A custom EFI app? Is that like a handrolled Unified Kernel Image with some Proxmox-specific addons in it? How'd you make it?

ooh I should do that for Obsidian instead of having an enormous directory of Pasted Image 202302050124300845012.pngs. =◡=

Triangulating your location. Are you... in the Milky Way Galaxy?

(Thanks for reminding me to limit accumulator charge)

The main idea is:

  1. Use Window Titler to add a title. For me, if I want it on workspace 7, I title the window "7". (NOTE: The title will probably appear like [title], see below)
  2. Make a script that queries the window manager, and then dispatches a movement to the appropriate workspace. In Hyprland that might be hyprctl -j which gives
... json blahblah
"title": "[7] What's a unique customization on your Linux machine you think no one else has? - tchncs — Mozilla Firefox"
... json blahblah

but in Sway it might be something similar to using swaymsg. Only titled windows will have the bracket number thing so just regex that part

  1. Put it in autostart. Because Firefox takes a while to load on my junk machine I sleep for like 30 seconds to a minute before all the titles register.

Awesome...

Care to share the video/code? ~~I actually have something similar (Corsair Scimitar's macro customizer doesn't work on Linux~~

As I was writing this I found a project that deals with Corsair MMO mice on Linux so now I will be going on an egg hunt.

Me when I picked immortal but my opponent spawned a tsunami that sent me to the kabillion PSI ocean floor (I am doomed)

I think it's closer to Level 2 Priest compared to Yahweh.

But then how many abilities will end up crummy for balancing purposes? It's like "pick a sword, bow, or gun to defend yourself", but you don't have the strength for a European longbow and your pirate-era flintlock has enough spread to hit the neighbor's dog.

What if teleportation is 2 inches, or flight is 3 feet? What if invisibility means light goes straight through your corneas and you end up blind? What if immortal just means only your brain will survive??

Nevermind

Teleportation, invulnerability, siphon abilities.

And then I teleport to everyone in the thread.

Unless someone has teleportation, intellect, and siphon abilities. Then they might outwit me and find someone invulnerable before I do. But I might find someone intellectual before they do. And then it becomes a race.

Comic adaptation when?

That time I got 3 superpowers from a Lemmy post, but so did everyone else? Yuusha no Skill Siphon

Just wondering since I know a lot of people quietly use a screen-area-select -> tesseract OCR -> clipboard shortcut.

  • I separate subjects of interest into different Firefox windows, in different workspaces -- so I have an extension title them and a startup script parse text to ask the compositor to put them in the correct workspace (lets me restart more conveniently).
  • I have automatically-set different-orientation wallpapers for using my 2-in-1 depending on whether I use it in portrait or landscape (kind of just for looks, but I don't think if anyone else adds a wallpaper change to their screen rotation keybind).

LOL yeah that's a nice thing to put in the company search history

I dotted up my dwm install?

Its kind of verbable :p

I'd learned about this last week, and this stuff is a bunch of Wikipedia searches so forgive me if I miss anything :]

Similar to git master and whitelist/blacklist having addressed racist origins, I've just learned that "ricing" -- i.e. way-far-from-default, colorfully souped-up *nix customizations -- came from a derogatory word for Asian "riced out" cars.

(click to enlarge spot where I came to learn about this)


Example in the lemmy.ml/c/linux community.

The linked Wikipedia article doesn't list *nix ricing specifically, but it's probably not a far reach -- for example, tech's master-slave came from cars too.


Now I'm not here to start a debate on whether the term itself is bad. The arguments are done to death and predictable (old thread~hope~ ~I~ ~can~ ~link~ ~here~). Rather, I posit that we could probably invent a new term if we forced it hard enough.

For example, 4chan forcibly invented the use of the ok hand for "white power", as a collective prank (Wikipedia).

Further, Tumblr invented 'then beg' as an insult response to 'I beg your pardon/to differ'. (click to enlarge)

Based on Pukicho.

So why can't Lemmy invent something too?

Here are some earlier takes. (click to enlarge for source, but they are listed below anyway)

I surmise it has to be (1) somewhat unique and (2) short and nounable/verbable.

  • Customization doesn't fit -- it's too broad. Changing the wallpaper is a customization -- diagonalizing your screen is a rice (term to be replaced...).
  • Bespoke doesn't fit either. That's for a duct-tape script you hack together.
  • Pimping out... is not a good alternative. It preexists^(citation^ ^needed?)^ and has inertia but it's not any better.
  • Souping up... doesn't roll off the tongue so much. But it's food-related (and thus not far from "rice"). Though I can't see myself saying "Yo, check out this epic soup."

Brainstorming welcome :P

 

Nominative predeterminism?
