Do you want cool & slow fascism or hot & spicy? That was the choice.

Sounds like you need a browser tho. UnifiedPush & MQTT work without a browser with WebPush support.

I still want to know if MQTT already did this & UnifiedPush is just a startup trying to reimplement the same concept

To upgrade the UEFI or other hardware-level firmware you need a way to upgrade. Best OEMs use LFVS; good OEMs use have ISOs or bin files you can flash from UEFI; terrible OEMs lock that into a Windows-only executable.

In my case there was a fan & thermal update I was never able to get.

I find myself not often using my open hardware USB security token since it is inconvenient to use a dongle (same reason phones should never have dropped headphone jacks)

None.

I had a Razer laptop in the past when they were talking about being dev laptop forward & supporting Linux.

This never happened. Instead flashing Linux voids the warranty now, support drops you, & firmware upgrades only happen thru a green-accented genuine Microsoft Windows GUI installation (no *.bin flashing, no CLI FreeDOS support, no Windows PE).

The USB 2 is for a mouse or keyboard as extra bandwidth does nothing.

I can’t relate tho. My laptop only has two USB4 with type-C connectors. I really wish it tad at least one type-A connection. Luckily unlike my last laptop, at least this one has a headphone jack (I guess ASUS learned from their folly & never skipped the jack on future models).

Haskell devs like to write code, not maintain it. A bunch of libraries get written, but get abandoned shortly after for something new & shiny.

services.miniflux.enable = true on NixOS is even easier

China, IL would be on my list

How on Earth do you lose this support in the handover shuffle—especially knowing the audience a third-party email client? I would say it shouldn’t be released if F-Droid support isn’t there since it isn’t something you would want to back-burner.

One important thing K-9 does that this doesn’t: realese on F-Droid.

What is this? At least provide a repository like DivestOS… while you are at it, get the code for the free software off of proprietary Microsoft GitHub.

 

This has never worked in Firefox. Fx doesn’t follow en_DK for dates & even if I set/leave my preferences @ en_US as default, I still get terrible defaults like dd/mm/yyyy & commas for decimal separators at least on my machine even if I toggle on/off the use system locale option. Is LibreWolf in a position to be the first Fx fork to support ISO 8601 date formats (with nerds rejoicing everywhere)?

Acronyms/intialism use capital letters to encode information about words. Losing that information is a mistake. SᴍᴀʟʟCᴀᴘCᴀsᴇ is now considered a best practice.

…Or consider snake_case or kebab-case 🤷

 

Usually I rely on my network & haven’t needed this kind of document in ages, but I’ve been tasked with creating a résumé for myself. I’ve grown more privacy-conscious every year & I think it’s weird that we are expected to give out so much information about ourselves to companies that lie about their culture & don’t want you sharing salary information with your coworkers. I have read stories about how these documents & information can sometimes get leaked & shared on the web which is pretty sketch.

TIL about “functional résumés” which it appears are usually meant to cover up your lack of work experience, but I like the idea of covering up a lot of my specific history as it is the skills that should matter more, no? Do you give out all of your info?
