Yes. The US is also authoritarian. Yes, there is a clear media bias when it comes to the headlines that western media outlets are willing to run. In particular, painting non-western countries as more authoritarian than the US (which is sometimes true).

It’s valuable to point this out. Dog knows the shitty media bias bots used in other communities won’t.

However, the overall tone of your comment seems to suggest that it’s okay for non-western governments to do authoritarian bullshit, just because the US does. I trust that wasn’t the point of your comment, but I assume that’s why some may not take kindly to it.

For what it’s worth: my instance disables down votes, so I literally can’t down vote posts I disagree with.

Why Haptic

We built Haptic to make markdown writing simpler and more accessible. We believe that many existing editors are too complex for simple use cases and day-to-day note writing, so we decided to fix that.

What Makes Haptic Special

1. Ready to Use: Open Haptic and start writing. No setup needed.

2. Simple Design: Clean interface so you can focus on your writing.

3. Write Anywhere: Use Haptic on any computer with internet. Great for public or work computers where you can’t download software.

4. Made for Everyone: If other editors feel overwhelming, you’ll like Haptic.

5. Open Source: Self-host your own instance, giving you full control over your setup.

Haptic is all about making writing easier. We’ve left out extra features to keep things simple and help you get your ideas down without fuss.

Note: If you’re looking for a markdown editor with plugin systems, complex setups, or feature-packed interfaces, Haptic might not be for you. But if you want something straightforward that just works, give Haptic a try!

Silly question: what’s the difference between the otf and ttf fonts?

Edit: thanks for the explainers!

I know a bunch of people that own Steam Decks, know nothing about Linux, and have no idea that their games are running on it. I’d say it’s pretty easy now.

“Karen compiler” is almost perfect, except unlike Karens, the compiler is delightfully helpful with the error messages it gives you (usually). It usually gives a straightforward error, an error code, and sometimes, an easy fix.

As someone that started with Rust, but just yesterday had to fix some C++ code, working with any other compiled language makes me shudder. I have nothing but respect for devs that have to wade through stuff like that.

Just don’t ls /dev/loop* 🫣

I just pre-ordered five of these. lol. Thanks for the rec. Wendell from Level1Techs always has his eye on the coolest stuff.

That’s an interesting perspective you got there. I hope you adopt the “ideological” mindset that adding fixes and memory safety is generally something you’d want, regardless of the language.

What time would SpaceNoodle allow? You’re in a thread about Kernel devs talking about contributing new code and why some new code is permissible, but other code, including C code, with fixes for C, are arbitrarily not allowed because it’s coming from a Rust dev.

With the “refactoring replaces old, working bugs, with new, untested bugs” mindset, you might as well stick with the good stuff from 50 years ago. Those bugs are very well-known.

I’d love some suggestions. I have a 1440p 32:9 monitor that can act as separate displays, but since Synergy, input-leap, and the other software KVMs don’t work on Wayland, I’m having a bad time :(

Might as well never write new code then 🤷

Try deploying the Bitwarden self-hosted stack (official, not Vaultwarden) with Podman and then you’ll see that Podman’s inter-container DNS isn’t up-to-par with Docker’s.

Podman is not a perfect replacement for Docker and often times gets in the way.

Google has a disproportionate and overwhelming say in AOSP. What do you think Lineage OS is based on?

When Google makes API changes to Android, it hurts AOSP too. Can the devs try to maintain the legacy API on their own? Sure, but it’s extra effort, so it’s usually not something you can count on.

Oddly enough: SELinux and file ownership for bind mounts were pretty hellish for me, even with :z. Granted, that’s definitely on me (skill issue) for having misconfigured SELinux policies, but docker got out of my way.

Other than that, my gripes about podman have to do with inter-container DNS communication and having to creating systemd services to manage simple container stacks. That last one is a major thorn in my side because the podman CLI used to have a simple command to generate the systemd file for you, but they’re getting rid of it.

I run containers locally for basic dev work and, on occasion, deploy simple self-hosted services. In both of those cases, I find Podman to be an unnecessary hindrance where Docker isn’t.

docker preinstalled

This is actually perfect. My main issue with EL distros is that they tend to push podman, which is not a 1-to-1 replacement for docker. This may end up being my default for non-immutable OS installs.

This is more usable than browsh, in my experience, but has the very unfortunate downside of being based on Chromium (🤢)

Servo barely works right now. Ladybird somewhat works. Neither are ready for daily use.

KeePaasium is what you use for Apple devices (macOS and iOS. Unfortunately, it’s a paid app, but you can enroll in the beta program to get it for free.

The phone number isn’t a required field and you can just use user@example.com for the email. The site tells you whether you’re registered right away, without the need to check any emails they send.

In what way? I thought it was just an alternative client for Signal.
