    aside from your opinions on cursing, mocking people for being fat is not cool.

    just like people are born with different hair color, people's bodies look different. You can't tell based on somebody's body type whether they're living as healthy as they can.

    Some people could have illnesses that make them fatter. Some people are just fat and healthy. In all cases, you should not mock people for being fat.

    for matrices, the best I've come up with is either a nested list approach like A = [[a, b], [c, d]] or a maybe this

        +-    -+
        | a  b |
    A = |      |
        | c  d |
        +-    -+

    Trees in raw text - how about matrices ?

    I think this might be relevant for this community :) I learned of a nice way to notate trees in raw text. It is as follows: ``` -a | +-aa | | | +-aaa | | | +-aab | +-ab | +-aba | +-abb ``` I hope this example demonstrates it fine :) I was wondering though - Are there any good ways to notate matrices in raw text ? Please share, if you have any notation for matrices or other nice ways to notate stuff in raw text :)

    I try to be ready to leave, meaning dressed and bag is packed, as early as possible. I am for being as ready as possible at least 15 minutes before I leave. I add and subtract minutes depending on how important the event is and how much I need to have checked before leaving.

    also, I try to aim for being at least 10 minutes early for most events. this is working very good for me. it allows small talk with other people who've arrived and it allows time for being late.

    it is time consuming, but I've come to enjoy the breaks it gives, before leaving and when arriving early ^^

    also, thinking through what I need to prepare before leaving as early as possible. Often, I think about it the afternoon before I have to pack.

    good luck :)

    //edit:

    these systems don't stop me from getting distracted and forgetting things, but because I've moved everything 15 minutes earlier, then when I'm late for my own deadlines, often I'll still make it to the actual deadlines :)

    thanks for the answer :)

    I just tried to remove and insert the wifi adapter, and now the dmesg has a message about loading a driver :)

    for some reason, it loads the old driver still. rtw_8821cu instead of rtw_8821au. I'm a tad confused, but I'm happy it's working :)

    thanks a lot for the help :)

    it does not show up from ip link show.

    what does it mean, that it is not initialised ?

    //EDIT:

    I ran a script called remove-driver.sh from the driver that I used to use (https://github.com/morrownr/8821cu-20210916) and now the wifi adapter is up and running again :)

    Thanks a lot for the help - I'm not really sure, what was wrong, but I'm very thankful for the help :)

    Was the problem, that I had a bad driver installed ?

    [SOLVED] Wifi adapter suddenly stopped working after 1 year

    //Solution: I installed this driver (https://github.com/morrownr/8821au-20210708). The driver however, did not work until I ran a script called ```remove-driver.sh``` from the driver that I used to use (https://github.com/morrownr/8821cu-20210916). Then the wifi adapter started working again :) Thanks a lot for the help - I am still not really sure what the problem actually was, but I'm very thankful for having my internet connection back :) //Original post below: Hey :) I've been using a wifi adapter for my computer for about a year. A few days ago, it suddenly stopped working. It no longer shows up when I run 'nmcli device' in the terminal. When running 'lsusb' it still shows up as 'Realtek Semiconductor Corp. 802.11ac NIC'. To my knowledge I hadn't updated anything before it stopped working. After it had stopped working, I used usb-tethering from my phone to do a system update, hoping it would fix the problem. I think one of the updates was a linux firmware update. Anyways, it didn't fix anything. The adapter didn't work out of the box. It arrived with a driver called 'RTL88x2BU' and a document stating that it was compatible with the following chip drivers for linux: RTL8811AU RTL8811CU RTL8812BU RTL8814AU I couldn't get the driver it arrived with to work, so instead I downloaded this driver and have been using it until it stopped working. https://github.com/morrownr/8821cu-20210916 this driver only states that it supports some linux kernel version. I'm using '6.8.0-40-generic', which it does not claim to suppport. I download this driver, which should support my kernel, but it didn̈́'t work either. https://github.com/morrownr/8821au-20210708 I've tried running lsmod on my system, and it seems to be, that no wifi driver even starts. The only thing I can remember doing just prior to my internet not working, was running 'systemctl disable jellyfin.service'. I doubt that has anything to do with this, but I'm not sure what else it could be. My only other theory is, maybe the usb wifi adapter hardware just gave up. Any help is appreciated \^\^

    I think that might happen more often on mastodon, since if you reply to a thread there, it gets boosted to all your followers.

    It might be interesting to add a sorting method to Lemmy, that would bump posts every time a comment is added.

    Perhaps something to turn on for each community individually ?

    An unhealthy lifestyle can cause you to get fat but being fat doesn't necessarily mean you live an unhealthy lifestyle.

    The focus should be on the lifestyle and not on how people look.

    That is a myth - for many people, trying to lose weight is counter productive to living a healthy life.

    Sometimes sick people are/get fat and sometimes being fat can strain the body. But trying to make your body thinner than it wants to be is also associated with strain on the body.

    I am not trying to say, that fatness and health are totally unrelated, but the correlation is not as important as our culture makes it out to be.

    This article explains it quite nicely.

    You can be fat without eating too much and it is okay to be fat.

    For some people being fat is like being red-haired, just genetics and for others it might be caused by illness. In all cases, fat people still deserve respect.

    I say this because stupid myths about and prejudice against fat people cause a lot of harm and even death.

    All the visuals in the video seem to be generated by AI.

    The video lists no sources, the claims are ridiculous and I couldn't find anything to support the theory or even the existence of anything mentioned in the video.

    I like to collect mugs - nothing better than drinking your morning coffee from a crazy mug :))

    I collect mugs with my boyfriend (and the rest of my collective) and it is such a nice hobby. I can almost always guess who brought the mug into the house, based on people's interest.

    Yesterday I drank coffe from a Friday the 13th Mug and I know one of my collectivists loves that series :))

    the only issue, as with all collections, it takes up so much room in the kitchen 🥲

    I've worked in shipping for a couple months and I can only say this: People should order way less stuff online or make sure they are using an ethical shipping company (if they even exist).

    the industry prays on young people (often minorities) who have trouble getting other jobs. they almost exclusively hire people with short term contracts (because your body can't take the work for more than a few months). I've been part of a union for a long time and I know a lot about work safety. These companies teach people nothing and they can only meet their deadlines if people actively break their backs twisting around, doing unsafe lifts and generally working to fast.

    I get that shipping is sometimes necessary, but it can only be as fast and cheap as it is, because poor people pay with their bodies.

    Hey :))

    Most of my setup is based on this very excellent guide on the subject (https://blog.trinket.icu/articles/writing-your-first-kakrc)

    Some key features I'd like to single out:

    For looks I have few important parts, but I do have:

    add-highlighter global/ number-lines -hlcursor -relative -separator "  " -cursor-separator " |"
    add-highlighter global/ show-matching
    set-option global ui_options terminal_assistant=none
    

    For function, I have:

    • Cycle trough auto-complete suggestions with tab is such a nice feature
    # Cycle autocomplete with tab
    hook global InsertCompletionShow .* %{
        try %{
            exec -draft 'h<a-K>\h<ret>'
            map window insert <s-tab> <c-p>
            map window insert <tab> <c-n>
        }
    }
    hook global InsertCompletionHide .* %{
        unmap window insert <tab> <c-n>
        unmap window insert <s-tab> <c-p>
    }
    
    • Quickly move between open buffers by pressing space + b/n/m
    ## Buffer navigation
    map -docstring "Close current buffer" global user b ": db<ret>"
    map -docstring "goto previous buffer" global user n ": bp<ret>"
    map -docstring "goto next buffer" global user m ": bn<ret>"
    
    • Copy to and paste from system clipboard (this might need altering depending on which app you want to use for clipboards. I use xclip)
    ## Copy to and paste from system clipboard
    map -docstring "Copy to system clipboard" global user y "<a-|> xclip -selection clipboard<ret>"
    map -docstring "Paste from system clipboard" global user p "<a-!> xclip -o -selection clipboard<ret>"
    
    • Comment and un-comment lines by pressing <c-v>
    ## Comment lines
    map global normal <c-v> ":comment-line<ret>"
    
    • I really like the ability to quickly insert new-lines
    ## Insert newlines
    map -docstring "Insert newline above" global user [ "O<esc>j"
    map -docstring "Insert newline below" global user ] "o<esc>k"
    

    I have some other stuff in my kakrc too, but that is for more specific use cases :))

    Any good beginner guides for identifying broken parts in a desktop computer ?

    I've recently bought a used computer, and it has a few problems. I'm looking for a guide to help me identify which parts are causing the problem. I've tried to watch and read a few guides on how to build a pc, but they haven't given me any information on how to identify broken parts. I'm interesting in a guide, but I'll also post my specific problems, if any of you know how I might fix them \^\^ the problems I'm experiencing are the following: the screen will sometimes glitch out with black areas when watching movies, but only when in fullscreen. The problem usually disappears for some time when exiting and re-entering fullscreen mode. The computer won't run certain drivers and sometimes when powering off, the computer will use a long time closing certain applications, but will fail in the end and I have to power it off manually. Also, it will sometimes reset my settings. Back to factory wallpaper and factory everything. it remembers my users and my applications. I've grouped them into two paragraphs, because I have an idea, that the graphical problem might be caused a bad GPU. I have no idea, what's causing the stuff in the second paragraph 😅 also, I hope this is the right community for this question - I couldn't find any communities specifically for computers. any help is welcomed \^\^ //EDIT: Thanks for the help :)) I removed the gpu and now only use the integrated graphics in the cpu, and the visual glitches are gone :)) I've run some tests on the computer (from the boot screen), and it seems the memory is fine. The only driver I know to be a problem is the driver for my WiFi usb. I'll try to work on that, or maybe I'll buy a WiFi card and pray that works better \^\^ thanks for the help :)) //EDIT2: All my problems are fixed now \^\^ the wallpaper change was because I am a doofus and forgot that I had made a new user on the computer, which of course had the default wallpaper 😅 the driver problem was only with my WiFi adapter, and I fixed that by removing the current driver (rtl8812ub) and installing another driver (rtl8811au), which fixed the problem :)) thanks for the help :))

    I just saw somebody on mastodon share this fact, and I wanted to share it here too :)) It can be explained by the follow: 2025 = 2024 + 1 2025 = 45² 45 = 1 + 2 + ... + 9 (1 + ... + n)² = 1³ + ... + n³ and since 1³ is just one, we get the above equation for 2024 :)) This also means that next year will be even nicer, as it will include the 1³ :)) Do you have any other interesting facts about 2024 ? :)) The best name I've found for the last formula is just "Sum of consecutive cubes". I had never heard about that relation before, it really is bizare how math is connected sometimes :))

I found a solution on the internet saying you could map j and k to "<C-Down>" and "<C-Up>", which I've done by writing the following in zathurarc: ``` map j feedkeys "<C-Down>" map k feedkeys "<C-Up>" ``` And it works :)) the only problem is - every time I press either j or k, it writes the following error to the terminal: (org.pwmt.zathura:112248): Gdk-WARNING **: 08:53:50.919: Event with type 8 not holding a GdkDevice.
