Technology@lemmy.ml•This little gadget to find out which type of USB-C cable you haveEnglish
7·1 year agoThe ports should be on the same side of the device. As it is, short cables can’t be tested.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a handy terminal command you use often?English
5·1 year agoqmv -f do ${dir}
… for quickly moving and renaming files. The default ‘qmv’ opens up your preferred text editor with a list of the source and destination name of the directory of files you want to move/rename. The ‘-f do’ tells the command we only want to see/edit the [d]estination [o]nly. If you need to rename/move a bunch of files, it’s much quicker to do it in vim (at least for me).

13·1 year agoAhhh, the classic “shoot the messengers” defense.
Others have mentioned it already, but I wanted to chime in and say that I’ve been really liking the Tabasco Sriracha sauce. It’s different from “real” Sriracha, more garlicky for one thing (a positive in my book). I don’t consider it a replacement, but since it’s impossible to find the original where I’m at, I consider it the next best thing.

11·2 years agoI’ll second Tim Traveller. Consistently interesting and he has a real knack for finding offbeat-yet-fascinating places to visit in Europe.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Books that are worse than the film (which was already bad?)English
3·2 years agoI found the movie a bit sappy. A weaker version of To Kill a Mockingbird. What I couldn’t get over was the nonsensical geography and impossibly frequent bus service.
Endless Sky is amazing. I’ve put so many hours into it. It’s available on Steam or as an AppImage from https://endless-sky.github.io
It’s a New York thing to refer to the rural Northern and Western parts of New York State that are not New York City. No one (or at least very very few) outside of New York State uses it to refer to any other place.

1·2 years agoExactly. Amazing how many people seem to forget it is “free as in freedom, not free as in beer”.

11·2 years agoAt least 1Il & 0O are different and (mostly) easily distinguishable in all the variants. Only exception is in the Argon variant 1 and l are too similar IMO.

Hollow Knight is just amazing. Reinvigorated my love of Metroidvania-style games. The atmosphere, the environments, the movement, the controls, the music, it all works so well together. Just amazing.
Which leads me on to the second recommendation. Steamworld Dig and its sequel are pretty unique in the genre. They’re Metroidvania games, but you’re creating most of the tunnels and platforms as you go. Great character designs, and smooth progression all the way to the end.
