it’s interesting they call it windows subsystem for linux

- oh, so it’s a subsystem for Linux?

- no, it’s a windows subsystem

- …for Linux?

- kind of, I guess

Right, the Mullvad app now has a warning that Android’s “block connections without VPN” disables both split tunneling and local network discovery. So it must be off when using KDE connect.

fwiw the optical one in the Pixel 8 I use is pretty good and works better than the ultrasonic of my old Samsung, which was a disaster.

I briefly checked that the other day and it doesn’t seem to be the case. To my knowledge, the GNSS hardware will gather info on all available (supported + reachable) constellations to give the best location estimate.

There are ways to get raw measurements in some devices, but that’d be at the application level so I think it’s not what you’re looking for.

fwiw, you don’t need long gestures if you make them faster. Which phone are you using?

Wireless devices let me use 2 different tables and an armchair+TV. That would simply not be an option otherwise.

The benefits of going wireless vastly outweigh an occasional connection annoyance to me. And worst case I can still plug them in.

I use rustdesk for remote desktop. Screen sharing is usually on zoom as it’s what my workplace uses.

Good, I realized cursors weren’t vectorized when using the cursor shake feature

kali is for posers, professionals use hannah montana

I get the meaning of restricted, but I don’t think this makes sense here. My list of restricted apps has apps with small but non-zero data; so why is the list implying that restricted apps have no data used.

but modal editing is exactly what I don’t like about vim

I knew she was cheating on me

they do

I’ve used plenty of sshfs a few years ago, but x11 forwarding is a compromise. The latency makes it painful to work with for more than a few minutes.

Same, ranger was painfully slow at times. For some reason it would take multiple seconds to start on a few machines I connected it to.

I can’t believe no one mentioned this, but: remote access.

I spend most of my day connected to machines via SSH and yazi offers a great UX with file previews and all. Using kitty I even get image previews in the terminal.

don’t forget to activate your linux distro

get rid of companies making money off the FOSS

I’m afraid if we discourage companies from adopting open source we’ll end up with even more closed source garbage.

There are industry sectors where closed source is the norm, and it just leads to more vendor lock-in and less standardization and interop.

I’m a bit young to say for sure, but I believe closed source was the norm in the software world 20-30 years ago and openness was stigmatized. I certainly don’t want to live in that world.

it does work though, on windows i can see ads and intrusive crap all the time. Linux distros don’t bother you at all, it’s like linux is not even trying at this point.
