On my system, I can use the compose key to type a bunch of unicode chars, such as —, …, ≠, → and so on. Sadly, the pervasive use of em-dashes by LLMs ruined my use of them... It's a pity, because I quite like them stylistically.
The recent evolution is great and I've been a happy KDE user for many years, but my oh my is NetworkManager bad. It's not good on all systems that use it under the hood, but I find it especially unintuitive and so outdated. The applet thing is fine (still suffers from weird behaviour from NM's core), but actual settings screen drives me crazy... The Bluetooth one should also receive some love, but it's decent. NM needs serious revision.
The map is wildly simplistic, as usual for these Internet takes lol.
In Portugal, for example (where I come from), I don't know anyone that keeps their shoes in-doors 95% the time. If you're doing some quick work or holding an event, people might be a bit more lack about taking off your shoes, but I (and many my friends) always make an effort to take some kind of home footware when visiting other people's homes. As a general rule? Everyone puts some socks/sleepers/flipflops on.
I agree it's a nice way to try it out, though it has some limitations. Also, my experience with encryption at rest has been a mixed bag, though I think that's just because Nextcloud's implementation isn't quite mature enough.
(happy cakeday!)
Yes! Oh my, I'm silly; that was precisely my point and I managed to mess it up 🙃
Thank you for the correction!
As others have also mentioned, Minoxidil can be effective at slowing or stopping balding, with daily application, though it isn't immediate (may take a couple of weeks to start showing results). It can vary a lot from person to person, so give it a shot for a couple of months before deciding whether to commit or not.
While the issue of the inter-server protocol being overly chatty is very much real, putting the burden on the users isn't a good solution.
The focus should instead be on improving the protocol itself and its implementation with better algorithms, batching, etc. I'm not super knowledgeable about the inner workings, but I feel like there's still some relatively "low hanging fruits" in the protocol design (are activities properly batched? are they sent as linear broadcasts to all federated instances? could we use some alternative broadcast distribution, like binomial? etc) and implementation (is the data model leading to some expensive operations? are the SQL queries well written? could we speed them up some other way?).
I say this as someone who's been running an instance for many years now, and can tell you for sure it has been a rather bumpy ride, as a small server. Running a good and fast server with lots connections is not cheap; not as much as it should, at least imo.
Ah, that's a nice one!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key
It's a key that makes the next 2 or more keystrokes be dead key inserts that combineinto some character otherwise impossible to type.
In my case, my keyboard had a ≣ Menu key which I never used, so I remapped it to Compose.
You're correct, but that's like saying along the lines of manufacturing a car is just bolting and soldering a bunch of stuff. It's technically true to some degree, but it's very disingenuous to make such a statement without being ironic. If you're making these claims, you're either incompetent or acting in bad faith.
I think there is a lot wrong with LLMs and how the public at large uses them, and even more so with how companies are developing and promoting them. But to spread misinformation and polute an already overcrowded space with junk is irresponsible at best.
I've been getting into the habit of also using em/en dashes on the computer through the Compose key. Very convenient for typing arrows, inequality and other math signs, etc. I don't use it for ellipsis because they're not visually clearer nor shorter to type.
Migadu doesn't provide sources for their deployment, as far as I know, but most of the components they use are open and available on the usual places: https://github.com/migadu
