It's weirdly difficult to remap the "office" key so that pressing it won't open an ad for ms office 365 and pressing office+L won't open linkedin.com, and a few more equally valuable core OS features.

In the end I just had to grab a small bit of C code from GitHub, compile it, move the exe to the startup folder, have Windows Defender yell at me for having obviously installed a particularly nasty brand of trojan, and make Windows Defender put the executive I had just compiled back.

But really, I deserve this for using a Microsoft natural keyboard in the first place.

I'd say, let's have everyone brainstorm the best way to go about this, and let a thousand flowers bloom!

It is time for the mainland to come back into the fold.

I agree the mainland should be allowed to maintain some amount of self rule during the transition.

Pixel 7 with a barely customized Nova Launcher, because I'm basic but I need rounded square icons.
The background looks iffy in the shot, but it's a live wallpaper from Shader Editor running Machine DNA's GLSL shader with minimal tweaks needed to make it fit on the phone.
That weird twitter icon is a Firefox PWA running twitter.com with various userscripts installed, to remove antifeatures and bad logos.

I vote for xX-[X]-Xx

Alas, this being the darkest timeline, we'll probably end up with X Social.

I've been having fun writing a dumb userscript to help me cope with this.

Yes, it can put back a bird of your choosing as a logo, but why stop there.

Instead of tweeting on Twitter, I can now spez on Reddit, skeet on Bluesky, or just eXecrate on X, the Elon way.

It's ridiculous and pointless, and I'm not sorry.

Yes, there's an underlying taste of "oh my god look how they massacred a great idea" to it, but I've learned to swish it in my mouth and savor it by now.

Next (2007), starring the One True God, alongside Julianne Moore and Jessica Biel.

It's a brilliant movie (loosely) based on a Philip K Dick short story. It's been nominated and won actual awards (Worst Actor and Worst Supporting Actress from the prestigious Razzie Awards, Worst Foreign Actor from the Yoga Awards), and it stands the test of time comfortably at 28% on the tomatometer.

I wish I was kidding. I've watched this over a dozen times. I can't stop. Send help.

You can list every man page installed on your system with man -k . , or just apropos .
But that's a lot of random junk. If you only want "executable programs or shell commands", only grab man pages in section 1 with a apropos -s 1 .

You can get the path of a man page by using whereis -m pwd (replace pwd with your page name.)

You can convert a man page to html with man2html (may require apt get man2html or whatever equivalent applies to your distro.)
That tool adds a couple of useless lines at the beginning of each file, so we'll want to pipe its output into a | tail +3 to get rid of them.

Combine all of these together in a questionable incantation, and you might end up with something like this:

mkdir -p tmp ; cd tmp
apropos -s 1 . | cut -d' ' -f1 | while read page; do whereis -m "$page" ; done | while read id path rest; do man2html "$path" | tail +3 > "${id::-1}.html"; done

List every command in section 1, extract the id only. For each one, get a file path. For each id and file path (ignore the rest), convert to html and save it as a file named $id.html.

It might take a little while to run, but then you could run firefox . or whatever and browse the resulting mess.

Or keep tweaking all of this until it's just right for you.

He literally just fixed it, and he learned nothing from this, Dunning-Kruger as strong as always.

Instead of simply blurring them, it'd be technically possible to feed their images through a stable diffusion prompt, like "humanoid lizards" or "frantic lemmings"..
Also, I understand that a large language model could be made to rewrite articles about them with a matching prompt.

That would be very silly, of course.

Yes, it really was renamed after the Zuckerbergs, as buildings sometimes are at the request of a large donator seeking posterity.

See Wikipedia:

In November 2008, San Francisco voters approved an $887.4 million general obligation bond for the General Hospital rebuild, work began in 2009, and was expected to be finished in 2015.

In 2015, Facebook founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, and his wife Priscilla Chan gave $75 million to help fund equipment and technology for the new hospital.

 

I'm brand new here, so I apologize if this is already well-trodden ground.

Is there an existing mechanism that would allow to convert URLs that point to a different instance to become instead federated links from the current instance?

For example, at https://lemmy.world/post/503056, there's a comment with a link that points to https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/87275/Wagner-Group-captures-headquarters-of-the-Southern-Military-District-and

Ideally, that URL would be transformed somewhere between its pasting in the original comment and my loading it in my browser into something more like https://lemmy.world/post/502058

Is that something that exists, in whole or in part?
