I was saying “that” is how it is.

Other way around friend capital i is still shorter than lowercase L

This is that. I was referring to the previous comment when I said “that”, so I agree with you.

That’s stupid, the capital letter should be taller than the lowercase; and yet that’s how it is in almost every font!

something China doesn’t do

hmmmm

Are you saying that China will collapse/decommunize?

If you don’t care about extensions, try some of those “DE default” browsers that never seem to be actual defaults. The ones like GNOME Web, Falkon, Konqueror, Midori (it was the default on one XFCE system once).

I would travel back in time and make Acorn RISC OS go mainstream. It’s a light OS with a full desktop environment, capable of playing video and rendering anti-aliased fonts, that boots all from ROM and runs on an 8MHz ARM CPU and 512 KB RAM.

I said “go back in time” because I’m not sure how advanced it is compared to modern systems, it’s single-user only and has cooperative multitasking, instead of preemptive.

I’d just like to interject for a moment…

Upvoted solely for the last line

Everything here reminds everyone of that.

It wasn’t anything big that caused me to switch. It was just a general feeling of “oh, maybe I’ll switch” and annoyance at Windows, and then I got a new SSD.

Here’s a few of the micro-hacks that I’ve hacked up in the past.

#!/bin/sh  

clear  
doas chroot /linux /bin/login

#!/bin/sh
#Works only for C
vim $1.c && cc -O3 -Wall -Werror -Wno-unused-result $1.c -o $1
#MODE=`stat -f "%OLp" $1`
if ("stat -f "%OLp" $1 | grep -e 6 -e 4 -e 2") then
	chmod +x $1
fi

#!/bin/sh

#dos2unix -O -e -s $1 | sed 's/    /	/g' | sed 's/“/"/g' | sed 's/”/"/g'
cat $1 | sed 's/    /	/g' | sed 's/“/"/g' | sed 's/”/"/g'
#Convert DOS line endings to Unix ones and add a final newline if there isn't one,
#replace sequence of 4 spaces with tab,
#and replace "smart" quotes with normal ones

I just keep those ones for historical value, but there’s one hack I use every day. My keyboard doesn’t have a function key (Fn), so I use the Super/Windows key instead.
I have xdotool keyup Super_L keyup Super_R keyup F4 key XF86Sleep bound to a custom keyboard shortcut. It unpresses the keys used for the shortcut (Super + F4), then presses the sleep key.

Damn Taskbar is gold

What is unclutter?

And your first pet’s name, and your social security number

Not really trying to accomplish much, just trying to save a few seconds in the manual installation process.

Mounting /var/log in RAM just seems like more trouble than it’s worth.

What if I’m on another minimal distro, like Artix, that doesn’t use systemd? Journald is a systemd thing, and I’m not going to install systemd on top of a perfectly good init system.

Today on “Was this caused by stupidity or malice”…

Microsoft said earlier this month it would apply “a Secure Boot Advanced Targeting (SBAT) update to block vulnerable Linux boot loaders that could have an impact on Windows security,”

(emphasis mine)

That is a cool app.
