TIL nurdles.

A Tip: some IT departments allow software from the Mac app store, so I would recommend UTM for easy Linux virtualization . Other apps have better features, but are a little more involved to set up.

Oh I see. Sorry I misunderstood your usecase. Then customising XQuartz or just running a VM with a shared folder seems to be the best option (if your employer allows them).

Oh that’s sad. Last version of MacOS I used was 11 or 12, and things like keyboard shortcuts and mouse behaviour stopped working randomly there too. Guess the detoriation of their GUI hasn’t slowed down.

For what it’s worth I used some drag and drop shelf tool, closed source, a mix of macboard and dropover, can’t find it right now.

But on Mac if you already selected it, why not drag it to copy? (No mod key in terminal, alt key for all other cases)

Does XCode still have Emacs shortcuts? Otherwise I recommend learning the platform specific shortcuts. It gives a much better idea what the platform can do for you.

I read something about super flat RAM with 512 lane ball connections? As a Cheap and fast alternative to hbm?

Industry standard CPU socket?

Thin Graphics Cards with less than 80 watt power draw?

Nooo it was just a dream.

In reality it is much more profitable if every hardware vendor makes their own console-like PC. Unfortunately Intel is treading water. Wildly flinging any idea into the world and see if anything sticks. I do not think they have the money to get to the extend part. But one can dream.

I used a Fairphone 4 with /e/ and it was good. Not great, but useable. I expect the hardware bugs I ran into (using the camera only worked like 20 times before the phone needed a restart, Bluetooth randomly not working) to be ironed out by now. Currently on an old Samsung and it is more solid, but I also liked the environmentalism with the fairphone. Anyone with a Fairphone 5 and something like a glucose sensor thats in constant use?

As someone who worked IT, confusion is good for business. I’m only half joking.

fedora says it’s a bug in kiwi. I presume they are waiting for upstream to fix this. Parsing this glancingly, found this issue with kiwi and it’s beeing fixed. Thank you for the pointer, I’ll wait for the next release of Live Images. (Install images are not effected).

That is a cool list you dug up. I wish our clients would make it easier for all of us to identify these duplicates more easily.

As an aside: Social media polls provide a powerful, real-time tool for gauging public sentiment and refining messaging strategies.

How was your experience with Librivox? I personally found it a bit lacking in the current affairs department 😉. (Although I found Quartermain highly entertaining)

Seriously speaking though: I recently purchased the audio book of Picks and Shovels directly from the author. I hope this is the way of the future. I too am dependent on audible and hate every second.

Funny enough my surgeon on one of my bike accidents was also an avid cyclist. I got to tell him about the virtues of fixies, he told me about his beautiful racing bike and how he keeps his derailleurs functioning smoothly.

But yes I will drive extremely carefully near our hospitals. Too many overwhelmed stressed out people there.

It’s been a long time, but isn’t this the default for the Graphical Formula Editor in Microsoft Word? (As in you could just use the * operator and word would print it as-is, not replace it with the multiplication sign)

At this occasion I think it adds to the insanity. It makes it look like the nurse is a pationt too, with her trying to roll away a normal chair

4090s are what price now? Didn’t keep track, I’m astonished. never thought I’d see the day when Apples RAM pricing is seen as competitive.

Just FYI: The “Mac Studio” when equipped with 32-core M3Ultra processors can have up to 512GB of RAM.

It costs like 15k after taxes, so not exactly the scope of this thread, but it exists.

As someone who was denied treatment for my ADHD because I am able to hold a job (diagnosed late in life) I’m curious: why on earth would doctors deny treatment the other way around too? That sounds so illogical.

If I’m intruding too much - just dont reply, I understand.

That is so good and satisfying to hear.

I’m also currently almost exclusively on Linux. My Spouse has a Fedora powered Notebook with a super fast 8/16 core amd processor and loves it dearly. (Cannot remember the maker, but since the BIOS/setup was huge PITA I wont be buying from them again.) I used to love the simplicity and light-weighted -ness of apples setup, but over the years Linux systems made it far easier to use them as a “digital hub”. Turns out I did not enjoy selling my soul to Satan (Oracle Virtualbox) or pay an extra 100 bucks per year (Corel Parallels) just so I could use a few windows only tools I had.

having not heard about any of this, to everyone OOTL as me, have an article.

Two things stood out: out:

• he was not in Madison square garden, but some other property the company has control over.
• last year a judge dismissed a lawsuit that claimed such bans violate the law (privacy law in this case, PDF link from article)

Ho.Lee.Fuck

“I suspect that’s a mistery we will not figure out in our lifetimes.”

Politicians and policy makers probably.
