awkis extremely helpful if you want to rearrange columns, do math on columns, essentially do things that would take multiple lines ofbashwithcutandread.

661·10 days agoI wonder … will it be another case of “Too Big To Fail” … or will it be … “Let The Market Decide”?
I’m guessing the answer depends on how many medals the CEO of Oracle can bestow upon the Orange.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Does anyone know how to make the Arch text bigger?
2·18 days agoMore likely than not you’re confusing modifier keys.
On the Mac, the zoom is [Command] + [+].
In Linux it’s [Control] + [+]
This is pretty much true across the board. It’s sometimes non-obvious because wrappers like UTM try to “help”.
The alternative is to ssh into the VM and continue to use the MacOS shortcuts you’re used to.

Kali ≠ Debian
I did not see an
apt-get updateIn my experience, unmet dependencies are unlikely to happen on a stable version where you only installed from the official repo.
The LZMA decompression errors point at a much more fundamental issue. I’m suspecting that the repository URLs point at non standard locations or downloads were interrupted, though I’m not sure exactly how, since AFAIK, apt checks the checksum.
If you must have something that’s not In your distro, do yourself a favour and install Docker and run your package inside there, much less chance of killing your system.

155·27 days agoWhat you’re describing is a general experience with LLM, not limited to the C-level.
If an LLM sprouts rubbish you detect it because you have external knowledge, in other words, you’re the subject matter expert.
What makes you think that those same errors are not happening at the same rate outside your direct personal sphere of knowledge?
Now consider what this means for the people around you, including the C-level.
Repeat after me, AI is Assumed Intelligence and should not be considered anything more than autocorrect on steroids.

The fact that Debian is not on your list makes me doubt that it’s accurate or complete and while I’ve been using Linux as my primary desktop for over 25 years, I’ve never heard of any of those distributions listed.
