One of the owners thinks one of the business partners that comes in their office might have bugged the office. They get lots of unattended time there, and they're a shady and bad person overall so it's probable.

Thank you for your thorough answer. The bad actors I worry about aren't the employers.

Same for Iran :)) We have no copyright so there are official platforms like netflix with all pirated movies and the national tv shows pirated movies constantly. Also, not a single person buys windows or office licenses here :))

MIT is a permissive license and it doesnt enforce anything.

if you want freedom, use strict licenses like GPL.

Gnu has a great guide on licenses

I think edn is almost the only more advanced and ergonomic option to json. Edn is like the evolved json, but its interesting that its roots are way older than JSON.

The fact that you can very efficiently define whole applications and software just with edn (and the lisp syntax in general) is what makes really amazing.

I think this blog post sheds more light on how we only need lisp for defining data and applications.

I honestly think it would be much cooler if linux used semantic versioning instead of random versioning, but Linus bumping majors just because he feels like it is also funny and cool.

If you're a GUI guy, catfish is good. If you're a term guy, fzf, rg, fd are very fast and powerful. I search for files in / (meaning EVERYTHING) and tge results are there in less than 10 seconds.

This blog post has some example usages, read the entries for fzf, rg and fd.

I always do it. Getting thrown into another website forces you to switch context entirely, and also is a privacy and security right of the user to know they are going to be moved somewhere else.

I dont know how these work, but why do they never use kiosk for these? They boot up a whole operating system with everything just to loop a video?

Movim is also an option. Based on XAMPP.

Well... I am a very hairy nerdy guy. What does the collaboration workflow look like? The end result should be simple because my teammates aren't hairy nerdy guys :))

Hi guys.

I have an android head unit for my car that only manages multimedia, navigation and stuff. it also has multiple physical buttons and knobs. It’s offbrand so can name the particular brand or model.

can I for example upgrade the OS?

 

Hi everybody. I have a rooted phone and I was thinking, If I can spin up something like Samsung DEX on my phone, alongside my android, that uses Linux, I can do 80% of my work just with my phone. Is that doable? Can someone provide me with more information?
