If I would write about this topic as I feel about it this would end in extreme hate-speech about the demographics who eat them and those who do those unbelievable deeds. It's a beyond vile, absolute devoid of any value, twisted & sick industry. Just read the wikipedia entry for shark-finning.

In addition to causing immeasurable suffering and death to a mindboggling number of sharks, with up to 70-80% reduction within a lot of shark-species, they're setting the fate of other marine ecosystems too...

The main task of sharks is to balance out those systems by hunting too numerous species. A Sea-Wolf. Now there's a constant flow of rotting shark carcasses which will possibly let the wrong species thrive which won't be regulated anymore. But those 400 million years old species time has come anyway in the very near future because it won't have anything to regulate anymore.

Look up what happened in Yellowstone with the reintroduction of the wolf (that was killed off previously in 1930) and the resulting self-regulating system. In the adjacent Montana they shoot up to half of the wolf population and in surrounding states the "game" is coyotes and foxes. With cruel traps like sadistic trappers do. Now they have to mow down super-boar herds with MGs. Instead of finding better ways to co-exist with natures ranger-creatures which are doing a way better job in Yellowstone than hunters.

It's the wolfs merit that beavers, foxes, songbirds and willows came back just by regulating elk and deer populations. But in a completely different way than hunters. Disclaimer: I'm from Europe and only read up on that so I may have recited a few things incorrect.

Don't wanted to discuss this topic and I don't expect an answer. Just wanted to vent.

I can't answer your question and wikipedia doesn't as well. I guess it has something to do with speed. Would fit those pieces of walking excrements who run that industry.

No probs. I'll post it on waifuhunter.club. It's the only server I'm on. Elsa content is allowed and wanted there so if you got fresh stuff...sharing is caring, k?

Rejoice folks. I think I found a retoot on Mastodon. Direct image-links should work as it's all within the fediverse, right?

This helps for sure. And this. Those pesky coyotes seem get along also too well. Time for some harvesting (sic!) and then get out those ARs and gatlings we still have some boar families to massacre.

Yes there are singular cases where wolves can change a whole ecosystem for the good, but what about muh crops and livestock.

It's been nearly 4 years since I last used Manjaro and I had that error quite often around ever ½-¼ a year in my 2 years of Manjaro. iirc to resolve it I had to uninstall the current nvidia driver > restart without driver > install supported kernel > install driver. Don't know what I did wrong tho.

Manjaro did otherwise a good job to keep the sys together.

What bugged me a bit was the painfully long retention of the big KDE updates. At that time KDE was making big QOL leaps and quite a few distros had those updates already. But I could also live with that.

In the last month of my time with Manjaro a few Proton games dropped frames heavily and that's the end of the story. Made the switch to Arch and never had probs with nvidia again, apart from when new Steam UI came out.

Ah thanks for letting me know. Scrambled sounds dire. Spreadsheets or documents?

Thought the devs nailed it pretty good. At least I never saw differences in my not overly complicated letter layouts when I opened them in MS Office.

Though I had your use-case just with a few rather simple spreadsheets I got from colleagues for me to modify and send back, they never complained.

Anyways I'm glad I don't have to do with office products very often but I'll look into OpenOffice as well. Looks indeed very good. Like a streamlined and modern MS Office without ribbons.

OnlyOffice is mentioned so rarely but it has an UI much more resembling the ribbon based MS Office and in my experience a good compatibility with docx and xlsx files. Don't know what's happening when confronted with macro-monsters though.

Downgrading seemed really easy to me with the mentioned downgrade script. With the IgnorePkg option in pacman.conf it won't get updated. I did it with nvidia drivers when Steam pushed their new UI and nvidia drivers weren't ready for that.

What's dissapointing about the fix? Does its job or not?

yay SEARCHTERM

It spits out all the packages with SEARCHTERM in its name or description. The packages are listed like "REPO/PACKAGE" , where REPO tells you if it's from the official repos (core/extra/multilib) or from the AUR.

Then pick the number of the package from the list and that's it.

If you want to update all your packages, even the AUR ones just enter yay and press enter on the follow-up questions. If you update with pacman -Syu then AUR packages won't get updated.

Also Octopi is a nice frontend for yay and pacman. Not as fancy as Discover or Pamac but it does its job well.

I just installed Nextcloud on Arch and the official packages caused the most headaches I ever had within my 3 years of arch. In contrast I installed the official Jellyfin and Prometheus Server packages and they ran OOTB.

I ended up with not using the official packages but extracting the tar.bz2 into /var/www/nextcloud and slightly modifying the nginx config from their site. I had to move the inclusion of the MIME-Types file to a different block for nextcloud to deliver its CSS, SVGs and images. It wasn't exactly straight-forward too considering permissions. I found it a beast compared to many other server software.

From my experience (2 years Manjaro, 3 years Arch) it's the other way round. Manjaro presented me with a terminal way to often after Nvidia updates. Never had that on Arch. Especially the Nvidia updates are very reliable. I don't know what people do with their Arch installations. Mines rock-solid for the 3 years now. Possibly the most stable distro I ever used.

But I understand that you just can't advise newbies to install Arch, even when archinstall is relatively easy to use. Maybe EndeavourOS which brings a lot of convenience features and a graphical installer to the table. A fellow linux newb is running it without problems for a year now.

That's not just YT. A lot of services and apps (e.g. amazon or xitter) you're logged into and share links from add parameters (stuff behind the questionmark) to the link that identify in the end who has shared it.

Try to shave off as much as possible from a shared link and test if it still works. To get a feel for what you can delete from the link, try to navigate to the destination (e.g. YT-video) inside a browser with which you're not logged into that service and which has preferrably cleared its history, cache etc. Then compare the link from that browser with the one from the browser you're logged in with.

At least FFB for my basic saitek gamepad works out of the box in proton games and even in some emulators like dolphin. Haven't had steering wheels or pedals but always wanted. They are surely a different beast to reverse engineer. I have no doubt racing gear manufacturers will increasingly take care of linux compatibility with the momentum in linux gaming. And then there are all these OSS wizards already working on the most exotic HW. SteamDeck I don't know. I don't see that many linux steamers sadly.

I'm a bit of a reverse engineer myself (insert william dafoe meme) and had a successful pull request for controlling rgb lighting on my headset. Nothing compared to steering wheels or the like but I never did reverse engineering before and knew just a little C and it worked and was fun. Thing was I needed Windows to monitor the USB data when switching stuff in the OEM software.

Yeah it's great. I use it for youtube and twitch and I don't need more than the volume, mute, forward/backward and fullscreen keys to use it. Never touched Lua. Do you use it with MPV yourself?

This comment explains Egypts stance it in the last paragraph.

Thanks for understanding. Didn't want to disrespect your inclination to Firefox. Everyone should use what they like best. And I sure don't want to sound preachy...but...YOU'RE MISSING OUT BIG TIME! Can I come in for just a moment to tell you about your path to a better life?

"Simple things should be simple but complex things should be possible" (Alan Kay)

Vivaldi's UI is pretty minimal by default and can be minimized even more. Heck you even can hide the tab- and url-bar and completely navigate with F2. You can call it a day and keep using it like that or you go on to create mouse gestures, quick commands or themes, you set the key combos, configure the look of your speed dial and add search engines. That's my last try, Neo. Do you take the red or the blue pill?

Windows 7 is yolo for a business. Support ran out in January 2023. But I guess it's some hardware it needs to support, right?

Had that for a few years in my life too. The enterprise ran on Windows Server, MS Dynamics, MS VPN, Exchange etc. and the Dynamics Server could not be upgraded for years because so much depended on it. It was a tremendous effort to do it at the end.

I already used QEMU which was a heck more complicated than VirtualBox, although I got MacOS Big Sur running with acceptable speed at the end. Sadly no-joy with NVidia single GPU passthrough in the apple garden. But I plan to do it for Windows 10 because I want that fucking 1TB NVMe that the big ass of my Windows install is hibernating on for the second year.

What GPU are you using and if it's Nvidia, was it difficult to enable?
