But it has a middle separator, perfect example of hostile architecture. For the uninitiated: the armrest in the middle’s only function is to stop people lying on the bench. Homeless people can’t sleep here, we finally solved the problem of homelessness, hurray!

During the first 3 seasons Simpsons was animated by KlaskyCsupo, “animation executive producer” and “supervising animation director” was Gábor Csupó. After he left animation style changed to more conventional.

So while the characters, writing and plotlines were not as genial as in the following seasons the animation style was much more interesting, with strange perspectives and point of views, distorted spaces, etc. Just look at this early recording: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LUf-GGHpuU

Here is a compilation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gPay3RUp1c

I never noticed this, it just looks like this for a few frames, but yeah, it’s a strange design choice, it makes the characters look like they are made from clay or rubber.

The global spread of the Indo-european language family

@mapporn

infeeeee,

Modern silk road, called trans-siberian railway, the railroad through Russia. Factories and cities were built next to the railroad. A lot of other nations live in russia, but they are not indo-europeans, and much smaller in numbers.

There are 25 regional official languages in russia, only 2 of them indo-european: Osetian and Ukrainian. Most others are Turkic and Uralic en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Russia

Also this map is shitty, as it doesn’t show what percentage of people speak the language, 51% looks the same as 99%.

The small gap in Northern Spain are Basques, other gaps are the Ural guys, Finno-Ugric languages:

  • The big hole in the middle is Hungarians in Hungary and Southern Slovakia
  • The smaller hole a bit to the East are Hungarians in Romania, aka Szeklers
  • In the North Finns in Finland and Estonians in Estonia
  • Even Norther the Sámi people, they live in Finland, Norway and Sweden, but on this map they are part of the Finnish gap.

There are some Turkic language speakers as well, but they are so small, they are not visible on the map, e.g. Gagauz people in Southern Ukraine. And some part of Turkey is in geographical Europe.

There are much more gaps in European Russia, mostly other Turkic and Finno-Ugric languages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Russia#/media/File:Linguistic_map_of_the_Altaic,_Turkic_and_Uralic_languages_(en).png And the 100s of different small languages of the Caucasus: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_the_Caucasus

combining both original and colourised footage

For me the historicity of a colorized scene is similar to a reenactment. I hate when they mix original and colorized footage, or if they don’t give a proper notice on a colorized section in a docu, or colorized images in an historical article. It looks like the truth, but it’s not the truth, and we cannot be sure how it actually looked like. And if we cannot be sure, than there is a possibility that it’s fake.

I know a lot of people don’t share my view, and it’s alright, I’m just an old man who yells at cloud…

How to kickstart old Samsung GT-S7580? (midwest.social)

I just found my first phone ever and decided to start it up. I found out the password and decided to factory reset it since I’m planning on selling it. However, ever since I resetted it, it has been stuck on the same “Installing applications” screen (see image). I tried the volume up+power button+home button tactic and...

infeeeee,

This phone is 3G only, so it’s possible that mobile data won’t work anymore, shutdown of 3G networks are ongoing worldwide. Here where I live all carriers switched off their 3G networks. Wikipedia has a list with shutdown dates per country: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3G#Phase-outYou can still use this phone with wifi though.

I found some threads about this phone on xda, there are some tutorials on how to get started with no rom flashing experience. But these threads are old, so expect rotten links. xdaforums.com/f/samsung-galaxy-s-duos-2.4723/

I recommend this one after a quick glance through the threads: xdaforums.com/…/rom-5-1-1-cm-stable-unofficial-cm… It has detailed instructions, stable and 5+. Most Android apps nowadays require Android 5+.

The official name of this phone is Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus, and it’s really similar to S Duos 2, also search for those.

infeeeee,

Yes, I wanted to write it as a general caution for this old model, not a solution to the problem

infeeeee,

That’s link rot: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_rot I warned you that it’s expected for such an old device. If noone mirrors the links in the thread you are out of luck to find old roms. Maybe you can try to message the original uploaders, maybe they still have the files on some old drive. Maybe look at the end of the thread.

infeeeee,

I vote both.

It seems to me well known music gets more upvotes, so more people like that. I personally love to discover new music, already found some new artists here.

Easily find program name from context menu/without terminal?

I occasionally need to know the names of programs. I asked here about “Run as Administrator” being added to the context menu (like in Windows), and the response was basically “can’t be easily done”. an example is if I wish to edit a config file it cannot be done without accessing the terminal. Knowing the name...

infeeeee,

You can create a new desktop file, where you add pkexec in the Exec line.

Desktop files are in /usr/share/applications. Find your app there. Copy it’s desktop file file to the user’s application directory, it’s ~/.local/share/applications expanded: /home/username/.local/share/applications/. Rename this new desktop file, and in the line starting with Exec add pkexec at the beginning of the command string. pkexec is the graphical equivalent of sudo(kindof). Also change the Name in the file, so you can find it in your menu. (The difference you mention comes from here. On the gui this Name parameter is visible, while on the terminal you call the command from Exec).

When you save the new desktop file, it should show up in your Application menu. If you start this new app, pkexec should bring up a graphical password prompt.

If you use gnome you can edit desktop files with alacarte, it may work with other DEs: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/alacarte

More info, these things are unrelated to your distro, it should work the same way everywhere:

Very useful video. I miss that you don’t list the Chromium browsers. A lot of people, the target audience of this video don’t know that edge, opera, vivaldi, brave are all affected some way.

infeeeee,

Start menu was separated from explorer.exe since 8 or 10, it’s called StartMenuExperienceHost.exe nowadays. Taskbar is also a separate process since 11. It also means that they can freeze separately

infeeeee,

This is a gem:

Of course, I’d also suggest that whoever was the genius who thought it was a good idea to read things ONE FCKING BYTE AT A TIME with system calls for each byte should be retroactively aborted. Who the fck does idiotic things like that? How did they noty die as babies, considering that they were likely too stupid to find a tit to suck on?

But my favorite is not from a mailing list, but a google+ post for opensuse developers:

If you have anything to do with security in a distro, and think that my kids (replace ‘my kids’ with ‘sales people on the road’ if you think your main customers are businesses) need to have the root password to access some wireless network, or to be able to print out a paper, or to change the date-and-time settings, please just kill yourself now. The world will be a better place

Beside what @fatihozs wrote:

  • If the package wants to install an awful amount of dependencies it means those dependencies are only used by that package on my system. Flatpaks contains all dependencies, so the required disk space would be similar to the flatpak.
  • My feeling is flatpak install time is quicker in this case, to install 1 flatpak vs 138 AUR packages. I never measured it though.
  • I only do this if an insane amount of dependencies needed. Some dependencies are normal, if more than 50 than I think AUR is not an ideal way to distribute a software, or also include a -bin package.
  • If no flatpak available I still install the 137 dependencies, so nothing wrong with that, it’s simply the way I like to manage my system.
infeeeee,

That’s install dependencies (in PKGBUILD they are called makedepends), python programs usually need them for runtime (depends in PKGBUILD). On the main page of a package they are listed together, but on the PKGBUILD they are separate
