  • Tinkering Bug

    Jump

  • Literally me with my Framework laptop, trying to get hidpi to work. I either get tiny text, blurry text, tiny icons, but fine text, or some other weird combination of shit. Luckily, gnome-terminal does work. So as long as I never use any GUI apps, then hidpi "works" on the Framework. 🥴👍

    No, I will not switch to Fedora. Yes, I've tried it. No, I'm not a fan of "fixing" hidpi by avoiding scaling, everything is tiny. Yes, I've also tried the new Framework display at 2x scaling, no I didn't like it.

    The real solution for me is to avoid this class of problems altogether by going back to a regular dpi screen, where everything was legible, clear, and I could use whatever damn GUI apps I wanted. I'm moving back to an X11 Carbon (rip Dell XPS) next chance I get.

  • I don't joke actually. I chose "Unitedstatians" exactly because that's what other languages do.

  • For sure use Tailscale for VPN. They have apps for iPhone, Android, macOS, and Linux, so setting up your own personal network will be easy. Hosting on the real internet is definitely advanced and not always necessary.

  • My family won't care. The best I could hope for is "🤷 idk", but I'll probably get "you don't understand how politics works, he can't just wave a magic wand."

    In fact, now that ICE has started rounding up people in California, all I've heard is, "But the other side said we can't say merry christmas!!11 😭"

  • I've tried asking for help, but the person I find doesn't work in that department and the assigned person doesn't show up for like 30 minutes. It's faster to drive across town to the store that doesn't have my item behind glass.

  • The US doesn't have exclusive rights to "America" as a name.

    Agreed. Let's also change our demonym to Unitedstatian.

  • Dell kills the XPS brand

    Jump

  • Dell XPS and Lenovo X1 Carbon are the best laptops for running Linux. I currently have an AMD Framework and, while it's nice that it's repairable, Linux support is crap compared to the XPS and X1. I was actually looking into selling this junk Framework laptop and buying an X1 Carbon.

  • More than you think, actually. My wife recently signed up. I'm like, Babe! I already have uBlock Origin to block ads on desktop! On mobile, Firefox also blocks ads and allows listening to videos with the screen off. 😫

    But, we still get ads on our smart LG TV. So. That's apparently enough to throw the money away.

  • Don't reply "just Google it"

    Jump

  • Check the documentation can be pretty useless a lot of times. The docs aren't always great or they're huge and I have a specific question. Often times I do check them, but they're incomplete or unclear. Or the docs change or the links die.

    Just answer the question anyway and then say where you found it.

  • Uh, yeah, exactly. I'm like wat. Chapulines are delicious. At worst they kinda taste like walnuts to me. If people ate them blindfolded in a taco with other ingredients, I don't imagine too strong of a reaction.

  • What do you host for your finances and why!

    Jump

  • That link kinda showcases exactly my point... It's pretty useless to me. I know how to install the app. I don't know what the daily workflow looks like.

    Compare that to the tutorials YNAB has on YouTube. Those talk more about how to use the app to budget.

    Anyway, it's fine. I understand I'm not the target audience for Actual. It seems like it's for people who already have prior experience with finance apps.
