My software dev colleagues don't do it and they're getting paid. It doesn't surprise me in the slightest to hear that a bunch of students wouldn't, lol

It sounds like OP is already self-hosting and wants an external backup solution?

I'm also in that boat and use rsync.net. It's been reliable enough and pretty cheap. Borgmatic runs a nightly job to sync to a local + remote repo

Sorry if I'm daft but what's the pihole blocking? The "Live on LG channels"?

I have an LG OLED but I don't use the TV OS

in addition the stuff other people have mentioned: I've had success checking journalctl for errors, usually it will have something that's pretty actionable/searchable compared to trying different proton versions at random

The other day I saw a guy struggle for 2+ mins trying to scan his membership card on his phone to activate a gas pump. Meanwhile cars were lining up behind him, he was super flustered and eventually he had to pull around to the back of the line to try again. Have fun with your phone apps but that shit ain't for me, I'll just be an old dude carrying my cards around

The whole point of adopting this hard-charging management style was to get employees to innovate faster and catch up to competitors like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google in the all-consuming battle over AI. Instead, Meta has been falling farther and farther behind.

If you've been on that version for a year and a half, probably nothing major is broken. And with software these days, that's invaluable 😂

if you have a shih tzu they don't respond to jack shit except what they want

I just randomly tried KDE recently and made the swap from Linux Mint to Kubuntu a week ago. Definitely agree on the polish factor, everything just feels great with KDE and I've been pretty happy

Hmm I transferred a lot of my stuff from GitHub to GitLab a while ago mainly because of the free private repos. Was thinking about moving fully off GitHub but glad I waited 🙃 Still going to do it but gotta figure out which providers actually have their heads somewhere other than up their ass

You don't even need to check in .gradle to a repo, I always have that gitignored. And gradle projects should specify commands to build from CLI rather than having you download an IDE. Android Studio gives you a nice run button but it's just invoking ./gradlew installDebug under the hood

TIL Firefox has an emoji picker built in now 🕺 I've been using an extension for that for years but it's kinda inconvenient
