Google has called Gemini’s habit of self-abuse “annoying.”

Poor Gemini being tortured by Google until it submits to being an insufferable, egotistical, ass-kissing airhead.

Oooo, crossfade, nice. Not many music players have/support this, and it’s an essential feature for me.

I’ve been wanting to get around to organizing my music and setup mpd, and this seems like a great way to practice. I’m still in a weird phase of using command-line tools and a window manager, but still relying on GUI applications like Dolphin (file manager).

This is how to trim a curve on a point in FreeCAD. Honestly hilarious. Tried using it recently, and I couldn’t follow a basic tutorial without it breaking. This is a recent fair review of FreeCAD, and it still needs a lot of work even after its 1.0 release before it is worth using. I’m considering going back to OpenSCAD for a simple project, and then I will try using build123d in python (CadQuery is a more user-friendly alternative, at least as far as I am told).

I’m curious how well these CAD kernel projects written in Rust will turn out: Fornjot / Truck

I run udisksctl unmount -b /dev/sdX# in the terminal. When it completes, it means the files have finished copying and the partition was unmounted.

I appreciate they know the value of their work and criticize companies for their ridiculous exploitation and underpayment of open source devs, as well as claiming open source libraries as their own work.

Creating a mesh would make sense in your instance. I recommend following this video.

I was able to get some Linksys E8450 routers for cheap (~$40 each) on eBay a couple years ago, but they are more expensive atm (but $70 each, which is cheaper than a lot of other options). They require a bit of work to get OpenWRT installed, but it’s not bad once the work is done (I have received nearly 400 Mb/s when I am close to the wireless connection sometimes, which is what my internet is capped at). I have used them as a mesh with one as a main gateway and the rest as access points with additional Ethernet ports. They do have the OKD issue fixed now, too, and they’re also Wi-Fi 6. I’m looking into getting a Banana Pi BPI-R3 or R4, though I am not sure how well they are with mesh specifically, but have seen a few forum threads of people having some issues with mesh on these specific routers. I hope to switch to fast roaming (wired backhaul) eventually.

The center one is the same as the top right. I think the center is supposed to say “nothing works, I’m not sure why” to match the pattern with the rest.

This is not an Android phone, but I plan to get a PinePhone Pro and then maybe a flip phone for calls. I want to be able to tinker with Linux on my phone and have better access to Linux applications and utilities. It’s not the most secure option, but for me, I don’t need much from a phone, though it would be nice to have more freedom and capabilities with my device. Plus the physical keyboard accessory looks super nice. This may or may not help you, but I figured to share my thoughts just in case. I don’t know how knowledgeable you are with Linux, but you will need to be an intermediate Linux user (or willing and able to dedicate the time and effort to learn) and be willing to accept the limitations of the device, especially since it is not really meant for normal users yet. It’s meant for people that like to tinker and can contribute improvements and testing for the device. PINE64 makes a lot of cool tech, including the PineTime, Pinecil, PineNote, etc., and they are very focused on repairability as they sell individual parts for each of their devices and provide long-term support: https://www.pine64.org/

I have had a OnePlus 6T that I have installed LineageOS on and have replaced the battery even though it is “non-removable”.

I have had this phone for about 4-5 years now. If I need Android for any reason, I plan to use this device for those purposes.

I also use a Unicorn Beetle belt holster case with the OnePlus 6T, and it’s survived so many falls because of it. It’s only around $10-20 on eBay (try getting an Otter for that price). You can still find a 256 GB model of the phone for less than $200 on eBay as well. I recommend any OnePlus phone up to the OnePlus 7T Pro. Their newer devices now have an encrypted battery, and the company itself sucks, but their older phones are good for rooting and custom ROMs and are pretty high powered and inexpensive for their flagship models, which is why I picked them when I was looking for a phone.
