Hey I’m looking at doing the same- what’d you go to grad school for?

I read a lot of fantasy with muskets and such. It’s even called Flintlock Fantasy. Doesn’t extend as commonly outside of books though
It’s not as slick looking but take a look at Ubooquity. I have it on my Linux server and haven’t had any issues. Granted I mostly use it for sharing ebook files, not reading them on the server itself so it might not be what you’re looking for
These are all on my list of cool things I tell people about Japan. It really is a bunch of small stuff that I found great.
Another small one - most grocery stores have a packing area past payment and there’s usually a little bottle with a light temporary glue next to the plastic bags. So the line moves faster and you never fumble opening the thin plastic bags
Proprietary software I use on a regular basis with no Linux alternative:
Revit, AutoCAD, Houdini, 3dsMAX, SolidWorks, Rhino, Grasshopper, Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop/InDesign (and/or their Affinity alternatives), CUDA optimized simulation and rendering plugins, etc.
I use at least one of these every day, almost none of them have any functioning compatibility with Wine or other emulation. Even just using Affinity has caused some issues with team projects when someone picks up where I left off and there’s no layer information and a ton of clipping groups instead.
If all you do with your computer is program, work with documents, use a web browser, and play video games sure go wild don’t use Windows on any of your machines. But I just don’t understand how some people in the FOSS community cannot fathom that there are entire professional workflows and industries that just have zero possibility of moving to Linux.
Do I like using Windows? No. But I do like being able to use all the programs my work and research requires.
I contribute actual, tangible research into FOSS CAD/CAM/BIM software development and implementation. I love it and want to see FOSS options grow and become widely adopted. But it just isn’t anywhere close to having feature parity. And that matters, just as much as industry interoperability matters.
I’m just so tired of this thought process in the community that the only reason someone isn’t using Linux/FOSS is because they’re some fanboy or something
The common standard for audiobooks isn’t FLAC or WAV, it’s chapter track MP3 or chapterized M4B. The vast majority of audiobooks are encoded at 64 or 128 kbps. I wish the minimum was 128kbps but that’s where the audiobooks community has been for like a decade now.
“I don’t like,” Tariq, 8, said of the series. “It creeps me out. Every time I go to the toilet, I just want to get it quick done.” Tariq, who lives in New York State and is known online as Corn Kid, said he was not familiar with the other terms.
Corn Kid’s got no rizz
IIRC only iOS has that because apple holds a patent on that specific implementation. Which sucks because on Gboard the space bar can be quite small and the timing between activating the cursor scroll and opening the language menu seems like 0.15 seconds
Which Mac are you running on? I haven’t gone through the game porting kit setup yet because it seemed like a real pain in the ass and I want confident the performance would be worth it in the end on my m2pro
Socialism is when I buy chip and workers steal them all and I get no chip 😢
Alt: any laborer born after 1983 can’t work. All they want is eat my chip, watch my cable, and lie
I have used Foxit/Phantom both personally and professionally for years now with no complaints
My pixel 7 Pro’s vector motion sensor is broken. How the hell does that even happen? I’ve never even heard of it and there’s like nothing online about it.
I can’t do anything that requires tracking how the phone is moved- no compass calibration, no Map’s guidance arrow, etc.
