I think the chances of this being reposted on 196 quite high lol. Heck, it might have even been posted while I wrote this comment.

I did this once using graph paper. It worked perfectly.

I wonder where they got Switzerland from. Looking at the PostmarketOS core contributors, many seem to be from the Netherlands or other European countries. My understanding is that PostmarketOS is almost completely volunteer run, with whoever is willing to contribute.

No, regular user-space applications have full access to files and other info. However, if you only use the builtin package manager, you can trust that the apps you use are probably trustworthy.

Flatpak apps can be sandboxed, though many apps will come with very loose permissions by default.

It’s pretty hard to go wrong with chicken and rice.

The people editing their images in Blender are the same people who edit their videos in Blender lol.

I think the context is talking to a stranger for the first time, hence needing to check pronouns.

TIL that Nintendo designed the usb-c port not to be compatible. Fuck them for that.

The Environment Canada weather forecasts are pretty barebones

I’m going to have to disagree with you on that. I actually really like how Environment Canada presents their forecasts. They have a text description for each day, which I like because it shows how much data they actually have about the forecast for that day. Also, no ads and no bullshit on their website.

Blender 2.7 and the versions that came before were a perfect fit for this meme. They overhauled the UI for Blender 2.8 and made the default color scheme a much darker grey, so Blender has not fit this meme for quite a few years.

I would recommend against the pinephone. While the hardware is well supported, the hardware sucks. Voyager in Firefox runs at around 4 fps, while the battery percent drops every minute and the back of the phone is uncomfortably hot.

You would be better off with a Pixel 3a, oneplus 6 or poco f1, which are all supported by PostmarketOS. While many hardware features don’t work on these phones, they all have rudimentary camera support and have actually good SOCs that perform well.

I think the joke here is that the people in the other building can see you when you pee.

As described here, calling someone trans when they themselves don’t identify that way is problematic, since you are imposing a gender on that person.

I used this project. The seller didn’t have any in stock when I modded my console, so I got JLC PCB to manufacture the PCB and do the assembly. I also had to trim quite a bit of the chassis since I ordered the PCB too thick. My specific mod only fits in old xl models though. This tindie listing looks better than what I did and works on all consoles.

I did the same to my 3ds. Totally worth it, especially considering that the original connector was not standard and did not make proper contact anymore.

lvra.gitlab.io is a great source of info for vr on linux. The discord server you mentioned is also bridged to Matrix for those who don’t want to use discord.

Gamers yearn for better graphics. Also, the og HTC Vive is still completely usable today, unlike the quest 1.

Blind people cannot drive. They exist. Or how about people too young to get a driving permit? Or people who cannot afford to buy, maintain, insure and store a vehicle?

Reducing car dependency increases mobility.

IIRC some self-driving systems even break road laws by not coming to a full stop at stop signs.
