@w7voa I'm a bit surprised, but I'm not an expert and haven't yet turned my amateur eyes at the study results. My experience says the health risks are low-ish, but probably worse than alcohol dosed to drunkenness.
I learned something new while reporting on Fire TV's 10-year anniversary: HDMI CEC allows Amazon (or any other streaming stick manufacturer, for that matter) to learn what kind of TV you have. https://www.lowpass.cc/p/fire-tv-ai-search-llm-imdb-amazon
@jank0 I don't use a fire tv stick, but rather a google chromecast, that is connected to a so-called smart TV (Samsung). Same stuff, different abuser(s) though. Google gets to access my CEC and Samsung knows the software on the TV is crap.
Anyone have some experience (good or bad) with htmx? Feels a bit like Tailwind-jQuery (for better or worse), but would love to hear some personal experience.
@rain Q: You playing on Linux + Steam or something else? I have several games in my library that I don't play because they just aren't fun for me using keyboard+mouse. And, my Switch "Pro" controller has drift (or something wrong that give spurious directional inputs = death in my R-Type Final 2 games)
Alright. Another #linux question. For a hard drive that doesn't have system files and it is used mostly for saving multimedia content, what would be the best file system so it can be read and written by Linux and Windows in a clean manner?
@berniethewordsmith I have used both exFAT and NTFS for this. At the time exFAT was better if both sides needed.to access it read-write, while NTFS was "better" if Linux only needed to read it.
But, it has been a few years since I needed to do that, so my experience might not reflect current tech.
hey #linux users on the fediverse, is there a way to tile windows on KDE Plasma 6? I've seen some stuff about Bismuth but it doesn't look like it's functional anymore, is there anything similar?
@pixel If you figure it out, please edit your post so I get a notification (since I boosted).
I'm not on Plasma 6, yet, but I know the Plasma 5 that I am running already made it harder to use my tiling window manager (XMonad) -- and several things that used to work no longer do.
I dread having to use a non-tiling window manager again. (Though I also dread having to configure a different tiling window manager, and I know XMonad won't survive the Wayland migration.)
Given a random number generator that generates points uniformly in the unit interval [0,1] can you generate uniformly distributed points in the unit circle using only algebraic functions? In a finite number of steps - so no rejection sampling, loops, recursion. No "almost always" finite either.
Just wondering about sitiations where it seems you can't avoid trig functions.
@dpiponihttps://stats.stackexchange.com/a/406914 is old enough that it's probably not cursed by generative "AI". I think it gives a solution "just" using squares, roots, and arithmetic. But, I don't really understand it -- I've forgotten too much maths, if I ever understood uniform sampling -- so it might be sneaking in something non-algebraic.
@Mrfunkedude@_ I don't believe the toots/replies were directed at me, but they certainly discouraged telling people to use free software in general and Linux in particular.
Don't recommend Linux when people are complaining about MS Recall. Don't talk about Krita when people bemoan the cost of Adobe software. Etc.
I'm honestly never sure when people want a reply at all. I've certainly been accused of being a "reply guy" and I don't want to upset people with that behavior.
