You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
The warp one seems to do that.
But there are still if, while, function definitions, etc. in scripting languages. It doesn’t seem to me that different than even programming in assembler. In Assembler you also call subroutines, etc. and in every other language you also call functions from libraries.
Is scripting programming?
43·1 month agoI never did dual boot. The first time moving from windows 2000 to Linux, my hard drive was only 2 GB and I couldn’t fit both of the OS:es on it, so I nuked the windows one.
Good intention, shit execution.
I don’t get it because my phyton code is indented exactly the same as all my other code. Each block of code one tab in/out, how else would you do it?
17·2 months agoI feel it’s good and bad at the same time.
Good that you will have an alternative to the play store.
Bad because it erodes trust when money starts being the main motivator to do things.
You can run Lemmy or PieFed (which also has build in polls) non federated as a private instance, this way the content will not be sent to other instances and it’s basically a forum. You can also disable open signups and only add users manually.
But then you still need to do something about anonymous access, because both just show the content to people who are not signed in, so you would need to put it behind some extra login or so.
That’s the main reason my software is in the AUR but nowhere else. I tried to make a deb package and failed so many times so I just gave up.
Debian Netinstall.
8·2 months agoI should look into ESPhome too, I think I could find some cool things to do with it, but for some reason I never did. Thanks for posting this, it looks cool. Are you getting the information from some API which also shows if the bus is late or is it a static time table?
It’s some time ago I dug deeper on what was happening, but openconnect was getting a different response from the server than it expected and it just failed because of that.
I did, doesn’t work with our company setup with 2FA.
I see, nice, but I’m on Linux, so perhaps I need to run power shell there ^^
- Gimp to batch edit pictures in a script (I know about ImageMagick but still)
- Excel to change stuff in excel files quickly (I know about python modules but it’s so complicated to use)
- Proprietary VPN software like Cisco AnyConnect, I want to automate the login when I boot, but they don’t let me
Just from the top of my head.
For me it’s the other way around I wish there would be better CLI support for GUI apps.
Oh for real, I had to throw it away after one year and I got a used ThinkPad instead.

Arch a video, I wish someone would just list those 3 reasons as text here ^^
I would suggest you have a look of immich.
It also has mobile apps to do the backup and as a frond end on the phone. And what I really like is you can mount in your existing external libraries without copying all the pictures in and they will just be integrated automatically.
