It’s something to do with lib relatives during their national-mourning-period a few days from now

What Linux distro do you use? What do you use it for?

Arch Linux, it’s the most maintainable way to run the last versions of the software on my machine, which is useful to me as a developer.

What is your experience with it?

Breakage is rare. When it does happen, though, I can easily unbreak it by downgrading whichever single package lead to the breakage and its dependencies, and adding them to a IgnorePkg directive in my /etc/pacman.conf.

Occasionally, I need to watch out for configuration files installed as .pacnew and upgrade my existing configuration to the new version (usually, it’s only comments that have changed between the current conf version and the .pacnew one, so nothing to do).

Besides that, it works pretty much flawlessly. Arch Linux doesn’t patronize you with a “Don’t worry about that, we’ll handle it for you” attitude like Ubuntu, Fedora, or macOS. And there is no lower-effort way than Arch Linux to run the latest version of all software you have installed.

Why did you switch to Linux?

As a developer, I needed a *nix environment, but my workplace only gave me Windows. Cygwin was a pain to configure, required converting between Windows paths and Cygwin paths every step of the way in order to interoperate with my Windows environment (this was before WSL), and Windows-style line endings made my terminal look weird with some frequency.

I didn’t start with Arch right away, I started with Antergos (a now discontinued Arch installer), which set things up initially and let me work with it from there. Importantly, it didn’t involve a completely separate package manager like Manjaro. If you want to use Arch, don’t start with Manjaro, because if you do, you will probably stay on Manjaro. A list of Arch-based distros is here, if you want to take this approach (Warning: Some people use an Arch installer, which is initially easy, accidentally break everything on an upgrade, and are unable to get it working again, so only do this if you’re committed to fixing your own problems).

Is he going to list the same goals for 2024? His campaign site only asks for money, it doesn’t mention his platform

However, since Kurtaj has autism and was deemed unfit to stand trial, the jury was asked to determine whether he committed the acts in question, not whether he did so with criminal intent.

If you can’t get a conviction based on what happened, simply ignore what happened

sovietknuckles, to linux in Is Ubuntu deserving the hate?
@sovietknuckles@hexbear.net avatar

I have a desktop with Fedora

IMO snaps aren’t bad enough to choose IBM instead

sovietknuckles, to covid in Those still shielding from Covid have far less trust in government, research finds
@sovietknuckles@hexbear.net avatar

Disabled people who are still shielding from Covid have far less trust in the government than the general public and are far more likely to believe it handled the pandemic very badly, a survey has found.

Are we in the middle of a counter-terrorism operation that gives the whole country COVID in an attempt to wipe out all those dangerous, disabled insurgents?

sovietknuckles, to git in Every git command I use (Cheatsheet)
@sovietknuckles@hexbear.net avatar

You’re never actually “adding” the whole file unless it’s a brand-new file, git add my-file just adds every patch change for that file without confirmation.

Using git add -p my-file, the same hooks will run as if you staged and committed all changes to my-file.

@sovietknuckles@hexbear.net avatar

geordi-no git add

geordi-yes git add -p

Otherwise, I would be staging the whole file without looking at what I’m staging first

Biden’s last nominations were a Democrat and a Republican in May 2022, replacing 2 Democrats. So DeJoy is further from being removed than he was 2 years ago

Yes. Who would have removed him?
