My biggest bugbear relating to this is the lack of a short text alternative for QR codes, especially with long URLs.
If the URL is too long to fit into a QR code, then it’s also too long for me to type in manually!


I find it handy for writing down a URL on paper
For first-timers: pick at random and use it until it annoys you. Then you can make an informed decision second (third, fourth, …, nth) time around

Idk if that’s a valid comparison… being a Jehovah’s witness doesn’t save you a penny in software licensing costs


My takeaway from point 1 is to rephrase my advice as a complaint:
“Man, it sucks you have that problem with Windows. I’ve been struggling with a computer problem of my own actually. I’ve been getting really down down thinking about all the Windows users out there who just have no clue about how the power of Linux could change their lives for the better”
Response: “have they tried turning it off and on again?”
No way! I didn’t know you could cycle through the results like that… awesome!

vim.keymap.set("ca", "q!", "echo 'not so fast!'")
PALS webbing and baby equipment is the most natural combination in the world
If it wasn’t olive green, I’d use this for sure
sudoers getting renamed to grownups

Beside the number of permutations it gives, another benefit of using three words is they could form the border of the QR code, with the fourth side being the domain name
