Thanks. I'm now interested again.

I don't anticipate ever needing to store more than a dozen laptops, so even removing two adjacent aligners...

[ssokolow]

From what I remember, laptops are often designed with the assumption that having the lid closed and running the things that need cooling at maximum will...

[ssokolow]

And what part of needing a crutch like C or C++ (as opposed to assembly language) is supposed to be "skilled" in your book?

Seriously,...

[ssokolow]

I like the idea. Unfortunately, those guides appear to be fixed and the laptops I'd want to store are thick ones from the 1990s so I guess I'll have to...

[ssokolow]

The point is to be an experiment. That's more point than most hobby projects have....

[ssokolow]

O_O Listen to yourself. Do you have any self-awareness? You're turning into a walking example of Poe's law....

[ssokolow]

Thank you for finally properly describing writing correct C++ as part of a team of N humans where N>1....

[ssokolow]

Biggest LOL because that's the exact opposite of the truth.

In theory, LLVM is slower but, in practice, we generally see Rust creations being...

Basically, emulating certain quirks of Windows synchronization primitives on top of Linux kernel synchronization primitives is a big performance hit,...

[ssokolow]

Thanks. I only vaguely remembered it from an OSNews post that I'm not sure I bookmarked....

Last I heard (back during the Windows 8 era), the idea being considered, which Windows 10's Virtualization Based Security is a weaker form of, was to...

Ungoogled Chromium already applies patches to restore things like being able to theme away dark mode in incognito windows. (Source: I'm the one who asked...

Y'know, sooner or later you wind up with this:

Everyone: We can't walk on water
Jesus: LOL. Skill issue....

[ssokolow]

I don't know where in the stack the limitation comes from (could just be a UI fail but the sudos in the too-complicated-to-bother guides I've found for...

[ssokolow]

See previous reply about why I'm doing most of them.

As for why I listed them, don't think too highly of yourself. I listed them because...

[ssokolow]

To be fair, half of those are things I was working on for other reasons anyway.

For example:

• The PyQt rewrite of part of Geeqie is so I

I used to use that, since it's packaged for Lubuntu's use, but, since I started using Flatpak to make it easy to upgrade/downgrade Inkscape (it's already...

[ssokolow]

Oh? Nice. That means it's Kubuntu's fault I don't have it and I don't even have to wait for my 22.04 LTS to 24.04 LTS bump if I track down the correct...

[ssokolow]

It's bad enough that I can't find a suitable Inkscape replacement for editing my SVGs, given that GTK 3's theming API is apparently too restrictive for...

[ssokolow]

If only that were true for VirtualBox upstream and not just Cyberus Technology's fork of it.

Even if AQEMU were maintained, it's got an inferior...
