Xournal lets you paint on a document, which I guess isn’t what they need when they talk about legal stuff. Digitally signing a document is still one of the rare cases where I boot up my windows vm. It’s so annoying that there’s practically no way to do that in Linux as my company’s processes rely on it.

I want to get off Mr. Bones’ Wild Ride

It’s not trained, it just rejects certain keywords. Which is easy to bypass: https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.11753

It surely is going to help “marketing” with “numbers”.

Liked your comment so much I just did it there.

Yeah, same. And man, I loved homeworld. Even spent too much money on that remastered collection with the mothership model when I was in college and shouldn’t have done it. But nah, not gonna buy an unfinished game.

But you can’t do everything in js? Ever tried writing an operating system in an interpreted language?

You could call them “commies”.

Oh we have a dedicated Linux service contract with a dedicated Linux support company that has technicians just to deal with Linux issues and provide the Linux setup. We’ve had time to adapt. I guess some bloke still decided that there just had to be a malware scanner and now we all have to eat shit. This is much less a lesson for it departments and much more a lesson that the people who manage stuff just have other goals than the people working with the tools that are managed, so you end up with somebody who wants to cover their ass in case something goes wrong in the future and makes it a terrible experience for everybody in the process but can sell it as a necessity to the people below and as action to the people above.

Same. The Linux setup there is a fucking mess though… AD authentication freezes login for a minute or so if you switch networks at the wrong moment, puppet keeps messing with the system and recently they installed clamav as a live malware scanner on all machines, making them eat batteries for breakfast and slowing down even menial tasks. If you have admin rights, they refuse to add your user to sudoers but instead create a new admin user (another indicator that they’re just really coming from windows) which everybody just uses to add their original user to sudoers, which was a nice workaround but which they now noticed and want to prohibit via puppet or user rights or something. It’s just such a mess. I mean, still leagues ahead of using windows, but a corporate environment really is a machine that transforms time and money into a terrible experience for everybody.

What about weekends? Do I have to do it on weekends?

I’m not sure if I’m convinced. Could you post a screenshot of a solved captcha to prove it?

Nice. So, I have an encfs folder on a cloud storage. Any way to use vaults to access it? Haven’t even found a way to load existing folders that were set up with vaults, let alone using something else…

What shielded bases were there in the books?

I mean, there was the “shield wall”, but that was just mountains that protected Arrakeen from the desert.

Also, you’re calling a joke low-brow while also admitting you didn’t understand it.

The part that’s hard to understand is the convoluted setup with the q-tip. That comic is like that meme with the guy doing a kick flip on a rake… Two panels that have a weird setup with a statement that actually runs contrary to what doctors currently recommend, just to end up with “lol, I pulled out da penis in public and put it in bread! Funny!”. It suggests more depth than it delivers so it leaves readers wondering what the hell they missed… Just to then ask people and realise: nothing.

It’s not just “lol dicks.”

proceeds to explain the dick joke

Additionally, you don’t need the first two panels. Like, not at all. It’s a dick joke with a long setup that seems to give it more depth when it doesn’t.

Didn’t get it as well. A hot dog bun looks nothing like an ear. Where would he have put the q-tip? Came looking for an explanation in the comments.

It’s really just a dick joke? What does a dick have to do with q-tips? Or ears? Like, that’s a really weird setup. If you’re going for humour-for-6-year-olds, why bother with all that prologue stuff that isn’t really connected to the joke anyway?

The touch pads are the killer feature, imho. They are the key to making mouse centric games playable. I wouldn’t want to touch eg stellaris with an 11 feet pole with joysticks or touch screen but sank so much time into the game on the deck.

I mean, there’s also so much other stuff… The device running on Linux and giving unrestricted access to the desktop. The software being great. The case being screwed, not glued. Valves super relaxed stance on people modifying the hardware. It all adds up. But from a purely user centric pov, I wouldn’t buy a PC based handheld without the pads after I saw how well they work.

Always ass been.
