  • I know how MV3 works, thanks. The point remains that from the moment it was announced people have been claiming, usually with much hyperbole, that Chrome was trying to kill adblockers, and yet here we are with adblockers still blocking ads. In terms of software engineering, I actually find it interesting that they managed to achieve the stated goal of preventing a certain class of malware extensions while letting adblockers still work (though I know it’s not a widely shared sentiment).

    Mind you, I still preferred living in an MV2 world, and I still encourage people to switch to Firefox. It’s better for everyone if the ecosystem is more diverse.

    Hey, so who are you? What kind of person?

    Loyal to your people? Introverted but faithful in friendship? Curious and playful? Are you more dignified, or carefree? Given to hoarding, or full of wanderlust? Drawn to the forest, the sky, the sea, or your den? Single-minded or scatterbrained? A mix of all that? Something else entirely?

    Gee, that’s a lot of options. If only there was a way to put some kind of symbolic label on the many little traits that make up the identity of the person that is you… :)

    Also, it so turns out that if you come hang out with those who chose to self-label thus as wolf-like or fox-like or dragon-like or deer-like, you may find they’re chill and welcoming people, throw great parties, and don’t mind one bit if, ultimately, the you that makes sense to you is in the end human-like.



  • Everything, Everywhere, All At Once would definitely also be my recommendation. Because a kung fu comedy that’s also a sci fi thriller, a bilingual family drama that can switch languages multiple times per sentence, a Ratatouille parody, and a 10 minute silent shot of two rocks in a desert, that just SHOULD NOT WORK. The fact it does, and does brilliantly, with ten new directing ideas every minute and a climax that leaves me in tears every time, borders on genius.




  • Oh man, it sounds like I missed a whole thing. Do you perchance have a link?

    EDIT: Ok, found it. A bunch of flat-earther influencers apparently travelled to Antarctica to prove that there is no midnight sun there (since its existence would contradict their belief), found that there is in fact a midnight sun in Antarctica, were then accused by other flat-earthers of having fakes the whole thing. Brilliant.





  • Mint is just perfectly fine, don’t listen to the naysayers.

    As the old observation goes, novices use something like Mint because it’s there, and it works; intermediate users use something like Arch because they want the control to tweak things in the greatest depths; experts use something like Mint because it’s there, and it works.

    Nah, that’s valid. I loved it to bits, myself, but what made me love it was how adroitly I felt it curated feelings of dread and sincere awe as I explored deeper and deeper; and that’s highly subjective. I hope you’re finding as much joy in your own fave games as I did in Subnautica!


  • Can you give me a link to that documenation and tooling?

    Linux daemons and utilities typically come with manuals that get installed alongside the software. There’s a command line tool, aptly called man, that can be used to search and display these manuals. So for instance, man resolvectl displays the manual for the command line utility that you can use to control, configure, monitor and debug the systemd-resolved daemon. (Although I usually look up the man page online because it’s more convenient to scroll through than in a terminal.) Man pages for a given daemon will typically mention near the bottom related man pages for e.g. control utilities like resolvectl, so it’s not necessary to remember it by heart.

    a week later they all have different configurations.

    I’m trying to remember any situation where one of the systemd components would change its configuration on its own, but I’m coming up blank. It may be my memory failing me, but possibly that’s the wrong tree to bark up?
