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.

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.

Stop eating gamers

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

You can just choose a day and go with it. As long as both of you agree, and it’s approximate it’s fine. We just count earth going around the sun, it’s divided arbitrarily, and Earth’s never going to be in exact place anyway.

The android auto equivalent for cars would be something I’d be interested in, that’s the only reason I had to reenable google on my phone. I don’t see any open source software that do it.

It’s not boring though. You just have to find things. I see so many interesting projects, and so many interesting ideas that I want to implement but run into time/skill issues. Summer is when I can just forget about other things and develop what I want, but I think after university I won’t have much time at all.

I don’t do actual video game with steam or ps5 and such, so I don’t know if you’re into it.

Me and my wife play this game called bomb squad, it’s one of a very few games that run natively on linux (without steam and such), is free to install/play and works with game controllers.

For me it’s making something. Mostly coding a new feature on my personal project. Making a new map/plot.

Sometimes just winning a videogame match, or getting that in game achievement.

Motorcycle might be hard, through they might contribute.

Exactly, how do you even fight with the OS except just making it bit hard for them lol. You have to tell the OS what pixels to put in the screen, there’s literally no way you can hide things from the OS if they want to know.

That’s what Xmas is for. Being asked what I want by family is frustrating because I don’t really want things, and few things I do, I just buy.

So anything I might like but can’t justify buying goes into the Xmas list for other’s to buy.

I do have a career, I am a specialist of (kinda) GIS and data analysis related to hydrology. I’m currently on the path to complete my PhD within the next year. I have been really successful at pitching my programming ideas on non-programming domain. Solve problems for clients, make applications/algorithms that can outperform what they had before. It does sometimes make me feel like I’m a bit too wide on my skillsets related to others in my field, but at least in my immediate circles, I am still as good in the core aspects of my field. But there are so many people that are better specialist than me if I search around.

But now, due to the current climate, and situation in the USA, I have been thinking I might have to move to another country before I finish PhD, and I might not be able to find a job in another country immediately, so I’m thinking of finding some small gigs I could do for some side income.

Thank you, something like this would work well, if they are small tasks that help the main contributor because they don’t have the time. I do have experience working on those for free :D

I don’t know about the big examples like the one in wiki though

I had upwork account since a long time, last time I tried (was a few years back), it just said “we have a lot of people with your skill, so no” lol

Thank you. I looked into it. I did make a profile, let’s see how it goes.

I feel like there should be something like that for sure. But I don’t really know how to find it or convince people to hire me for a problem they don’t know they have. It’s be great if I knew owners personally, but I’m not really outgoing type (who reason I got good with programming lol)

Sure but it’s lonely at the top. If you rise to the top by backstabbing people, you’ll end up exactly how some people right now are, and you keep trying to accumulate more and be great or whatever messing up everything else and being hated.

While a simple life with your loved ones will give you satisfaction. And satisfaction is the key to happiness. Rather satisfaction is the ultimate happiness.

Icy water yes. But cold water was available, the whole reason people find cold water refreshing is because running water/spring water etc are cold and more likely to be safe to drink. While stagnant water were more likely to be warm and have more bacteria, making it lot less safe.
