Try to get some of the smaller younger “hands” of ginger if you can find them. They’re younger, less fibrous, and have a less intense flavor. You can just throw it in the freezer and grate it frozen straight into the pan. A microplane grater is best if you have one, but the box grater will do. Even a mandolin works.

Even by that “legal” standard, isn’t a contract signed under duress invalid? One side has guns and regularly took land by force and murder.

Probably more that they didn’t want too many eyes on the unredacted files in case there was a hero whistleblower

I had a similar situation with a slightly damaged screen. It was just the very top right corner of a laptop. I just created a square panel in XFCE and blocked off the corner with it so when I fullscreened a window it wouldn’t go into the corner.

Interestingly, depending on where the window is when I click fullscreen, it might fullscreen the “tall” way, or the “wide” way. I’m not sure what logic XFCE uses there but it’s pretty cool.

If you have something to say to me just say it to my face, coward.

Is there some technical reason why they can’t fix the AI hallucination problem by hooking into a traditional “knowledge engine”? Wolfram alpha has existed for a long time now. It lets you query a database of facts about the world, and even do math on those data. Why couldn’t AI just rephrase your question into a query for a beefed up version of that and then it would automatically show its work and use traditional computing which is actually good at math and logic instead of being a very confident “liar” which seems to be an unfixable problem with LLMs?

I know AI will buck using say, python, to do a calculation, claiming it doesn’t need to because it “knows” it’s right, but what if it could only respond to a question through something like wolfram alpha?

If they put just one of their billions into building out a hand curated knowledge engine it would be much more useful more quickly than their market competitors who are still trying to make an LLM do something technically impossible.

Is this a reference to one of their crashouts I missed? I stopped paying attention to them lol

I’m pretty sure GTK used to do exactly that, and for a while after they stopped supporting it there was a patched version of GTK that brought that functionality back.

I’m mainly salty about this because programs with forced CSDs make my tiling window manager look like shit, and getting away from them is becoming increasingly difficult.

That’s because they’re engineering their desktop for first time users who look first, then click. Having things visually “tidy” without too much “clutter” or anything that might make them feel overwhelmed is what they’re looking for. Being predictable, consistent, or able to learn by muscle memory is less important. If you’re measuring success based primarily on increasing number of users, onboarding is by far the most important aspect of design.

Seasoned users of a piece of software know exactly where the button/menu/tool they want is, and their needs are often directly contrary to a first time user’s needs. These users want the element they’re looking for to be accessible in as few actions and little thought as possible.

The ideal software that you would use day to day is able to be approachable, but holds your hand while you become a seasoned user. Menubars were ideal for this. Every function is laid out for new users to look through. You have spacial memory for where each function is organized. On MacOS and a couple linux desktop environments functions with a keyboard command associated would have that command displayed beside them (and you can even set one if one doesn’t exist, or change one that does), gently assisting you to use the program more easily. Several desktops also offer searchable menubars which is just another layer of convenience. Big shiny buttons for common functions and a hamburger menu are simply a step backward from the traditional menu bar. You’re only a new user of a piece of software once.

At best, GNOME, the party in control of GTK and design for a huge swath of software, refuse to play ball and cooperate with the rest of the linux/FLOSS desktop ecosystem. At worst they want to throw out all the literature about muscle memory, predictability, and familiarity in UI design and impose their frankly annoying Fisher-Price design on everyone else while calling you an out of touch elitist for resisting this.

No one ever thinks about the guy who has a super hot girlfriend who goes to another school, but has to lie that he doesn’t have a girlfriend because he knows no one would believe him.

I just hate how the CSDs keep moving the title buttons around depending on how wide the header bar is. I want my buttons in the exact same place and order no matter what. If I have to think about how to minimize/maximize/close a window for a tenth of a second it’s too long.

They also regularly take away very useful menubars and that’s even worse in my opinion.

A lot of people don’t even seem to realize that every computer is a general purpose computer, that includes the phone in your pocket. 90% of the reason an actual computer is as powerful of a tool as it is when compared to a phone comes from the difference between the software each runs. Mobile OSes treat the user with contempt. It doesn’t have to be this way. I’m seriously wishing for a pocket computer that would make traditional desktop environments usable in that form factor, because I don’t see mobile interfaces being actually useful any time soon.

Me too, but prepare to spend your life being called an out of touch boomer by all the kiddos who have never known what it means to actually own something.

Look like a couple of men with ven.

That’s awesome actually

You can still share your data with others! How about burning dvds or filling up thumb drives or external HDDs for all your friends and family? Maybe have them bring their phones and/or laptops over and load them up directly. That would be in the spirit of sharing.

People who act demonic really do start to show it on their faces over the years. I think it’s deeper than the plastic surgery.

We should implement this, and if you select it you only get the latest cocomelon videos in your feed.

Basically a flatbread taco is it not?
