This AI blocklist for uBlacklist and uBlock origin should help.

jsyk, BPD stands for Borderline Personality Disorder, not bipolar disorder. I get them mixed up as well because BPD could reasonably stand for both.

The disorders can seem similar, which leads to more confusion, but they are pretty different in some aspects.

Not entirely sure if this would apply in your case, but for future reference you can sort of “recalibrate” the battery percentage by:

1. charging the device to 100% and keeping the charger on for a while (normally a few hours)
2. drain the battery until the device shuts off
3. charge the device back to 100% without unplugging it (keep it connected for a few hours again just to be sure)

Not sure if the original image is, but this one is just an edit (look at the slightly bluer background behind the word “crazy”)

NixOS configuration is done entirely through code, so all of your packages are in a list (although that list can be spread across multiple files; it’s a bit to explain)

I’ve found it can be easier to manage what you have installed, since you can just look at that list and go “oh, why do I still have xyz installed, idek what that does anymore”

I appreciate the way things are configured a lot, but I would not recommend it unless you really like coding and you have time to tinker. It’s not too hard to get simple config setup, but I spiraled down a deep rabbit hole really quickly.

EDIT: If my comment for some reason persuaded you to use NixOS, I recommend you get a basic config setup before installing it. I’d also recommend you look at how annoying it can be to run dynamically-linked applications (i.e. you download a random executable off the Internet and try to run it, or you try to run something you downloaded with npm)

iirc, it’s typically the pixel a series, normal pixel series, the most expensive iPhone, and the Samsung flagship (or smth like that)

The Pixels tend to give really punchy contrast which a lot of people like

Most of it for me is the font. It seems like chatgpt likes to use the same font for everything

It also kind of feels off somehow. I can’t explain. it, but there’s just something wrong with this image

For your journey, I found this Linux mint thread that looks to be helpful. I’ve not touched cups in a while bc the only printers I have access to only allow printing through some crappy proprietary app that doesn’t have a Linux version, so I can’t attest to its correctness.

I wonder what the print issue is caused by…

I normally hear that Linux is normally better for printing.

Alas, printers suck

oh lol

Some parts of the world (mostly Europe, I think) use dots instead of commas for displaying thousands. For example, 5.000 is 5,000 and 1.300 is 1,300

I wish.

My father currently works in IT and has “smart” everything (except locks, thankfully)

He has multiple Alexa thingies (used to be Google homes), Internet thermostat, smart light switches, smart cameras/doorbells, smart plugs

Idk why he does. The only thing that really provide any value are the light switches and plugs (scheduled lighting) and maybe the doorbell thingies

Ah yes, they’re going to collect all those 0’s /s

No, they’re going to collect a “this person used the chatbot sidebar” if that person has telemetry enabled. That’s it.

If something changes or comes to light, then I’ll be worried, but this just seems like normal technical data they use to know what to prioritize.

For anyone wondering “where do they get their money?”

It’s from businesses who buy their SDK. They (allegedly) don’t sell any of your data

Magic Earth is free for all our end-users but we also have a paid Magic Earth SDK for business partners. For instance Selectric.de (a supplier for navigation solutions for ambulances and fire trucks), Smarter AI (developing ADAS systems) or Absolute Cycling (using the platform on bicycles). For more info on the SDK, you can check magiclane.com.

I haven’t been able to test it out yet, but it seems pretty decent

torzu currently does this, though iirc the development is slowing because it’s a big time commitment

Proton comes with steam, and you can get other versions on top of it if you want.

If you’ve got steam, you can run games through proton very easily

It’s probably something like “why would you want to waste precious resources on something so small” or whatever, which just leads to shitty messes everywhere

Without knowing specifics, I’m going to assume the “attack pride parades” bit is the people protesting against corporatized pride parades that are heavily sponsored by genocide-funding corporations.

BTW stands for by the way.

So it’s basically a meme of “I use arch, by the way.”
