If you like using the mouse alot and you’re more comfortable with clicking than yeah there’s really no point in using a tiler.

I disagree with this. I use keyboard shortcuts for moving my tiles and switching desktops but otherwise I use the mouse. I have found great value in using a tiler, not having to manage windows or having them overlap is awesome.

Worst of all, just setting up a tiling environment is a nightmare. You have to configure the actual compositor/WM, which tools you want to use with it (bar, launcher, screenshot tool, notifications, screenlocker, etc) and configure all those too, ideally with some basic theming to make them look coherent. But inevitably you end up with missing functionality especially in the modern area where an app might be sandboxed or expecting all xdg-portals to be implemented, which most compositors don’t do.

Khronkite is worth checking out in relation to this point. It requires minimal setup (keybinds + choosing tiling layout) so it’s a good introduction to tiling WMs. I’m guessing more experienced users would prefer more control but I like it just fine.

Holy shit, I have not read Dinosaur Comics in a LONG time, thanks for the nostalgia~

FSF announces librephone project

It was absolutely not underrated.

John Lithgow received an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for each year the show was broadcast, winning the Emmy in 1996, 1997, and 1999.

From my limited research it looks as though the Punkt mp02 is the best bet for a private dumbphone. It does use a propriety OS but at least it supports Signal.

I had a similar issue where I wanted to use my Xbox Series X to play Jellyfin but there was no client available. I ended up switching from Plex to Emby. I tested it for a month and then bought a lifetime pass, I’m quite happy with it. The client definitely isn’t as polished as Plex’s clients are but they allow me to do everything I want with much more control. I especially like the plugin system, being able to create my own persistent 24/7 faux tv channels is A++

It’s a great way to find the ISBN to chuck into annas or MaM

Which extension are you referring to? Is it the standard Wayback Machine extension or a youtube specific one?

The only way to stop our dependence on fossil fuels is to make them commercially nonviable.

Why the fuck would you buy a smart fridge.

My girlfriends laptop came with S mode and holy shit, I just about threw it out the window. I knew Windows 11 would be dogshit but when I couldn’t run firefoxinstaller.exe I got so annoyed. I then spent ~30 minutes troubleshooting how to allow running fucking exes as the guides were all out of date, including the one that were a month old.

I’ve been using Linux and XP for a few years now and god damn does it feel gross to use Win11. Not having control over your own PC is disgusting.

I’m using Grayjay on android, I wonder how the feature set compares to Revanced? I like that Grayjay has sponsorblock built in.

I tried to find out how DAP identifies users and I think it’s based on device fingerprinting rather than IP address. So, I think, if you were to use two separate linux devices to access a .gov site using DAP it would register as two separate users. I don’t believe frequency of use matters.

You don’t necessarily have to make yourself look good if you make the other guy look worse.

It’s to manage cd-keys for my physical games.

I want it to work offline as I don’t want to connect my XP machines to the internet.

Thanks heaps for the idea. I could definitely do it on Linux via a script and it looks like XP has findstr.

It shouldn’t require parsing text files intelligently either. If each line is [Game Name] - [CD-Key], it can just spit the whole line out.

Fuck the paywall:

MAGA lawmaker Mike Collins lobbed a political grenade into efforts from Team Trump to limit his exposure to fallout from the Epstein files. Georgia Rep. Collins made a bombshell admission, that he believes Donald Trump’s name will be in the files, at a county GOP meeting, the Washington Examiner reported.

A constituent asked the MAGA lawmaker whether he believed Trump was in the files related to Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender who died by suicide while in federal custody in New York City in August 2019 as he awaited trial on new sex trafficking charges.

“Yeah, I’m sure he’s in there,” Collins said, without providing evidence, according to an audio clip of the exchange uploaded to YouTube, titled, “HOT MIC: Republican caught saying Trump IS IN THE EPSTEIN FILES!”

The White House has repeatedly pushed back after reports emerged that Trump was told in May that he was in files related to Epstein. Trump and Epstein were once friendly, but the president said they fell out in 2004.

The Daily Beast contacted the White House and Collins for comment.

Collins said he believed Trump was in the documents because the president “was the one that was telling the FBI about it.”

“He’s the one that kicked [Epstein] out of Mar-a-Lago and then called the FBI,” the lawmaker continued, repeating his claim: “Yeah, yeah he’s in there.”

“So, what’s going to happen? Are you going to vote to release them?” the constituent asked.

“Oh, we need to release them. I have no problem releasing it, but you’ve got to go through the judicial,” Collins responded.

The MAGA lawmaker added, “I’m not a lawyer and I’m not a judge, but it is more complicated than just saying, ‘boom, here’s the files.’”

In a statement to the Washington Examiner, a Collins campaign spokesman said, “Mike’s words speak for themselves: President Trump was right about everything, kicked Epstein to the curb, and did nothing wrong. This ‘story’ is a massive nothingburger from never-Trump consultants using DNC talking points. They won’t stop Mike’s momentum delivering results for the America First agenda. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

In July, The Wall Street Journal reported that Attorney General Pam Bondi told Trump during a routine briefing that his name appeared in the files. The newspaper said that this did not indicate any wrongdoing on his part.” The White House in response called it a “fake news story”.

In June, billionaire SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk also claimed, then appeared to backtrack, that Trump was named in the Epstein files.

Trump “is in the Epstein files,” he wrote in a post on X as he and the president engaged in a bitter online feud. He alleged that “that is the real reason they have not been made public.” Musk signed the post off by writing: “Have a nice day, DJT!”

Musk added in a follow-up post: “Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”

At the time, Trump brushed off the claims in an interview with NBC News.

“That’s called ‘old news.’ That’s been old news. That has been talked about for years. Even Epstein’s lawyer said I had nothing to do with it. It’s old news,” the president said.

Officials in the first Trump administration determined that Epstein’s death was a suicide, but conspiracy theories that he was killed to shield high-profile individuals have proliferated nonetheless.

The Trump administration, in February, declassified and released files related to Epstein, but they were highly redacted and did not offer major revelations. The FBI said in a July memo that a “systematic review revealed no incriminating ‘client list.”
