  • Great for car camping. I’m using a jackery for power in my van until I have the time to finish my build with something bigger and more permanent. For now I just jack that into the house fuse box, and plug it into the van to charge while driving. I have a solar briefcase to put out when camping.


    • For file save/send dialogs, just drag/drop from nemo/nautilus to the file dialog instead of using the annoying navigation in the file dialog itself.
    • In cinnamon, use win-l,r,u,d to snap. In succession will go from full width/height to a corner. Reverse or drag the window to go back to original size. This gives you nice tiling with the flexibility of traditional window management as well.
    • for a terminal ctl-alt-t
    • alt-f2 to execute a command with history




  • Patents should simply be a monopoly on an idea for enough time to gather resources to develop that idea’s prototype. I know it doesn’t work that way, but it should. They really should be there for small inventors, not giant corps who have plenty of resources, but I digress.

    But software itself can implement that prototype without having to build anything. Your ideas can be created directly. We don’t patent math and we don’t patent poetry or even poetic writing structures.

    Software and business method patents are utter bullshit.
