• TIL: You can open man or info pages in Firefox by man:<page> or info:<page>

  Addendum from https://mastodon.social/@mofosyne/112385581085525369 Turns out that it's because KHelpCenter in some linux distros hooks to these uris. So typing this uri would autoopen these man entries in KHelpCenter. - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• Systemd Rolling Out "run0" As sudo Alternative

  Good news! Run0 will use polkit[1], which uses JavaScript for its rules[2], so there's no limit on how complex your rules can get! On the other hand, maybe adding a JavaScript interpreter to Linux's trusted computing base isn't such good news...

• TfL's simple pop-up message led to a significant drop in paper ticket sales

  Apparently there are some stations which still have ticket gates, but I haven't seen any in the rather short time I've been in the Netherlands - they seem to be concentrated in metropolitan areas[1], and I've only been in the somewhat more rural[2] province of Limburg. As it happens, though, I have never actually used the OV-chipcard myself, as I always use an Interrail pass when travelling any further than... - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago

• Systemd Wants to Expand to Include a Sudo Replacement

  Uh, depending on exactly how it's implemented, it could break a lot of things. If all you are using sudo on is a personal (i.e. Single user) laptop/desktop to install packages, this (along with other things like pkexec or doas) would seem to present no issues (and personally, from what I can see, I'd be happy to run `run0` on my personal systems!), but sudo does significantly more than that,... - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

• Ask HN: What do you think about a subscription based social media?

  Oh, TIL about https://mastodon.social/ (https://joinmastodon.org/) Looks like what you describe, doesn't it? > Social networking that's not for sale. - Source: Hacker News / 9 days ago

• A cool but (in some cases) inefficient way of speedrunning a language with a translator.

  Go lingojam.com and start creating a language. Source: about 1 year ago

• How do I make a logography or syllabary keyboard eg. pinyin

  I don't think there is a way to make custom IME yet, so the only way I know of is sites like https://lingojam.com that allow "translating". Iconic uses it for text<->emoji so it's not just for ciphers. Source: about 1 year ago

• I Taught ChatGPT to Invent a Language

  For anybody interested there is this website which allows you to create a translator for any fictional language of your choice. This slime language created by GPT could fit really well in there. Source: over 1 year ago

• Putting a scammer's message through my intentionally terrible translator

  It's updated frequently, as is the link. You can probably just find the latest version of it if you just go to lingojam.com and select 'browse more translators". Source: over 1 year ago

• Found Something New:

  At the end it kind of sounds like lingojam.com but idk for sure. Source: almost 2 years ago
