Why would I need to remember an ip address if I have a hostname? I don’t know my ipv4 anywhere since it’s all dynamic.

Standards like those change just fine. Sure some stuff uses ascii still, but almost everything I encounter is unicode. Email has had so many things added on over the years that that’s not a fair comparison either. Other countries have plenty of kb layouts that are more popular locally than qwerty but came afterwards.

At some point ipv6 will be the default and we’ll just use compatibility layers to access ipv4 only things. We don’t need every device on board, just the ISPs

I’d always prefer a biodegradable and renewable material that I have to replace every few years over an artificial one that’ll be around forever in some form. Not everything needs to be made out of petroleum

you can also just add more buckwheat if it gets too flat too. although fwiw I bought one a couple years ago and took out a bit to make it flatter initially, and haven’t needed to add it back yet

is there compositor support? is there a way to get kde to rotate my monitor to a specific degree via cli?

keep in mind I have no idea if there are real use cases for diagonal monitors, I just duct taped an accelerometer to the back of my monitor and can only get it to rotate in 90 degree increments with kscreendoctor and thought it would be funny if the picture was just always upright

not sure what you’re talking about with lisp lol, the military may have some dialect they wrote but lisp started as an academic language and there’s plenty of still supported and used dialects outside of that

wayland doesn’t support diagonal monitors

this just looks like poor moderation, enshittification very specifically refers to monetization efforts of the company destroying the platform

not sure for what purpose you want a tablet, but I had a fujitsu 2 in 1 in college that was pretty solid for linux support. no problems with pen drivers or anything. the screen swiveled around and it folded down into a tablet. it was pretty bulky compared to an android tablet or similar, but it worked well for taking noes and had a full keyboard when I wanted it

one more for using nix, but for language tooling I generally prefer a nix shell and installing per project dependencies there. then updates don’t break random projects and you know all the dependencies of a given project

fwiw it is possible to get games from all the other stores. the only restriction is it has to be runnable on linux, which really isn’t that big of a deal anymore with the current state of proton. it is a bit more work than games from steam tho

they’re really not, slc has a pretty progressive community but it’s in direct opposition to the mormons. they’re officially accepting of gay people, but as long as they don’t do anything gay. they aren’t ok with trans people who transition at all.

utah also recently passed bathroom laws for all govt controlled buildings and schools and there are ones for colleges in the works.

generally mormons will be nice and accepting if they think they can convert you, but that’s about as far as it goes

is it legal to carry flashing red and blue lights when crossing streets as a pedestrian? The number of times I’ve gotten stuck in the middle of the crosswalk bc no one will stop is absurd

Brother laser.

this guy writes shitty code

haven’t looked into protonvpn much, but it’s more or less a different company providing the same service. I imagine the differences aren’t too significant if you trust both companies

they in theory see everything someone does, but in the case of mullvad they have no idea who you are

I’ve put more work into getting wsl to work at work than I have my home linux machines. it’s just so unreliable for some reason. I ended up just giving up and running a full vm instead, and it’s so much nicer since I can just pretend windows doesn’t exist

canonical has had it’s run with the latter two, at least briefly. it’s not out of the picture at least

the browser based office does just work if that helps. I don’t have anything for the cc side tho

I feel like mouse heavy games aren’t too bad as long as they work with the touchscreen
