10 million native Urdu speakers in Pakistan? there’s 11 million in Lahore alone and I’ve never met someone there who doesn’t speak Urdu

source on the 28 notch stick?

Just noticed in euclidean geometry, for any two line segments touching at a point there is exactly one triangle you can draw, i.e. a triangle is uniquely described by any two of its legs. In spherical geometry, there are two choices for the third leg!

Did you make this? I would get it printed lol

I love that these extensions exist and in theory they sound awesome. Unfortunately for a few reasons I’ve never been able to get in the habit of using Tridactyl (or any vim browser addon):

• it doesn’t play nice with Google drive apps (which my company uses extensively), so if I use the vim shortcuts to cycle between tabs and open a Google doc, the next time I try to cycle tabs it will instead start typing in the document. (Alternatively I would never be able to interact with Google docs without manually enabling ignore mode)

• hint mode works really well for some sites but a lot of sites have multiple anchors close together (eg one for an icon, one for text and one behind both) which leads to longer hints and difficulty figuring out which hint to actually use

• Firefox doesn’t allow you to rebund the default “/” search (quick find) cycle keys. The default is c-G for next (not sure about previous); I would like to use n/N

On simple and well-designed “dumb” webpages it works amazing. I wish more sites were designed that way, but unfortunately a lot are made with the assumption of a mouse/touchscreen :(

I used boba u4 silents on my custom keyboard. Absolutely love them. Wish they made a consumer-grade keyboard with them (or maybe they already do?) But I’ve been working on a MacBook recently and tbh the keyboard there is pretty good now. So next step for me is to build a low profile keyboard

On my colemak keyboard I put arrow keys on another layer under where hjkl are on qwerty. Beyond that, most of the keys are remembered by mnemonic rather than position imo

If this is about line endings, surely a simple shell or python script could correct them?

I’ve been using Sidebery with some userchrome to hide the top tabs, and it’s a workable solution, but far from ideal.

I also wish keybindings were configurable. For example, with the “/” search, ctrl-g/G to go to next/prev match is really weird

Why is the headline conflicting with the subtitle by a factor of 10?

Yeah exactly, Unity and Godot both use C# the same way React and Svelte both use JavaScript. Definitely some level of transferability, but honestly worth learning GDScript in my opinion because it’s a simple language and a pretty good fit for game scripting, and the one that gets first class attention from Godot.

I’ve been enjoying wezterm as a terminal emulator replacement for windows terminal. It offers nerdy fine grained customizability and an emoji/nerd font character picker. For most purposes WT seems to be fine though.

Any Linux distro should work for the setup you want. I have radarr, sonarr, sabnzbd, deluge and jellyfin running on an Arch setup, but something more accessible like Ubuntu or Debian should work fine (although I’m not familiar with whether the Pi4 can power those heavier distros). If you’re comfortable with the command line, it doesn’t matter much which distro you pick since you can install and configure all those apps over ssh.

As far as I know, Swahili is almost always written with the latin script.

I really love PowerPoint. I feel like the automatic snapping features and general polish allow me to make very pretty slides with a high level of control, and it feels way better to use than e.g. web-based alternatives. Admittedly, I haven’t tried a foss alternative in years.

I am not an AirVPN user, but you might want to look for whether AirVPN supports filtering traffic based on port numbers, and then you can set a fixed port in your torrent client which AirVPN will always route through the VPN (and allow other traffic such as DNS and HTTPS to go around it).

Some VPNs support app-based split tunneling (such as Mullvad), but it seems from a quick search that AirVPN doesn’t. But if it supports port based filters, you can accomplish the same thing.

I don’t write, but the Neorg project seems to be getting some attention from writers
