Definitely! Win-Tab (properly called Meta-Tab) is used to switch activities in KDE Plasma. With this simple key combination, I gain another 15 virtual desktops.

You run it inside DOSBox on your Linux installation, simple!

“A foot” is simply not a thing outside of English-speaking world as far as measurements do. Even for the actual foot measurement, there are different shoe sizes.

Yes, in Ukraine we just say ‘thirty centimeters’, or ‘three hundred millimeters’ if you want to sound properly pedantic. We have shortcut words like ‘half-meter’, but ‘third-meter’ just sound weird and forced, you would just say ‘33 centimeters’. And decimeters is not used anywhere except for some technical slang like ‘decimeter antenna’, and even then they usually clarify the actual wavelength in centimeters. The centimeter is also easy to visualize, it’s the thickness of your finger.

Also, common calipers only measure up to 150 millimeters, and tape measure is usually 3 or 5 meters. There are not a whole lot of things that are foot-length, it’s usually either below 10 cm or above 1 meter, if you measure floor area or furniture.

Here’s a Super Mario first level theme, 10 hours mix. You are welcome.

You can install Linux on rooted phones using Linux Deploy, or you can install Linux-in-an-app such as Userland or Termux if you don’t have root.

Inside the building it’s the first floor, even if it’s exactly at the sea level altitude. Outside the building it’s the ground. Basement levels start at minus one, there is no zeroth floor.

Nab a crate loading robot from an Amazon warehouse, it can lift more and will have much less pricey maintenance.

If the walkway goes inside the building, then yes. And the walkway usually leads directly to the second floor, because the airplane door is 3 metres above the ground.

In the UK it’s called a ground table.

Extend C++ for safety

I stopped reading after this. Why do you think C++ is unsafe in the first place? Someone decided ro extend it, and now you cannot even read an error message without finishing an university course on lambda calculus first.

Back in the 80386 days there was one model of BIOS that would print ‘CPU not found’ if you had your CRT monitor and VGA videocard plugged in.

Your viruses installed themselves a Windows virtual machine to run properly?

Yet I still had an urge to explain an obvious thing. Because it’s C++, so everyhing goes. There are even tools to auto-generate C++ interfaces, because of course someone decided that C++ is inadequate and must be improved using some kind of poorly-documented ad-hoc extension language on top of C++.

I know at least three ways, one of them involves variadic macros.

You don’t even need to look that far, take any sufficiently aged library, like OpenGL.

It was a Linux joke, nevermind.

Is this systemd?

C++ is fiiiiine. Just use the modern variant of the language, don’t bother with hand-optimizing your memory allocators, and generally avoid anything involving pointer arithmetics. So, basically, use it like you would use Python.

I guess that phone would use eSim, so no slot is needed.

This needs some simple hardware trigger, that can be queried by bootloader, but specific wnough so it won’t trigger in your pocket. If buttons are unavailable, I can propose several idead:

• Cover the proximity sensor 10 times per second. Requires good motor skills.
• Shine separated red, green, and blue lasers into three of the phone cameras. You’ll need a box with three different-colored LEDs to cover cameras module.
• There is a low-speed data channel in wireless chargers. Just add the button to the charger instead of the phone.
• Put your phone at exactly 2.5G of acceleration. Accelerometer is easy to use even from the bootloader, however you will need to put your phone in a centrifuge and reboot it while it’s rotating.
• An option ‘Reboot into recovery’ in system settings, duh. Won’t help if your ROM fails to boot.

I’ve tried replacing .gif image with .mp4, now it simply does not show the thumbnail at all, but loads fine when you click the post title.
