@itsfoss you can set up system of backups so when you mess something, you can rollback in a few minutes instead of an hour or so (looking at you, M$) and mess it up again.

@nixCraft "need to solve this? Yeah, I don't use it. File a ticket and I will escalate it."

@nixCraft Veronica Explains had (or maybe still has) hard time here just thanks to not talking about Ventoy in her YT video. I think her toots about this can be still found...

@itsfoss POV: you put your watermark on snippet of Marvel movie 😂

@mntmn I run ploopy Trackball, they have mouse model as well. But I had chance to peek into QMK config and it should be fairly easy to repurpose for example RP2040 into a custom mouse 🙂

@mntmn this it the reason why I'm getting rid of closed-source peripherals and am replacing them with QMK compatible stuff...

@nixCraft Well, I've been told that yes, but even boss does not respect it. So I guess right answer is no 😄

@nixCraft first of all: what is starting me to want to switch in a first place?

@itsfoss No. Honestly after Winamp owners dancing around with claims about "opening the source code" but not specifying license of the code and never directly stating it will be open source...
Well, smells shady to me and for Linux, my main battlestation makes most out of tui or suckless stuff and phone aims to Gnome.

@mntmn I think first time I saw something like that on Pebble watch back then. If I remember correctly it was LCD with transreflective layers behind and state memory for saving battery life.

@nixCraft suuuuure. Mediocre computer game is able realtime change sound of characters voice but most powerful AI lab has to stop it completely instead of tweaking it.
Sam probably also never heard of phrasing and other parameters of speech 🤔

@nixCraft this is one of the reasons I prefer to use manpages and other documentation. After that I try to crawl project wiki and then random small blogs/git repos in search.
Only after every single option above failed I admit my defeat and turn to reading old Reddit posts (like typically 3-10yrs old threads).

Also weird results is why I don't use Google for years more than once after fresh browser install before I remember to change it to sth else 😅

@itsfoss when I did reinstall my school laptop mid-class instead of listening and that MF rebooted itself 5 times in a row with very loud "beeeeeep" 😅

@mntmn bonus: public transport in my city uses Mercedes. Probably much more expensive than those influencers flex with 🤙

@itsfoss small tip: instead of "sudo nano /etc/nixos/configuration.nix" you can use "sudo nixos-rebuild edit"

@itsfoss Thanks! Very usefull 😂

@nixCraft I really don't feel this is bigger downgrade than ditching replaceable battery.
My girlfriend's phone lacks jack so we purchased USB-C to jack for connecting to a car radio and we both use it as it firmly holds on cable and both our phones are able to pass sound through USB-C

@itsfoss "Look, it's not that hard to hack your Farm animals book and install Gentoo on it!"

@mntmn what CPU variant are you using on your machine?
I have experience only with my PBPro and games are like... It works, but not good enough to enjoy them. Only so so good performance was gzdoom (or similar) with occasional fps drops
