you have to be more specific lol

just tesselate the world with hexagons and say you’re in a specific one? that doesn’t give precise proximity but does expose your general area.

this does the opposite, doesn’t expose your general area but let’s you determine if it is close to some other location via an expensive comparison. the precision of proximity isn’t tied to how precise a location/small a hexagon you’re exposing

as per the first paragraph of the intro of the linked paper, it’s safer to store this than it is an actual location. if data gets leaked it’s like leaking a hashed password instead of a plaintext one. their example is device trackers.

no, it’s still a smoother experience ootb for things like c# desktop apps. in vscode you don’t get a wysiwig wpf designer and such, and xaml completion is worse to non existent.

It does seem to be a newer dev thing though, myself and my jr devs use vscode as much as we can and jump back to VS only when necessary, the older devs on my team are all 100% visual studio and will be forever

no

pinecil can be battery powered too and I’ve had a good time with mine. granted the battery is either a laptop power bank or a drill battery, but it’s still portable enough for me

I feel like I had a problem socially starting jr high without a phone at all in late 00s. All your friends communicate/plan/etc over phones so not having one you’re missing out on all of that.

Smartphone is debatable, but I feel like 6/7th grade kinda needs a phone of some sort in current society

it’s tied to packagekit, so tumbleweed should work ootb. opensuse’s immutable distro is less likely to be possible though, as well as anything else like that

yeah but I’m not going to be able to make a Bambu printer in the US since it is a product produced by a Chinese company. A Voron is different since I can source parts from US based companies and put it together myself in the US.

a voron is american made depending on where you make it

idk if it would be manual, isn’t the point of ab root to rollback if it doesn’t properly boot afterwards?

tailscale also just has a button to buy/enable mullvad as an exit node. if you’re just looking for a commercial vpn for privacy it works well.

idk, I’m 6’6 and I despise having to drive full size pickups and SUVs. they’re made for short people to feel tall. A decent proportion I can’t even see street lights in lol.

The cars that have been good for me have been weird, like my s10 fits me better than any full size truck, outbacks and other cuv aren’t bad either, especially newer ones. I’ve heard there are sedans that are better fit for taller/bigger people, but I haven’t looked much there

is there compositor support? is there a way to get kde to rotate my monitor to a specific degree via cli?

keep in mind I have no idea if there are real use cases for diagonal monitors, I just duct taped an accelerometer to the back of my monitor and can only get it to rotate in 90 degree increments with kscreendoctor and thought it would be funny if the picture was just always upright

wayland doesn’t support diagonal monitors

not sure for what purpose you want a tablet, but I had a fujitsu 2 in 1 in college that was pretty solid for linux support. no problems with pen drivers or anything. the screen swiveled around and it folded down into a tablet. it was pretty bulky compared to an android tablet or similar, but it worked well for taking noes and had a full keyboard when I wanted it

one more for using nix, but for language tooling I generally prefer a nix shell and installing per project dependencies there. then updates don’t break random projects and you know all the dependencies of a given project

that gets rid of cec but everything else would still work. you really just have to plug your other devices into the TV directly instead of into the roku. the problem will be the tvs with roku integrated directly

yeah that works, it’s even the same interface. you just lose out on also making calls and voicemail from web
