+1 for Joplin (https://joplinapp.org/) with Nextcloud / WebDAV for sync. I use the web clipper all the time.

New messages (under an hour I think) are highlighted yellow.

self-promotion caveat: I’m building my sudoku game to be offline and fully accessible: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=digital.cyberpuffin.sudoku

The only thing that might constitute an “ad” is a button on the main menu that leads to a promotion page for my print-on-demand book.

In for a penny…

The move to a subscription model is the disservice and requires no particular savvy to differentiate from free.

Macs and Chromebooks are fine for some people and won’t require as much hand holding as a direct Linux install regardless of the distro.

People are going to rely on what others recommend when they don’t know themselves. It’s up to those people to cull the list from ten to two.

Is the person a budding tech that wants to hack on their system? Send them to Arch.

Are they a creative looking to craft? Throw them into Ubuntu Studios.

Maybe they’re grandparents who barely understand tech. Ok, Mint or Elementary are good options… Just maintain SSH access with keys.

The options are a strength.

Your money, spend it how you want. Me, I’ll eschew the bloated system designed to separate customers from their money in favor of the free and open source alternatives.

Different date format: day / month / year; as opposed to the US standard: month / day / year.

It’s a good rule of thumb, but Godot gives you enough rope to hang yourself with … at least until the next update 😀

If you need to pass information around to different scripts and/or scenes then you may wish to employ Singletons.

Thanks to the successful smear campaign executed by the corporate lawyers.

I don’t use the Steam version because it locks my steam library when I’m coding.

• edit: yeah, that update thing @MJBrune@beehaw.org mentions too 😀

That’s awesome, I wasted so much time on the web browser before playing over ssh and wasting even more time. Shame the drops didn’t seem to speed up.

Pssh, Real techs use uuencode through the terminal to copy files.

I joke, but I’ve resorted to it when I only had a web based console.

I’ve only really used it for net boot (https://netboot.xyz/) myself. Maybe OOB back in the day with some iLo shenanigans, but otherwise I stick with rsync.

It’s the logo for the nearby eyeglasses repair shop!

I bought a Toto HW300-W “Portable Travel Washlet” off Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008O1G4LQ) back in 2018 and it still runs like a champ. The text is all in Japanese, but easy enough to figure out (or Google Lens it if you really want to know).

* Edit: I should note that I paid about half of the current list price :-O

American here. Thanks to woot regularly selling them, I have a bidet on each toilet in the house. I have a battery operated travel bidet, because now I’m hooked.

It has certainly led to… “Interesting” responses from house guests. There’s always TP in stock, so it’s not required. Butt I’m never going back if I can help it.

Kelvin starts at absolute zero and proceeds on the Celsius scale.

Rankine starts at absolute zero and proceeds on the Fahrenheit scale.

And where does poor Rankine sit?

I was going to go with Shit creek.

I’d be inclined to agree… But I’ve had conversations like these, if not publicly.

This one about not being able to find a machine (http://bash.org/?5273) is relatable if you’ve ever had to trace cable in a rat’s nest of a server closet.
