  • Statue of Trump and Epstein holding hands placed on National Mall

    Jump

  • It's unfortunate that there is only one photo of the statue in the article. I'd bet many people would just assume that this is ai generated.

  • I was wondering the same thing. DOE has very little to do with the electric grid.

  • YouTube is now flagging accounts on Premium family plans that aren't in the same household

    Jump

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

  • Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann

  • 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.

  • Newsom launches statewide task force to clear homeless encampments

    Jump

  • It seems like this is a bit of a political move. I understand that the article mentions connecting the homeless that are cleared with the local support structure. But it gives no mention of how those support structures will be improved. No additional funding or infrastructure provided.

    From what I understand the local support structures are already at capacity and generally shelters are still unsafe (especially for women).

    This is either coming from Newsome not understanding the issue at best. And a political move that will just cause more suffering at worst.

  • Newsom launches statewide task force to clear homeless encampments

    Jump

  • It sounds like they plan to clear the camps and dump the people on the (already strained) local support systems without giving any extra funding or infra to those support systems.

  • Syncthing 2.0 Launches With Major Database Overhaul

    Jump

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

  • I was wrong about robots.txt

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Share a script/alias you use a lot

    Jump

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

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

  • Share a script/alias you use a lot

    Jump

  • I have something similar. 

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

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

  • The meaning of this

    Jump

  • _ 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.

  • Finally making the move to Linux, and I have questions before I get started.

    Jump

  • 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.

  • How to (actually) choose a Linux distro

    Jump

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

  • Python needs an actual default function

    Jump

  • 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.

  • [Help] Can't restore a fullscreen game after alt-tabbing, and Windows have white border in borderless fullscreen

    Jump

  • 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.
