#ebooks is composed of datahoarders that have a lot of stuff available. You declare the data source you’re getting the book from (e.g. Oatmeal) and then the name of the book.

This is common in rolling releases, but Pop OS isn’t a rolling release distro. Maybe a package you installed or something similar?

Most programming books start with tips for starters. I don’t think that’s a good way to do it. I want books that get into the programming techniques the pros use. What to use when building functions, how to build a proper class within the goals set. I think this is better than explaining the reserved words or other things that belong to an encyclopedia.

Anything that makes Godot better is a good thing.

With a Wi-Fi adapter on Desktop?

I think Windows is successful because it creates a nice Enterprise environment, where companies can easily get into investing into new apps to use in their offices. I think that’s why it’s successful.

I think problems that could be solved are generic hardware compatibility. Being able to install Wi-Fi adapters and Digital Tokens easily on Linux would go a long way. I think it will get there, though.

I had one last week because of Storage problems.

Third party licensed apps are everything on Windows.

That was kind of expected, but Claude isn’t that good either.

I use Geany. It’s lightweight and easy to use, but there are some features missing.

I firmly believe that connecting people to their IRL friends is an important part of the potential of the Internet, as it is shown by Facebook, for example.

But I also believe there are people looking to connect with new people and finding a community where they can express themselves wholly. I think the current Internet is weak in this regard, weaker than it has been before, but I think it’s possible to build a place where people can connect.

That seems like a good idea.

It’s incredible how that proprietary software is actually inefficient e-waste. Most FOSS isn’t bloated or slow, but proprietary software got the high ground because of contracts and “security”, I’m sure.

I know it’s rough. Trying to find a job that pays well and isn’t deep into proprietary stuff like SQL Server, C# and alike. Sadly this scenario is overwhelmingly the case, and until the crowdfunded and open source scenario get strong (they still aren’t) there isn’t too much of an option.

Sometimes Claude Haiku (which has few billion parameters) knows things that ChatGPT doesn’t.

Finally something useful on Android. Now I want all phones to be modular (freely assembled motherboard, processor and peripherals)

I’ve read the full C++ programming book by Bjarne Stroustrup before. It’s good because you get the insight of the author about the language, but I don’t think it’s the best way to learn the language. I think it’s good if you want to learn what is at the root of the programming language.

This year’s BRICS convention was really under the radar. I tried following it live, but couldn’t. And it definitely wasn’t clear that nine new nations would join.
