Framework laptop, which is UEFI-only, to the comparison though, it gets kind of fuzzy. It’s clearly not a Mac, but what is there to really define it as a PC? It can’t run MacOS, but that doesn’t really work to separate it because plenty of PCs can run MacOS. It’s not made by Apple, but if that’s all it takes then is a Chromebook or one of the Talos POWER workstations a PC too? It’s kind of hard to say the Framework is a PC without including so many other things that the term PC kind of loses all meaning.

I think the term PC has just outlived its usefulness and we need to move on to saying more specific things than that to describe computers. In most modern contexts, all that matters is what architecture a computer is and what operating systems will run on it, and PC just isn’t really a great term to convey that information anymore.

I hate how microsoft seems to think they own the term PC now and it can mean anything they want. Some of the “Copilot+ PCs” they’re advertising on things like this have ARM CPUs which means they aren’t PCs. I would even argue that a lot of x86 computers aren’t PCs now because they only support UEFI booting so aren’t PC compatible. They need to just call them computers or come up with a new term

“Surely the leopards won’t eat my face”

- These guys probably

No because see if they lose it’s because woke goblins are living in the ballot boxes and eating all the trump votes but if they win it’s because they voted so hard the goblins couldn’t eat them all. It’s just basic goblinomics

It’s so dumb because it would be so easy for them to use a business model people don’t hate since it’s a genuinely good game but they just won’t. If they charged like $20 for the base game and maybe like $5 each for the DLCs I would probably buy the game and a few DLCs, but all the DLCs are so expensive that my options are either play the base game for free or pirate all the DLC for free, so either way EA gets no money out of someone who would otherwise have been a paying customer

I want john oliver to buy all of his stuff and run his own show with it that would be so funny

I like how their AI generated logo doesn’t even spell the name right

Yeah but I bet google’s one will have lots of cool features like being harder to use and not supporting becoming root and requiring google play services for no discernable reason

I tried searx for a while but, at least with the instance I used, the results were awful quality and there were a lot of reliability issues. Do you have an instance recommendation?

For text editing, kate is really good and has like zero learning curve and it has tons of features like really good lsp integration but can also just be a normal text editor if you don’t want all the fancy stuff.

(But also I promise learning vim isn’t as hard as you think it is, you can learn the basics in like an hour or two and there are so many things it makes so much easier than other editors)

Kate is so good, I switched to it once atom was discontinued and only stopped using it when I finally got around to setting up neovim to have all the things I need

Wow, I understand that the issue tracker isn’t the right place to have posted that but I still can’t believe so many users sided with vaxry over the nazi thing

Is there anything other than hyprland that has special workspaces like it does? I used to use it until I found out about everything with the developer and that’s the feature I miss the most
