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

The origin of the hobby 3D printer is the RepRap project, a community open hardware project. Josef Prusa was actively involved. The first printer the company actively sold - the Prusa i3 - is still on the RepRap website.

They got a bit more restrictive with their licencing terms in the recent past which is both understandable and a bit of a slap in the face to where they came from, but they’re still the most open 3D printer manufacturer.

(Not the most open 3d printer though, that award has to go to DIY only models like the Voron)

Any idea if this is true outside the US?

I suspect he’s propped up against that tree for a good photo

It could be argued that they are a willing variant of Reverse Centaur

Start with what a reverse centaur is. In automation theory, a “centaur” is a person who is assisted by a machine. You’re a human head being carried around on a tireless robot body. Driving a car makes you a centaur, and so does using autocomplete.

And obviously, a reverse centaur is a machine head on a human body, a person who is serving as a squishy meat appendage for an uncaring machine.

That’s not a slur though, it’s generally sympathetic.

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

Currently “older cards” is GTX 10xx series and earlier

This is a deliberate choice made by Nvidia with respect to their proprietary drivers, and has nothing to do with the operating system.

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

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.

Tag yourself. I’m “large, rolling rock”

I can hear this picture

At the risk of being trite:

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
