It's a sure fire way to get your uni submission incorrectly flagged as plagiarism. How straightforward it is to prove you're the original author varies by institution.


once the essay is already graded, it should not matter. and less as time passes.

on the contrary i thought any essay, paper or report written for uni or school can be considered for publication in some form. not everything is worth publishing of course, but if it is, talk to your supervisors about it.

Isn't self promotion frowned upon on lobste.rs?


I'm with you on the sunsetting of ChromeOS, but I'd like to offer a counterpoint to your experience of the Duet. I've been using the newer Lenovo Duet 5 with PostmarketOS[0] (linux for ARM) as a daily driver for more than a year and it is almost always great (minus no functioning webcam, which is abysmal anyways)!

Presumably having to carry two phones?


Don't know whether you're on Android but Gadgetbridge[0] might be the answer to your Fossil app woes

Thanks!


This gave me a remarkably good suggestion. I will certainly be looking into more of the gnod products (https://www.gnod.com/)


Did you consider using sway[1] as your window manager? From what I understand wayland is better equipped to deal with modern displays and touchscreens. (although it is still more complex to do certain tasks like screensharing).

Thanks for this suggestion, to be really honest: I simply didn't know about Sway. At this moment I am experimenting with using the tablet with a Surface Dock, connecting it to different external displays. The way Sway can handle different scale/DPI's per display seems very useful. I will absolutely give it a try!


This seems like a great idea (I had something similar built on a personal level using org-mode)! Luckily, I've just managed to find myself a position, but this would have seriously helped me.


Thanks! Yea this was my solution after trying a ton of different ways to keep track of applications I sent. I'm a compulsive note taker and try to prepare questions & answers for all the individual interviews. Made a mess of it using Evernote


Don't XMPP and Matrix somewhat overlap it functionality. What was the thought process behind implementing both?


In short: I don't want/need to pick up winners. The operational costs of running one service or the other (or both) are pretty much the same, so I'd rather let the users figure out what suits them best.


Do you have your passwords in plain text in your home folder? It seems like Pass (https://www.passwordstore.org/) would solve this problem in a more secure fashion.


yes, cause they're secure in a root file and you need my password to read.

also you need my password to boot my laptop and to decript my hard drive, so I'm safe.

this is just a quick way of copy and paste password without them to a third-party app
