Yeah, if that process wouldn’t need developer mode (or stayed active after disabling it again) that wouldn’t be that bad (still annoying). But having to choose between the ability to install apps or use those apps that only work without developer mode certainly isn’t a win.

Whatever you use to login, password / pin / pattern / body part.

Not if it’s implemented in the Google Play Services, then every device will refuse to install unverified apps after the deadline, even if it’s not on the newest Android versions.

Implausible deniability.

Used to be that patents were bad for innovation, like loading screen mini games or the nemesis system from the Mordor games. These days patents tend to be crap where I’m happy it’s patented so others (hopefully) won’t do that shit.

By reducing a complex topic down to one score that has “features” as only one of many factors, so that “openness” and “safety” push it to the top.

I like the concept. I have a e-ink reader where I removed the hull because it’s annoying, but at some point I must have damaged the display a bit and now it has a little black spot. With this the added bulk also doubles the area available for text. Maybe not that useful for novels that you read through linearly, but for non-fiction it would be nice to see other chapters, glossaries, etc. on one display while keeping the other at the page you were reading. Mainly a problem of software and enough buttons to be able to comfortably use that.

Though the low-res displays of this prototype look atrocious to me (pixelation and uneven blackness), maybe a later version will improve on that.

The shittiest possible outcome is what the Trump admin is all about.

Guess Russia has the right climate for snowflakes lol.

Not as a noun, but it’s occasionally used as a verb in the sense of “crippled” or “restricted”.

and even though this has been done (Glimpse) nobody jumps ship to this new, more maturely named alternative that is exactly the same. They stay on GIMP

Well, the Glimpse project didn’t do the boring thing and just rebrand GIMP, they had more ideas and not enough people to work on them so they failed pretty quickly. If a simple rebrand would be used more than the original still remains to be proven, though it not existing might also be taken as indication that the demand for “GIMP with another name” isn’t there.

https://github.com/nullobsi/cantata is an active fork, used by the link above.

music player demon runs in the background and plays music (always remembers its position, and if you reboot while playing music it’ll continue playing automatically when the system is up again), and can be controlled by various clients like Cantata, Euphonica or Plattenalbum (they should all do 2.) and many others. It can output network streams, clients can connect over the network (control the music on your PC from your phone), utility demons to feed your play queue with similar or random songs…

Very versatile, though setup is a bit more complicated than with one simple program.

Some text adventure probably. Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was 1984, and it probably wasn’t the first funny one.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/redirect-bypasser-webextension/ in desktop Firefox seems to work for your link. For mobile there might be apps that you share the link to and they dissect it, but a very quick search didn’t turn up anything.

Something like https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.jeromerobert.pdfarranger to crop pages might work, or https://flathub.org/apps/net.sourceforge.Pdfedit (old and possibly insecure) for more options.

GNU parallel, to run commands on all cores, and for its filename pattern substitution.

For example: ls *.flac | parallel ffmpeg -i {} {.}.mp3 encodes a directory of FLAC files to MP3. parallel -a <(ls *.flac) -a <(ls *.mp3) --xapply copytags {1} {2} then copies each FLAC file’s metadata to the corresponding MP3 file (which ffmpeg already does, just to illustrate the --xapply option).

edit: copytags is https://github.com/DarwinAwardWinner/copytags if that’s useful for anyone.

i was for the most part only heating a single room

Have you made sure that your other rooms are not getting moldy? Cold air can’t carry as much moisture so your walls, furniture, etc. might be getting damper than they should be.

He meant “free speech abolitionist”, easy typo to make.

They should have focused on the name change, to prove that there is a demand for “GIMP but with another name”. Everything else can be done in the main project or any fork, and that those don’t exist show that the manpower needed for that isn’t really available.
