Does it support any DE other than Gnome? For the rest, looks cool!

Sadly, not officially (atm). I think you need to use a custom image and I don’t know how well those work.

See https://old.reddit.com/r/vanillaos/comments/1d69jn0/want_to_run_vanilla_os_but_no_gnome_de/

I’ve heard good things about VanillaOS. Not used it myself though.

With their package manager apx, you can use software from pretty much any distro in VanillaOS (copied from link above):

Apx is a tool that allows you to generate work environments based on any Linux distribution and seamlessly integrates them with the system in a convenient way …

You will also know nothing and be happy.

I am sorry to hear that your dietary choices are not being respected by the hospital staff.

What country are you in? I would have assumed hospitals in most developed countries should be able to cater to different dietary needs. What would they do if someone had a sever allergic reaction to certain ingredients? Tell them to just starve?

I don’t have anything helpful to say. Hope you get better soon.

Lovely, thank you! I’m in the same boat, I cook my chickpeas myself and never managed to get the same results as with canned chickpeas.

Turns out it’s a bit more involved than just having the right ratio of water to chickpeas (according to the article).

Am I understanding this correctly that dynamic programming == breaking a problem into smaller (reoccurring) sub-problems and using caching to improve performance?

… an average hobbyist programmer …

and

… create an MVP?

are at odds in my opinion. Are you looking for a hobby project or are you trying to build a product that you can sell/persuade investors with?

If you are interested in building such a thing because you care about the idea, go for it! Even if you abandon the whole thing after a few months of consistent work, I’m pretty confident that you will gain something in the process (insights, learnings, an idea for an actual product etc.).

However if your goal is to build something that’s commercially viable, I would do some market analysis (see what’s out there, what you want to do differently) and maybe talk to people who have already launched products or started companies before, instead of basing my decision on the responses from strangers on social media.

The thing is, it works like this in certain countries. At least in Switzerland and Germany it is possible to make an apprenticeship as a programmer. This means there is a structured path for the vocational education that must meet certain regulatory criteria. Normally this takes 3-4 years to finish and includes both, working at a company as well as visiting vocational school. College is often done after finishing one’s apprenticeship to broaden the understanding of more complex or advanced topics like security, architecture, project management, advanced math etc.

I don’t understand why this system is not more common in other places. Programming (not CS) is very much like a craft and to large degrees can be taught as/similar to one.

Official Release Page for those who don’t want to read the Phoronix article: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/releases/1.0.0

It’s great to see that Pipewire has reached this milestone. Personally I’ve been using it since 0.3.35 for very basic audio needs and it’s been a very smooth transition. After installation I never had to tinker with it anymore. "It just works"TM

Firefox now supports a setting (in Preferences → Privacy & Security) to enable Global Privacy Control. With this opt-in feature, Firefox informs the websites that the user doesn’t want their data to be shared or sold.

This sounds like Do Not Track revisited. The only difference that I can find (only skimmed the website) is, that there seems to be some legal support for this in the state of California.

Now you can exercise your legal privacy rights in one step via Global Privacy Control (GPC), required under the California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA).

I wonder:

  1. How does this differ from DNT?
  2. Does this this have any real chance to take off? From what I’ve heard, DNT has been rather counterproductive as it can be used to fingerprint users.
