Give me cash. If you wanna give me money don’t give me money with limitations (sometimes money that expires).

Gift cards are free profit to corporations, a significant fraction never gets used, it’s pure profit for them.

Sorry I forgot to respond.

The thing that triggered it was when I shared an xkcd link. I have seen it a lot here but I guess it’s niche. And knowing about tardigrades, and many weird biology knowledge about bugs, bacteria, and such. We’re both super nerdy about science, but at the same time we hadn’t met anyone else be this nerdy about science in real life.

That’s basically same person, no secrets are secrets from spouses.

But you need tdf installed on the server for that right?

I realize I rarely have to do it so I tend to just download and open the pdf, or use X forwarding. Or while using emacs I just open the remote file (which basically downloads and opens I guess).

I don’t know what you mean by supports tray but have you tried KDE connect? It has a lot more features than just sending files but I use it for a few things.

And if you don’t care about having GUI, I love miniserve for sharing files. It’ll open a web server and you can connect to it to download/upload files.

I can understand people wanting markers. But maybe we have like 10-20 markers and someone having 5-6 from the other side is not weird. Like if someone is presenting as a girl completely and is not, they could just reply with “oh, I’m a guy, I just dressed as a girl today” and people would be like “that’s fun” instead of being weirded out.

Like long hair/short hair for example. Or how girls wearing pants is normal now.

In my case, my culture does have people cross dressing during certain events so it’s not as ostracized. But that could also be because people didn’t actually think about wanting to be the other gender but just dressing up for one occasion.

Few fun things:

• My parents wanted a daughter but had me,
• my nickname at home was a girl’s name version of my name,
• only children close to my age and vicinity growing up were girls so I grew up playing “girl” games,
• my mom didn’t stop me from painting my nails, or putting makeup or anything as a child. (I still paint my nails black sometimes),
• In highschool I was the only guy among the group of students with nails too long on a biology lab,
• a guy friend once told me I walk gay (I didn’t even know that was a thing?)
• I don’t watch sports, so I don’t have many common things to talk to guys as much,
• Good friends I had (guys) were based on either common interests (programming, philosophy, etc) or other nerds. And when I don’t have those and only friends are based on proximity then I don’t have as many things in common.

All those considered I’m still a guy, I just don’t care about being “manly”, and just do things that interests me. Plus lots of the things people do to be manly seems to just make them spend even more time with other guys lol. And although I don’t want to do a lot of things that are for each genders, I just wish everyone was chill about doing whatever someone likes. Or for someone to just try it out to see if they like it not, instead of thinking “that’s what X do, I won’t do it”.

I second this. This is how I got my wife to like me.

Be careful not to go overboard though, my wife, during the first few weeks, thought I might be hacking into her phone because I was tech savvy and we had too many weird things in common.

Good read, thanks

But I believe in generics, just write your functions so that it can work with all the types ;)

translation: Just get rid of what is a boy or a girl thing. Just let people do what they like.

I’m a rust developer, do I need to transition?

If you have freedom OS, definitely

I was thinking I’d appreciate a website/community where people talk about potential new open source software ideas and interested people can collaborate. Could be small things. And able to filter by category, language, etc.

But I don’t know how the logistics would work. But at least minor things that could be fun. But it could be abused. It’s just my thoughts when I’m like “I wanna make something this week”. Or when I start something and I don’t have the skills for all components.

Tiff is for science. Like for actual values that need more than 0-255 level of precision.

For example we use Tiff (or GeoTiff because it has coordinates) for storing elevation, temperature, slope, etc variables of an area for processing. It can also have a lot of bands not just RGB.

For example, satellites record RGB, infrared 1, infrared 2, and many other bands and even if we can’t see them it’s useful to get that information for processing. That helps for example to recognize river from forest even if both look green to our eyes.

Repeat after me:

JPEG is for photos, PNG is for graphics.

Arch also kinda allows that if you write custom PKGBUILD file. It’s easy to write for simple stuffs that are based on make/cargo etc.

It’s time consuming if some program gives you 100s of lines of code in bash script to install their program though.

Edit:

Another disadvantage of building from source is dependency management. You might accidentally uninstall some dependencies, the standard library versions might change and break your packages, etc.

Using package manager mitigates that.

Extensions are just suggestions to your OS on how to open the files.

I use it to know the filetype for binary files, or what is the purpose/format of the text inside is for text files. But you can just save anything as anything. You can open PDF in text editor and edit things inside too if you know what you’re doing.

I learned English reading so many books that I just pronounced how it’s spelled in my head. Combine that with general non-social tendencies I didn’t really heard or had to say a lot of those words.

I had to spell out words to people because of that. Then I came to US, and now I can’t even spell the words because the alphabets are pronounced differently lol.

Can’t you just keybind the switch to that key? I use arch and I have keyboard layout switch between three languages (one is Japanese which might have similar tech/typing style), and the program I use (ibus anthy) allows me to define my keybind.

That’s the obvious one. But you can also add data to images by adding tiny values to the pixels, it’ll still look the same to us (same as printer tiny dots).

I don’t know if phones actually do this. Just saying it’s possible.

But many uploading sites optimize the images, so it’ll be gone on reshare, but they could get it on first upload.

Wait, are there repo that just has dating info? You just make PR for your profile. Honestly with GitHub free pages we could definitely do that lol

Then you’re just running bash scripts with bash. You’re not running bash scripts with fish.
