Chromium is open source, Google bases their Chrome off of it, but Chrome is not open source.

Like the vents start blowing hot air or the ac shuts off temporarily? If the former, then your ac probably just can’t keep up with the extra heat in the engine

Yeah this was a big change for my parents who always complained about slow wifi speeds. I spent a summer wiring the walls with cat6 and plugged everything I could directly into a big switch I got for them. Printers, desktops, start tvs, the lot. Then I set them up with multiple access points and voilà, the wifi is suddenly fast again without upgrading their plan

That’s not what modems or routers do. Your ISP sets your speed somewhere else, not at the modem/router level.

Booo. Orson Scott Card took that term from Ursula K. Le Guin.

One random thing that really annoys me is that the site http://shakespeare.mit.edu does not properly forward http requests to https although they have an https version of the site.

sudo apt install firefox is all I need to say to justify why I’ll never touch Ubuntu again.

Personally I’m not opposed to standardization, but having alternatives would be nice in case something ever happened to the standard

In my experience there are some landlords who have people’s best interests at heart. I do believe landlords are parasitic, but not everyone does, and out of those people there are some who become landlords because they think it will actually help people. And to be fair, when I was in undergrad, I rented a house with some guys and our landlord charged us $290/month/person and paid for all the utilities. I couldn’t have saved any money from my part time job in any other situation. The house was nice, we each had our own room, and we shared 3 bathrooms. He was quick about repairs too. No lease agreement either, and when anybody moved out he didn’t raise the rent. I stayed there for 3 years, others for longer.

He’d better watch out or that blood and tears bag will get significantly bigger.

Most likely with the language the monkey’s paw would be that you can’t speak any other language. I imagine you’d also be unable to learn any other language again. At any rate, linguists would still celebrate and you’d just have to make friends with people who want to learn that language for some professional, academic reason

This is why I like window transparency for certain apps. That way I can set the desktop background to something fairly neutral, then set window transparent and blur it so I can always sort of see what’s behind. Idk, it makes everything feel a bit lighter

Yes, though it doesn’t need to be transparent

Yup! The bar at the top is called waybar. With css you can make it look pretty much however you want. The kinds and number of modules is also dictated with another config file. There are tons of prebuilt configs out there, but making this one was quite fun

Also for proof I’m a psycho, look at the graphics card lmao

(I actually don’t know why this is so hyped up as being difficult to achieve)
