I hate news about news. Here is the actual news: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=CWRboGsn-oA

Do I have to post an image? Is the OP's image an example of what to do or what not to do?

How many characters would I be moderating? I believe in structured moderation, where I am only required to monitor the interactions of the same 32 or so characters in this community. Moderators under this system work together by not monitoring each other's characters. So, that works out to a strict 32:1 character:mod ratio.

You only saw the tabs open on this workspace.

But yeah I don't have hundreds of tabs open. It is incompatible with my workflow. Only the "tabs" directly relevant to whatever is currently happening in the current workspace are kept open.

A link either gets read or it doesn't. If I don't have time to read a link somebody sends me personally, I just tell them that. I don't string anybody along about a link I know I will never read. I can't allow for any link backlog. That leads to . . . dark places.

Also, I don't really use bookmarks either. When I disable search suggestions and use firefox suggest, it leave more space for history. It works so well I don't really need to bookmark anything. Frequently opened sites make their way to the top on their own.

 

In the image, these are not tabs. These are firefox windows, being rendered as tabs (and as stacks) by sway.

I just switched to sway, and found that browser tabs no longer make sense. They were designed in the UI dark ages to make up for how terrible Windows XP's WM was. Now, though, sway can do tabs just as well as firefox can, and sometimes, even better. It is better to unify the management of all windows under a single WM, rather than this ad hoc mixture of the real, global WM, and a fake firefox-only (or terminal-only) WM. That way, all windows are managed with a single set of keyboard shortcuts.

I also found firefox's toolbar to be way too thick.

So, I used userChrome.css to hide the tab bar and adjust the toolbar's height:

/* Hide the tab bar. */
#TabsToolbar {
    visibility: collapse !important;
}

/* Adjust the toolbar height. */
#urlbar-container {
    --urlbar-container-height: var(--tbh) !important;
}
#urlbar {
    --urlbar-toolbar-height: var(--tbh) !important;
    --urlbar-height: var(--tbh) !important;
}
:root {
    --tbh: 26px !important; /* ToolBar Height. Adjust this one. */
    --toolbarbutton-inner-padding: calc((var(--tbh) - 16px)/2) !important;
    --toolbarbutton-outer-padding: 0px !important;
    --toolbar-start-end-padding: 0px !important;
    --urlbar-margin-inline: 0px !important;
}

Put this file at <profile root>/chrome/userChrome.css. You'll probably have to make the chrome directory. Then, in about:config, set toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true, to get firefox to read userChrome.css. Oh, and don't forget to tell firefox to open new pages in new windows instead of new tabs.

I have also found it useful to map the firefox command to Super-C, so that I can make a new firefox window without needing to have some other firefox window already in focus.

I have also found it useful to keep an empty firefox window open in some unused workspace on its own, so that after I close what I didn't realise was the last open firefox window, firefox does not close entirely.

This is (another!!) one of Drew Devault's projects. Like harelang, it would be a gigantic simplification of existing software. And yes, it is written in harelang.

It was originally a test to see whether harelang could be used for OS development. (It can.)

The same applies to Android OS development. All of it. Android requires a very powerful 1000 USD desktop or laptop computer with 20 gigs of ram and 200 gigs of SSD hard drive space just to compile. This is unacceptable.

Meanwhile, mainline phone linux, like dreemurrs archlinux or postmarketos, can be developed using the same phone it runs on!!!!!!!! All you need is a 20 USD bluetooth keyboard. It is fully awesome. Imagine a world where anybody with just a smartphone and a bluetooth keyboard could be an OS developer!

Oh, neat, Mastodon! I didn't know for sure whether this was reaching Mastodon. I only posted the one image. I didn't know I could post multiple images. Now, I know not to try, for compatibility reasons.

[–] etuomaala@sopuli.xyz 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah, I know. Like I told the other guy, it's a stock image. An image of the real pen wouldn't add anything except ink in the window, and I can't take a better picture than whoever did the stock image. The ink in the window looks entirely unremarkable.

...

/me looks at ink in the window for five minutes with a bright light backlighting the window.

...

Yeah, the ink in there is entirely unremarkable. It's just grey air bubbles and black water. IDK, you want a picture of the ink window anyway?

And very dangerous. If anything happens to my USB drives and all of my many (many many many) backups, they are bricked to me too. My LUKS keys are on that USB drive. And the backups.

30 water : 1 platinum carbon black : 5 yellow : 5 magenta is the mix for octarine.

But seriously, 30 water : 1 platinum carbon black : 10 printer ink is a good starting point for mixing. That is about how sensitive the mix is to each type of ink. Pure printer ink won't ruin the pen, but it bleeds like a motherfucker. If you don't care about the next five pieces of paper, though, you can do some pretty cool stuff with it.

OHHHH, I want that pen. I noticed it the week after I got my Safari, and was like, "NOOOOOOOOOOO!"

There is one ISO and three boot partitions.

First of all, I formatted the USB drive with one vfat partition. Then I copied the contents of the ISO over. That and some prodding in grub.conf is enough to get the ISO working, and there is a whole lot of extra space in the vfat partition.

The entire contents of all of my computers' hard drives is encrypted, but that leaves the boot partition. So I moved the boot partitions onto the vfat partition, each in a separate folder labelled by the host. Then, I added entries to grub.conf for each host. The USB drive boots and a boot menu appears with all of the ISO's entries, plus a list of hosts. I choose the right host, then boot.

(I need the USB drive mounted before I can update the kernel or the microcode.)

  1. An all-black LAMY Safari fountain pen filled with a mix of water, Platinum carbon black, and inkjet printer ink.
  2. A blank sheet of A4, folded in half three times.
  3. My passport.
  4. A fully loaded Secrid card carrier.
  5. A really nice rock. It has been in my pocket for a year. Don't think about it.
  6. A dumb watch. (Casio W-59. Very small, light as a feather. Green LED-backlight LCD display. 50 metre water resist. Tough, within reason. Effectively infinite battery life.)
  7. A beta of the PinePhone Pro, equipped with dreemurrs archlinux.
  8. A USB drive containing all of my computers' boot partitions and Archiso.

Going around asking people who criticize a nation state whether they are also racist is similarly bad faith.

For the last time, it is not clear to me that the guy saying "fuck Israel" is only criticising the government, even with the accompanying context. This is what I've been trying to tell you. It seems clear to everybody else here. Fine.

There are plenty of people blaming Israel and Israelis for what is happening in Gaza. If this guy is one of them, I want to know. Not because I wish to insult him or see him banned, but because I want to better understand him. And he still hasn't answered for himself. His is still the only answer I will accept. I should never have even responded to the other answers. I regret that I did.

Until I hear back from that guy, I'm done with this whole thing.

This one isn't in plaintext this time. I learned from last time that there are issues displaying plaintext on a phone, where there isn't any guarantee of 80 available columns. I thought that wasn't a tall order, but it turns out, it is.

Also, I really wanted links.

And I'm sorry I was so late in posting this. I have trouble finishing things...

 

I'm going to be living in Jyväskylä for about two months. I will be arriving in October. Anybody here living there right now?

 

Käyn pian Suomessa kahden kaukuuden ajan. Voisinko vuokrata asuntoa tämän ajan?

That's supposed to say

I'm visiting Finland soon for two months. Could I rent an apartment for such an amount of time?
