i’ve always been a “organize everything at the file system level, and just play folders on demand in winamp” type guy… so when i couldn’t find a good winamp replacement after switching to linux, i ended up on quod libet and got used to organizing everything via tagging
quod libet was a bit overwhelming at first and forced me to fix a lot of broken tags, but totally worth it.
everyone around here talking about the CIA and nation states as part of their threat model…
bro… you’re worried about the CIA and mossad, and you think spinning up your own chat servers (simplex, matrix, etc.) as an amateur sysadmin is going to be MORE secure?
One is run by an advertising company that has been proven in court to be a bad actor and a strong motive to log and track anything they can
The other is a non-profit without any real motive to sell you out, or any history of doing so
Thats good enough for me and most others unless you’re an extreme “trust no one” level of paranoia
Honestly, i think their (openAI) rationale is that they paid these developers 500k$/yr or whatever… so in their minds, they set these devs up for lifetime success… therefore they have no obligation to keep them employed for long term
I think the devs who are smart, understood the unspoken terms of their agreement
Lol. The system is set up so that (few) workers will have the leverage to charge double…
Whoops… medical issue… please, sam altman, hire me back at the same salary as before! Or half, i dont care!
If people want chip sovereignty they need to byild fabsm anyone can design chips. The bottle neck is and always has been getting them manufactured and thats almost entirely in taiwan and china
If US gets mad, just say that they were carrying drugs
One thing i noticed windows does better is managing multiple screens.
90% of the time when i undock/dock my laptop, the windows go back to the screens they were previously on
I read something years ago that those games were designed to have illogical puzzles so that you’d pay to call the help line (yes, there was a phone number you’d call for help) or sell paper game guides
Aspirational brands
“noo-cu-ler” --> “nu-clear”
“loo-tenant” --> “lef-tenant”
Thats probably where the LLMs picked up the idea. All the online jokes about nuking everyone
Just a reminder, going from 6.x to 7.x does not mean there are more new features than usual. The numbering is totally arbitrary and Linus once joked about running out of fingers and toes to count
What is the solution? Am i stupid?
Debian
But i installed pw a long time ago, so back then, they worked side by side… i guess none of the major upgrades auto removed it, so i just left it. I just assumed that if it has become a full replacement, the debian package manager would just drop it at some point
When will PW become a total replacement for pulse?
it bothers my OCD that i still have both installed and PW seems to be dependent on pulse
Edit: i’m on debian, and even though pw has replaced pulse, there are still a bunch of pulseaudio packages and programs floating around on my system
Can confirm ctrl-shift-c opens dev console
I keep mixing up the shortcuts because ctrl-shift-c is copy in the KDE terminal
I hope they accidentally blow up a billionaire yacht soon
we wanted the year of the linux desktop… well the first raft of windows refugees seem to be a bunch of these overzealous privacy types who think they’re now a bunch of 1337 h4x0rs because they figured out how to get an nvidia driver working on mint… they have more paranoia than actual tech knowledge, and their only contribution to the community is sowing dissent, and shouting about something as trivial as an optional data field.
The debian subreddit is downvoting an actual DEBIAN DEVELOPER when they tried to explain the situation
If i put on my tin foil hat, i’d say these people are being deliberately influenced to sow chaos in foss communities
