Do you mean the USB doesn’t show up in the UEFI boot menu?

Are you trying to boot an ISO that uses limine as the bootloader with ventoy?

Apple@lemmy.world•Who thought putting gaps between snapped windows was a good idea?
0·4 months agoThe gap acts as a divider to resize the side-by-side windows at once. Does that work if you turn it off?
Yeah using it for quick tapping something on the screen I can see being faster than the touchpad. I don’t know if it’s worth the fingerprints on the display though personally :^)
I also don’t like Apple’s insistence on telling me what I do and do not want in a product. According to Steve Jobs no one wants a touchscreen on their laptop
Anecdotally, I had a touchscreen convertible laptop before my current MacBook. I even got the pencil for it that let me draw on the screen, which I wanted to use for taking notes. The pencil sucked in practice (this was a >1000€ laptop, not much less expensive than my MacBook! maybe that’s just what I get for buying HP though.) and sooner rather than later I got an iPad for taking handwritten notes, and the touchscreen itself turned out to be a gimmick that I used in the beginning but eventually turned off.
Sometimes, they’re right. For example, kind of the reverse: people wanted floating windows on the iPad for years. I always said this would be incredibly awful to use in practice without a mouse. Now they added windows on the iPadOS 26 beta and I tested it and it was exactly as finicky as I expected it to be. Hopefully they’ll still polish it so that it’s at least as good to use as the old side-by-side view (which they unfortunately removed), but this really isn’t it right now.
People might want a device with all the input methods and the most versatile multitasking, but I don’t think this is reasonably doable in a way that’s as polished as devices built with a main input method and UI purpose-built for that input method. In the past I might have said that Apple are the only people that could do this correctly, and only by investing a significant amount of resources, but after the iPadOS 26 situation… oof.

Programming@programming.dev•Introduction - Steve's Tutorial on jujutsu, an alternative front-end to git
2·4 months agoOh my god this is amazing. Thanks for this.
what happens when you merge two branches of a repo which has several changed submodules in each branch?
I would assume a merge conflict if the submodules were changed in both branches from the base… but it’s probably not that simple, is it? I’ve never tested it.

Programming@programming.dev•Introduction - Steve's Tutorial on jujutsu, an alternative front-end to git
2·4 months agoI use plain git when a project wants to use some tool that itself calls git commands that modify the repo state. You can use a colocated repo in this case (where jj and git commands both work) and nothing will break, but it can mess up your graph, creating duplicate commits which you then have to fix. I’ve seen this with Gentoo’s pkgdev for example.
Git blame and some other graph operations are also just faster right now which is why I sometimes use them in large repos over jj’s equivalent.

Technology@lemmy.world•Cloudflare wants Google to change its AI search crawling. Google likely won’t.English
44·4 months agoGoogle’s bot is fine in my book, their crawler doesn’t absolutely blast your server with web requests like other AI crawlers do. (Speaking of, I need to update my list of netblocks and UAs to get iocaine-holed.)
That said, two evil megacorps potentially fighting? I hope they kill each other.
Ah, so they are actually differences between IPP Everywhere and AirPrint (apart from AirPrint including the whole autodiscovery stuff)? Good to know. The latter is usually more prominently advertised though which is why that’s the one I mentioned.
But yeah, it should be very common for these to be supported with anything remotely recent.

Programming@programming.dev•In Praise of the Contrarian Stack
5·4 months agoYeah, I’m a big fan of Swift so far. All in all it’s a really well-designed language and I’m enjoying writing it. I have some complaints but nothing deal-breaking.

Programming@programming.dev•In Praise of the Contrarian Stack
8·4 months agoI love the Contrarian Stack. For example, my website is built with Typst and Meson, and I’m making an ActivityPub server in Swift with Vapor (that one isn’t too far along yet).

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•What do you think of procedurally generated dungeons?
0·4 months agoI like Shattered Pixel Dungeon, The Binding of Isaac and Lethal Company, so sure they’re great when done right!
They can add a lot of replayability, but they can just as well very quickly make your game suck more than if it had purposefully made levels. (I think a prominent example of bad proc-gen in general is Skyrim’s radiant quests.)
Anything that supports AirPrint (this one does from what it looks like) will work with CUPS driverless printing on Linux.

To boot from external drives, you need to open your UEFI boot menu (press F11 or something like that at boot, it differs for each manufacturer). Limine is the loader installed on your hard drive that comes with your OS, it is for loading that OS.
