Open up Synaptic, search up all the packages that say stuff about XFCE, mark them for removal, and then apply all the changes.

What's your budget for this project? If you can out-spend the tourism board you can convince everyone your town is bad/the next town over is better.

You could also try making the town unpleasant by, say, opening a coal fired power plant or putting up hundreds of billboards for erectile dysfunction medications. But presumably you also want to live there?

A lot of these telescopes are on top of the tallest mountain around. Which in turn was probably pretty significant to whoever might have been dispossessed of the local area. So they can be surprisingly unpopular.

Like imagine if space aliens showed up, stole all the good land, killed loads of people, and then decided to build tools for their own notion of peaceful scientific exploration on top of Mount Everest, Mount Rushmore, and Half Dome.

Also, that Russian moon lander just crashed, so it could also be some kind of secret space cyber war of countries trying to make each other seem incompetent.

Is it that hard to get into making consumer electronics that this manages to persist?

I think the Hyper stuff is mostly a new name for the same thing.

The real "replacement" might actually be Bluesky though, which is Paul Frazee's new project that he seems to be doing instead.

Reposting from Reddit, a classic scam.

I assume it must have been at some point, but I don't really know.

One day to learn how to make stuff in React, one day to learn the degree to which the React developers despise you.

Usually with cheese.

What do you use to do this?

But you still have to set things up so the jack can be electrically connected to the board, but also waterproofly attached to the frame of the phone. And the jack itself needs to be a good one that has electrical connections between the inside and outside but is internally watertight.

Presumably there are headphone jack engineers out there making this happen.

Yeah! And none of that stuff is actually required to take a good photo/have a decent camera as good as the ones you could buy at the store in 2005. It's all new, optional enhancements.
