  • Imagine getting told by a couples therapist that they can’t see your relationship working out… And then you go on a big rant saying how you should still be together?

    Honestly, if someone has to go to couples therapy, they're already at a point where their judgement is written off.

  • I'm guessing the ransomware gangs would be giving better payments than regular companies asking for pen-testing.

    But with this, comes other concerns:

    • Will the pen-tester be enticed to use the "authorised hacking" as an opportunity to install a backdoor of their own or do they maintain strict borders between both jobs?
      • I'm thinking, not so much, as, if they're already doing something illegal, they might as well just go the extra mile.
    • At the same time, pen-testers working for one company might also be used for industrial espionage efforts, by competitors
  • Did you not know?
    You can simply select all files you want to commit, in the File Manager, Ctrl+C, then paste in the terminal and it will automatically add all those file names (full paths) separated with spaces at the cursor. At least in KDE: Dolphin -> zsh + Konsole it does.

    And sure, it might look like 2 extra steps, but you will still be clicking around a lot in case of a GUI anyway.

    I tend to just type partial filenames and use tab completions, which are also pretty configurable. And the only dissatisfaction I have rn, is that I don't have zsh module for completions with pascal case and snake case.

  • That's definitely how it is seen.
    If I were to see "Discard Changes" anywhere in a dialogue, I would assume it will discard whatever changes I made in that dialogue. In this case, probably some source control related changes. If it were to say "Warning: This will Discard ALL changes!!!", I might do a double take, but had I never used git CLI before, I would still assume that at most it would discard "ALL" changes made in the current session.

    For me personally, I would consider it more useful for it to say:

     
        
    This action will delete the following files:
    - followed
    - by
    - a
    - list
    - of
    - files
    - that
    - would
    - be
    - deleted
    Continue?
    
      

    Which neither has to look like a warning, acting like you might be doing something you don't want to and also is much more useful for someone like me who wants to double check what exactly I am deleting.


    Also, I have used git CLI before and apart from being able to see blame in the editor itself and maybe a better representation of tree, I don't feel the need to use any git GUI tool. Even when I tried, I realised it was slower and more finicky to use. So, it would stand to reason that it should be targetted towards people who don't use CLI (and might have never used git CLI).

  • For LibreOffice, I'd go with, worse and better at the same time.

    • I have just noticed, overtime, that it has some problems in some cases, where MS Office does better, while there are certain cases where it does better.

    There are 2 major pain points though:

    1. Calc UI stutters when using the scrollbar with mouse click and drag.
    2. Adding images to files makes the whole thing way slower than acceptable.

    I haven't used it for a few months though, so something might have changed. But the second issue specifically is a long time one.

    On the other hand, the formula usages are much better in Calc. Also, the documents don't get wonky between versions as much as MS Office

  • That's why I keep a pen and paper. For power outages.

    Apart from that, if there's light:

    • some exercise
    • kirigami
    • wash clothes (by hand)
    • eat random (edible) stuff which I would otherwise use to cook
      • cooking needs electricity

    No light:

    • sleep
  • LMDE

    Oops! I thought it was some obscure DE.

    Considering your points, it seems to be most probably some configuration issue.
    Might even be that some of the automated monitor/display configuration tools (might be some GUI settings thing) wonked out and reconfigured something.

    If your system has some shortcut combination for selecting external monitor/connected projector/mirror screen, perhaps you can try that.

    Also, since you mentioned xrandr, I would assume X Session. You can also use xrandr to check and set the monitor configuration. Not just whether it is connected, but also location (left/right/up/down) and screen resolution of each display separately. Perhaps trying those could tell you what is happening.

  • Pretty simple actually.
    Just make sure you don't have any resource worth anything in the international market.

    1. Let stuff like petroleum, Lithium, Uranium and other such thingies be sold to the first bidder.
    2. Have your soil be nuclear contaminated, down to the bedrock, so nobody wants your land.
    • Also, import all nuclear waste from other countries
    1. Have a population that looks as ugly as possible, so noone will want to rape your people.
    • Should be easier considering point 2
    • Something like leprosy in the genitals would help too.
    1. Be absolutely full of population, such that the place is a cesspool.

    Hey, I said it'd be simple, not that it would be easy or even humanly possible.

  • Well, I don't think we have decided on a standard meaning for an upvote in the first place, so we do as we like.
    In the end, it's all about what makes me feel more satisfied.


    I see a blue button, I press it, it goes grey, I'm happy.
