You would have to make the glass, transport it and make it into window pane, so not much different.

Wood is compostable. But I wonder if making it transparent makes it something you wouldn't want to grow food with.

Edit: they plan to add epoxy resin which would make the wood something you definitely don't want to compost and would probably also leach EAs.

It might be a better insulator? Tipple pane glass is fine until the seal breaks and gas leaks out.

I kinda love it in theory.

Will be trying this out.

I do find it funny however that awk is lumped together with these small use case tools like sed, grep, tr, cut, and rev, since awk can be used to replace all of these tools and is it's own language.

I don't think the emphasis should be on simplicity, but rather on understandability (which long awk commands are not either).

If you give someone a bash script, they should be able to know exactly what the code will do when they read the script without having to run it or cat out the source it might need to parse. Using ubiquitous tools that many people understand is a good step.

Sadly awk is installed by default in most distros and tools like jq and jc would require installation.

If you like xfce, I think that kde is more similar to it than gnome. So I would recommend giving kde a try too.

An easy way to test out both is to just use a live image booted from a USB. You could always install them to your everyday PC but then you have a lot more packages installed and I personally would rather keep my installed packages to a minimum. If you can't do a live cd because your os doesn't provide one then I would try a vm or a different drive that you can boot into.

On my phone, I've been using newpipe for a few years with little complaints. I can import my Google account subscriptions to it but I can't comment or rate.

On my home theater PC I have been watching YouTube via Kodi with a Google API for over 6 years. It works excellent and there is no ads. Although Google may at any time revoke access to the API or charge me a fee to use it. It is kinda technical to set up and requires Kodi which is a rather large package with a lot of python dependencies. So if you only want to watch YouTube and don't want to set up a Google API or read a doc then it might not be for you.

Others comments here mentioned freetube which looks really promising and I might try it on my laptop.

I guess the trakt API could be used for this...but their database won't have YouTube videos in it.

If someone has physical access to your device, they also have the ability to access your files without your password. Unless you are using sophisticated full disk encryption, but that makes it more time consuming to gain access.

It will depend on the update.

Either way, If I want to have a windows install, it's either

  • in a vm
  • on a different physical disk that is kept physically unplugged from the motherboard until it is needed and then I'll plug it in while unseating the Linux drives and any other drives windows does not need access to
  • a different computer

Dual booting is fine if you are using 2 Linux OSes.

If one partition has windows installed an update can hijack the Linux partition or remove the grub.

No thanks, I used to use boost for reddit and I loved it.

But now on lemmy, there are FOSS apps that are just as good I'd rather donate to.

Because they can say they will, possibly sell slightly more than they predicted. And then in 2 years say that they cannot support it anymore anyway.
