halloween was imported into this country by a costume shop in 1997. this is common knowledge and the shop itself is very proud of this fact. because of this it is an explicitly consumerist holiday, and it is younger than me by a good margin. i do not know anyone who celebrates.

on the internet everything is true. therefore if you don’t preface your thoughts with “CW: opinion” your writing permanently alters reality and people will be angry at you for inconveniencing them.
imho.
jellyfin is a streaming server. get yourself a domain name and you can connect your apps to it from anywhere.
don’t use balenaetcher, it’s a terrible piece of software. use unetbootin or usbimager.
*gestures vaguely at the world in general*
personally i enjoyed the attempts to “ai over” the really bad-on-purpose ones because that just made the ai fuck up even harder. it becomes performance art at that point.
with proper application of sisu, it will open in both directions

brave also used it to scam people by taking tips for creators who weren’t on the platform. if the creator never signed up, they kept that money.
and they had an adblocker that replaced ads with their own, making the browser money instead of the site.
they have actively contributed to making the web worse. saying “at least they’re doing something” is like praising the hard work and entrepreneurial spirit of a mugger.
i’m glad you found it useful, best of luck :)
In north america, yes. i have municipal water, i’ve stayed in hotels all over europe, and i’ve never had the feeling of drowning in a pool when drinking tap water before going over there. the worst thing i’ve encountered in europe is filtered tap water, which tastes like charcoal but is drinkable. the chlorinated water just made my throat close instinctively.
everything is chlorinated. i get painful rash if i ingest chlorinated water, so basically everything was undrinkable. this was also true for soft drinks the time i visited Vegas, so my options for hydration were extremely limited.
this is more focused for sure, but it lacks the enthusiasm of the original. if i was trying to do this for work, i would appreciate how quickly it gets to the point. however, it no longer reads like this is something you’re interested in. it reads a bit wooden. i get that would happen after you’ve been told to correct your style though.
to be clear, the original article doesn’t need to be rewritten. for the future though, when you want to tell the story of how you got something working, include your reasons for doing something a certain way. if you need a self-inflicted complication, that’s not really a part of it (unless it’s funny)
chicken, peanuts, curry powder, banana. no pineapple.
that or the classic lyxkebabpizza (with fries), or maybe a good calskrove.
your writing overall is good! it’s just a matter of information priority.
here’s a tip, dunno how applicable it is but i use it when writing technical documentation:
for each step, explain to yourself why you’re doing it the way you are. if it turns out you caused the step to be needed, rather than it being required, you probably need to rethink, or at least add the explanation to the text.
this guide, and the previous one, have a lot of weird superfluous steps. like, why use a command that includes nvim and then ask people to change it instead of just saying “edit the file”? why symlink systemd stuff to your own home directory?
the info is good, but having to separate the actually useful stuff from things that are specific to your config makes it less useful.
well speech-dispatcher has no synthesis component, you can plug in any tts engine that follows the interface. it’s nice to have a choice in engine just by implementing the support. personally i use piper which i feel gives a pretty good performance.
i believe that’s what speech-dispatcher is; a uniform interface for tts systems.
sweden.
and I went back to check, it was imported by a costume shop in collaboration with hard rock cafe in the early 90s but the decision from the board of business to encourage people to spend for this holiday came in 97.
