It's just that the original timestamps are lost that way. With cp -a I would've kept the original "created on" date. My memory is so shot I can barely remember what I did last week, let alone 42 days ago, whether I copied over those stats or not..
I did go out of my way to check creation date and modified date on those folders to try and assess whether I had copied the statistics over from my distrohop. Might've been old stats plus new, I'm not too sure. I should really start using cp -a instead of just drag'n'drop in dolphin..
EDIT: No I don’t have invites, before anyone asks.
Yeah, this is also a problem though. I'd love to be on a private tracker as I was in the past, but once you're out it's just too much of a hassle to get back in.
That's the spirit!
My rule of thumb has always been to share to ratio 1.1. Side thought: Maybe there's a funny correlation between birthrates needing to be 2.1 for a stable population, the extra .1 to make up for deaths, and well, the 2 is because it takes two to make a baby.
::: spoiler Anyway, since we're all sharing, these are my stats from 41 days ago when I switched to Nobara.

I just looked into how easy it would be to install nvidia drivers on openSUSE and it's not as great as Fedora for comparison, that's one of the only 2 down sides I've found so far. The other downside is a personal preference one, for many it's an upside, and it would be an upside for anyone basing an entire distro on it, and that's how there's nothing fancy installed alongside openSUSE, it's not bloated. No starship prompt in the terminal, no proprietary codecs etc.
I like how openSUSE defaults to a lot of BTRFS subvolumes for almost each important root directory and comes preinstalled with snapper, that's very neat. And it's so nice to use YaST, what a treat. While Fedora does also have patterns, getting to use a graphical installer with YaST is so nice.
I'm glazing a lot for someone that doesn't daily run it, so maybe I should just switch one of these days, haha. Maybe when my Nobara installation dies.
I'm in the kiddie pool, so I do look things up or ask what stuff does. Even though I looked at the man page for printf (printf.3 I believe), there was nothing about %*s for example, and searching for these things outside of asking LLM's is some times too hard to filter down to the correct answer. I'm on 2 lines of code per hour, so I'm not exactly rushing.
Shell scripting is quite annoying to be sure. Thinking of learning python instead.
I get that feeling when I press "report spam" and gmail suggest I "unsubscribe from them", that that's exactly what the spammer want, a ping back so they know I'm susceptible, that I'm an engaging fool, and get put on all the lists.
While LaurieWired isn't a linux youtuber she does use it here and there, and her content is in general very interesting reverse engineering stuff. And I like the Serial Experiments Lain theming she uses, complete with Copland OS in this video, but also other old late 90s early 00s OS'es.
Jill from Destination Linux has already been mentioned, and then the only other linux woman youtuber (edit: I know of) is probably Wendy from Linux Out Loud..
True, in many cases I'm still searching around because the explanations from humans aren't as simplified as the LLM. I'll often have to be precise in my prompting to get the answers I want which one can't be if they don't know what to ask.
I've been using o3-mini mostly for ffmpeg command lines. And a bit of sed. And it hasn't been terrible, it's a good way to learn stuff I can't decipher from the man pages. Not sure what else it's good for tbh, but at least I can test and understand what it's doing before running the code.
It’s possible it’s literally as tight and controlled as getting into and driving a car is.
That's wild to me. I thought there were some international security standards for airports that at the very least logged all pilots taking off. Thanks for the explanation.
