In my experience, all the Linux documentation I have read has been written for peers of Linux developers, who are familiar with technical terminology and several concepts and steps are left out and implied rather than explained.
It’s a way for developers to ensure that Linux never receives adoption past other developers. Literary equivalent of pulling the ladder up.
Reign of Kings, a medieval online PvE survival game had a bug where the 360 rotation camera could be used in 3rd person mode to look inside of walls of other players. You could even access their chests if they built them against the wall (which they all did).
This meant that you could loot everyone’s bases without even breaking in. The game went through several major updates with this bug still in place. My brother and I used it extensively.
One day there is a major update and the release notes mention about how they have now finally fixed the “glitch where players items disappear from chests when placed near walls”.
So from this thread it looks like I need to disable this font. I'm not able to as it gives me errors :/
I'm going to restart and see if I still get these errors.
Edit: still have the errors. Nuking this install because I’ve exhausted all troubleshooting. Moved all files to new user and redownloaded and configured my apps. Gives me an excuse to start fresh because the home folder was getting cluttered.
I’ve been self hosting Nextcloud for over a year now. Fantastic. It’s like OneDrive. Syncs all my files on my computers so I’ve got multiple backups on different machines with one central location (the server running Nextcloud).
Tons of plugins and documentation, so any errors you may have are easily fixed. Haven’t had it mess up on me once. It just works.
I think you overestimate the average persons need to configure their computers. Most people just use a web browser, email, and maybe some light gaming. No one new to Linux is going to be really upset that they can’t do complex system operations on the command line.
I had a dream I was within the blast radius of a nuclear bomb. My skin vaporized and it felt very cold for a very split second then it felt like all of my body just split apart and went everywhere all at once. Too quick to hurt.
I became sand and my awareness was everywhere in a pile. I had no bodily awareness and nothing felt like anything. I just felt an odd sense of calm and coziness. Time went on maybe but sand just shifted and moved. Peaceful and weird.
If it has the equivalent to the shape tool in Illustrator I’ll throw money at Inkscape. All my quick and dirty vector art comes from that tool. Merging shapes is zen 🧘
I love chmod 777. It’s like not wearing a condom. It’s more convenient and feels so much better and I’m definitely gonna get a bug or something eventually. Yolo.
Agreed. I was at a party and I got blackout drunk and regained my awareness as I was sitting on a log barfing. To my right is a psychology student holding my shoulders and stroking my hair. She then walks me home, invites herself in, empties the entire contents of her purse in my shared living room, then takes me back to my room and rides me for an undisclosed amount of time.
