Arch also kinda allows that if you write custom PKGBUILD file. It’s easy to write for simple stuffs that are based on make/cargo etc.
It’s time consuming if some program gives you 100s of lines of code in bash script to install their program though.
Edit:
Another disadvantage of building from source is dependency management. You might accidentally uninstall some dependencies, the standard library versions might change and break your packages, etc.
Can’t you just keybind the switch to that key? I use arch and I have keyboard layout switch between three languages (one is Japanese which might have similar tech/typing style), and the program I use (ibus anthy) allows me to define my keybind.
That’s the obvious one. But you can also add data to images by adding tiny values to the pixels, it’ll still look the same to us (same as printer tiny dots).
I don’t know if phones actually do this. Just saying it’s possible.
But many uploading sites optimize the images, so it’ll be gone on reshare, but they could get it on first upload.
I think most early users do check further than open source licenses. It’s possible they’ll add things later, but if they add after it has enough users we have significant number of users to have some people check. And if the user base is small then they’re probably more involved, or are reading/modifying code for their use cases.
Of course it’s not foolproof, but it has worked for a long time because of things like that
I think for a open source projects with such a low number of users, the first few users will definitely look further than “it’s open source”.
That’s the thing though if it’s open source and 99.9% don’t check that 0.1% checking it will be enough.
Wait, are there repo that just has dating info? You just make PR for your profile. Honestly with GitHub free pages we could definitely do that lol
Then you’re just running bash scripts with bash. You’re not running bash scripts with fish.
The android auto equivalent for cars would be something I’d be interested in, that’s the only reason I had to reenable google on my phone. I don’t see any open source software that do it.
Yeah, Wayland has a lot of security related things that makes your previous solutions not work. X11 was open and allowed you to do anything, but Wayland is secure, and we trade convenience for security.
Communication with other applications and system wide monitoring was easy for scripts in x11.
Crashing through unwrap is not necessarily restoring unsafe behavior of other languages though. I’d consider this wayyyy better than silently continuing with invalid value until the program tries something that doesn’t make sense/is overreaching and it crashes.
Exactly, how do you even fight with the OS except just making it bit hard for them lol. You have to tell the OS what pixels to put in the screen, there’s literally no way you can hide things from the OS if they want to know.
Game controller works fine in the computer. It’s the applications that need to support it. Problem is finding normal applications (not games) support it. I could map the controller to keyboard keys, but it’d be nice to have it work directly.
I am just using Firefox to open web sites for most things. For games I open them directly. And I have kdeconnect to control it from my phone.
Ideally I’d love a launcher that just stays on there forever, with some virtual desktop options where I can open different apps. If it can support game controller to choose apps along side kdeconnect it’d be the best.
I want it to be run as a desktop environment. Is that possible? I already have laptop connected to tv with hdmi. I just use it like a normal computer. But I don’t have any applications that can work well with that setup with TV like UI.
Interesting. I’ve never had anything serious than updating keyring and removing before reinstalling packages. Pacman hasn’t failed me enough to need more than
I only read it when I get error like this to know what I shouldn’t do. Is that acceptable? Always checking the news seems superfluous because most times it goes smoothly, and packman will fail and let you know if it can’t do something.
I mean there’s the EWMM, emacs based windows manager. So it can absolutely do anything.
But doing something because you can, vs because it’s useful is different. I like emacs fo text edit. I open images and pdf in the process of writing documents but that’s about it.
Emacs for everything…
/jk I mean everything text.
I was thinking I’d appreciate a website/community where people talk about potential new open source software ideas and interested people can collaborate. Could be small things. And able to filter by category, language, etc.
But I don’t know how the logistics would work. But at least minor things that could be fun. But it could be abused. It’s just my thoughts when I’m like “I wanna make something this week”. Or when I start something and I don’t have the skills for all components.
