  • Hot (lukewarm?) take: The first step in fixing the US’s problem with firearm-related violence should not be banning firearms (background checks etc already exist), but should instead be taking measures to prevent people getting into situations where randomly shooting people is seen as a logical choice, such as some form of universal income/healthcare (not gonna argue specifics here because literally anything would be better than our current state of affairs), and a better framework for both understanding and assisting with mental health. Firearm training should definitely also be a requirement.

    Unfortunately, if I did somehow become president, I’d bet “President 0x30507DE was found dead in a barrel with 3 gunshot wounds to the back of the head. His death was ruled a suicide.” would be the headlines within about 2 weeks.



  • ArityCalc is really neat, does graphing and a few other things

    JRPN 16C is a take on the HP 16C , it’s both fun to mess around with and a great help when working with raw memory

    μMath+ is great for working with complex problems

    I use a NewPipe fork called PipePipe that is a bit more stable from my experience

    Aurora Store is great

    Markor is my go-to notes app, lets you write notes in markdown among other things

    Trail Sense is neat both for its intended purpose as a general hiking toolkit, but also as a way to check phone sensors

    Total Commander, because of course

    Organic Maps is an offline maps app based on OpenStreetMap data, it’s great






  • To be fair to Canonical, those messages can be disabled by deleting /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20apt-esm-hook.conf, but that’s still kinda unacceptable IMO.

    They should’ve just disabled the messages unless you actually attached a pro license

    (disclaimer: I mainly use kubuntu as my debian-based distro of choice, because gnome/gdm3 makes my eyes bleed)
