Thanks! That explains it! Here's the image you linked for people who don't want to visit MSN
I really dislike it when people slather AI upscalers onto images for no reason. Very rarely does it improve the perceived quality of the image, most of the time it just changes your reaction from "wow, this is a low-res photo" to "wow, someone tried upscaling this low-res photo". Here it somehow made the image even worse
Yeah, what's up with that? At first I thought it was a weird camera/filter, but the more I look the worse it gets. What are those... powerlines? in the background on the right? Why are they next to a building/tree hybrid? What is the flamingo looking thing behind him? What logo is on his cap? Am I paranoid!?
I don’t want to waste time and memorize idiotic noodles of commands to do trivial shit.
Also it’s not “unfamiliar” GUI. It’s called practical deduction.
Can you not see how the two arguments you're making are completely contradictory and self-defeating? Nobody is asking you to memorize "noodles of commands". What, do you think we all have little books full of shell one-liners for every task imaginable? You just have to know a few basics: The pipe redirects data, cut splits lines of text, xargs builds up arguments raw text, etc. Put them together in whatever way you wish to accomplish the task at hand. It's -- exactly as you say -- practical deduction.
When they went to school, my mother learned how to use a sewing machine, my father learned basic carpentry, and they both learned how to shoot and maintain an AK-47. Although the UUSR may not have been the perfect paradise that many people make it out to be, it does feel like modern school systems could learn a thing or two from the communists.
I love how "solarpunk" is such a broad aesthetic that it encompasses both zero-waste high-tech hydrogen powered biocities as well as scrappy revolutionary village communities where people cook food on solar ovens made from shattered car mirrors and fashion antennas out of coat hangers. It can be both hi-tech or lo-tech, as long as the tech exists in harmony with humankind and with nature
Damn, sounds impressive! The experience that inspired this meme for me was swapping the buttons in my mouse for newer ones from a dead donor mouse, which admittedly took much less than 2 hours haha
I don't mean "redditor" as in a literal reddit user, but as a general insult. The type of person that has nothing better to do than to convince elementary schoolers that apple cores are poisonous... which they are, but not enough to be dangerous. And being pedantic about that sort of technicality is what makes someone a "redditor" to me.
Protip: while the "in one bite" part might be challenging, nobody is stopping your from eating your apples completely, including the core. It's as tasty as the rest of the apple, and the stuff about apple seeds being dangerously poisonous is just some bullshit made up by redditors. Be free! Eat the core!
It would take you less time to put together that one-liner than to find the correct button in an unfamiliar gui. How exactly does that prove your point?
This is such a stupid take. Gui obscures the thing that you want to do behind endless buttons and menus and some bullshit that some self-proclaimed "user experience engineer" thought would be "intuitive". With cli it's like you're talking directly to the computer. Want to stop the networkingservice? service networking stop. Couldn't be simpler!
Also fun fact, Linux has a “wireless devices” tool, command line one and it uses device ID to apply it and the fucking ID changes every time for the device so you can’t make a permanent setting.
Are you talking about rfkill? Strange, for me the ID's don't change. But even if they do for you, what's stopping you from getting the ID just by grepping for the device name? Something like rfkill list | grep YOUR_DEVICE_NAME | cut -d ':' -f 1 | xargs rfkill block.
And when you actually go and read the man page, it says some shit like "Some of these options are not fully documented. For an accurate description of their functionality, consult the source code"
btw do you know why it was decided to treat the r-word as an ableist slur? And why didn't they also make "idiot" a slur, since it has basically the same etymology? Is this a lemmy-specific thing? I've never seen anyone use or interpret the r-word as a slur outside of lemmy
export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 is one of those magical make-everything-better incantations that really makes you wonder why the fuck it isn't the default behavior
More like "didn't exist, but was okay even if it did" lol.
