I use a KDE variant of this that uses klipper instead (whatever you pipe to this will be available in klipper):

` #!/bin/sh

        function copy {
        if ! tty -s && stdin=$(</dev/stdin) && [[ "$stdin" ]]; then
            stdin=$stdin$(cat)
            qdbus6 org.kde.klipper /klipper setClipboardContents "$stdin"
            exit
        fi
    
        qdbus6 org.kde.klipper /klipper getClipboardContents
    }
    
    copy $@`
  

Why is Tux flipped, is this some sort of subliminal message? Is BigTech behind of this meme?

I suppose it's like asking a biologist what type of dishes would they do with a plant species they just discovered

My bet is that this happened because they do develop both the Enlightenment desktop and the E libraries, which is a tremendous amount of work. Add to that that if they are a small team, they're not going to go relatively fast (afaik E17 took years...). Maybe it was the reason GNOME/GTK(+) and KDE (which began with an already developed GUI library) caught up.

But as I always say in this kind of posts, both Enlightenment and E are amazing and I so wish they were more rich featured and popular and, if I were the XFCE mouse and got fed up with the bullshit of the GNOME-ization/libadwaita-zion of GTK, I'd consider porting all my shit to E - it would be awesome if those two merged into one. GTK and E are both written in C, XFCE has a robust set of apps and a seemingly bigger team behind it...

I don't know about others but I like my phones to actually last.

My previous phone was a Sony Xperia z1. It went with me for more than 7 years working great until I accidentally dropped it and the screen cracked. Changed the screen but it wasn't the same thing and the battery suffered too so decided to get another one, a Xperia 1ii. This november it's going to be 5 years since I got it and it's still going absolutely great.

But on both times they went great not only because Sony happens to make great hardware but because LineageOS - I've used it on other phones since it was CyanogenMod. As not everything in the world is perfect Sony gives no flying fucks about updates so in two years your phone is not going to get more official updates - enter LineageOS, GrapheneOS or what you like. I'm grateful those things exist, have donated to them and it will be very sad if one of those Google stupid movements make them vanish.

The maintainer of X11Libre, Enrico Weigelt, is an anti-vaxer who already got scolded by Torvalds for writing bullshit on the kernel mailing list

Oh, so it's him. Dude got absolutely lucky Linus is on mild mode nowadays. On his prime the scold would've been of such epic proportions all the viruses he could have on his body would've leave him out of pure cringe.

No, because we're telling to use : as a separator with the -F flag

Not sure if I'm understanding, but can't you just pipe the whole thing to awk and capture the first field? Like

echo "/dev/loop0: [2081]:64 (/a/path/to/afile.dat)" | awk -F: '{print $1}'

Which would print

/dev/loop0

I'd suppose if you ask this on KDE Reddit someone with enough time could make something like this with Kvantvm, though the difficult parts would be (1) the web browser theme, and specially (2) the icon theme - I have never ever seen an icon theme like that for Linux

And what do we see? Virtually unchanged phones.

You say this as if it was a bad thing.

Yes, shaving is a chore - when you have to do it on a daily basis.

As a professional bald fart for more than 15 years, one of the reasons I'm thankful to be able to work from home is that I no longer need to shave head+beard on a daily basis. I really dislike the "shade" so always tried to shave as close to the skin as possible, which took me up to half an hour. Now that I have a job I get to look like one of those wojak characters with aggressive baldness and not worry about shaving for days.

Granted, with a safety razor that time came down to like 20-25 minutes and got less nicks than with a disposable razor. But when I had the chance to get a Leaf razor that came down to 15-20 minutes and never got nicks again. And with that one it's like the best of the two worlds - multiple blades to speed and make easier the shaving process and the non-disposable razor with real cheap and superb blades.

It's because they think being dumb makes them tough.

My strongly held suspicion is that it's a form of the dunning-kruger effect. People have a lot of experience using software-A so much so that they tend to overlook just how much skill and knowledge they have accumulated with that specific software. Then when they try software-B they misconstrue their lack of knowledge with that specific software as complexity.

You just answered yourself. They're just tools.

I'm a professional graphic designer and I will never EVER support any initiative trying to get privative support into Linux and this kind of shitty mindset from colleagues actually irks me. I will support any initiative trying to improve what we already have. You don't even need to be a developer nor donate money to help - bug reports and translations are also a thing. That's how we got to get high quality software like Krita, Inkscape or Blender.

It boggles my mind people can bear a device that can end lifes in an instant and feel like they are fun. I guess this is making my unpopular opinion.

Do yourself a favor and hear that cover bit they did for Metallica's "Sad but true". They're pretty good musicians actually but they just choose to do more corny/commercial stuff – which imho is not valid reason for the hate. Sad but true.

Wonder what type of oil his ancestors were using in their cars to do teaching lessons
