Surely there is a more elegant way, but I simply take a screenshot of the map (with a pip showing my location) and send it to the other person.
There is always a trade off between ease of writing and reading. HTML, Latex, rich text (docx/rtf) have excellent readability if prepared right, but writing in them is difficult. Plaintext is easy ...
I know three options: Blender - generic 3D modeling software. Very powerful, with many features and large community. A few years ago it used to be notorious for its steep learning curve. It is p...
I regularly use two computers with the same keyboard and monitor(s) with a KVM switch. With one button press, the KVM switch can transfer both the video output (monitors) and input (keyboard and mo...
I tried to use my Wireguard VPN on Android, and, it sucks! I installed https://f-droid.org/packages/com.wireguard.android/ thinking that would be "the" wireguard app. I configured it with my conne...
How do you unlock about:config settings which are locked? How do you set them despite being locked? As an example, Librewolf disables the password manager, which I find silly. However, they also d...
Google SketchUp used to be very popular among amateur "builders" - people would use it to design woodworking projects, 3D printer models, house renovations and so forth. The main strength was that ...
It's hard to comment definitively on this because both attack vectors and countermeasures evolve rapidly. My guess would be that Firefox would not allow tab X to see that you copied something on t...
One of the Wifi networks I connect to has a DNS server on it, which is better than public ones. This DNS server is not available when connected to other networks. When I'm on this network, I want ...
Does the Mac Mini have a GPU? This sounds like something that could happen due to a graphics driver issue. AFAIK Youtube relies on the HTML5 video element. If it freezes in all browsers, it's prob...
My keyboard is getting old and occasionally I notice the key presses don't quite register. This keyboard uses membrane switches so I can see how they would wear out after a while and not be as resp...
I use Cheese to take photos with my webcam. The photos get saved under ~/Pictures/Webcam which I don't like. I want them somewhere else. In typical, presumptuous Gnome fashion, there is no UI in C...
When I receive a call with Google Voice open in a browser on my desktop, it only rings briefly in the browser (about 2 seconds). After that, my phone starts ringing. When I'm at my computer, I wan...
I use offlineimap to synchronize my mail, and I have the directory set up as a local folder in KMail. Currently, I open KMail and also run offlineimap to synchronize my mail. Is there a way to mak...
Still don't know how to do this, but bookmarks kind of accomplish it. You can do m1 too bookmark a folder as "1". Then move to another folder and bookmark with m2. Now, to switch use: `1 `2 #...
In ranger, I am often copying a bunch of files from one folder to another. Currently I do it like this: Select files with Space Cut with F6 Navigate to the destination folder Paste with pp ...
It seems possible to do this with unlockPref. unlockPref("signon.rememberSignons"); This technically only "unlocks" the setting, but in my case when unlocked it changes to true on its own in ab...
Brave The Brave project was started by Brendan Eich, one of the key figures in original Firefox, after he left the Mozilla foundation due to political reasons. From this, one could presume that it...
How sad. I remember playing Diablo 2 as a wee lad, I think my computer at the time was a Celeron with an S3 Savage video card with 8 MB of memory. And then we have this "remake", probably with bloa...
When I use my Firefox-family browser to connect to Google Meet: Update your browser to use visual effects You're using an older browser version that doesn't work with Meet's visual effects I...
A frustrating situation is when a mod decides that a question is "unclear" and closes it, and yet the question is not actually unclear. Unfortunately, the close prevents anyone else from posting an...
Pale Moon Pale moon is technically a Firefox based browser, but it has diverged considerably over the years. It was originally a fork of an old version and has retained many "good old" FF features...
Cloning is fine provided you do a proper clone. Something I used to do with Win7 is to actually clone the partition with a partition manager, and then boot from the new one. After everything is fin...
Please, correct me if you think I'm wrong! What you're asking is at cross purposes with the Linux movement. Linux is fundamentally different from Windows because its development model is diffe...
Not a real answer, but may be interesting: Silly Tavern includes a memory book Of course, Silly Tavern is a frontend for talking to AIs. So passages from the memory book will be shown to the AI, n...
