I learned a lot about pandas (a library built mostly on top of numpy) by going to stackoverflow and trying to answer questions with the tag. Hopefully the questions have a minimal reproducible example and are isolated to one specific question

There is a paint pigment that is available for sale but you have to confirm that you are not Anish Kapoor (another artist) and that you will let Kapoor get his hands on the pigment.

If youre up for it, you could stream off of your home desktop with Sunshine and use the laptop just as a light-weight client. Then the requirements for the laptop are a lot less and could potentially play even better games.

I played dota on my old laptop at a friends house while it actually streamed from my home desktop and it worked fine. I dont remember if you need a domain or static IP or anything like that, which may be a barrier. Or if upload speeds just wont allow it

I selfhost a forgejo instance, which is the underlying framework for codeberg (and they maintain forgejo).

Federation is in the works, they say.

If i was going to have any projects public, this is where i would do it.

The culture war is v stupid, yes. But “use signal” is the same as “dont text your friend with a different app at all” with signal dropping sms. They are in a different position that google and apple, so not saying i blame them for dropping, but i did stop using it once it become “another app” instead of how i text.

Does this app not do voicemail? I just got a voicemail and had to reset the standard google phone app as default to listen, then switch back to this one as default.

I imagine im missing something obvious here that i couls just search the web for, but i downloaded this app because of you all in the first place, so it is your collective responsibility to set it up for me as well.

I had this same question since seeing the post about the Fossify phone app. For phone, calendar, contacts, things like those, i dont see what value the official google apps have (other than syncing to your account, but i can manage that myself). For Messages from Google, tho, there is something they provide in the RCS, if only because they block others from implementing.

So, using Fossify Message, for example, sacrifices something of some actual value here…

Funny as hell

I disagree with his right-wing libertarianism, as many have said. I found him when i was getting into tech privacy stuff and watched it, then youtube started giving me more of the harder weirdos who were a little more fashy. I dont think Mental Outlaw is a facist, dont get me wrong - but the youtube algorithm may send you that direction.

I think his older stuff was better and just had more content in each video. More recent videos (last 6-12 months?) it seems like he’s got two news articles he reads but then he just goes on big tangents to fill space.
