not many people are likely to have one but tiny cameras in various forms are quite cheap.

damn. that’s a pretty shit one.

Everything that people try to convince me is good about it just feels so counter intuitive. It also looks like it should be touch friendly, but I tried it on steam deck and it just absolutely wasn’t. We have decades of touch interface design on phones and tablets yet somehow it’s worse than the flop tablets that came before ipad. But to each their own I suppose. Some people absolutely love it and it works for them. That’s a big part of open source computing, one can chose the desktop environment with the most unlikeable devs if it makes them happy.

Anyway spin up a vm when you get a chance and try it. Try all of them if you can find the time. I find a lot of them kinda nostalgic and I really like tiling wm’s for feeling like a power nerd and making my computer completely unusable to my friends. Mostly I just use kde though.

I installed it just to see if maybe I was wrong about gnome being shit and even if it still is maybe vanilla is good enough to put up with it. I never fucking learn.

So this requires some kind of existing tracking software? Are there existing FOSS options for that part?

My current job doesn’t need time tracking (yet?, some of my work is for the sister company) but a job I worked before had us clock in and out for specific projects on a computer, but the subscription ended and we were using a UI glitch to continue using it and literally cheat engine to make it still export the files for the office to use.

yeah that

I’ve been cursed. the words promotion, video, and japanese in close proximity always remind me of that really weird japanesy trump promo video and I wish I could delete that from my head.

honestly unless you are planning to develop for them and can improve the jankiness, neither. base pinephone is too weak for literally anything, even running that super minimal os. pro I only had for a few days before selling due to having no time for it but it was only powerful enough for me to think specs wise that’s what the original should have been for the year it came out. I kept the basic one because I already did the open source modem firmware or whatever it was but its probably way out of date now.

If this is way out of date and things have improved much, someone tell me please.

I could have sworn I watched this but I don’t remember the plot of the movie, let alone whatever this is. I feel like the only thing I remember from it was him telling the girl to make him different cookies.

not particularly exciting I think I had ‘dog’ one time while distro hopping.

I guess its for mac book but on a real keyboard just replacing the caps with tall ones that loft from square to a circle at the top would be way better and less floppy

from what I can gather its currently recommended to use quadlets to generate systemd units to achieve what compose was doing. podman compose is a thing but IIRC I didn’t find that was straight drop in and I had to change the syntax or formatting a bit for it to work and from the brief testing I have put in quadlets seems less hassle, but if you use a non systemd distro then I don’t know.

I figured as much. These are things that were given to me as an “otherwise it goes in the landfill” package deal. a couple have klipper over dietpi for my 3d printers but the rest are seemigly junk and I’ll probbaly toss them in the electronics section at the recycle depot next time I go there

yeah I think I have an orange, a mango, a nanopi, and a couple entirely written in chinese that are different from each other. Just before reddit went senile I was planning on posting images to try to ID the unknown ones but I didn’t and got busy with stuff less likely to be a dead end.

Can anyone confirm if it is indeed the case that you can’t just put whatever os you want on these things, or if it is possible by jumping through some hoops that google would never show me in favour of showing me other shit that makes them more money?

but how do I run it on confusingly named chinese sbc’s for which the only os images that seem to exist are an untrustworthy debian based system and an old version of android?

oh no, I changed world lines again, didn’t I?

That is some high end naming sense

simple task that often can’t be done properly because 15 people before someone didn’t connect it and eventually after person 40 put it in and the weight surpassed the holding power of a pice of 1 inch angle iron against a single pair of casters, and the train rolls away and smashes a car, now someone is super inconvinenced having to deal with the bullshit insurance procedures that never get you back to where you were before and the staff that there aren’t enough of to keep up get shit they don’t get paid enough to listen to. at least once a week at my store.

Now if you mean people that will specifically take the cart to the two sheds farthest away because they’re the only ones not way over filled then sure. But with the way people over fill them, put other store’s incompatible carts in, put them in sideways or backward leave garbage in the carts, and honestly way more dumb incompetent shit than I could remember, I just can’t see it. As a worker it has been continually way easier to just grab loose ones than redo the fucking mess. As a shopper I can see that all of the sheds are fucked up and everything needs to be removed and reorganized and that putting the cart in will just make it worse, therefore it would be best to place it somewhere it can’t roll away but is easy for one persom to take. In the end reality is too complicated for social theorists I guess.

The shopping cart theory is a test of who lives in imaginary fantasy land where everything is perfect and everything only has a right and a wrong answer and nobody needs to improvise a solution to anything and bad events born of good intentions mixed with utter incompetence also make you a good person.

And a bunch of people here seem to adamantly judge people with idiotic metrics based on nothing.

I’d be willing to bet up to $2k, more if I had it, that more than half of the serial killers that went quiet before being caught put their carts away and actually chained them in properly too.

If it’s left maliciously in a genuinely bullshit spot, then sure. If it’s placed in a way that doesn’t block anything or hit someones car then I really don’t see the problem. When I worked the grocery store it was literally the easiest task. Chain a few carts together, put them in the shed, repeat, easy. It was a fucking nightmare when I had to break apart the chain of carts spanning the entire lot and balance them without hitting any cars or getting hit by a car, which actually happened to a couple of the other workers.

And let’s not forget the anti mask/vax losers that harassed other shoppers. They put their carts away, and not only that they stuck around if someone wearing a mask approached and didn’t let them take the cart. The walmart and similar store memes are not only a real, but a regular occurance and much worse and more irritating when you work at a store.

nah fuck that shit. there are staff paid to do it and if the store can’t afford that staff they are fucking lying. they have earned this with the price fixing and gouging and I’m not giving them any more of my time than absolutely necessary.

in addititon when I had that job myself, more often than not people put them away wrong and I had to redo everything. I’ve gotten called to the office more than once because shoppers that put the carts away didn’t lock them somewhere along the stack and the whole thing rolled across the lot and smashed in to someone’s car. Collecting lose carts is way easier than pulling them alll apart and putting them back after finding the two near the middle beginning of the chain and not being able to get them back together without doing it one by one in the stupidly hilly lot.
