A smart powerplug and/or a fingerbot would solve that problem I guess? But at that point it’s probably cheaper to buy a network connected picture frame.

You could use something like the Toshiba flash air?

Systemd timer to poll upower when running on battery power, when battery is at 20%, use either system beep or set system volume and play a sound?

Missing the joke here? We run a 3090 and a 3900x just fine on ArchLinux.

The biggest feature of Wayland for me is mixed refreshrate monitors works OOB. On X this is a pain to get even remotely working and it’s impossible if your monitors aren’t dividable (120/60 works, 144/60 stutters).

This is from my experience something that is starting to be a way more common issue (high refreshrate laptops with 60 external monitors at businesses or high refreshrate monitor for gaming and a smaller secondary monitor for info lookup/discord).

other than that, Xorg does win the “more stable” prize for me, but if I wanted stability, I should’ve become a carpenter.

Kont is also not the most used, nicest way of saying it. “Billen” is a better match.

I do blame the “why is it so different from English” on “Het Nederlands taalgenootschap”, that was an organization that decided that a lot of Dutchified English would be changed to more Dutch terms. So is “Math” changed into “Wiskunde/Rekenen”.

It’s quite a bad UX, but generally error 2 from make means the called program resulted into an error.

Usually this is accompanied with another error somewhere up the log. Multiple cores can make this a challenge to scan the log for however, so maybe try compiling without the -j argument, that should get the actual error closer to the end.

From my experience, it’s usually an outdated config for the kernel (like using a config for 5.1 while compiling 6.7) or a missing dependency. However the real error will be somewhere among the logs, who knows, maybe it’s a missing processor instruction (it’s really bad UX).

oof

I use a single gpu that I detach from my host and reattach in a vm when I start the vm (and vice versa). I don’t think windows will enjoy a sudden lack of gpu.

As far as I know, no, rotary phones don’t use the nowadays default way of dial tones, so even numeric inputs in call menus don’t work

It used to work at least here in the Netherlands, when you send a sms to a landline, the phone company has a tts service that reads texts like: “incoming text from zero six one… (etc) with the following text: ok boomer” and repeating that twice.

Used to be a really mechanical voice, but I’ve not had a landline in at least ten years.

You can still receive texts on a rotorary right, then it’s read aloud by some computer voice

I prefer for it to be just a warning so I can debug without trouble, the build system will just prevent me from completing the pull request with it (and any other warning).

While I wholeheartedly support and use linux for gaming, I rather blame this on the attempts of apple to block gaming on a mac as much as possible (removing 32bit support, the switch to ARM and not using established standards like opengl and vulkan but building their own ‘metal’)

For unit tests I usually have a test/ folder next to my src/ folder, that duplicates the folder structure. My brain prefers things being seperate from eachother (resources, source code per language, tests) and this is afaik the only way that you can keep it consistent between different languages (C# for example needs a seperate unit test project)

Dutch profanity is fitting as much illnesses in a sentence as possible, with a few racistic remarks.
