That’s disappointing to hear. Which core did you get?

It’s smaller than you’re looking for but I’d be remiss not to bring up the MNT Pocket Reform

• 7" mini laptop

• Open hardware
• Mechanical keyboard
• Trackball!
• Modular and hackable

XMPP is the standard messaging protocol. I recommend Conversations for android, but of course any worthwhile protocol has multiple independent frontends.

VLC can play anything because of its reliance on the amazing ffmpeg. MPV also uses ffmpeg, as does any video tool worth it’s salt.

The video looks so much like their promoted articles that I thought for a good few moments that the article just ended after the first paragraph

It’s fine for input, but Logseq “.md” files are only suitable for import back into Logseq (at least if they have any links)

Super is for my window manager.

Which I guess is kind of where copy paste live so I’m on board, barring semantic nitpicks

How close do you want it to be?

I’m a big fan of the OpenBook

Because anti-trust has not been enforced this century, with the exception of Lina Khan’s work as the FCC director.

Companies have been pushing the boundaries further and further for decades, with almost no push back.

For me streaks are a double edged sword; if I break a streak then the stat becomes a disincentive

This predates the ai bubble. There used to be a really common “plagiarism detector” (something like CheckMeIn?] that would generate a “similarity score” with a database of literature. Institutions were welcome to set their own thresholds of what they considered too similar. I hit the threshold multiple times in completely original works by using language that was simply too literary or formal in nature.

Mind I had been accused of plagiarism by teachers prior to those tools for much the same reason based only on vibes, so maybe that was a step up, since students could use it ahead of time.

There was a news story around that time of somebody getting taken through disciplinary action due to getting close to 100% similarity on the tool - eventually to discover that their own essays had Venn included in the database.

PCjs uses JavaScript to emulate a small collection of hardware and software that I grew up with in the 1970s and 1980s, allowing you to experience their slow CPUs, low-resolution displays, and primitive sound effects, all in the comfort and safety of your desktop or mobile web browser.

Over time, PCjs emulations have expanded to include selected IBM PC Compatibles and more classic machines, such as Minicomputers, Programmable Calculators, Terminals, and Arcade Games. To learn more or contribute to these very modest preservation efforts, visit the PCjs open-source project on GitHub.

If you consider your left half to be a Scylla and your right half to be a Charybdis then you get a narrow, dangerous straight to sail between your keyboard halves.

Vim hasn’t been able to copy to the clipboard since I switched to Wayland. Now it can and hopefully will do so in general as I have unnamedplus enabled, making the system clipboard the default one.

full Wayland support (including clipboard support)

Woohoo! This limitation has significantly reduced the utility of vim for me in recent times, so it’s great to see

I can hear this picture

What’s the second crank for?

The machine, in its quest to sound authoritative, ended up sounding like a KCPE graduate who scored an ‘A’ in English Composition. It accidentally replicated the linguistic ghost of the British Empire.

Combined with how the academic community has been warning about encoding biases since way before the current hype cycle, this sentence is mildly horrifying

Hilariously this is the easiest way to get HDMI-CEC support on a (Linux) PC

Also known as gesture typing or swype, typing by dragging your finger for each word rather than tapping each letter.
