xrandr. afaik, there's no (standard) way to set display resolution from the command line in wayland. also, there's no equivalent of xkill, so in order to kill an unresponsive gui app, you have to grep for its pid in ps
, which can get a bit tedious and annoying, especially for programs which spawn multiple processes.

Hanlon's razor. I myself had no idea that 88 had any nazi-related meaning before I read this article and thought nothing of the title when I first heard it. It seems perfectly reasonable that the dev could have done the same, especially since they were willing to almost immediately change the name and remove all existing promotional material once they found out.

I checked against a tone generator, and realized that the lower frequency was actually 120, not 60, so I'd guess you're probably hearing that. That puts the higher frequency at 212-214, which I also checked and that range matches what I'm hearing (for 100hz, it should be at around 177-180).
Something that I've noticed across most of the microwave ovens that I've used is that when they hum while cooking food, I can pick out 2 distinct tones. One of them is pretty clearly ~~60~~ 120 hz, the 2nd harmonic of the AC power frequency. The other is consistently a minor 7th above that (which would be somewhere around ~~106-108~~ 212-214 hz depending on the exact ratio). What causes this 2nd frequency to be produced? Edit: after checking against a tone generator, the low frequency is actually 120 hz, double the grid frequency. The question is still the same, just an octave higher.

idk, maybe C# just doesn't have great syntax for the way you're doing it or something, but I think the simplest solution is the most readable in this case:
for (int i = 1; i < JUST_THE_WORST_NUMBER; i += 2) {
Console.WriteLine(i);
}

I don't see why not. 5 digits isn't too bad, and the issue wouldn't come up again for another 90,000 years after that. Besides, we'll probably extinct ourselves through climate change, nuclear war, and/or AI long before then anyways.

I do. Back on reddit, the rate of new content was enough that hot was effectively new with a quality filter. Around the end of June, when reddit pulled the api shit and people were just starting to jump ship, lemmy was a lot smaller and had less content. So if you sorted by active or hot, you would always end up seeing the same 2-year-old posts at the top every time. I set my default sort to new so that I would actually see different posts.

if vanilla wine doesn't work, you might want to try adding it to steam as a non-steam game and running it with proton. it's no guarantee, but i've found that proton sometimes works better for some programs that don't work properly with wine.

Unfortunately, until and unless peertube can pay creators (so basically never), it will only ever see use by foss enthusiasts, and even then only hobbyists will use it as their primary platform. For someone making a career out of it, youtube is pretty much the only real option at the moment.

first they had machine code
then they wrote the assembler in machine code
then they rewrote the assembler in assembly
and assembled it with the machine code assembler
then they wrote the C compiler in assembly
and assembled it with the assembly assembler
then they rewrote the C compiler in C
and compiled it with the assembly C compiler
then they had the C compiler
and everything else was written in C
(note: this is a massive oversimplification and ignores much of the history of programming languages, but it at least gets across the idea of how bootstrapping is done)

Signal doesn't trust messages server side.
What does this have to do with their ability to support reproducible builds?
