In my wiki roundup post I complained about DokuWiki’s reliance on plugins, but after scouring the landscape of FOSS wiki offerings nothing else offers exactly what I need.

This is generally how new open source projects are born. Someone can’t find what they’re looking for among the current offerings so they make their own, fulfilling what they perceive to be a niche use case. Once they release it, it takes on a life of its own because it turns out it wasn’t a niche use case after all. Much to the horror of the dev, who now finds themselves the leader of an open source project.

Its a story as old as time.

Somewhere in the middle. I generally avoid using plugins of any sort if I can avoid it, and prefer sane defaults over customization, but I also avoid software that comes bloated with features I’ll never use.

Respectfully, yes.

If it’s that local of an issue, why not just go around with a clipboard and piece of paper and talk to your neighbours about it? Modern technology isn’t always the solution, sometimes the tried and true methods are still valid for a reason.

Your friend has fallen down a far-right conspiracy theory rabbit hole. Sorry for your loss.

This has to be one of the worst designed data visualizations I’ve seen in a long time. God knows social media isn’t wanting for shitty dataviz, but this one is particularly awful. It’s an assault on my senses trying to read it.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised from a company called “visual capitalist”.

I don’t have a recommendation other than don’t recommend something to your friend for which you’re not willing to provide tech support.

Fact. I game on Debian (mostly through Steam flatpak) and it works great. I tried the so-called “gaming” distros and eeked out 0-5% fps gains while also experiencing paper cuts or bugs in other areas of my daily driving that weren’t present on Debian. I’m not into e-sports so so long as I’m not hitting a 30 fps floor I’m fine. The time I save not having to navigate paper cuts I get to put toward fun things, like actually playing games.

Reject Convenience did a pretty good breakdown of DeleteMe, Incogni and the data broker industry on their YouTube channel a while back. It’s a good overview but, fair warning, it might send you down a bit of a rabbit hole after watching.

Nice try, Officer, but I’m not falling for it.

Yeah, feed the AI slop to AI as a prompt and watch it slowly eat itself. Like the late Ray Liotta being fed his own brain in Hannibal.

This except I convinced my parents they didn’t actually need a computer in their lives anymore. It is win-win.

too ludacris a proposal

I see what you did there. 😁

My government seems to think otherwise.

Yes

Pebble: 30 days of battery life

Also Pebble: 30 days manufacturer warranty

So the warranty expires when the battery does. Lol.

Edit: still loving my Time Round even though it hasn’t been updated in nearly a decade.

Oh, I got the joke. I just think my joke was as funny. Nice to see it went over your head as much as you think yours did with me.

Pretty sure atheists are smart enough to realize video games are a work of fiction, just like gods.
