boy, its amazing how far just "telling someone they did a good job" goes.

@Viss Meanwhile Germans be like “If nobody complains, it means you did a good job.”

@mcc You could try to disable the touch functionality via udev like this https://www.projectgus.com/2014/09/blacklisting-a-single-usb-device-from-linux/ Or maybe there’s a toggle in the gnome settings app?

schrotthaufen,
@schrotthaufen@mastodon.social avatar

@mcc Unless there’s a FN-key to toggle the touch input, and it actually works with gnome, I suppose my only other idea is to check if chmod -x $PathToTouchKeyboardApp works, and if it does, map a hotkey to call a script to toggle the executable bit. That’s a long shot, though. (Might need a sudoers rule with NOPASSWD)

i think i need a cane

i have trouble standing for more than 10-15 minutes, even that is difficult

@whitequark It seems that you can legally buy (not use though) a sword cane in the UK, if it’s at least 100 years old. Do with this information what you want.

I see I can get cmake to tell me which generator it currently has as default by running cmake -G or cmake --help. However, it does this as part of a long informational spew.

Imagine I would like to run CMake (E.G., in a script) and have it print only the name of the selected generator, nothing else. Is this possible?

@mcc grep can use regex (not sure if that’s some gnu thing), and has an option to select only the matching part of a line.

For the last two years I've been semi-daily posting "What I'm Listening to Today" links here. Mastodon has some problems with threads containing hundreds of posts, so I re-create the thread once a year.

If you'd like to see, here's my "year two" thread: https://mastodon.social/@mcc/110266770603341546

Or, alternately, every song from year two in the least practical format possible: A 301-song, 38-hour YouTube playlist (note: video #1 contains flashing):

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLIjft6ja7DM_kacOW8zo2vtr-aWpTNX6

And here's the thread for "year three":

    so germany just did the google aurora thing and bailed on windows entirely, went libreoffice.

    pretty bold move - very curious to see how they cope

    schrotthaufen,
    @schrotthaufen@mastodon.social avatar

    @Viss It’s not all of Germany. It’s the government of Schleswig-Holstein (approx. 30k endpoints). They want to ditch Windows as well, but phase 1 is just switching to libreoffice on Windows.

    @peter_mcmahan @shippychaos @aud It’s, without exaggeration, why I dislike both BotW, and TotK. Didn’t manage more than maybe 4h in each, because the weapon break mechanic is stressing me out too much.

    As part of their aggressive attempt to get people to replace their old headsets, Facebook's Quest 1 headsets, released in 2019, will be barred from purchasing any app on the Quest store released after April 30, even if that app would have supported the Quest 1 when sideloaded.

    The aggressive deprecation schedule really makes me baffled why anyone would trust Facebook with their money here. This is a novelty/nice-to-have device, not something you upgrade every 2 years.
