My job involves maintaining Linux servers so there are no problems with Linux as my desktop.

Currently Arch Linux as the desktop OS.

Years ago I used a voicemail to text service that worked like that— It was powered by human transcribers.

This poorly designed table on the AWS website appears to show that neither tier of their new AI agent "Q" offers "Peace of Mind".

Maybe the table was designed by AI, too? "PRICE", "FEATURES" and "PEACE OF MIND" are supposed to be understood as section headers, but the design doesn't work because they didn't also put "price" on its own row and they pointlessly used alternate-row background colors. They could have used background cell colors to communicate which rows were section headers.

There is way to do this that works with even older computers and is easy to manage.

That’s with Edubuntu and thin-client computing using the Linux Terminal Server project, LTSP.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdubuntuDocumentation/EdubuntuCookbook/Chapter_5_-_Thin-Client_Computing

In that model, you install Linux once on a server. Each computer in the lab is set to boot over the network from the server.

This way there is one computer to maintain, the users can’t access root and all the storage is centralized.

Even old computers with low CPU and RAM and no hard drive can make good thin clients.

A number of schools have been using this approach for 15+ years.

My town’s subreddit just started a policy to disallow links to X for similar reasons.

There is a movement to avoid the platform.

  4. Password manager prompts for master password and redirects back to social login
  5. Social login prompts for security key.
  6. Social login redirects back to identity broker.
  7. Identity broker redirects back to app.

Keyboards with custom firmware supports keycodes like XF86Copy and XF86Paste. These are great for having truly global copy/paste shortcuts that also work in apps like terminals where "Control-V" and "Control-C" aren't supported by default.

I advocated that these keycodes be supported in a web browser, Qutebrowser. The author of that project, Florian Bruhin liked the idea and submitted a patch upstream to the QT framework, which is used by many apps associated with the KDE Linux desktop. And about 5 years later, apps will be packaged with QT 6.10 that include the fix.

Here’s the change description.

This adds support for the Help, Open, Close, Save, New, Cut, Copy, Paste, Undo, Redo, Back, Forward, Refresh, ZoomIn, ZoomOut, Find, Settings, Exit, and Cancel keys to the default keyboard shortcuts.

The bug report:

It is reportedly plug-n-play for basic features, but for more advanced features, something like this project would need to be patched to add support for the camera.

In well-functioning teams, devs aren’t publicly shamed. We learn and move on.

The peer reviewer, who is often more senior, missed the issue too.

And if there was no peer review, then that’s a process issue, not a personal issue.
