  • my memories are kinda foggy, but using Plus! in 98, some themes (like the space one) did change the dialog images, too, didn't they? (so the info bubble, red circle X, yellow triangle exclamation mark etc)

  • Rap was important and had a clear goal; to inspire afroamerican people, kids to learn, to live their life and fight for their rights. to get up from the ghetto, to keep on going, make them see they aren't alone, they have their backs by the community. (In the US)

    this all was rather successfull.

    but then, I don't know what rap's function is today. if there is any... so what you are saying, I can aggree with it, but I tend not to forget what was the original goal of this genre, and this is why I can't completely dismiss rap.

  • don't get me wrong, by no means this isn't shitty, it is.

    I'm just saying Windows too always had its tinkering with the registry or in text files, you just normally did that on the GUI or used EDIT.

  • Struggling with INI and SYS files are also kinda the same, but you are right, it was a far stretch

  • I mean, fucking with the registry was always a thing in windows

  • NVU, Dreamweaver were tried to be like this. Only thing that wysiwyg'ing HTML isn't that easy as one might think, especially nowadays where thousands of web css frameworks exists and every structuring is done via divs.

    You could make your own framework, or select/import one you like, but then the app will have way too much parameter, which needs to be configured by the user. It would be a really neat power tool, though.

    ps.: Funny thing I was just thinking about wysiwyg editors in the recent days 😅

  • I used mostly Windows systems primarily and I guess I just adapted that habit of having an Administrator account for when shit goes down, and my own user account that has admin rights.

    It's just convenient. I liked my Administrator account as clean as possible, and I do the same in Linux with root. There is its time and place where I need root.

    But you are right, I should change my habits. I'm not even sure how sudo and rights and environments and sessions and god knows what works exactly behind the scenes, so probably, maybe, there are technical differences too in the way I use these and the way how I should... I don't know.

    Anyway, thanks for the info.

  • is your hdd/ssd healthy?

  • I guess she got used to the sight of drawn animals in gimp suit on my screen by that time

  • Download the image again and/or try a different pendrive, different hole on computer.

    Check MD5 sums of downloaded ISO if they provide you a sum on the webpage

  • I don't know if this memory of mine is real, or just a (day)dreaming or my brain just fucks with me, or just too much acid, but I clearly remember lots of years ago I opened GIMP and the splash screen had this fox IN A FUCKING GIMP SUIT!

  • a long time ago I've heard that maybe the only reasoning behind the "K" is that it comes before "L" in the alphabet (L, cause of "Linux")

    Idk how true is this, but I've found this "explanation" amusing.

  • it seems the internet has been geared towards people that think you have to ask the computer a question instead of searching for key words like how it used to work.

    I mean, this is what we see/read in sci-fi series and movies at least since the 60's.

  • oh wow, I did not know this

    but that’s a pretty unusual setup

    Nor this, but you are right if I think about it.

  • editing files in a root desktop session with a GUI editor does count as cheating in this case?

  • I mean it's Debian, it's stable, it should work without ever updating your system :P

    (though one could always log in as root in a separate session, too...)

  • welp, I still need to add myself to the sudo group and sudoers file, and that's something I need a root shell for. (unless I always miss some options during setup to make my user automatically a sudoer)

  • Make her life a living hell. Make the company also notice, that there's something isn't just right, but it won't work if you won't make a scene. But only if they are satisfied with your work.
