It's because they're human cells, as opposed to being rat cells or something

Why don't you switch one of them to a pirated copy, if it's your personal computer?

They don't appear to even distribute isos, just a script to create them. Said script is less than 500 lines long, so it's not bad to audit it

Robotic 'Third Thumb' Makes Tasks Possible With One Hand; Can Be A Game Changer For The Disabled (www.ibtimes.co.uk)

This controllable prosthetic, the Third Thumb, attaches to the right hand, granting wearers the ability to perform a slew of one-handed tasks such as grasping objects, opening bottles, sorting cards, and even peeling a banana.

I don't mean to argue with most of your points, but regarding opposability: They have a video where they show it being used, and the idea is that you use it to hold something against your wrist area, so that you can manipulate the top part with your hand. They don't use it alongside the other fingers, it's just a complicated way to hold things still

Not comparable. There are finite gay people but infinite real numbers

You use cat. It literally just appends the bytes of the two files to each other. It just so happens that the tar format can work with that

Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads (www.techradar.com)

Netflix has managed to annoy a good number of its users with an announcement about an upcoming update to its Windows 11 (and Windows 10) app: support for adverts and live events will be added, but the ability to download content is being taken away....

They're talking about the fact that Netflix isn't removing the feature from their Android/iOS apps

It doesn't really matter if you make piracy more difficult if you don't make it impossible. Only one person has to figure out how to rip it, then everyone else can watch it

All you have to do is just... not draw the nipple. Form is easier without clothes sure, but skin details?

I believe instances generate the preview as soon as it's federated. The problem is that if you have many followers, each of their instances will try to generate a preview at the same time

In the case where you took everything out though, there's no bags for it to get stuck on. There's no need for it to slam itself

if you give elevated permission to movie.mp4.exe, that's natural selection

Windows just sucks at handling Bluetooth. It's ridiculous that you can't change audio codecs, or choose between handsfree and high quality audio. You have to let windows guess at both

You can change flatpak permissions with flatseal (you'll need to install it). A lot of them have absolutely braindead defaults
It's really not great to get in the habit of installing random debs from the Internet. Aside from being a massive security issue, you'll never get updates. If mint repos don't get updated though, I suppose that's the easiest workaround

ReveredOxygen ,
@ReveredOxygen@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah when you're downloading from sites like those, there's not a security risk anymore. The thing is that Linux software generally expects you to be using a package manager, so it doesn't update itself. When you download and install debs, you lose auto update functionality. But when you're on a distro like mint with old packages, that doesn't really matter since you're not getting up to date software through the repos anyway

Bezos distributes them to employees, but I'm not aware of him using them himself

Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time?

I'm sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I'm sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I'm sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it's been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one back?

I got it to type fuck just now when I started swiping from g instead of f, so it wouldn't put a d. if yours is typing guck though, that probably won't work

Do you have separate scaling factors on the two monitors? I need 100% scaling on one and 175% scaling on the other, which I've not been able to figure out under x11

ReveredOxygen ,
@ReveredOxygen@sh.itjust.works avatar

Ah, right. That's fine with integer scaling, but if you try to use fractional scaling with xrandr, it gets all blurry. I'll consider 2x scaling though

I'm here wishing I could tweak Windows to work like Gnome

Apparently the company is even based here in Cleveland

Correct, it only flies in California and Nevada, where the DMV approved it

It's a (better IMO) derivative of Ubuntu, but it uses the Mint desktop environment by default while Ubuntu uses Gnome. To a casual user, most distros are pretty similar other than their defaults. Those defaults aren't even particularly hard to change. For example, switching mint to Gnome is one command and a couple GUI clicks: https://itsfoss.com/install-gnome-linux-mint/

It's not as bad if it's only on sign up, because you're normally not autofilling there. But it's still bad for accessibility

What headphone jacks?

I know adapters exist, but they were talking about how no mid-high end phone has a headphone jack anymore

I also noticed after using them with my actual glasses, that it warns not to use them with other optical devices
