What awful syntax?

Ffs bash uses echo "${filename%.*}" and substring=${string:0:5} and lower="${var,,}" and title="${var^}" &c. It doesn’t use $ for assignment, only in expressions.

That’s fine if your bank provides tap-to-pay plastic, but not all do, so you end up more vulnerable to skimmers.

Each contactless payment generates a transaction-specific, one-time code, that is extremely effective in reducing counterfeit fraud.

Naming pets after food always seems like incredibly poor taste to me.

That kind of thing happens surprisingly often.

I just used Handbrake, but there has been one or two discs that it couldn’t see, presumably due to some overly aggressive protection.

It has been a while, so maybe I’m wrong, but this is technically an inverse correlation, right?

It depends, up to four works for some apps depending on monitor size, but otherwise I do the same thing as @[email protected].

Overlapping window managers, the most common type in use by far, just seem crazy to me. Windows almost never use the available monitor space, and they have to constantly be wrangled around each other so that… you can drag something instead of using the clipboard, I guess?

You don’t usually have them all open at the same time, you minimize some. Or maybe you add more monitors.

Talk is cheap. They may say anything to buy time as they make deals between the EU, Canada, and Japan that exclude the US.

Functionally, it’s the default because links do open in it, but why isn’t it able to tell that it’s already set?

No, I wouldn’t. It’s how I can tell if the setting actually took!

Maybe you checked “stop asking”?

Well that’s frustrating. I may need to check that again.

They always seem to have some critical limitation. Handbrake is too slow via flatpak to work. Flatpak Zoom had no camera access. Flatpak-only Zen browser can’t use passkeys. Zen browser asks to be my default browser every time I open it, even though it is and I always say yes; is this a flatpak limitation? I don’t know, and I’d prefer not to have to figure it out just for some theoretical benefits and more overhead.
