Started with git bare repos, moved to stow, now on chezmoi

started exactly the same, now using YADM and loving its simplicity.

I thought “wtf” after reading the problem, said “wtf” out loud after reading this comment. pretty neat :)

What an insane thing to have happened

People should understand that words like “unaware” or “overconfident” are not even applicable to these pieces of software. We might build intelligent machines in the future but if you know how these large language models work, it is obvious that it doesn’t even make sense to talk about the awareness, intelligence, or confidence of such systems.

It seems to work just fine on OnePlus 9 Pro but says “Warning unsupported device” when it starts.

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.

Tired of this AI bullshit creeping into and ruining everything. Unfortunately this is probably just the beginning.

If you stumble open a problem like that, Windows, even macos, are also that diddly. Even more so, because they are designed to hide the internals from the user. I had to use my old MacBook for something. While sleeping, it wakes up, connects to my bluetooth headphone, I hear “device connected”, then disconnects 10 seconds later, “device disconnected”, and repeats 20 seconds later. Searched, “how to disable Bluetooth while sleeping”.Turns out there is no official way and the answer is competing with Linux shenanigans. Just look at this!

Also it launches Music app whenever I connect my bluetooth headphones. And guess what, it is impossible to disable that behavior. I had to install an app called NoTunes to stop that.

People just accept the quirks of windows and macos. when something similar happens on Linux it proves Linux is unusable by “normal people”. But you are also right. Linux is not there yet. I did need to use my old MacBook because something I need to do was impossible on Linux.

Why “no websockets” is good? What’s wrong with it?

There were something called “Java applets” on the web before flash. It was real Java, probably a sunset of that. There was an addon just like flash.
