It’s awesome how Calvin’s non-entity status here is shown through the framing of the last panel. It’s like Susie, and Hobbes, and even Watterson agree.

The walrus was Paul.

Remarkable eink tablets. Buried deep in the settings they actually give you the root password so you can SSH in. Also, it comes with an epic .vimrc file.

Settings/customizations file for legendary text editor vim. Remarkable’s comes with a lot of stuff built-in.

everett,

Yep, that’s when you make a movie using the acting method.

I’ve never used it but Majola seems to still be active.

AlternativeTo lists open source alternatives to AlternativeTo.

hot button topic

What is a small .EPUB reader that is easy to install for my small Puppy remaster?

My question is basically the title. I’m making my own Puppy Linux remaster and it already has a .PDF reader for it that is very small. I think it’s called Evince? It has a native GTK UI and starts in a second, uses very little RAM and CPU. Now I need a .EPUB reader. I’ve seen a couple different .EPUB reader apps out there...

You’re going to have a web browser installed, right? .epub files are just zips with HTML/images/CSS inside. Just find the HTML file with named “toc” and go from there.

everett,

Imagine not learning your lesson about going for the hook.

everett,

Well, do I smell jelly donuts? This is my lucky day!

Happy to hear if there are glaring problems with this approach, but if you can assume files named with version numbers, you can use a script to always launch the newest…


<span style="color:#323232;">#!/bin/bash
</span><span style="color:#323232;">cd ~/Downloads
</span><span style="color:#323232;">chmod +x $(ls | grep Appname.*AppImage$ | sort -rV | head -n 1)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">./$(ls | grep Appname.*AppImage$ | sort -rV | head -n 1)
</span>

Or you could change the script to sort by file modified date and launch the newest.

edit: Discovered an issue with version numbering like .10 and learned about the sort -V switch that fixes it!

everett,

They’re going to start posting comics so they match up with their original publication dates.

everett,

The meme, which wasn’t well-written, is suggesting that the cost savings of switching to Linux isn’t significant to most people. It’s saying

Most people

  • don’t care enough
  • have enough money

rather than

Most people don’t

  • care enough
  • have enough money
everett,

Or for laptops with no Ethernet, USB-tether a phone.

everett,

So this was the plan all along… get a nationally-syndicated comic strip, corrupt the youth and bug parents all across America. We’re onto you, Water-son.

everett,

As someone who legitimately likes the idea of cooking but rarely does it ^and^ ^uh,^ ^has^ ^a^ ^sous^ ^vide^ ^gathering^ ^dust^ this sounds like it’s 100% for me. I subscribed!

everett,

So you saw that ludicrous display last night?

Is there any plugin or way to block forced registration

I have long been tired of the fact that I can not normally use 90% of sites without registration. I’m not going to create an account in order to read a post that interests me right now. But today was the last straw. Fucking Tumblr makes me create an account just to find and read 1 POST. (Sorry for mistakes, I am non English...

everett,

I’ve started doing a modified version of this too. If there’s any kind of roadblock in front of the content, I’ll ask myself to be honest about how important it’s likely to be to me… and maybe like seven or eight times out of ten I’ll just close it and move on, no regrets.

I apply this thinking to captchas as well, though my skip rate is probably a bit lower.

everett,

Here’s one I started planning but never got around to actually pulling off. My team had recently moved from Windows to Mac, had a habit of leaving for lunch at the same time and for some reason never, ever locked their screens.

The prank would go like this: I’d grab a copy of a classic Mac emulator, a System 7 disk image and copies of all the Adobe apps circa 1980-whatever, so that they would come back from lunch one day to find all their beefy new Macbook Pros “downgraded” to looking like this, complete with working Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.

I deeply regret not doing this.

everett,
