Speaking of buying weird niche items from Amazon: I’ve ordered spare parts and other weird and obscure electronics from Amazon so many times that now they think I’m a company and that I should have a company account.

How did this happen? If I want to buy normal stuff, I’ll walk to a normal store and buy it there. If I need something a bit more special, I’ll probably find it somewhere within a 2000 km radius. If nobody sells what I need, I’ll try Amazon. That’s why my shopping history looks like I’m running some special company.

Well, it’s still a rumor at this point, so who knows what’s actually going to happen. If they actually do that, I’m going to stick with my current buds until they die. If buying second hand buds doesn’t work out, I may have to go back to Bose or Sennheiser.

That would be a very nice option. In some apps, 0=infinite, while the other numbers work as expected.

They’re all surrounded by controversies, so obviously you shouldn’t use any of them as your main browser. However, using a shady browser for nothing other than watching YT with a specific account mitigates the privacy issues to some extent. Due to the annoyingly sandboxy nature of iOS and iPadOS, normal spyware isn’t going to be able do much there, so I wouldn’t be too worried about that. If these apps pull some real exploits to get to my data, that’s a different matter alltogether.

Yattee is great if you don’t care about logging in.

If you do, there are still ways to block the ads by using an ad blocker for Safari or even using a different browser such as avast, opera or brave. You may need to tweak some settings, so it’s not guaranteed to be a plug and play experience. Even if a browser works with iOS, it might not work in iPadOS, so be prepared to try lots of different things.

The year of the Linux desktop is upon us. The prophecy has been foretold by the sages of the code. A new dawn is on the horizon. A new era of freedom an power approaches as more and more disks are cleansed by the mighty forces set free by Stallmann and Torvalds. No more shall the users be enslaved by proprietary software and restrictive licenses.

The Year of the Linux Desktop is upon us, and nothing can stop it.

Seriously though, limiting the macro length to something reasonable should work, but it’s also guaranteed to make some people mad. I’m sure there’s at least one user who is working on something absurdly obscure that requires a macro long enough to reach beyond the edge of the observable universe.

My solution is to make the default behavior sensible, while proving a special option for that one guy. Just limit it for the average user, but not for everyone.

Please dig a little bit deeper. You may end up with a stack of links to 404 sites instead of actual sources. Just because you copied a citation from WP doesn’t mean the source actually exists, let alone contains the information you seek.

Some people at the university are… how should I phrase this…colorful personalities? I would not be surprised if the scientists in question has been dreaming of a project like this since they were 4 years old.

If they ditch the silicone tips, how are they expecting to achieve premium fit and noise cancelling? Seems like a bad move IMO.

Shitposting in a science community. Well played.

Once I found some nice maple leaves, so I put them in a cheap photo frame and hung them on the wall. It looked nice, do I expanded on the idea and started doing lots of these picture frames with dry leaves in them. The best one I have is an A4 paper completely covered in nettle leaves. They also form a fish scale pattern, which makes it look really cool.
