You’re probably looking for these 2

I suspect those may depend on choosing a particular response to some of the previous questions

CPUs are also somewhat choked. I had to use throttled to make mine run above 2.4 GHz under load. (You need HWP_MODE and possibly Disable_BDPROCHOT, if anyone’s interested).

But other than that, waaaay better compared to …70 laptops, and some models seem to beat maxed out t440p-s. Also quicksync massively speeds up video decoding/encoding, so I’m overall happy with mine so far.

Phew, count me relieved. The keyboard on that clone was pretty linear as far as I can remember with no variation in force applied whatsoever

Well, the link doesn’t load for me, so if that’s smth related to python and not a justification of the behavior from math’s pov, I know that’s expected. Hence,

because of the order of operations

But just as well is “1” + 2.

Yeah, very well may be. LSPs always slow down opening big files, so I usually inspect those with an empty/different config

And how’s that different from js’s "1" + 2? One can always convert a number to string, and only sometimes – a string to a number, so it’s pretty logical to go with the former.

4.2 megs on one line? Vim probably can handle it fine, although syntax won’t be highlighted past a certain point

Well, C has implicit casts, and it’s not that weird (although results in some interesting bugs in certain circumstances). Python is also funny from time to time, albeit due to different reasons (e.g. -5**2 is apparently -25 because of the order of operations)

I used to select piped instances via libretube (mobile Firefox lets you install non-approved extensions by making your own collection and choosing that in the browser). Basically I’d go to the extension’s settings page, ping the available instances and choose some of the fastest ones. Although, it’s not at all convenient.

I mean, they said they don’t like flatpak explicitly, and appimage is kinda the same thing but bulkier, standalone nix is similar as well except the lack of sandboxing stuff, and spinning another distro in a container seems overkill-ish. Idk, honestly, mb they prefer the windows way of downloading random installers from the web or that clusterslackery of placing stuff in /opt by hand

Oops, my bad

If you’re on arch/nixos, that’s fine since stuff you may need is most likely in the repos already. If you’re on Debian/Ubuntu derivatives, good luck with 100500 ppa-s

• Newpipe doesn’t let you leave comments (which was the reason I personally switched to it – I used to spend too much time commenting like half of the stuff I watched, and I watched a lot) or login with a Google account;
• newpipe doesn’t have sponsorblock (which is currently solved by using tubular; note that it may or may not become abandoned like previous attempts by other ppl);
• newpipe lets you download video/audio (although, admittedly, having yt-dlp in termux is still more than handy for bulk downloads);
• newpipe has better (imo) background playback: you can either play or enqueue both videos and playlists (note: I haven’t used yt app for a while, so mb it also can do similar stuff)
• newpipe doesn’t need play services whatsoever;
• newpipe’s ui takes some time to get used to (imo)

Is it stable now? I’ve used it for a while last year, and the experience wasn’t exactly pleasant. On the good side, they had lots of useful features like properly rendering comments with replies and stuff, sponsorblock and channel tabs, but it used to crash a lot for any reason. May try it out again, although newpipe (or, more precisely, tubular, which is yet another attempt at sponsorblock which is still alive) kinda has everything I personally need currently.

Bypassing parental control is a great learning opportunity, tho :D

Kinda follows from the description on their website:

You should use KDE neon if you are an adventurous KDE enthusiast who wants the latest and greatest from the KDE community as soon as it’s available, with no delays, opinionated patches, or UX changes.

Although, yap, I may’ve put it a bit too harshly, and the same may be applicable to using KDE on many rolling release distros.

To be fair, the only problem I had while using it (except for the usual need to add a ppa to install literally anything) was exactly the same I encountered on arch: sddm just died after some updates and refused to start. What made it worse, however, was that they decided it was a great idea to configure the same keyboard layouts both for the graphical session and tty, so I couldn’tc even login to fix it :/

Well, you might’ve entered the password incorrectly a few times, and then faiilock faillocked the account. Can be fixed by going to another tty (e.g. Ctrl+alt+f3), logging in as root and faillock --reset --user your_username_here. If that doesn’t help, that’s probably neon’s issue (mb they messed up pam stuff or something).

On a side note, KDE neon is not exactly stable for daily driving, I’d suggest switching to another distro that’s not meant for testing recent KDE stuff

Idk, I probably haven’t used Debian derivatives long enough, but isn’t installing random .deb-s somewhat of a bad practice? I mean, repos exist for a reason (ignoring the fact they usually have like 3 packages in the official repos)

Regarding the title: as in just make?
