In my experience, the only quirk of arch is its installation. pacman and the AUR are great and I really did not have any issues with stability. First time I tried arch I used a tiling window manager, custom menu bars and all that “hackerman” stuff, which was not stable at all and forced me to reconfigure and tweak my machine all day every day. Now I am using a full blown Gnome desktop environment and it is rock stable. My only wish is to have an /etc directory just like Intel Clear Linux.

Really interesting. Probably country specific. Thanks for checking.

Don’t be scared. Embrace the data. Let it flow through the fiber optic cables and into your RAID array. Dew it!

Can you see a system app called “SIM Toolkit”?

Apparently the app is actually called Sim toolkit and it is built into the Android OS. I didn’t even give it permission to send notifications.

I did not buy from the carrier. It’s a OnePlus 9 Pro.

In all my phones so far, a carrier app like this is automatically installed after I boot the phone for the first time with a sim card. Going all the way back to my first android phone.

8 years or so for me. I miss Ableton and Sibelius. I have Bitwig and Musescore but I still miss them. Musescore is getting better and better (I am planning on moving to lilypond anyway) but Bitwig is too alien for me. It is almost the same bu not really. If it was completely different, it might have been easier to get used to. Also I wish there was a viable open source alternative to Bitwig.

There is a carrier app on my phone that cannot be uninstalled without root. I guess all phones have that, even if you don’t have a contract, which I don’t. I disabled roaming, went to another country, and it started to randomly show pop-ups asking me to turn on roaming and activate the international plan. There is an ok and cancel button, and it can pop up right under my fingers while I am typing something. That is pure evil.

Shouldn’t it be “further”? farther is for physical distance, further is for figurative/metaphorical distance.

This is the right answer.

I might actually stick just those parts end to end and put it in a bottle and throw it into the high seas. 🦜☠️

Not in Turkish. It is “olmak” but the actual “to be” as it is used in “I am, they were, etc.” is, now unused “imek”. it has become a suffix and it is completely regular. Just i + person suffix.

absquatulate means skedaddle, got it.

This word makes me physically angry. Why b? Why not governatorial? It is from the same word. Government, governor, etc. I know hsitorically bs and vs change places a lot, beta in Greek is pronounced veta but just pick either v or b god damn it!

Let me introduce you to the British pronunciation of the word “lieutenant”.

lieutenant (UK: /lɛfˈtɛnənt/ lef-TEN-ənt)

hehe :)

I am also using open webui. Most LLMs are too verbose for me, so I created a model in open-webui with system prompt “Do not repeat the questions. Avoid giving lists as answers. Do not summarize the answer at the end. If asked a follow-up question, respond with only new information, do not repeat previously stated information.” and named it No Nonsense.

is that the same Husqvarna that makes dirt bikes and chainsaws?
