  • You'll thank yourself for it later. Things like this take a little longer up front but putting them off has a way of making you have to work around it again and again until, when you get around to correcting it, it takes far more time to undo the workarounds than it would've taken to correct it the first time.

  • I don't think you understand what root is. By definition it has those permissions because it's root.

  • If a different user doesn't exist then you obviously can't run the command as that different user. The only solution here is to create a new user account.

    Also your image is improperly configured which is something you should fix first.

  • So I took your advice though I ended up settling on the Kobo Libra 2 and I absolutely love this thing. It has a couple hardware buttons, too. Thanks for the recommendation!

  • I just tell them to install 7zip. I'm not working around your inadequacy.

  • I haven't bought one in like 15 years but modern universal remotes are pretty cool. The Logitech Harmony remotes do all kinds of cool shit, though they require a computer to program and they are not cheap. Then there's always the old dumb universal remotes that get the job done and cost like $10.

  • Those words don't make sense in that order Chinabot.

    Well, unless you're trying to sound philosophical, which would make you worse than a bot.

  • I've always been curious how people who give away software for a living make that living. I have a few OSS projects but I make my living other ways, those OSS projects are hobbies and my living takes precedence every time because I like to eat food and buy things.

    Like they can sell support, but I have never paid for a solution. They can sell packaged solutions, but I can compile it myself. They can survive on donations but, while I have donated to a lot of FOSS projects, I imagine most people don't donate.

  • It's been so long since X broke that most people won't know what you mean by xorg.conf

  • I'll give you that one. I don't know about finding unsecured networks, that would be enough to make me return the TV, but the two Samsung TVs I have take about 30 seconds for their input menus to go away. The menu from my Shield or whatever little device I have on my office TV are loaded, but the "Select your input" kinda menu fills 20% of the screen for about 30 seconds and it's annoying.

    That said.. I'm never in that much of a hurry so it doesn't really bother me (though it is a minor annoyance). I don't blame you if it bothers you, though.

  • The free market works to lower the murder rate. Capitalism ftw.

  • It's not. I just don't connect the wi-fi. TVs usually enter a default state of "just go to the last selected input" which works fine for me.

  • Just buy a TV and don't connect the wi-fi for the smart capability. It's only 90% solved, but as long as it has HDMI inputs and a digital audio out it gets the job done.

  • Oh for sure. If we're talking accessibility then yeah, it's a different ball game entirely. Accessibility for everything is hard. Doesn't mean it shouldn't be done, just saying it's hard.

  • I didn't change my clocks back, I think that happens next week for me, but I'm over the shit. I'd love it if we could just decide to stop doing it.

    However I don't want to be the developer that deals with that change.

  • Not really. You just use whatever difficulty scaling value you'd use for "easy" for specific enemies/encounters.

  • Yes. They murdered children, burning babies and slitting their throats. What heroes.

    Idiot.

  • I knew my little shit was doing that on purpose.

    She fetches without fail, but also without fail I have to get up and walk 3 feet every time she brings it back.
