Linux is not that old. There’s a reason why the “Actually it’s GNU+Linux…” meme exists, because Linux is built using tools that were already around, he didn’t start entirely from scratch.

If there’s one song that takes me back to GTA Vice City, cruising downtown on a harvey davidson style motorcycle, then it’s “Video killed the Radio Star”, what a tune.

“The American private health insurance industry has ruined countless lives by denying people access to basic care and burying families in medical debt,” said D4 Legal Committee spokesperson Sam Beard in a statement.

Sam Beard of the Party Girls podcast btw.
Here’s a clip of him on CNN.

It’s no less preposterous than claiming you’ll invade an ally if you don’t get your will.

Tbf, disabling systemD autorun is the only thing I’ve ever user kwriteconfig6 for, because with it enabled bash scripts don’t run correctly.

Hvad jeg forestiller mig det her fører til er bare mere skrald i gaderne, for nikotin brugere har jo alle dage været de største svin i offentligheden. Hvis det ikke er røg eller vammel jordbærdampe, så er det filtre og poser overalt. Måske de skulle indføre en smelte-stikpille version med nikotin så slap vi endelig for alt det fis.

Det er en primitiv form for privatlivsbeskyttelse. Det er helt op til dig selv om du vil bruge dit fulde navn eller ej, men jeg foretrækker personligt ikke at modtage eksempelvis opkald fra folk fra internettet der bare kan slå mit navn op på krak.dk. Der er ingen garanti for hvad folk bruger dine oplysninger til, og ikke alle mennesker er lige stabile.
Jeg er også skrevet op på robinsonlisten og skjult nummer for at undgå opkald fra firmaer etc. Og nå ja, har brugt et brugernavn siden 90’erne, så sådan har det bare altid været.

Jeg kan lige forestille mig deres forsvar være noget i stil med “Vi begik kun hit and runs, der blev ikke uploadet en eneste bit for meget efter vi havde hentet det forskningsmateriale vi var ude efter!”

Only thing I’ve had to edit in the terminal in the last several months has been automount on a hard drive.

I just use gnome disks for that. Tbh, that’s the only thing I use gnome disks for.

I don’t mind using the terminal, but how the fuck am I going to remember something like kwriteconfig6 --file startkderc --group General --key systemdBoot false? (In fact, there aren’t even man pages for that command). Like the scribbles of a mad man I’ve had to put down commands like that in a sort of personal instructions manual, because ain’t no way I’ll remember these commands by heart.
And you often end up just saving the most used commands as aliases or functions in the .bashrc meaning you don’t retain the syntax for the commands you use. Well, maybe I’m a unique case of fish memory… The thing about humans is that we greatly rely on our vision, and having GUI’s to show what’s possible greatly improve ones understanding of how to manage it going forward.

Who was the lady that was deaf and blind, and famously overcame those?

Might be Helen Keller, very famous deafblind activist. A quote from wikipedia kind of shows how hard communicating when senses are limited:

The next month, Keller made a breakthrough, when she realized that the motions her teacher was making on the palm of her hand, while running cool water over her other hand, symbolized the idea of “water”. Writing in her autobiography, The Story of My Life, Keller recalled the moment:

I stood still, my whole attention fixed upon the motions of her fingers. Suddenly I felt a misty consciousness as of something forgotten—a thrill of returning thought; and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that w-a-t-e-r meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. The living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, set it free!

Just last week I was looking up ADHD and autism in blind people, but I was also questioning whether blind people could have aphantasia. Or rather, how does blind people perceive roundness or a circle in their mind? They know what it feels like at least, so is it tied to some other sense? I’m guessing blind people have a way of mapping out surroundings and 3D space, but I imagine explaining how a person thinks about stuff like this is as hard to describe as whether two people perceive the same colours the same way.

That sentence just tickles me the right way:

You watch it - and information is revealed

“Bloody Just Stop Oil protesters blocking the road, preventing me to go to work just so they can spread the message that we’re all going to die! I HAVE A MORTGAGE!”

Thanks, this seems like a very thorough description of the situation. My limited understanding of how coding works and has worked through history is like you say “filled with a lot of jank” regarding memory because it was limited but also because compilers weren’t as efficient as they are today. So it makes sense that there are purists that believes the only good code is the one where programmers are in total control of every bit of memory themselves instead of leaving anything to automation.

Wow, DailyRush, det er lang tid siden jeg sidst har skænket den side en tanke. Hvil i fred Jan “Phonetic” de Sousa - DailyRush døde sådan set sammen med ham.

Sidste uge skiftede jeg MX Linux 23.3 ud med Nobara 41 fordi jeg gerne ville prøve en Wayland distro efter et år på X11. Og jeg synes det er skiftet værd, selvom jeg nu skal vænne mig til ækle systemD.

Jeg genså “The Others” fra 2001, og wow, den er stadig glimrende. Selvom jeg kender slutningen så får den mig stadig til at føle mig utilpas. Svært at tro at det var samme år Nicole Kidman også var med i Moulin Rouge!, begge film med en 7,6 point score inde på IMDb.

Pt. kæmper jeg med at få ReShade til at starte, men jeg har problemer med wine - måske et problem med wine mono? Jeg overvejer at installere windows 10 i en virtual maskine sådan at jeg kan kopiere .NET filerne over da det virker til at være problemet… REDIGERET: Viste sig at være et “ICU” problem, jeg skulle bare sætte sproget til Engelsk et sted… kun 7½ times hovedpine

That’s actually really cool. I like that the dev has expressed that he doesn’t want to make the algorithm addictive and just keep it random 😅

Mine is a hack job, mostly a placeholder really,I just took the most used from WinCompose of all places, but have at it.

Who am I to say that one can make a file in the home folder called .XCompose where you can easily input emoticons for easy access using the compose key ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯

Classic. But yeah, that’s how I’m reading the situation as well.
