it’s used to verify that OpenGL ES2 works on your system. It’s the variant of 3D graphics drivers that is used on smartphones. Many apps nowadays write their GFX frontend with GLES2 so it uses the same code on phones and PCs, and if they compile the app to run in the web browser, WebGL is also based on GLES2.

Nah, it will end up simply as “John” in the database. You need “John%sDoe” to crash C software with unsafe printf() calls, and even then it’s better to use several “%s”

Because OpenVPN lacks the most important feature of them all - it will not remind you to top up your account balance.

I went with OpenVPN because it’s installed on Ubuntu by default. Wireguard needs one extra apt-get command.

I don’t think that Wireguard is more secure, its’s simpler and thus easier to audit, but OpenVPN was audited to the gills already.

Because installing some random app is worse than simply using pre-installed system service.

Both are security audited, but I’d still rather trust OpenVPN.

That’s not how you do it.

Click ‘Downloads’ on the Mullvad website.

Scroll to the bottom section ‘Unable to use the app’

Click ‘OpenVPN’.

Download OpenVPN config.

You already have OpenVPN installed, skip all fancy installation steps.

Click network settings in the taskbar, ‘New connection’, ‘OpenVPN’, ‘Import configuration’.

Turn on your new VPN connection. Done.

No, and I don’t think I will learn another tool for something that I can already do using grep/sed/find commands, which I know by heart.

Grep is fiiiiine.

sed is okay but a little nasty, when your sed script is longer that one search-replace command you gotta ask yourself what you’re doing really (yes, sed is a full-featured Turing-complete programming language, if you go far enough into the man page).

When I see awk in any stackoverflow recipe, I just say ‘fuck it’ and rewrite the whole thing in Python. Python is included into the minimal system image in Debian, the same as awk, but is way less esoteric, and you can do python -e 'import os, sys; commands;' for a one-liner console script.

And if you want to talk about portability, try writing scripts for Android 4.4 ash shell. There’s no [ ] command. You do switch/case to compare strings.

Don’t you enjoy photos of blurry gray splots with AI oversharpened edges who are supposed to be birds or squirrels?

Despite all the marketing fluff, phone cameras make small but steady advances. I bet you’d make a somewhat acceptable photo at this 200x zoom level, if you shine a pair of 500 watt floodlights at your scene, and put your phone on a tripod.

It’s emacspiracy to subtly teach unsuspecting Ubuntu users the despicable ways of Emacs Lisp.

It all starts with learning 100 common terminal keybindings. And un-learning Ctrl-C.

I’m sorry, I’m too old to learn emacs over my perfect knowledge of Midnight Commander.

The point of this topic was to tell why we are using terminal, and emacs is kind of terminal on steroids, there are like 1000 key bindings and the mouse is totally optional, you are proving the point even further.

To get shit done in general.

If I need to rename a file, yeah, I can do that by right-clicking it in the file explorer, and selecting ‘rename’ from the menu. Two files? Painful but doable. Three files? Oh hell no, I’m switching to my always-open-in-background terminal window, and write a quick c=1; for f in *.jpeg; do mv "$f" $c.jpeg; c=`expr $c \+ 1` ; done and it takes twice less time than clicking things through with mouse.

And yes, I wrote that shell command off the top of my head on the first try and without edits.

You have to print a separate label for each bottle size then. Much easier to print something like ‘10% strength’ and slap the same label on all of your barrels and bottles regardless of their volume.

You can always run few extra experiments to make your hydrogen bombs smaller or more reliable.

Thanks.

Still no Play Store links in sight.

I’m not sure who exactly maintains f-droid builds.

Gimme new Play Store links kthxbye.

Is there a remindme bot on Lemmy?

!remindme: 2 days.

It wasn’t a rebuttal, I’m being pedantic about a technical term.

The joke about Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism is funny to English-speaking audience. People who actually experienced communism know there’s nothing fully automated, luxury, or gay about it. There was some Space, but it was done more to show’em dirty capitalists than to perform big scientific discoveries, and capitalists didn’t care all that much about communists’ posturing, it was more about science.

Please stop using term ‘communist’ in context of progressive far-left socialism.

Communism is totalitarian oppression. Every time you mention communism, you mention Stalin, you cannot separate communism and gulags.

The communism as envisioned by Karl Marx never existed. The closest thing to Marx communism right now is Sweden, Denmark, and Finland, with their over-50% tax rates and hyper-socialist policies, and they sure as hell do not call themselves communist.

Those abilities from the article are useless for a soldier.

You don’t feel much stress shooting the enemy. You feel a lot of stress when the enemy shoots back, especially the artillery. So you get less stress when your artillery has more range, because you don’t get shot at.

Using painkillers is just ignoring the problems with your health. If you want to stay in the army for more than a year, go to the doctor and get a proper treatment.

The food is not a problem, we got ten thousand variations of canned meat.

The most pressing problem for soldiers in the field is the lack of hygiene. If you can shower once per month without getting sick, you’ll make a better soldier.

It’d also help if you’re short and can carry heavy stuff.

So, I imagine actual super-soldiers to be muscly gypsy dwarves who eat a lot and complain when they get health issues.

When you are losing the war you started.

Blame gays.

When your policies fail.

Blame gays.

When your government is less popular than cancer.

Blame gays.

When you are getting mass protests.

Blame Jews. But Jews have nukes, oops. Then blame gays!
