Man, I saw them initiating discussions around the name like a year ago. I did not expect anything to actually come from that after all this time. But yeah, glad that it did.

Now we just need a better default font. 🙃

I find the increased world height much more important. Luanti can generate actual mountains, and caves where you’ll want to bring ladders for your descent.
It was the first time, I felt like it made sense to build minecarts and intermediate mining bases, because the ores reach far deeper.

There’s a condition where people may sweat less or not at all: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypohidrosis

Not as great as it might sound at first…

I feel like the main problem with balenaEtcher is that it requires downloading 150 MB, for a software that many people will use only once before a reinstall.
If you’re in a rich country, you might hardly notice, but for poorer countries, this is an insane ask, especially if it just improves convenience mildly.

But yeah, ultimately any such tool is going to face the problem that no matter how easy it is to use, you need to first install it, which needs to be explained.
The usage of dd also needs explaining, but you don’t need to install it.

Well, and another factor is that dd has been around since the dawn of time. Software like balenaEtcher tends to go unmaintained after a few years, at which point any documentation referencing it, will need to be rewritten. And it’s usually rewritten to reference dd instead, before a new convenient software emerges…

You can pick out a company and sue them.

It’s the way Markdown works. If you put two spaces at the end of a line
before hitting enter, then it will only do a normal linebreak.

Yeah, this could just be someone pretending to be the actual developer.

Most of those popups are illegal, according to the GDPR. Both opt-in and opt-out need to be just as easily possible.

The longest was probably the vegetarian → vegan pipeline.
My position was that ‘employment’ of animals was humanely possible, if you genuinely treated them like you’d want to be treated.

It was until I read how cows need to basically be kept continuously pregnant, that I realized there was just no way.
I believe, you could have a bite of cheese every year or so, if we don’t do forceful impregnation, but at that point, why even bother?

Fun fact, it was originally made from the roots of the marsh mallow: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Althaea_officinalis

Looks like a cool software from a usability viewpoint, and that machine learning recipe import is probably actually quite useful for archiving other people’s recipes.

But for long-term archiving, I think just a bunch of Markdown files + images are a better choice.
To still get a searchable webpage, personally I’d use mdBook.

To me, the Chromium UI looks and feels like a toy…

You must’ve misread that, it says “100% Vitamin C” right on the packaging.

It’s pure ascorbic acid.

The most feature-rich RSS reader that I’m aware of, is QuiteRSS. I don’t actually know, though, if it has PDF/ePUB export…

I’m guessing, they did it this way, because there’s no persistent process to keep the decrypted files open. You’d need to ask the user for the password for every single command they run. With GPG, that persistent process is gpg-agent.

Of course, encryption with a GPG key is also going to be more secure than the longest password you can come up with.

I guess, many people will want access to GPG, too, if they want access to their passwords, so they’re not bothered by it.
But yeah, I do also remember setting that up on Android, where you need a separate app to do the GPG, and it really stops feeling simple pretty quickly…

It’s a password manager that’s conceptually kept as simple as possible. It’s essentially just a bunch of GPG-encrypted files in a folder structure. But you can then get various GUIs and apps to interact with it, if you prefer.

Using a Chromium-based browser when you’re bother by ad tech makes no sense whatsoever. Chromium is mostly developed by an ad company.

Man, it really is like an extremely dense but dedicated intern. Does not question for a moment why it’s supposed to make fun of an interval, but delivers a complete essay.

Just make sure to never say “let’s eat Grandpa” around an AI or it’ll have half the leg chomped down before you can clarify that a comma is missing.

Normally, the process is:

• install the packages for the desktop environment
• log out (not just locking the screen)
• find a dropdown or cogwheel where you can select the other desktop environment
• log in

Having said that, I don’t know what you mean with “graceful”. Desktop environments may involve lots of packages, which may create configuration files in your home directory or get auto-started in your other DEs, so it can be messy.
Something minimal, like LXQt or the various window managers, isn’t going to cause much of a mess, though.

I guess, creating a second user with a separate home-directory, like the other person suggested, would isolate that potential mess…

Man, you’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, much less its title, but when I heard “Throne and Liberty” for the first time, it immediately sounded like something lazily slapped together. I guess, it makes sense that specifically the localization is lazily slapped together.
