I've changed the air filter on mine and I think that's all the maintenance I will ever do

I don't. I migrated to Arch in 2011 or 2012 btw. Fuck I feel old.

The barbecue is good, but that sauce is way too sweet. I need to try the burritos. Those fresh tortillas look 🔥

Yeah I see em, too, but Clark County is barely hanging on. We'll see with this next election. Fuckin white flight from Louisville is making Jeffersonville more red.

Nah Gary is really close to Chicago, and goes heavily Democrat. Western suburbs of Indianapolis are where you find high concentrations of wackadoos.

Celebrities do express support for third party candidates regularly

Uh because they have freedom of speech and can think whatever they want

Amanda Palmer doesn't have anything to do with what's going on right now.

For those out of the loop:

The stories have broken from a podcast from Tortoise Media called 'Master, the allegations against Neil Gaiman'. I have not listened to any of it, but have read these two articles from Tortoise, which provide summaries of events and his responses:

https://www.tortoisemedia.com/2024/07/03/exclusive-neil-gaiman-accused-of-sexual-assault/

https://www.tortoisemedia.com/2024/08/01/exclusive-two-more-women-accuse-neil-gaiman-of-sexual-assault-and-abuse/

In three of the cases, he claims their relations were all consensual. In two of them, there are NDAs, and one of them is described in some detail in the second article.

In the last one, he claims he misread a situation and stopped as soon as he realized it.

It's not looking good for him, that is for sure. I think he's hoping he can deny everything and it will blow over after some time, but it keeps getting worse. It doesn't seem like anything will result in criminal charges, but there is a lot of smoke around him.

I'm still a fan of his work; it's been a huge influence on my life, so it's causing a lot of difficult feelings.

That would be a departure from every other "investigation" in this war, where Israel investigates and finds no wrong.

I started reading the bible recently (currently on Samuel I), and it is the goriest, trashiest, most salacious shit I've ever read.

You spend your gold and waste an inventory slot, like a sucker 😝

It is rather a snooze compared to basically all of the other rings. Sure it can reduce the damage you take, but it takes effort to maximize it's benefit.

Consider that it's affect scales with how low your health is. It also applies the reduction after armor and it rounds the result in favor of damage.

This is just a ring you'll wear until you find something better, or transmute it, if it's upgraded.

Yeah sure, a distro could start spying on users. How easy it would be would depend on their distribution model, and how willing they are to violate the GPL.

Linux is a tool that big corporate entities have profited greatly from for many years, and will continue to. Same with BSD, Apache, Docker, MySQL, Postgres, SSH...

Valve, Sys76, Framework, etc. Are proving that using Linux to serve an end user market is also profitable, and are capable of supporting enterprise use-cases.

I understand that there may be specific problems to solve wrt improving adoptability, usability, compatibility, etc., but Linux is doing more than ok within the context of the FOSS ecosystem (and increasingly without).

Your thinking is slightly skewed, IMHO. Linux doesn't have an inherent incentive to compete with MacOS or MS, and if it did, it would be subject to the same pressures that encourage bad behavior like spying on users, creating walled gardens, and so forth.

Fixed it for you: VSCode, Red Star OS, and sh

To be effective as a cop, you have to operate close to the edge.

🤮

She'll be ready in five minutes

I'm all for exploring nix on one of my own machines, but I'm honestly just punching a clock on MacOS and nothing more.

I have everything I need to do my work, I just will not ever enjoy the part where I have to do it in MacOS.

wat is 10 x 0

brogramming, dawg

yes

ok this could be it, i guess. they have some form of device management tool.

never used an m1, but i have an m2 for work and it is ass. stutters and does weird shit all the time

i haven't taken the time to learn zsh, but i imagine there is an advantage to configuring it for yourself

alluding to those who will say something like, "linux is great, and macos is ok, but windows is awful!"

I dunno what's best for you, that's what's so beautiful about Linux

also homebrew sux and blows

Workflow on Linux: Whatever I want. Workflow on MacOS: Whatever they want, and if I want to change something, I have to install a third party tool reverse engineered from their private API that will break on every update.

It is pretty insane how outsized Trump's influence is.

• He sank a bipartisan immigration bill developed, in part, by some of the most conservative members of Congress, with the sole purpose of denying a victory to the Whitehouse.
• He and his most fervent cultists still refuse to concede that he lost the 2020 election.
• Politics of fear and spite, afflicting large swaths of the electorate with such.
• Democrats have been "in power" for... almost 4 years. It's not a mystery, it's simple arithmetic!

Fugg yeah thanks for the tip!. I was not there for krohnkite the first time around, but I'm here for it now.

Whatever you do, steer clear of Plasma Wayland right now. Polonium has a lot of issues.

Thanks for taking the time to answer! I will admit that I often wait way too long to use my SoU's. Nice balancing act you did there to punish those of us who cling too hard to the old ways.

It's also really cool to see you using Lemmy!

Anyway, wishing all the continued success to you.

Awesome stuff! I remember when development stopped on Pixel Dungeon all those years ago, and Shattered stayed on my phone after trying out the myriad of variants (Sprouted anyone?).

If you'd indulge me, I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on a few things:

• Equipment degradation - This being one of the last features that watabou implemented before halting the project always seemed kind of extreme to me. What do you think about the mechanics of it, and do you think it could have been improved upon, if development had not ended? Have you tested with it much in development for Shattered?

• The other projects from watabou have been pretty cool to see. His proc-generative skills have really shone with the TTRPG tools, and I have actually used them in my own campaign, to some extent. Just wondering if you have checked them out.

• Any aspirations of starting something new, or is it SPD from here on?

Thanks for sharing your gift to the world! It's helped me pass countless hours enjoyably.

He's had insane shit with animals his whole life. In his teens he had a hawk that went everywhere with him. Check out the latest Behind the Bastards series on him it's fuckin cray

I'd put the swarm of flies in the top tier, since they're your first opportunity to farm health potions.

You haven't provided any info about your partition scheme for either drive, but I assume you've got your bootloader installed in an EFI partition in the newer drive. You will still have an EFI partition on the old drive created by the Ubuntu installer, so just be sure you know which bootloader you're using.

Option 1 and 2 aren't functionally any different. It's not clear what issues you're worried about, but if you're nervous about breaking the Ubuntu installation, you might just want to wait until you can get the new drive.

You also don't give any indication of how much data you have that you want to keep. If the 2tb drive is almost full, you have fewer options than if it is mostly empty or half full. You could resize your EXT4 partition and create a new partition, for example, allowing you to mount a fresh, clean filesystem to a subfolder in your home directory. Once the data migration is finished, you can format the old partitions and mount them somewhere else, or resize the newer partition over them. Be aware that your HDD will eventually fail mechanically, however. Maybe 5 years from now or next week, but they all fail someday.

It's not clear to me what the goal of option 3 is, but it's dependent on how you use your machine. If you want to install a lot of applications or games that you want to run fast, you don't want to migrate a bunch of your data to your newer SSD. If you just want a temporary place to store the data you want to keep until you can format the old drive, I guess this is a fine approach, but creating a dedicated user for this is just adding unnecessary complexity, IMHO.

I would recommend they follow the full installation guide instead, which is probably one of the best pieces of technical documentation in existence at the moment. The amount of detail, context, and instruction provides both an invaluable learning experience and introduction to Linux.

archinstall is not foolproof; that's why I wouldn't recommend it to an absolute beginner. IMHO, It's more valuable for people who are familiar with the process and want a shortcut.

As great as archinstall is, it can't possibly account for every contingency. Troubleshooting a bootloader issue, for example, is easy if you've installed one before. If a noob managed to navigate the TUI (with all of the confusing questions and settings) and complete the installation only to have something go wrong there, they're off it, maybe for good.
