And I'm on 6.5 right now running the Mint Edge ISO edition on Mint 21.3

It's so exquisitely stupid to deploy an unproven and very-well-known-to-fuck-up solution at this kind of scale and importance. It really drives home how science and technology communication are crucial and that the recent hype around "AI" (what a fucking misuse of the phrase; it's a very complex weighted plinko board) was criminally negligent.

I didn't realize people were hating on Timberlake, but I did find this

You can customize this in the Keyboard > Shortcuts settings

What is the benefit of putting a git repo site on activity pub? It's not like the underlying git repos are shared that way. I don't get why this would be a lift for hosted repositories. I'm certainly not storing my code on Jim's basement server.io

Mullvad provides DNS servers: https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls

As for a fallback option, I'd go with cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 over google's offerings: https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/what-is-1.1.1.1/

This is the dumbest thing I've read this year.

These things are not mutually exclusive. The fact that Russian propaganda bots swayed a large percentage of American republican fascists in no way debunks the bots. It just means that it was an effective propaganda campaign.

btop for system resource monitoring, htop for actually finding and killing processes

It doesn't really matter which distro you use, all hail the Arch wiki!

PS: if you use ddg, !aw is your friend here

They're literally doing that right now, though

Go easy on the thesaurus, kid.

Always the hallmark of a real contender. Oh, did I say "hallmark"? Hope that doesn't cause you to stumble. "Stumble" means to trip while walking; in this case it's a metaphor for thinking.

Hope that was clear enough for you.

Nice strawman argument

Huh. Considering the primary point of the video was how open signups are bad, I don't know why you contradicted your comment on the other thread and said this video has no valid point.

So nice self-contradiction I guess?

Lol, if you think that absolutely open sign ups on instances isn't a problem, then thanks for advertising the bankruptcy of your opinions

Respecting democratic norms is very important. That said, I don't know that citing US imperialist clout is the best way to get the so-called American "left" behind the incumbent administration if said voter were already looking elsewhere or not planning to vote

Yeah, I use Mint and the Arch wiki is still one of my first stops when I have an issue

kitty requires its terminfo be set properly on the remote host. Its best to use the ssh kitten (I have it aliased), though it's only technically required the first time on any particular box/instance. See this issue in the FAQ: I get errors about the terminal being unknown or opening the terminal failing or functional keys like arrow keys don’t work?

PBS NOVA is great. That playlist has 20 documentaries on it about a range of topics, most just under an hour long, one that is just under two hours long.

Also, how do you go about migrating your old config and rc files? Start fresh or just copy em over and make adjustments where necessary?

I keep all of my important configs and dot files in a git repo. When setting up a new system I clone that repo and then symlink to them in the appropriate places
