It's hard to screenshot dreams because you are in your dreams and have very low conscious control over your real body.

But you can start the screen recording before you goto sleep so that it'll be recorded automatically. You can extract frames. Good luck.

You know how people say "Devil you know is better than God you don't"?

Excel is that Devil people know. It's not the best tool for a lot of stuffs but it let's people do things.

I saw a co-worker generate sequence for formula in excel for another cell in excel. They wanted to do average of all January data, instead of averageif/sumif/countif etc, they generated a sequence a1+a13+a25...... And used excels' drag down thing to make the formula. I'm like who could even verify it.

Although most people seem to no longer use you as plural. And use you guys, you all, etc because of ambiguity. Similar case with probably happen with they/them and people will learn to communicate singular and plural, no need stop the language progression.

That's how you're supposed to use AUR, I think. All yay, paru, etc do is make it convenient to do that while also helping with searching and upgrading them.

Can you do makepkg in the clone of yay PKGBUILD from aur? That seems like a better solution than symlinking...

Of course. How else do you keep poor people poor and rich richer.

Poor people: charge them extra for not affording things.

Rich people: let them buy things they don't need but can afford and then charge poor people to rent those things.

The reality where people cannot afford $10-20 things. And the corporations just start charging those poor people interest.

Some software is always going to have problems. Specially if the developer never had to work with linux.

In my case I think of it like my choice of Linux like how people may choose other lifestyle. It's not about having superior experience in everything, but about general good experience and self satisfaction.

Just think of it this way, people in the 90s were happy with the softwares they had, so if some subset of software is not available to me it's not end of the world. On the flip side many softwares are only available to me because of linux, my favorite is poppler-tools that allow me to merge PDFs and other pdf related tasks that in windows you'd need to pay Adobe for. If you compare and want things that you can't have it'll always make you unhappy. Everytime you search for a tool, search in linux websites or search source codes and you'll be happy to ignore any tools that have a lot of licensing complications and windows only support. Not saying that's the way to do it, but that's how I do it.

And the reason those few programs don't support Linux is because they don't think we have enough users. So don't hold up on using linux for that reason, it's just a circle.

Not much documentation. I tried to use it, but it was really hard to figure out anything.

I don’t feel locked in, since there are no Spotify originals etc

I don't use Spotify so correct me if I'm wrong. But I think Spotify has podcasts that are only available there.

I told my wife about other open source apps that have music without ads, and even though it had the music, there were some podcasts that were not available without Spotify premium outside of Spotify.

If there was an easy way to use rust or something on webassemly and use that instead of JS. I'd be so happy, but I can't find how to do it without npm.

I think that's why Github suggests MIT as default. Unaware people will just put that. Most open source people just code things they want without thinking much on other aspects. We really need some sort of enforcement to stop companies banking on voluntary work done for the community.

You can use your library for commercial projects that you have. Just have dual license that requires payment for commercial use or something similar. You don't have to pay yourself

Most open source tool have the same thing that it feels like it's made by engineers. I think that's because it's true, most FOSS tools are made by engineers for engineers. Because most project start with someone needing something and then creating it and sharing it.

Chances of a programmer needing something and then making it is a lot higher, than an artist needing it and then making it as then there'd be a need to have the necessary skills to make the software. As someone not from CS field I've seen how much of redundant programs are present for CS related tasks while barely some exists for other fields because the overlap of programmer and that field is low specifically FOSS programmers. And a few programmers that field would have don't have the high level software development skills, so most open source tools made by them are "works on my machine, or works for this specific task" even though with less than 1% more effort they could have made a generalized tool.

Miniserve is a program for computers. Though you can run it in termux. It just opens a tiny server instance for file sharing, you can download/upload files to a directory directory. Will also show QR for the link.

Don't modify the config in /etc/, copy them in ~/.config/ and then modify them. You'll always be able to just look at the /etc/ for defaults.

It is kinda like that. We have a tracker that we added because they increased the insurance rate and said if you install this device we'll keep the rate low based on driving patterns.

Basically records how often you drive, hard break/sharp turns, after midnight drives, etc. We don't drive the car often so the prob of accident is low but we recently learned that they can consider not driving enough also bad saying it can make you drive recklessly or sth.

Ever heard of open source?

If by editing you mean adding texts (forms) and signing, then Firefox, xournal++, rnote etc.

If you mean changing the pdf content, then libre office draw for textual pdf, inkscape for graphical pdf.

I also just open PDF in text editor (or with qpdf's qdf format) and edit certain things. I don't recommend it but due to certain recent events I had to change some font data from PDF and that was the best solution.
