This exactly. It feels like everything gets thrown in documents and then it just becomes one big mess. Game saves, coding projects. I’ve even seen some apps put their configs in Documents.

I wish more icon packs had these sort of additional icons.

I wish there were a few more default home directories like games and books. It would make me much more likely to use them overall.

You don’t need to install it to try it. Many distros will let you try the os while it is booted off of the usb. Ofc this doesn’t give you all the functionality and you won’t be able to save data. But you will at least see the performance is better.

.*.*?

If you are looking to get it or try linux gaming in general then I would recommend looking at heroic games launcher which supports games from epic, gog, and Amazon. Past that there is always a huge list of other games (and applications) available for install from lutris’ website. And bottles for specific things, but that is a bit more advanced/nuanced to setup.

I noticed that too. Thought it was just regular YouTube jank as usual.

Oh I’ll agree that sometimes Bluetooth pairing can be finicky.

But the person I replied to was talking about how Bluetooth is not good enough for audiophile quality headphones. But most people don’t care and can’t even notice the difference.

You are right. But for >99% of users Bluetooth is a perfectly sufficient connection format for headphones.

Is this one different than the one on f-Droid? Syncthing-fork

I feel like most casual users would not make the connection of “crawlers” to link previews that they talk about it the article.

Sure, if you understand that robots.txt includes all robots then sure. But that is not how general news media has been talking about robots.txt.

Is this just meant to make git clone always clone recursively?

Can’t you do this with aliases in your .gitconfig?

I have something similar.

alias "..1=cd .."
alias "..2=cd ../.."
... etc

I did have code that would generate these automatically but Idk where it is.

_ can also be used in the python interactive terminal to mean ‘last return value’

Ie:

> 'string'
'string'
> a = _
> print(a)
string

This is very true. Match statements are much more powerful that switch statements in any other language.

For instance:

• matching objects very specifically
• if conditions within case statements
• pulling variables from inside of the object directly.

I’m not sure how many people know this but there is good reason why (at least on android) giving Bluetooth permissions also requires location permissions.

The basic concept is that given enough Bluetooth data an app can pinpoint your location accurately anyways. So the android devs decided that they would just require any app that wanted Bluetooth data would also need to require access to location. That way users would be indirectly informed of the dangers.

Why not just a pop-up to inform of the danger? Probably because most users will click past that warning and not read it.

Protondb is a really good source for that information. I do want to mention protonupqt though. Basically when you go on Protondb you might see that some people are using versions of proton that aren’t included with steam(like proton-GE, aka glorious eggroll). Protonupqt provides a tool that downloads some of those for you and even installs them in steam.

And for games that aren’t on steam using the heroic launcher (for epic, gog, and amazon(?) games) or lutris (everything else) is the way to go.

Strange that kali is listed, since it is such a specialized distro.

The main two reasons that I can think of to include this even when you have no intention of importing this as a library are:

1. For unit testing you will need to import as a module.
2. Sometimes I will run a python interactive interpreter and then import my script so that I can do some manual testing without needing to change my main function or if stmt.

Iirc the white border is a helldivers2 issue

As for minimizing the game I don’t remember having that issue but it has been a while since I played.

I know you are mostly asking about ripping the media. But I would recommend looking at tiny media manager to pull metadata and organize.
