Good rule of thumb to have is that a company acquisition is always bad.

My guess: Nothing will change in the short-term but from the post it’s clear they want Arduino chips to focus way more on business and way less on hobbyists and education - which is kinda what made Arduino so loved.

It’s Arabic. The pic is a pun on “Good morning” which is written sabah el-fol. The picture says sabah el-farawla which roughly translates to “Good Strawberring”.

They extended security upgrades for one year only. Still, a major win!

85%! I’ve gotten pretty good at this.

A standardized file format isn’t comparable to them changing software they own though. They can’t “take back” WEBP and it’s well-supported by basically everything these days. There’s zero risk of a rug pull, so why wouldn’t you use it when it’s objectively better at compression compared to something like jpeg and gif?

What problems does discord have?

Huh, I’ve done it a couple of times with no issue. Updated the above comment to remove that recommendation, then.

There aren’t any alternatives that are as good or feature-rich. If you’re willing to settle for less there’s Revolt that’s trying to be a 1-to-1 clone but is still in alpha, then there are apps based on Matrix which somehow makes using a chat app 10x harder.

Yeah Discord has been wacky on Linux lately, they pushed maybe 4 different updates the past week that forced you to update the package immediately.

Pro tip: Sync the package manager database before trying to update. It could tell you there are no updates when it’s just pacman being out of date.

I know it’s great that Reddit is getting less useful but it’s still infuriating that I can’t find any help on very specific issues where the only answer was that one deleted comment/post.

It’s for alternate Reddit front-ends and rarely ever works.

it’s hard to tell if this was Reddit’s doing or just that of a fed-up user who deleted their own posts when leaving

The latter, Reddit doesn’t remove your comments and posts when your account gets deleted.

Bloody tiny ribbon cables…

Yeah… They’re sturdier than they look but it’s still scary that pulling on one of them could completely ruin the joycon. My bigger problem was the battery connector, I intended to remove the battery completely but after trying to disconnect it twice, I gave up and just moved it aside. I was too worried I’d break it.

Oof, how did that happen? Left it out under the sun?

Yeah I’m aware of the hall effect replacements which are pretty cheap, but this fix was essentially free and should last me at least a few months until the sticks degrade. Once it really stops working I’ll look into opening it again and fixing it for real.

It’s not a big deal since git repos aren’t hard to migrate. GitHub is fine currently and if they push people away then there are a couple of alternatives.

Firefox hosting on Github is a good move because it lowers the barrier of entry for contributors.

It doesn’t do anything by default, you have to go to settings > zen mods > click the settings icon next to the mod name.

If you set the options and nothing happened then I’m not sure, it worked for me instantly when toggling stuff off.

I’ve started using more Zen Mods recently too, the most important one I would say is Zen Context Menu - which lets you de-clutter the options when you right click anything. There are way too many options being shown when you right clicked the sidebar, but it’s a lot nicer to use now.

I use Joplin. It’s fairly simple and very comparable to Evernote if you’ve ever used that, but it’s perfect for my needs.

I used LogSeq before, it’s very similar to Obsidian, the big difference being that it’s open source. It’s got a ton of features and the built-in whiteboard is actually really good, but I found it a bit overkill for my simple note taking.

• Logseq also makes each line start with a bulleted list which quickly made me go insane
