@[email protected] I second Bitflip's comment.

F-droid repos are amazing and a must-have, but the default F-droid front-end is not the most user-friendly.

I have been very happy with the Droidify front-end, as have other F-droid users to whom I recommended it.

You can get Droidify using F-Droid, of course.

PPSSPP: I initially installed it because my PSP Go was failing and corrupting my save files.

Dumping all the PSP files onto a pc and loading one save with PPSSPP, fixed all the saves. Then I put them back on the PSP to continue my Gran Turismo career while commuting on the train.

It was mind-boggling to me that the emulator could fix the original console. Of course, it also does all kinds of upscaling, double framerate, etc.

After this happened twice though, I replaced the PSP with a Steam Deck. Sadly, the large stick on the Deck has caused me some trouble with controlling the higher end cars. PSP has no analog triggers, so all the finesse is in the flick of the ministick. I should load up GT4 (PS2) on the Deck soon. And MGS 1 through 3. Am very happy playing GRID (2008) and Death Stranding for now though.

Les cars de longue distance sont dans quelques pays même plus environnementale que les TGV, n'ont pas besoin d'infrastructure specifique, et sont le mode de transport le plus economique, permettant chacun de faire des voyages en Europe.

Mais parce qu'ils n'ont pas le niveau de comfort que Mr. Gregoire aimerait, il ose de les appeler "pas dignés".

Je ne suis pas francais, donc excusez moi pour la langue. "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche". Il y a pas l'espace dans les trains, c'est la realite economique.

Check CompassRed's comment above.

The definition part of the wikipedia article has a table with these "nice relationships for addition and scaling". You will see that they also hold for many kinds of functions, such as polynomials and other more abstract things than points and directions in 2D or 3D. N-dimensional vectors for example, or using complex numbers, or both.

Ah yeah that looks perfect, just get WayBlue Hyprland then! That sounds like exactly what you need.

No need to mess about with user services in systemd and display manager config.

NixOS

Alternatively (speculating here), you might be able to use Nix to install Hyprland onto an existing immutable distro like Silverblue.

Nix people please chime in!

Good point. I guess you're right, there are no flattering roles. But each of those options you list would have been less on top of existing prejudices.

Making her the (non-technical) project manager whose only contribution is "how many story points is that?", who's then silenced because "this is important!", confirms the typical prejudices about women in tech:

  • no technical expertise
  • is not in charge
  • does not have anything to say that is worth listening to in times of crisis

Especially being talked over. This matches many women's experiences in men-dominated environments to a T.

I'd much rather the technically competent, important but socially weird engineer (Jared) be the woman, or the incompetent boss, who's in charge and calls the shots. Even having no women in the skit would be better than this Cindy role.

Or, weird idea I know, multiple people with different roles being women. 🙄

I understand your frustrations and I hope you can find people who (100% honest) are more mature than that, and have a happier and more positive attitude.

This whole "I am so mature" alleged superiority vibe stinks of teenage insecurity. You can do better than that.

We all get frustrated with scrum at times, but not all of us use TTS to make a casually sexist skit about it.

It's a cool story, but the article is a bit messy.

Took me a while to understand what happened around 1990 and what happened recently.

I was also surprised to learn that El País employs time travellers:

In addition, the protected area contains the old Stramba amber mine, known as one of the most productive during the first half of the 21st century, but which was closed down by the communist regime as it was considered unprofitable.
