I often hear, “You should never cheap out on a good office chair, shoes, underpants, backpack etc…” but what are some items that you would feel OK to cheap out on?...
Depends. That’s about what I paid for my previous phone second hand and it lasted me 7 years and I loved it to bits. But I was pretty broke and only could afford that. New phone, I decided to buy a brand new fairphone, because i think that the moment I get enough disposable income, I have a moral responsibility to use it in ways that encourage more ethical practices, for all the people who can’t. Doing that is bloody expensive, but if it somehow helps make this dystopian hellscape a little more bearable, I’ll invest.
It is, yeah. Especially if it’s to change it after 2 short years of use because if you keep it longer than that you look like a bum or whatever. I will never understand that tbh.
I’ve always just used konsole or gnome terminal. Never really looked into what else is available. Tried cool-retro-term the other day, but the novelty wore off pretty fast for me....
Obviously I can understand why mysoginists are hated upon, As their belief is all women are trash or men are superior etc. But why are incels also generally hated upon? They are lacking in a way that makes them unable to gey in a relationship, but that shouldn’t necessarily mean they are mysoginists, right?...
Fwiw, about the zéro expérience thing, I hope you know that plenty of women would enjoy helping their partner explore how to share pleasure and day to day intimacy with them. Being inexperienced and realistic about it also means you won’t have that overconfidence that leads some men to disregard their partner’s personal likes, needs and body quirks, and that can be a very reassuring premise.
I have been distro hopping for about 2 weeks now, there’s always something that doesn’t work. I thought I would stick with Debian and now I haven’t been able to make my printer work in it, I think I tried in another distro and it just worked out of the box, but there’s always something that’s broken in every distro....
Ah no no, maybe I was unclear, but the issue occurs during the initramfs stage, long before any of my KDE/Plasma nonsense had any chance to run! KMS has nothing to do with KDE. ^^
You could switch all your repos to the core Arch ones. I did that by accident once, and it was fine (although, I did switch them back eventually). Maybe it’d add release stability? I’m not really clear how the EOS repos vary off the baseline, except by adding some custom packages.
They don’t afaik. EOS uses Arch’s repos directly, unlike Manjaro. Just adds its own on top for all the fancy EOS stuff. Which is why EOS was immediately affected by the grub meltdown and not Manjaro. (which kinda digs a few holes in the stability hypothesis, though Manjaro is another kettle of fish tbf)
Snapper sounds really interesting, and I didn’t expect “super easy” to be the feedback there. Sounds a bit overkill for my use case at home but I might look into it for work. Thanks for the info!
Oh god a borked BIOS is my nightmare… I don’t even know how you’d go about fixing that on a modern PC mobo… Let’s not jinx it shall we?
Until you’re one of the unlucky ones whose PC gets bricked by an update. Happened to me twice. I agree, it’s wayyyy more chill than people give it credit for, but let’s not pretend using it as a daily driver doesn’t come with its risks ^^
There will be lots that will make you feel lost, because of the design language differences and the widely different philosophy, but you got this. Just take it at your own pace, one web search at a time and you’ll be grand!
You were just lucky. For some of us ut was just about having the wrong hardware at the wrong time.
Not complaining, I knew the risks going in and still love my distro, but arch updates totally can brick a PC with no PEBCAK involved. It does happen. :3
Any and all help would be so greatly appreciated. I’ve been battling with my laptop to be able to dual-boot Ubuntu Cinnamon and Windows 10 for about four days now. I’ve probably gone down five or six different rabbit-holes of troubleshooting, GRUB command-line fun, reinstalling and updating the BIOS, trying and failing to...
You might not want to trust chatgpt with anything where accuracy and specificity are both essential to not brick a machine or lose data though. Especially since you can’t check the sources it used. It did a decent job at getting the general workflow right, but even that’s not a given. :/
I read a lot of answers online that its a bad idea, but the arguments did not make a lot of sense. “it’s a heavily ingrained part of the eco system”. Well if I can change it, what’s the deal?...
Foxit still provides a free version that’s linux compatible. Its been a lifesaver at work to do document signing without messing everything up. It may take a little tweaking to run, but it’s worth a try for forms.
So if I’m not mistaken, “from Paris with love” has a bit of a dated flavor to it, right? An expression with a similar sentiment and “flavor” would probably be “bons baisers de Paris” which would have that “I’m using elevated old timey language ironically to be sassy” vibe in that context. Something to that effect. Hope that makes sense.
The article you linked probably does not exactly say what you think it does. It’s just a professor in geography and linguistics reporting on an ukrainian neologism, adapting it to french audiences for phonetical convenience, it does not hint at any integration in the french language, quite the opposite, and that’s coming from a specialist in the field. While the neologism is interesting and very useful, this is definitely a very niche use among french people, as far as I’m aware. That being said, TIL thanks to you. The more you know.
What I should have mentioned earlier, that leaves me scratching my head the most, is that the message makes very little sense. It won’t be legible for anyone who doesn’t speak french (barring a couple of words), so it’s not meant to be read by russian people. What’s more, “de Paris avec amour” is the literal translation of “from Paris with love”, which sounds very natural in english but not in french, at all, and sounds like something that what somebody who doesn’t speak french would get out of google translate or something. The only way I can make it make sense is that this would be entirely manufactured for social media, which tracks with the first impression I had that this image was manipulated and the text added in photoshop or something. This whole thing is very bizarre, hence my incredulous reaction at the premise of it being french at all.
Hope that clarifies things a bit, and explains why I was instantly weirded out.
Don’t get me wrong, the rascists (may as well adopt this nifty neologism now haha o/) can, indeed, go to hell and stay there, and french people massively support Ukraine, but it’s still useful to be mindful of what’s shared on social media, no matter how much it supports our positions or not. Probably now more than ever, with AI generative models becoming an increasingly scary problem.
