When I need it, I know how to pirate, but I am privileged enough in terms of my institution that I can get most of anything I want (I mostly pirate for family needing niche things in engineering, and I am in the humanities).
BUT, I had this one occasion that both validated my feelings about the system and fucking infuriated me. A professor from an institution that did not have the right subscriptions emailed me asking for an article I published, because they wanted to assign it for a seminar, but could not legitimately access it. That made me lose my shit. I didn't get paid, neither did the editors or peer reviewers, but you know, god forbid someone read it for free. Which is when I realized I didn't even have final copy myself, so I had to go to JS**, download it, spend some time cleaning the "downloaded from XYZ.XYZ.XYZ.XYZ address at XYZ institution" footers on the PDF, sent It to them and encourage them to further pirate that shit
Oh holy shit that is music to my ears! Thanks for the translation, I really don't understand much about these graphics issues (only enough to understand it was potentially vaguely related to this problem)
Sorry to be that guy lol... But what does this mean in English?
Does it help me as someone with an NVIDIA card on Plasma 6 who sometimes has to jump back into an X11 session to get some software to behave, or I completely misunderstood?
I use it to bridge Whatsapp, SMS, signal, and to receive any incoming messages on my inactive Instagram and Facebook Messenger accounts ( sometimes people contact me there). It's a pretty nice client app, I use it on desktop too. I guess I never think about iMessage until I see reactions coming in as text haha
Yeah, I totally understand how it's necessary across many parts of the US. There's so much I couldn't have done in high school, like having a job, if I couldn't drive. I didn't live in a rural area, but between the sprawl and lack of public transportation...
Yeah, I assumed most of the world was at least 18. I was surprised when I moved to the US at 15 and could get a learner's permit and drive with an adult, and drive by myself at 16.
Oh man, I just got super invested into it a few months ago, bummer. Well, I guess I am sticking with it though for now, works well enough for me as-is, and hopefully the guys that are organizing the fork of it are successful!
I am really happy with Trilium. Powerful enough to do lots of things, simple enough to just take notes. The install comes with some neat templates for the advanced stuff. Running on docker on my Synology, I can use the web UI there but I prefer the desktop client.
Just started on EOS this week after running Manjaro a few years back and then running Debian derivatives for a few years. I really like it, everything has been so smooth (well, other than some minor issues with upgrading to Plasma 6 yesterday I suppose, but that's not in EOS I suppose). I was a little bit lazy about learning the ins and outs of pacman and yay, but I immediately found pacseek, which has been a pretty nice TUI package manager
Yup... I have made so many little bash scripts to do tweaks or customize new Linux installs for me using ChatGPT. I mean, I have coding experience (.NET, not much with bash) and could muddle through learning bash better and making those, but this is quicker and allows me to learn in the process by asking follow up questions about syntax and core Linux concepts.
I did a nozzle cam setup with a cheap borescope out of eBay once, and definitely loved watching that first layer. Eventually it gave in to the heat and I haven't bothered to replace yet though. Also multiple cameras on octopi was a bit of a pain to set up when I did it, but that was 2-3 years ago
My experience since I began using Linux full time for my main desktop, chronologically: Manjaro, Kubuntu, Debian stable, Debian testing, endeavourOS. Started EOS a week ago and I was shocked by how well everything worked out of the box. A bunch of things I had to tweak and fix before, like messing with NVIDIA drivers among other things, just worked perfectly out of the box. I tried it on a lark after borking something on my Debian system, kinda reluctantly since I had already made a massive script for customizing my Debian based KDE installs, but in the end I didn't even feel like I needed it because it all just worked fine without all my scripted workarounds for everything. Really impressed. I just got the plasma 6 update a couple of hours ago and it's mostly fine, dealing with a couple of issues before deciding whether I hit that timeshift restore and wait some more

Awesome Can't wait to have all the pieces in place for explicit sync. It will require the Nvidia 555 driver, right?
