AFAIK, they are used as relays.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-bit_computing#1-bit

Computers and microcomputers may also be used, but they tend to overcomplicate the task and often require highly trained personnel to develop and maintain the system. A simpler device, designed to operate on inputs and outputs one-at-a-time and configured to resemble a relay system, was introduced. These devices became known to the controls industry as programmable logic controllers (PLC).

Starting from the 3rd post, most of them are full stories. But I haven’t read everything, so I’m not sure how much of it is really scifi, although he’s most known for his cyberpunk stories in the 80s and 90s.

Here you have one I posted previously: “Homo sapiens declared extinct” by Bruce Sterling (1999)

From his wikipedia page:

Michael Bruce Sterling (born April 14, 1954) is an American science fiction author known for his novels and short fiction and editorship of the Mirrorshades anthology. In particular, he is linked to the cyberpunk subgenre.

Sterling’s first science-fiction story, Man-Made Self, was sold in 1976. He is the author of science-fiction novels, including Schismatrix (1985), Islands in the Net (1988), and Heavy Weather (1994). In 1992, he published his first non-fiction book, The Hacker Crackdown: Law and Disorder on the Electronic Frontier.[1]

The only one I know is Bruce Sterling’s medium:

How long would you say it took you before getting a fundamental understanding?

I would say years, as with any complex activity.

I’m still forgetting things I learned 3 or even 4 times like how to do a for each loop.

You can forget in 2 different ways:

1. Forget how to use something, so you need to look how to do it.
2. Forget that something exists, so you cannot even look for it because you are not aware it’s a possibility.

You will forget-1 everything which you don’t use on a daily basis. That’s what internet is for. Forgetting in the 2-nd sense is much more rare and you should do something if that’s the case.

all of it feels too advanced and I get lost on how to begin

This is a bias most of us have, you overlook how easy is for you to do things that previously were impossible and focus on how hard are the things you still don’t know how to do. And computing is so complex right now that there always be “infinite” things you don’t know.

Try showing what you know to someone who doesn’t know how to code and you will get an idea of how much you have learnt :).

Anyway, I don’t really have good advice :/, just wanted to confirm that what you feel is expected. Good luck!

I was going to suggest yt-dlp, but this seems to be for android… right? In that case, I don’t know if yt-dlp works there.

Anyway, for those on PCs, you can use yt-dlp "PLAYLIST_URL".

Some useful options:

• --download-archive videos.txt: this will keep track of downloaded files in case you want to interrupt an continue later. You can change the filename videos.txt to whatever you want.
• -R infinite --file-access-retries infinite --fragment-retries infinite --retry-sleep http:exp=1:20 --retry-sleep fragment:exp=1:20 --retry-sleep file_access:exp=1:20 --retry-sleep extractor:exp=1:20: infinite retries for different error types, for those with unreliable connections.
• -o "%%(playlist_index)s - %%(title)s.%%(id)s.%%(ext)s": output file format
• --cookies cookies.txt: if it’s a private list, you will need to provide your (yt-logged-in-)browser cookies. See cookies.txt add-on.

I prefer Tranquility Reader add-on (no need for a 3rd party service). Very similar to Firefox’ native Reader Mode, but more configurable and compatible with other addons (like translation).

Photoshop on WINE can be made to work, but it’s a terribly bad solution for many reasons.

May I ask the main reasons? This is probably the most important point regarding my migration to linux and I thought that Wine would be a proper solution for Photoshop.

Thanks!

I didn’t do anything special, just typed the correctly fomatted link (as yours).

It doesn’t work on bookwormstory.social either (pointed out here). Being it a new feature, bugs are expected.

Not sure if it’s a typo or a front-end rendering issue. But I see your link wrong. The correct one would be:
!pfefferle.wordpress.com@pfefferle.wordpress.com

For lemm.ee:

This is how I understand it: the 3 main alternatives for the author were:

• Do nothing and comply with DC shenanigans.
• Try to fight (legally) DC.
• Make it public domain.

None of them are ideal and, although (from what I understand… IANAL) you are right that with the 3rd one DC can do whathever they want, companies don’t like when anyone can make any kind (gore, porn, furry porn…) of fanart with their products. If Fables ends up being identified with not-safe-for-monetization stuff, it could be dangerous for them. Imagine the possible “won’t somebody please think of the children?” juicy headlines about it.

But I think the main reason is that this makes it a problem only for DC instead of it being a problem for the author.

EDIT: As pointed in other comments, they would also loose the exclusivity over the product and merchandising. They would need to compete with very cheap legal-knockoffs.

I’ve been waiting for years for “non-destructive edition” (AKA smart objects). It’s a fundamental feature that I use (almost?) always as a first step. IMHO a lof of professional work is not practical without it.

They had it on the roadmap (see 2020 archive) for years marked as “No[t started]”. The current roadmap looks more promising with “link layers” marked as WIP and saying it could be available on GIMP 3.0.2.

LightDM says it’s a Display Manager.

I know that naming is hard but, oh my…, terms are so confusing when you’re starting:

• Desktop Environment
• Windows Manager
• Desktop Manager
• Display Manager
• Tiling Window Manager
• Compositing Window Manager

… I’m still not sure which ones are synonyms, sub categories or independent components :/.

I’m an ultra-noob, so those who know more please correct me.

I’m playing with Linux VMs and recently I installed Debian to check it out. When it asked what DE I wanted, I chose all of them :).

The only hard conflict (AFAIK) is the [compontent / feature responsible for loging in] (I don’t know the technical term). Because each DE comes with a different one, you need to choose one.

What I found very confusing in practice is that I could see some DE apps and configuration settings from other DEs. So, unless you know what belongs to what, it’s a bit of a mess (in my VERY limited experience).

Oooh… I see. I didn’t understand how broad the Desktop Env really are. Is not that they manage “a lot of things regarding the desktop and windows”… is just like a bundle of apps.

Now it’s starting to sound like a sub-distro inside the distros, but I think this is a good point to stop bothering you. Thanks again!
