Maybe you could go to:

Settings > Developer Settings > Personal Access Tokens > Tokens (Classic)

And then create a new token there.

Then you should be able to clone a private repo as long as you have git installed.

When you git clone your private repo, git will ask for your username, enter that. Then it’s gonna ask for your password. Don’t enter your GitHub password. Enter your token.

Clone should work.

Ah, right. Thank you for your service. 🫡

It’s been pretty painless to switch to https://www.waterfox.net/ on desktop. There’s also a Waterfox app for Android.

Seedboxes?

yay simplifies the AUR installation

Simple to me means not having to install some random extra tool and just using pacman like normal. That’s why I grumble.

I like package managers just fine. I don’t want to have to have a plurality of software management tools.

Same. I grumble when I have to install things through the AUR. I’d prefer if it was in the official repos.

can continue to blissfully ignore

That’s what I’ve been doing. I haven’t run into a situation where I’ve needed to mess with Flatpak. 🤷 Curious to hear other folk’s experiences though.

Also for your consideration, Flatpak seems to be mainly used for desktop GUI apps. You’ll still need your regular package manager to install CLIs. So… if you wanna keep your software management tools to a minimum…

TIL about user lingering. Interesting.

Apparently, Floorp is another Firefox fork. Has anyone tried this?

OK! You’ve had 1 hour to check them out. :D What’s the difference between the two? They’re both Firefox forks, right?

the keyboard failed multiple times, as well as one of the fans and eventually one thunderbolt port

Aw, dang. That sucks.

I’m typing this on a 2020 9310 and fortunately it’s been pretty solid for me. Everything still works great. If anything, the palm rests are a little worn now, but that’s about it. I also have an older XPS 9370 from 2018 that I keep as a spare and that’s still working fine as well.

I haven’t had to open up this laptop yet, but good to know there are service manuals. Thanks!

put up a fight against management 3 layers above me

Eh, yeah. I’ve been in that kind of situation before. Sucks.

Still, you should try to go rogue where you can. Not for the company, fuck the company, do it to protect yourself. Like, maybe you could create your own git repo and push the changes there yourself. Don’t tell anyone else, just do it privately. You don’t need to use GitHub, you could push to a local folder on your computer or a USB drive.

Usually projects (especially large projects) are kept in a version control system like git. This is a prime reason why. With version control, it wouldn’t have mattered if you deleted the docker compose file, you could just bring it back. Also, usually every change has to go through version control, this way you always have a backup of the latest version of the file.

Yeah! It’s been great for me. No detection issues or weird bugs. The mobile and TV apps are also great!

My top pick for a Linux laptop would be the Dell XPS 13 9310. It’s old I guess, from 2020. But the build quality and Linux support is excellent. You could get a used one from eBay for around 400USD.

Alternatively, maybe you could look for a used Thinkpad X1 Carbon. I’ve purchased several of those in the past and have had really good experiences with them. The hardware is great and the software support is excellent.

I would avoid Framework. I actually just switched back to the Dell XPS 13 9310 after a year of using the Framework. Linux support on the Framework is just not as good as some other laptops. The biggest con of Framework is the HiDPI display. You will never get the display to look good. You’ll have to do a ton of tweaking and debugging—and you’ll still have some apps that are blurry or have weirdly sized icons or text. See: https://lemmy.today/post/22761155/13770242

Lol! Not sure what message you got, but if it’s anything like mine, let’s test this.

Post the message you got in your company’s general Slack channel.

If you get fired, it’s a hate message. Else, it’s spam.

Not for Lidarr, but I’ve had good luck finding music I like Soulseek.

Ah, ok. I was barking up the wrong tree.

I tried a random Writefreely instance and it was extremely barebones and had poor markdown styling. It gave me the impression that Writefreely is more for publishing short stories, rather than technical content.

(Is that the point of Writefreely?)

I’ve been using LibreOffice more these days for writing, slides, and spreadsheets. I can’t remember now the last time I used a Google app for this.

I might be having this issue. When I update an item the UI doesn’t get updated. However, if I refresh the UI by searching for something else, then go back to my updated item, I see the new values.

It’s really annoying.

I installed via pacman.
