Okay, so you can have intuitive and easy to use mouse gestures to speed up your browsing experience… But why wouldn’t you use Vimium and use your keyboard with 32697 unintuitive keybindings instead?

Technically, yeah. However, Pop isn’t their product, their hardware is.

They do their absolute best to create great software like coreboot and Pop and keep it all truly open source. They also innovate the space with things like COSMIC DE (which imo is phenomenal already, even in its early alpha state).

They only offer software support and help for customers of their hardware but that seems reasonable to me. The community is big and helpful so it makes sense for S76 to refer non-customers there.

I’ve been using Pop as a daily driver for more than 3 years now and a few months ago, I started to think about switching. Until recently, it was stuck on 22.04 with no clear indicator as to when 24.04 would be released. I decide that I was gonna wait for October and if i still felt that way, I was gonna switch. As of today, I haven’t switched and since the first alpha release of COSMIC and the recent alpha release of Pop 24.04, I’ve never even thought about it.

24.04 is fast, stable and works incredibly well with COSMIC. COSMIC is insane for productivity and has fixed almost all UX gripes I’ve ever had with GNOME and KDE. It’s truly amazing and a must-try imo.

On average? So you just take all bombs dropped by the USA and divide it by the number of days the US has been a thing? Then you compare that to the amount of days China hasn’t dropped a bomb?

This makes no sense…

There’s “today I learned”/“TIL” but that’s usually factoids, I think

rm is like “delete permanently”, trash-cli is like regular delete - it moves to the trash bin. Many people like making an alias so rm runs trash-cli to prevent accidentally permanently deleting data

Infinite energy… right…

Ivan Pavlov was a Russian physiologist. During his studies, he observed that dogs would begin to salivate whenever an assistant entered the room, even if no food was present. Pavlov realized that the dogs had learned to associate the presence of the assistant with the arrival of food. He then conducted experiments where he would ring a bell or sound a metronome immediately before presenting the dogs with food. Over time, the dogs learned to associate the sound with the food, and would begin to salivate in response to the sound alone, even without the presence of food. This research on dogs became an iconic example of classical conditioning and the comic references this.

Since the light actually passes through the glasses and just gets refracted, there’s no screen in front of your eyes. It’s like looking through water, a window or anything else translucent/transparent.

Tungsten. It’s just so cool that it’s so dense and has such a high melting point. It’s also really hard and tough.

Edit: also dragonflies are pretty badass

I love how quickly I can get things done using keybindings (I use Vim in Obsidian) and how I can link everything together to really form a second brain with lots and lots of stuff all linked together nicely. I also love Obsidian Sync, I think it’s worth it.

I hate the unreasonably long startup time. It’s even worse on mobile as every time you open the app, it fully restarts, taking 10+ seconds. I’ve been trying to leave it open in the background but it’s muscle memory to close all apps immediately.

I also don’t like the lack of a good CAS plugin. I currently use mathpad which gets the job done but I often find myself tinkering with my input because mathpad sometimes just refuses to work properly. Maybe it approximates too much or sth but often times it just doesn’t calculate accurately, doesn’t solve equations properly, etc.

Both. When I need to annotate PDFs, I usually just throw it into Excalidraw to draw and write in it. (Haven’t found a good dedicated plugin yet)

Canvas I use to visualize ideas and get a kind of flowchart thing going for porgramming-related thoughts and sometimes presentations.

No shit

I switch between New, Hot and Top 6hrs/Day

You could make a religion out of this

I would say: “Don’t switch to Linux. Just start with Linux and never use Windows or Mac in the first place”

Don’t have to get used to something if you’ve never used something else.

It means that 91.9% are smarter than him and he is smarter than 8.1%. So the vast majority of people have a higher IQ than he does.

Pine64 makes a security camera for use with a (included?) Raspberry Pi, iirc

When they have some of the same interests as you, but for different reasons. It provides for excellent conversation when you can talk about something you’re both passionate about, but because you’re passionate for different reasons, you have different perspectives, and it keeps a topic you’re very familiar with very interesting.
