  • Why? I'm using xterm since 1990, they all are the same more or less

  • I never ever will use a flatpak or snap or whatever "application". I'm using good old .deb package.

  • Why need a headphone jack? You can use the €1 small usb-c to 3.5mm jack and that's it

  • I bought a PoCo F3 2 years ago for something like €279, it is still a bomb, super fast and powerful, but this X6 Pro is tempting!!!

  • Situation is horrible in Montréal and elsewhere in the province. There is something like 13'000 airbnb in Montreal, most of them illegal, and a lot of people are struggling to find a place to rent, price double/triple for some of them. When you had an appt at $685, are evicted, and the equiv appt is now for rent at $1600, what are you going to do?

  • Well, when you buy a house in a floodable area, you are taking a risk, I understand some companies don't want to touch that...

  • When I say to my friends/colleagues that I never used a uber/lyft or airbnb/vrbo or ubereats/doordash/whatever, they look at me as if I was an alien...

    I just take taxi, go to hotels (using the owner site, never a 3rd party), and do groceries and cook at home.

    Am I so out of touch or young people are wrong? :)

  • I'm out of the loop but why do I see this guy (nascar driver?) in meme lastly?

  • oh yes, virtualdub, ffmpeg, all the codec and their option, containers, etc, it was an art

  • Putin seems to have 200+B$ in bank, insane

  • It was perfectly legal. And those protestors asked for things like "no vaccine required to enter USA", Trudeau had nothing to do with that. Those protestors then degenerated into various conspiracy, and basically wanted to remove Trudeau and put a dictator instead. It was almost a coup, not a "protest".

  • I don't really care, for me "linux" is a kernel, a bunch of gnu utilities, and I take Xfce as desktop. I can use firefox? an editor? cmake? gcc? I'm in business.

    All distros are the same. The main diff is apt/yum/pacman/etc. to distribute packages.

  • yes Debian, install latest MX Linux (23.2 AHS) and enjoy it, it's a great distro, up to date, well maintained. There is a KDE version where you can install latest kernel from their AHS repo (6.6.11 as time of writing)

  • Yep, I'm using ctrl-c and q and s and d and z etc for almost 40 years now, it would be difficult to change those habits

  • Were you using Firefox? On my phone, FF browser takes ~5% battery per hour, even if I force close it, there is some background task eating battery. I uninstall it and bam! No more 40% drain during the night but only 2-3% drain in 8 hours.

  • On mine it was playing with some /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-4/power/wakeup or something, (use the right device number from lsusb), also there is some settings in the BIOS to power or not USB when sleeping, obviously if some USB port have no power, wakeup cannot work :) Every setup/BIOS is kinda different though.

    And I have had the same problem as OP with just knocking the desk and the computer wakes up and it is annoying!

    My latest trackball I switched it to Bluetooth mode so when PC is sleeping, no BT at all.

  • I have a Metro at 2 minutes, and a SuperC at 3 minutes. I never go to Metro, it's more expensive than IGA now.
