Although, If I have my own Amazon referral link in my blog post and they replace the referral code in their feed, I would not be happy about that.

They could be injecting their own ads or affiliate links into the content.

For example, if a post links to Amazon.

I have not looked at the source code.

I ended my Zellij eval when I ran into this dangerous bug when Sync and Fullscreen are combined.

It potentially sends commands to a server in a hidden window you can’t see.

Tmux doesn’t have this problem.

Interesting research project but it’s not Linux and doesn’t natively run Linux apps.

The story hypes this to be a bit more than this is.

Framework sent a laptop to the lead Mint dev. He’s going to try make sure it works well with Mint, but it already does.

The more low key framing straight on the Mint blog is here:

Date pickers that assume you have a 5 digit birth year.

 

It is reportedly plug-n-play for basic features, but for more advanced features, something like this project would need to be patched to add support for the camera.

WhatsApp is a Meta business unit, yes.

And it has its own rules and policies for what is shared with other Meta business units.

Google has spell out the same. Just because you provide data like location to one Google service doesn’t automatically mean every other Google service can access it.

And they can’t just change their internal data policies however they like as some of this is governed by legal regulations.

Here’s a a story about how Google is not allowed to share data across business units without user consent, at least in the EU.

If you have been using an ergonomic mechanical keyboard for more than year, let us know which keyboard it is, and whether you plan to keep to keep using it for at least another year or if there's another keyboard you are considering trying instead.

 

I have a Logitech C920 and am looking to upgrade. Something suitable for streaming.

Some annoyances with the Logitech: sometimes autofocus fails and poor reproduction of blacks. Ex: Lack of detail when a black cat is on screen.

I already have a nice mic-- the webcam doesn't need one.

 

To open a file relative to the current one in Helix, you can to the do the following with 24.3:

:o <C-r>%<C-w>

Here, the Control-R allows you to select a register and the special register "%" contains the current file path and inserts into the command line, while the final Control-w chops off the last part of the file name leaving with you current directory.

This is like :o %:h from Vim/Neovim
