I’ve been using more https://cheat.sh/ or --help on specific commands and subcommands.

It’s usually less noise than in a man page, and no need to install a specific man page for each command you want.

I find it really hard to replace maps, because half of the times I use it it’s because of photos, reviews, or traffic information that’s just not available in other places.

Maybe there’s a technical difference, but at least in Brazil, publicidade and propaganda are widely used as synonyms

• https://www.dicio.com.br/publicidade/
• https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escola_Superior_de_Propaganda_e_Marketing

It is uncommon to call propaganda (in the political sense) publicidade, so maybe in popular conversations this makes publicidade a kind of propaganda, and not the other way around.

idk about other languages, but in Portuguese it’s literally the same word

if you use this often, you can add a keyword search (firefox-based browsers) or a custom site search (chromium-based) with this URL

https://icon-sets.iconify.design/?query=%25s

(use %s after equals; some lemmy front-ends seem to be rendering it wrong)

and a shortcut e.g. icon

so everytime you enter e.g. icon person in a new tab, it’ll run the search for you

you just know a company like Microsoft or Apple will eventually try suing an open source project over AI code that’s “too similar” to their proprietary code.

Doubt it. The incentives don’t align. They benefit from open source much more than are threatened by it. Even that “embrace, extent, extinguish” idea comes from different times and it’s likely less profitable than the vendor lock-in and other modern practices that are actually in place today. Even the copyright argument is something that could easily backfire if they just throw it in a case, because of all this questionable AI training.

Even if you’re into AI coding, I never understood the hype around cursor. In the beginning, they were just 3 months ahead of alternatives. Today you can’t even say that anymore and they’re still “worth” billions. You can get a similar prediction quality from other editors if you know how to use them, paying a fraction of the price.

Cursor also chugs on tokens like a 1978 Lincoln Continental, that’s how they get marginally better results, so bringing your API is not even a viable option. The first time I tried it, I asked a simple 1-line edit on a markdown and it sent out 20k tokens before I could say “AGI is 6 months away”, and it still got the change wrong.

it works!!!

I miss start menu ads, intrusive bing searches, copilot upselling, MSN news, and uninstallable things I’ll never use on my PC like Xbox.

no problem. I can see that, at the same time, the directory of the place I work at has 20x that number and finding someone is never an issue, so I also don’t bother cleaning up my local list.

of course most are not used, that is fine, I don’t understand why anyone would bother deleting “unused” contacts

I have over 800 and I’m not even a salesperson or anything like that; that’s mostly from exchanged emails over the years

I’d probably give the extra item to someone, even if a stranger, but I certainly wouldn’t put more money in the machine. Especially considering most machines just give the money back if there’s no purchase made. What a dumb question.

Providing government identification

I don’t think so, big brother

I’m feeling again a sudden urge to buy a small countryside house and live off the grid

All MX master keys are recognized on Linux, but there aren’t many extra keys, I don’t think the official software lets you create macros either.

In any case, you usually don’t need hardware-specific software to create macros on Linux because there are ways to remap keys and actions that are independent to the hardware used.

Idk any mouse that won’t work on Linux, but my next one will probably be a keychron

I’ve never had to look for disabling middle click paste because it broke panning or orbiting in 2d or 3d canvas. Same thing for games, middle click works just fine there.

yeah, I use it all the time to copy username and password in one go instead of fiddling with the clipboard history

that is fine, the only requirement AFAIK is the user being in the docker group in case you’re having permission issues running it as user
