Fish is my favorite. I can barely do without it. Only downside is some bash commands donât work on it without modification.
But Iâm also having a ton of fun right now with xonsh which lets you use python and bash together.
With his setup, Iâm amazed that anything is working at all. Itâs impressive that itâs working as well as it is.
And yeah, the false expectations part. Itâs a pitfall for most people. It would actually be really interesting to watch someone who only grew up using Linux try and switch to Windows. I wonder how much more or less confusing it would be to them. That would be a good way to compare what is a true problem and what is just expectations. Windows has tons of quirks and bad design that people have normalized and learned to live with and have become non issues.
Thatâs exactly why theyâre doing it. To âprotect the brandsâ. Brands donât want bad press or for others to know that people are mad at them.
Brands include media and governments. Not only does it hide bad press and community consensus, it helps them control what the public sees and believes. It also further hides any sort of manipulation theyâd like to do (either with vote counts, or with the recommendation algorithms).
Purely conspiracy theory here, but this comes just after the reveal that the FBI tried to get user info. Maybe the FBI werenât happy with the lack of records Signal were keeping and this is a compromise. We have seen this sort of thing before. Gov wants info, an extra closed layer is created. If itâs not this, the timing is unfortunate.
Anyway, the blog post is very vague. In all those paragraphs they donât even mention how this new implementation works. Just that the way it works now isnât enough. Maybe the interfaces they mention becoming public will help understand it better, but of course the code is closed and unreleased so weâll never really know.
Vitamin C is part of the official NIH Covid-19 Guidelines.
You canât just say âJust get the vaccineâ and stop there. Thatâs the opposite of science. Anything that has any potential to help people should be studied. Especially in cases where the medicine is highly available and low cost for disadvantaged people around the world.
Also, lots of medications (including ivermectin) are addressed in the official guidelines.
I have zero interest in getting in an argument for what people should or shouldnât take. But to constantly refer to ivermectin as a âhorse dewormerâ is disinformation of a different kind. Itâs FUD. And itâs harmful. Itâs a great drug for certain human conditions and to fear monger it could really have a negative effect on people who might actually need it for treatment.
When people were doing this with Hydroxychloroquine it made it very difficult to get. My mother legitimately needed it for her health treatment and because people kept using it as a political issue it made it very difficult.
So I think instead of vilifying people or medications that can be used to help people, just stick to the truth. Thereâs no consensus. Thereâs no harm in studying it. Talk to your Dr.
I really like OpenLauncher! Itâs nice looking and very responsive even on my very old phone. It does folder/category grouping on the desktop/dock, supports gestures and supports icon packs and color theming. I canât set the wallpaper directly with OpenLauncher, but I usually set those with the gallery app and that works fine for me.
Have you tried MusicBrainz Picard?
If I understand right, you ripped a bunch of CDs using FreeDB but now want to use the MusicBrainz tags? Picard should be able to do that in bulk.
Good. That was an overreaction and a little silly.
Ethical issues aside, the research does highlight valid problems. Iâd like to see the maintainers or the Linux Foundation address those problems and at least begin a discussion on how they could make the system better in the future to strengthen the review process.
Couldnât this always be done by the developer using their own CSS via GtkCssProvider?
