infeeeee, to archaeology in I Watched Ancient Apocalypse So You Don't Have To (Part 1)

The actual “doc” is a pseudo archeologist bullshitting, so it’s not the same.

My dirty pleasure was watching Ancient Aliens for some time. I always paused the show when they started to speak about a new topic, read the actual facts on wikipedia, than laughed through the episode. In this kind of shows they mix facts with legends and theorems and straight up bullshit, and don’t tell you what is what. So no, it’s absolutely not the same.

infeeeee, (edited ) to linux in Nautilus File Manager Gets More Features Ahead of the GNOME 46 Release - 9to5Linux

Yes, Gnome is context aware if you ctrl+c a an image file, and you paste it to a text editor it will paste it as a path, if you paste it in an image editor it will be pasted as an image, if the program supports it (e.g. it works in Krita, but not in Pinta)

Drag and drop is not working because of Wayland. Between 2 windows of the same app, e.g. Nautilus it’s working.

infeeeee, to linuxmemes in Look at that fragmentation!

That was WSL1. WSL2 is just a vm: devtopics.com/wsl1-vs-wsl2-a-comparison-and-guide…

infeeeee, to linux in Which terminal emulator do you use?

Black box. If you use Gnome, highly recommended.

infeeeee, to privacy in Can I edit .docx files without a Microsoft 365 subscription and if not are there any alternatives

Yeah, wiki says it’s 6000 pages. But that’s not that long compared to other similar file standards, and it also contains pptx and xlsx.

For comparison PDF standard is about 1000 pages, HTML (without CSS, just pure HTML) is 1500 pages.

Docx is not a proprietary format, it’s a standard, it’s called Office Open XML: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML

And M$ published its specifications, so Libreoffice devs could support it. But here comes the funny part: M$ (deliberately?) doesn’t follow the specification it published. So the formatting problems of LibreOffice come from M$, because they don’t follow their specs, but M$ can just do whatever they want because of its market share.

I read this story a long time ago, and I’m paraphrasing, but on this wiki page you can read a lot of controversies related to this format: en.wikipedia.org/…/Standardization_of_Office_Open…

infeeeee, to historyporn in The Texas Superconducting Super Collider under construction, 1990s.

Since the last hbomberguy video I’m a bit sceptical about long format youtube essays by random youtubers. Should I watch this? I havent heard about this broccoli guy before, but on tvtropes they write that the third part of this video was removed originally due to a copyright claim: tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16506531…

Isn’t this just some wiki articles read out loud, right?

infeeeee, (edited ) to linux in Surface Go 2 with 4GB Ram and 4425Y worth it?

It’s a 10" tablet, how big is your pocket?

My bigger concern checking its specs is this:

Storage: 64 GB eMMC Flash, 64 GB

Unlike ram, ssds die after some use. So the lifespan of this device depends on this SD card, eMMC is basically a soldered SD card, a bad quality ssd. I have 3 old tablets with dead eMMC, they are otherwise perfectly fine devices, but unusable for anything

I’m not too familiar with the surface lineup, but iirc there are higher end devices with replaceable ssds. I think soldered ram is not a big deal in this form factor if it’s enough for the expected use case, but a soldered hard drive lowers the lifespan of your device

infeeeee, to linux in Testing packaging which targets multiple distributions?

Docker doesn’t like systemd for some reason, podman is the way in this case: …redhat.com/…/how-to-run-systemd-in-a-container#

infeeeee, to linux in Linux market share on Steam over time (Sep 2023 - 1.63%)

Why? I’m really curious why you think that. Or what do you mean with this comment.
