  • The meme is ironic lol. Why would anybody want a shape tool in gimp? Nobody is seriously asking for it. This is a joke that originated with that old greentext about anon getting beat up in the school parking lot for not being able to draw a circle in gimp

  • Hmm almost as if free will isn't some magical ability to remove yourself from any disadvantageous situation, but a fundamental liberty to choose how you act in response to said situation and see in it a metaphysical meaning that transcends cultural ideas like success? Damn, wouldn't that be crazy. If only that was true, could you imagine?

  • No all anti-cheat is something that you need to install. Some anticheat solutions run on the game's servers and analyse player movement to detect common cheats. Those are the ones you don't need to be angry about.

  • The “best” would be some kind of DC to DC converter

    No sense in going dc->ac->dc if it can be helped.

    Most laptop chargers can actually run on DC, and with as little as 48 volts. Here is a german guy demonstrating it. So if your battery bank runs on 48 volts, I think you might be able to just connect it directly to the input of a laptop charger and it will work.

  • No, one directory you need to backup for when things go sideways, and the other can go to /nev/dull.

    This is why so many people have a separate git repository for their config files and a scripts that symlinks or copies those files into the actual ~/.config.

  • Archwiki has a huge list of apps that do this with instructions on how to force them to not do this. You might find it useful.

    Personally though, I've given up on wrangling stubborn apps and just use flatpak and docker for everything. It can't crap in your ~/ if it doesn't have access to it!

  • XDG_DIR, Portals, Secrets, D-Bus, the Desktop file spec, Appstream… are there for you to read. 🥰

    Standard compliance is a total mess in the world of linux desktop apps. My pet peeve is that $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR should point to a customizeable tmpfs that apps can use to store temporary data. But just TRY setting to anything else besides /run/user/1000 lol. Half your apps will be broken. Even apps that are made by/for the freedesktop people (e.g. Helvum, the pipewire patchbay app) struggle with this lol. This spec came out in 2021 -- three years ago -- and it's already ossified to the point of being barely useful. At this point I don't blame devs who say "fuck it" and just dump their tempfiles into /tmp the way god dennis ritchie intended.

  • Huh, TIL

     
        
    ~ $ /bin/true --help
    Usage: /bin/true [ignored command line arguments]
      or:  /bin/true OPTION
    Exit with a status code indicating success.
    
          --help        display this help and exit
          --version     output version information and exit
    
    NOTE: your shell may have its own version of true, which usually supersedes
    the version described here.  Please refer to your shell's documentation
    for details about the options it supports.

    I honestly don't know what I prefer more, the overengineered GNU true, or the true that shipped with some older system that was literally just an empty file with the executable bit set.

  • Strange. I use windows 11 occasionally, and it's never even as much as mentioned onedrive to me. Could it be that it's a cracked install? Or that I never connected the local account to a microsoft account? Or that I'm in the EU?

    Edit: Downvote? Really? Are you really that jealous that my windows experience is slightly less painful than yours!?

  • If you actually read the post, she's not "blasting" her husband. She's seeing him be perfectly content without chasing all those markers of career success, and questioning why she cannot do the same. She's realising that she relies on external validation to feel happy, and that that's not a good thing.

  • I remember a while back, years before this surfaced, there was a thread on /g/ with a group photo of Balena's employees and a caption like "why does it take so many people to develop an electron wrapper around dd". Obviously it was low effort engagement bait (balena does much more than etcher), but the comments were full of people calling the company a glowie honeypot and the like. Moral of the story: Trust the schizos, they sense spyware form lightyears away.
