Hey Linux people: is there a good GUI app for making bootable Linux USB drives so I don't have to use the dd command? Ideally something available on most distributions. #linux #foss

EDIT: Should have clarified, not Belana Etcher, it has weird privacy stuff.

Noah Wyle (rightfully) got a lot of praise for playing Steve Jobs in Pirates of Silicon Valley, but John DiMaggio as Steve Ballmer was also fantastic.

"I see a society that is in deep denial about it itself. A culture that prides itself on maintaining centuries-old traditions of honor and integrity, but in reality, it's willing to accept corruption at the highest levels."

The Vision Pro is dead until there is a killer app, like all the ones Apple is blocking with App Store rules, or until there is a model that doesn't cost thousands of dollars. An upgraded version of the existing model solves neither of those problems.

I’ve decided that AI discourse rn reflects the extent to which the author expects to personally benefit from it.

- if you think it’s a meat grinder headed your way, it’s not relevant how good it is at weaving a bolt of cloth

Making some decent progress with a Firefox theme for macOS Tahoe. Still can't do translucency, but I can make a curved toolbar with three stacked background images.

Unfortunately, the PNG backgrounds are blurry on high DPI. Is this when I finally learn Inkscape? 🤔

Coming soon to a Firefox near you. ✨
