I hope this doesn’t violate the low-quality rule. For those who don’t know, when you right click an archive in Dolphin, the extract menu has a “Extract archive here, autodetect subfolder” option and its absolutely brilliant! If you’ve ever extracted a zip, tar, etc and ended up with files splattered everywhere this...
Doesn’t Ctrl+Z undo the extraction? I may be dreaming, but I remember there was a fast option to delete all the files extracted. Anyway, we already know about autodetection B)
CoD: Black Ops 1 is a freaking masterpiece. It made me expect more from videogames and appreciate the little details. Then Ghost Recon: Wildlands and Fallout 4 were the first games that made me realize that an open world with such content was possible and the RPGs world. I know they are not massive, but I had only played in an Xbox and I had to be picky because I’m no rich. But yeah, I only have good anecdotes with those games and how impressive it was for me, mostly Fallout 4 because of secondary missions that had an impact on me, and then the other Fallouts which I’m playing in order right now and every one has its own impact, I love the franchise.
Extra: I love R6 and it was one of my favorites of all time, then I was introduced to the enshittifcation concept without knowing it lol. I kept playing Battlefield 4 rather than returning to R6.
I write small scripts in NeoVim and larger projects in VSCodium because it provides most of what I need and doesn’t consume a lot of resources. It’s a good tool, you can also use forks or alternatives, and i think that’s the spirit of open source, isn’t it?
I also have been trying Kate, works greats and with even better performance.
I always see people saying Google provides better results, but to me it’s awful. I don’t even use DDGO anymore, but Google only shows ads and SEO optimized results that look AI generated. Is this common or am I just an isolated case?
I gotta say I’m pretty good finding stuff, but i swear Google makes it more complicated for me. In DDGO I only need to change words, in Google I need to filter out half the results to get something human.
But that was when I used to use DDGO, I now self-host SearXNG and only use DDGO for simple searches and when using my phone.
I guess Google needs constant use to give something better(?, which would be another reason for me not to use it hehe

Ironically, most people I know doesn’t know how to use their phones or computers at all.
Not all of the people require more knowledge than Excel, but it’s very useful to recognize types of errors, backups, where are the settings you may need and how to find your device options.
When using software and the codecs from the packman repo, what are the best practices associated with the updating and maintaince of these packages and the system in general. Do I have to wait for sometime before updating using dup or can I use the packman modules of mesa with updated versions of the mesa modules provided...
Yes, I also use MESA, but that only happens when you use the –allow-vendor-change option. I don’t, I prefer to wait until packman is in sync with the openSUSE repos. I had that problem previously, before reinstalling TW and I didn’t like having multiple packages out of sync and sometimes repeated, I like to see them as a bigger package that has to be updated at the same time.
Sorry for not answering earlier, I think there was a problem with Beehaw.
Anyway, yes, I also use Packman and I do not have the –allow-vendor-change flag enabled because it caused more problems for me the last time i had TW installed. I prefer to wait until the repos are synced and then update. :)
From what I remember, I only used opi codecs and that’s it. What I meant with the vendor change, was that I never run it nor allow it.
When you run zypper dup, it throws you some errors telling you that the versions are different or aren’t in the official repo, which means that you should wait until there are no errors. Unless there was an official vendor change and you have no other alternative (and it’s not really common) then you have to install those specific packages from the official repo.
I’ve been using Tumbleweed for almost a year (in October) and I even resized my partition so I could have more storage in TW.
The only problems I’ve encountered specifically with TW were an update that made my repos not work, so I had to restore them and the usual OPI and zypper desyncs that make me wait until they’re both at sync and update correctly.
The lack of software has been almost non-existent, I knew about distrobox so I use that to install software like Stellaris or PacketTracer. I’ve had no problems.
Missing. It’s fascinating for me to remember things I did with my grandma a bunch of years ago before she passed away.
I lost one of my dogs family. She was so sweet and always wanted to jump and lick your face. She moved her little tail and it moved her entire body. Lately one of the other dogs has been doing the same and I can’t stop thinking about my other one. I miss her every day.
I thank the universe for the little details that make me remember and miss people I love.
Since currently Lemmy is mostly made up of nerds, I’d like to know what browsers you use and why? You could just upvote the comment with your browser of choice if you don’t want to explain.
I think that the main problem is that companies keep getting revenue even if actors don’t. Book writers don’t stop earning money just because they wrote their book 5 years ago, and yes, they don’t win money for reselling, but companies like Amazon and their editorials will keep earning money because of their work, so why shouldn’t the writers earn money?
If your work isnt being streamed or sold, well, you won’t see much. But still, you signed a contract, like the old perpetual pensions.

I wish people had to take a course about the dangers of the different vehicles. They, supposedly, take a traffic course, right?, but most of them, at least where I live, don’t ever take into consideration the danger they become when buying a bigger car.
They already receive a lot of warnings and learning with big truck driving courses
