That’s the neat part. I don’t!

I’ve got enough privacy concerns about my car’s privacy policies that I don’t want my phone talking to my car. (Except via the aux audio port, at least.)

And since I first got a smartphone, I haven’t done enough traveling that I’ve ever felt the need for a maps app. But there are options on F-Droid. I just can’t speak to how good they are as I’ve never used any of them.

Though, honestly, I can also just use https://maps.google.com/ through my browser.

Nope! I’m Google-app free.

My only app store is F-Droid. And I have yet to install any proprietary apps on my phone.

I’ve got Shelter set up in case my work ever pressures me to install any proprietary apps, but so far they haven’t pushed anyway.

See how many tickets you have to open at precisely the same time to make the server grind to a halt. Given how long it takes to load even one, my bet’s on about 10 before other users start seeing issues.

Oh jeez. I forgot about that. I had that running on my DS back in the day from a GBA flashcart with a big-ass CompactFlash card sticking out the bottom. Good times.

I imagine there was a time when this wasn’t obscure, but I’m guessing people today don’t remember Caldera OpenLinux. That was the first Linux distro I installed/used. A guy from church gave his copy.

Caldera eventually became SCO. But I’m pretty sure I was using Caldera OpenLinux before the whole Novell patent suit thing.

What icon pack? (Is this post supposed to be a link?)

Edit: Ah. Now there’s an image.

Far be it from me to dissuade anyone from applying the solution of 3D printing to any problem, but why not just buy one of those universal suction-cup-type flag car flag pole mounts and sticking it to the hatch itself?

Or maybe get a trailer hitch installed and use one of those flag poles that connect to a trailer hitch.

Mind you, those things I’m talking about tend to be made of steel. Definitely wouldn’t want your flagpole coming off on the highway or atop a bridge and impaling someone in another vehicle.

And, I’m not sure what legal considerations there might be for this venture, so it might be best to do your research. I know in my area, if anything sticks out too far out the back of your vehicle, you’re legally required to add a red piece of cloth or something. There are probably maximum lengths you may be allowed for a flag on your car.

If you insist on a 3D printed solution:

• I imagine you’d have to design it yourself. Even if you got help from a professional CAD kind of person, I’d have to think they’d have to be able to measure and work with your car in person.
• Mount it at multiple places. Trailer hitch and have the hatch hold it in place and connect it to roof rack bars, for instance.
• Use strong materials (straps, carabiners, steel, wood) for most of it and try to avoid having the 3D-printed parts take the brunt of the weight and/or stress.
• Take into account things like gradual warping due to stress and material fatigue.
• I know I’m harping on mechanical strength, bur make it bulkier than you think it needs to be and use 100% infill.
• Test it a lot for potential failures as best yoi can before taking your car out with the flag mounted on it. Maybe try some drives with only the pole and no flag first, then with a smaller flag before moving on to the real deal. Start on back roads and move up to larger streets and then to highways. Check for any signs of stress or warping between every test.
• Be willing to give up before endangering anyone. Better to live your life with an off-the-shelf solution or no solution than to be responsible for injuring someone.
• Be willing to scale down a little. Settle for a smaller flag, maybe.
• Consider how much this will affect your own visibility as the driver.

You know. Just… be careful about the whole endeavor.

I suppose you could take it off the bed, measure very precisely the height, print just the remainder (by altering the model and re-slicing) on the bed, and glue it to what’s already printed. It would almost definitely still have a visible seam and aside from that, I can’t think of a way to save it.

Brag about being an Arch user (BTW.)

I’ve got my caps lock key remapped to escape.

I use my left pinky for ctrl, shift, a, and my remapped caps lock/escape key.

I use my right pinky for shift, enter, and I’m pretty sure that’s all.

I use my ring fingers for backspace, tilde, tab, q, backslash, quote, and that probably isn’t a comprehensive list.

I use my middle finger for semicolon/colon! I never realized that before. Wild.

I like mine raw and muddy.

Shit, is that being considered?

I use dmenu_run because it’s ridiculously minimal, has zero dependencies, is very fast, and fits with the i3 aesthetic well.

Jesus told me it doesn’t have to be alcohol. He once turned piss into Mtn Dew. I’ve only ever done the opposite.

And how much are you asking for in research funding?

It’s published under a CC BY-NC-SA Creative Commons license, according to Wikipedia. (Look at the “written works” section.)

If “Snow Crash” counts, you probably want to look into the novels “Daemon” and especially its sequel “Freedom” by Daniel Suarez. Probably also the novel “Walkaway” by Corey Doctorow.

“The Internet’s Own Boy” is a documentary about Aaron Swartz that I suspect would also scratch your itch. (Available on Archive.org)

Edit: Almost forgot The Public Domain by James Boyle. I haven’t read that one yet, but it’s high on my list.

If you’re thinking it may be malicious, I think it’s innocuous.

Try cat’ing /etc/skel/.bashrc and see if the code in question in in there. My guess is it will be. When a new user’s home directory is created, it copies all the files from /etc/skel into the newly-created home directory. So, that directory is basically a “new user home directory template.”

The code you posted (is missing an fi at the end, but anyway) just looks like a utility for making it easier to organize your .bashrc into separate files rather than one big file. That’s a common technique for various configuration files that a lot of distros commonly do. And I personally find that technique nice.

If you want to delete that code, it’s not going to hurt anything to remove it (unless someday you add a ~/.bashrc.d/ directory and some file in there “doesn’t work” and it confuses you why.)

Also, what distro are you on?

The README in the repo indicates it’s based on the NEO-PI, which is kindof the gold standard in personality tests at least right now from what I understand.

Book recommendation for folks who might want to know more about the topic of personality psychology. Me, Myself, and Us: The Science of Personality and the Art of Well-Being by Dr. Brian Little.

if you want to take OpenAI’s own research into account

No thank you.
