I was told Plan9 is who treats absolutely everything as files, even remote mountpoints

That’s why I said it a sudden huge increase in its usage doesn’t sound as good to me as if it happens with time.

But it also means more people will try to introduce malware and exploits.

Not saying that hardware makers giving a single fuck about linux would be a bad thing, but rather than a sudden huge increase in desktop linux usage doesn’t sound as good to me as if it happens with time.

Oh great! Yet another logo or UI using the Inter typeface, just what the world needed!

My bet is “because historic reasons”.

I remember my Nokia 3220, which was the paradigm of phone personalization at its heyday. You could personalize almost everything of it - from its back cover to getting another chassis and/or keyboard with different colors, to its wallpaper, how things showed up in the “home” screen (wether if a list or a grid) to the ringtones and the light patterns they showed when the phone rang. You could even personalize said light patterns doing some dark magick with MIDI (I did one with the opening riff of Metallica’s “Hit the lights” back in the day). Frankly that phone was the tits and imho everything regarding fun but useful phones has gone downhill from there.

But about the font? No, you could not set a different one. There was no other different font, and am pretty sure it was the exact same typeface as the one in the 1100. It was hardcoded.

Same story with a Motorola Rokr Z6 I had the chance to have - you could personalize almost everything from it (it ran Linux under the hood!) except its font.

I’d say Android dragged those concepts from those old phones, and it was just like a couple years ago or so they went “oh! shit! oh! shit!” and remembered about the fonts - all we had meanwhile was the Roboto font in Android 5, which imho was a huge downgrade from the ol’ good Droid Sans family - so now they did some cheap ass effort to try to catch up. And meanwhile typeface formats have evolved a lot - not just bitmap fonts, not even just TrueType fonts, but OpenType fonts (I recall reading somewhere they’re Turing complete?) and now variable fonts. Supporting all of that stuff doesn’t seem easy, and it’s not like AOSP or Google like to put effort in stuff people actually care - they’d spend some time or it or they can choose a subset of all of that to make their lifes easier. If they want to, that is.

And not that in iOS things are better, though - I recall having to do some weird shit with mobile iTunes or something to set my mum’s favorite ringtone because it won’t allow custom ones that easily as we can in Android.

I recall telling this story here on Lemmy not long ago - (and got downvoted some weeks ago for saying that it can happen on any distro… kids don’t know the real struggle I guess) - back in the day I swiped my HDD trying to install ubuntu 5.10 and lost all my data from uni and stuff. Still I can’t remember how I managed to install it after some attempts like a year after that or so.

I’d be upset about losing my data but truth is that somehow I was used to it - third world problems made it frequently due to not having a cd burner to burn my data and crappy IDE HDDs that got corrupted after a while just because. I still have some of them stored somewhere in hopes I could try to recover something from them someday, like some sort of cryogenic stuff.

No, but I want to be one.

Yup, with the recent MTB groupsets (and some gravel groupsets, aka “mullet” setups) chains need to have more links compared to road chains to cover the big ratios in their biggest cogs (50-52 teeth vs. 34-36 at most for road bikes) - add to that that MTB chains may not be compatible with road groupsets and viceversa. But if you check the info available for your groupset and your cassette you’ll find what chains are compatible with it.

I can’t tell what makes a groupset compatible or not with rim brake setups or disc brake setups, but one of the perks of Shimano is that is so widely available almost everywhere it’d be quite rare not to find documentation or a local bike shop where they can tell you what would be the best choice for your setup

You’d want to double check the freewheel that your wheels have, but (surely anyone who knows more about this than me will correct this) I’m almost positive any Shimano 11sp cassette will work. Same for your chain - be sure it’s an 11 sp Shimano-compatible road chain, be Shimano or something like KMC.

Thank you, @Natanael@slrpnk.net helped me figuring out how to do it - and yes, definitely those aren’t tasks for noobs like me. But at least I got to learn something new

Not sure, we as a country bear that horrible but deserved reputation of having “creative” ways to export (illegal) substances… -__-

But if you ever come here there will be a beer, or at least good coffee

You’re a genius! That was it.

I owe you a beer. Thank you so much.

Yes, the pilot was on only when the light was off.

Not sure if I’m understanding correctly what does it mean that if 0 and 1 are always live simultaneously, but leaving plugged 0 to the live wire and testing at 1 with a live wire tester won’t lit it - I left the live wire plugged to 0 and the light wire to 1 and the switch works, i.e. I can turn the light on and off, but the pilot won’t work in either case (nor when the light is on nor when it is off).

I’m in Colombia, this is the switch as they sell it here (they changed the middle switch in it to an empty plate to use it in another house and left me with the other two)

Can’t find any clue about what the little m means, but in the diagram it’s placed next to an interrupted connection between 0 an 3 (not like between 0 and 1, where the line is continuous) so maybe you’re right and 3 would be for the pilot. Still I won’t know why it won’t work

Thank you, I appreciate your help

Thank you, I just tried that configuration again - live wire on 0 and 3, and light on 1 - (and viceversa, live on 0 and 1 and light on 3 - wires are really hard to get out of this switches!) but no dice, the pilot won’t ever turn on. Even tried with the other switch from the same socket but still it won’t work. I’m just giving up. Thank you regardless

I mean, that’s great, no? You don’t have to use an account and on top of that you don’t get that ai bs.

It sort of looks like if Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy were going to pop out from that thing

Lol what? As the other comment says, partitioning disks for Gentoo is exactly the same thing as partitioning disks for Arch. If the problem is a PEBKAC thing you can’t just blame the distro.

The alleged “difficulty” of installing Gentoo is just about reading docs and waiting for it to compile stuff, it’s no rocket science as you people are trying to FUD.

I mean, that you couldn’t get past drive partitioning doesn’t make it difficult to install for everyone.

Exactly this. As OP I’d wish there was a serious FOSS alternative to it but (1) it seems highly improbable such alternative will have a nice Garmin/Wahoo integration, the latter which I happen to use; (2) niceties like when you share an activity you can choose to put a picture you took on your ride as its background; (3) being able to use it on desktop and mobile, without having to set up a self-hosted instance or something (I don’t happen to have a PC working on 24/7 at home!); (4) and maybe this one is just me, but have been using Strava for 11+ years (just checked out, 1007 activities) and I don’t know if there is something that lets you export all of your data from it to be used flawlessly with another app.
