It can be really good for text to speech and speech to text applications for disabled or people with learning disabilities.

However it gets really funny and weird when it tries to read advanced mathematics formulas.

I have also heard decent arguments for translation although in most cases it would still be better to learn the language or use a professional translator.

I wonder is this is before his strange planet series.

Not hotdog

I’ve been running Manjaro for about 6 years. I’ve only had self induced issues.

• I restarted during a GPU driver update
• I only used pacman to do system updates and it kept failing. I needed to use pamac for those round of updates instead.

Arch is a better OS in that you have more control of exactly what it will do. But Manjaro also provides a great experience out of the box with all the major DEs. It really comes down to how much convenience are you willing to trade for control.

For what it’s worth, I’ve only noticed the slower Manjaro repo helping me once when steam fonts broke on the arch repo. So I basically had a warning and was able to switch to the beta version of the steam client to avoid that issue. So the slower Manjaro repo is not a selling point IMO, but the DE tweaks and configurations are.

Pass for personal use is great. Especially if paired with a self hosted private git repo like gitea.

Pass works well on all platforms I’ve tried, even android and wsl (although I’ve not tried with iPhone).

In a corporate setting. The biggest questions is going to be if there is already a secret store that has an API. If security will let you roll your own. How is it allowed to be networked. Who are the preferred vendors and is there any enterprise support available.

The best thing about arch is the wiki.

That said, on a laptop, you will likely need prime, optimus, or bumblebee depending on your CPU/GPU.

You would have to make the glass, transport it and make it into window pane, so not much different.

Wood is compostable. But I wonder if making it transparent makes it something you wouldn’t want to grow food with.

Edit: they plan to add epoxy resin which would make the wood something you definitely don’t want to compost and would probably also leach EAs.

It might be a better insulator? Tipple pane glass is fine until the seal breaks and gas leaks out.

I once heard that there is a theory that things written on yellow is more memorable. Which is why the default original color for legal pads, post-its, and highlighters is yellow.

So yellow should be what ever you need to memorize more. So it depends on your teacher and how much of the subject matter needs to be memorized. I’d say it should be history as there are a lot of dates and minute details, but I could also understand it being used for any subject that needs memorization like foreign languages, science, and even math.

Blue and green are both calming colors so those should either be reserved for that classes that give you the most stress or the classes that benefit the most from being calm, like creative writing or music.

Red is an exciting color, use it on what ever subject you are most confident i or interested in.

I guess I think the bearded guy (wait…it that a beard or just a long mustache?) Is using my system correctly.

Also, with gitea the table of contents for org files are properly rendered in HTML as it should be. As someone that uses org-mode this is a reason to avoid gitlab.

But for most people I’d say the less resources that gitea requires means you save on compute and ultimately is cheaper to host.

I’ve been running my own gitea server on kubernetes and with istio for over 3 years with no issues.

If you like xfce, I think that kde is more similar to it than gnome. So I would recommend giving kde a try too.

An easy way to test out both is to just use a live image booted from a USB. You could always install them to your everyday PC but then you have a lot more packages installed and I personally would rather keep my installed packages to a minimum. If you can’t do a live cd because your os doesn’t provide one then I would try a vm or a different drive that you can boot into.

On my phone, I’ve been using newpipe for a few years with little complaints. I can import my Google account subscriptions to it but I can’t comment or rate.

On my home theater PC I have been watching YouTube via Kodi with a Google API for over 6 years. It works excellent and there is no ads. Although Google may at any time revoke access to the API or charge me a fee to use it. It is kinda technical to set up and requires Kodi which is a rather large package with a lot of python dependencies. So if you only want to watch YouTube and don’t want to set up a Google API or read a doc then it might not be for you.

Others comments here mentioned freetube which looks really promising and I might try it on my laptop.

I guess the trakt API could be used for this…but their database won’t have YouTube videos in it.

You should try playing games on Linux with proton. It’s gotten so good in the past 3 years that I have not wanted to play games on Windows since COVID.

I have only seen games not work on Linux when it required a rootkit and I don’t care to have that installed outside of a sandbox anyway.

If there is still a place for windows, it’s for games that require root kits and for the handful of specialized software that won’t run on Linux.

Even when a company forces me to use a windows laptop, I just install arch in wsl2 and do all my work there.

It’s also a way to steal pay from any employees that were paid in stocks and haven’t been fully vetted yet.

Amazon is notorious for paying less salary in currency and more in stocks that will take like 3 years before they belong to the employees.

It will depend on the update.

Either way, If I want to have a windows install, it’s either

• in a vm
• on a different physical disk that is kept physically unplugged from the motherboard until it is needed and then I’ll plug it in while unseating the Linux drives and any other drives windows does not need access to
• a different computer

Dual booting is fine if you are using 2 Linux OSes.

If one partition has windows installed an update can hijack the Linux partition or remove the grub.

Yeah, it’s all in grams.

It’s just a very small increment so it’s more useful than ounces for me (maybe this goes back into the whole study abroad thing, although I never did that).

And even though it’s all liquid, I find it a lot easier to measure by weight than using a measuring cup or jigger.

Especially if making fresh espresso, I’m going to dial in my shot by weight anyway so I don’t make bitter espresso. So I’ll have a cheap scale that is accurate within 0.01 grams at the ready.

Place a couple ice cubes in the glass first. Then,

• 15 g absinthe, stir till opaque
• 20 g cocchi Americano
• 10 g grand Marnier
• 5 g hazelnut syrup
• double shot of espresso (mine is dialed in at 36 grams)

Admittedly, it’s a bit light on the absinthe.

I also recommend using a German/Austrian absinthe if possible.

I call it “the early bird gets the wormword” but I’m not too inlove with the name.

I guess my espresso absinthe martini is the one that did psychedelics when they studied abroad.
