I'm exactly like this.

I have a OneWheel that I use to get around, and a JBL speaker. I legit listen to music in Publix isles, dancing, vibing, all day, every day.

I'm known around my neighborhood as "the speaker guy".

If I don't have music playing, I'm usually finger drumming/tapping/bobbing my head anyway.

Are they any free email services that allow you to use your own domain?

If a projects build system can't depend on python, that let's leave them in the dust, ffs..

Package managers that use git are less prone to this kinda of attack (goland, rust).

It's as real as any other fake story.

If a story is bombastic, it's safer to assume it's fake. Reddit incentivizes OPs to get engagement.

I'll never forget how confused I was when my HP printer kept printing ads, randomly.

Turns out, it was an official practice by HP.

I'll never use any of their products again.

7% of all humans that ever existed, are alive today.

We can afford a contraction.

I love seeing this hit HN every so often. It reminds me of just how hilarious us humans introduce complexity just everywhere.

pknopf — Sat, 30 Oct 2021 20:33:14 +0000

I don't know how it would be if they are switching from 8 bit to 32 bit.

I imagine most devices that come with MIDI 2.0 will have an option to run in either 1 or 2.

If you are more comfortable with apt/Ubuntu/Debian, you could use Darch: https://github.com/pauldotknopf/darch-recipes

There are also base images for Arch and Void.

Checkout my pet project, Darch: https://godarch.com/

It is truly immutable. Here are my recipes: https://github.com/pauldotknopf/darch-recipes
