I literally got the Acrtic Nova 7 a month ago, and I daily drive OpenSUSE. There were no issues getting it set up for normal use, but Sonar doesn’t have a Linux version and as far as I could find there are no instructions to get it working so all of those creature comforts will not work.

One thing to note is that if you connect to Windows via Bluetooth and not the dongle, make sure to unpair the headset before wiping Windows. I ran into this because I had it connected to my old phone and had to unpair it to connect it to my new one (the headset will not pair to a new device unless intentionally unpaired from the old one)

When I worked hospitality, a Karen was someone who automatically assumed that anything not exactly how they wanted it was a personal slight, that you as an employee are not important enough to fix it for them, and that anything short of grovelling is grounds for being fired.

If they listened to you explain why something occurred or why it was the way it was, not a Karen. If they didn’t threaten to escalate because you weren’t offering enough compensation, not a Karen. If they didn’t blame you personally, not a Karen.

And, funny enough, most Karen’s I’ve encountered were men in their mid 40s

I used sheets because it was portable and flexible, but now I’d almost always just use a db instead.

My main use for excel now is “I need to send data to someone who isn’t a programmer” and doing json > CSV conversions to see if my 3000 rows of data from a 3rd party have all the necessary bits.

I really enjoyed spreadsheets before becoming a programmer (I still enjoy them, I just spend less time on them) and basically self taught over the years using Google Sheets.

There are several really useful functions on sheets that simply do not exist in Excel, and there are others that work almost the same but not quite. Having to use Excel drives me insane sometimes because of how clunky it feels.

By contrast, using LibreCalc feels kinda how you’d expect an open source Google Sheets to feel? It’s slightly clunkier, but it gets the job done and generally feels better to use than Excel

Perfect. Thank you for taking the time to respond

My script is basically just the following in a .sh file:

sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y

I think there’s an autoremove statement as well, but I can’t remember exactly off the top of my head.

What broke it was entirely my fault, not the script. While I’m not entirely sure what had occurred, it’s definitely related to me turning off the computer in the middle of what I’m going to call “post processing” where everything is put in place.

My best guess is that there were mismatched files from different versions that were causing some kind of error. Because I was able to navigate the file system and actually use gnome-terminal once I got there, I’m starting to think I broke something in Cinnamon rather than the kernel. The consequences were that the “taskbar” was gone, I couldn’t access the “start menu”, my windows couldn’t be resized, and no keyboard shortcuts worked.

I’ve tried reading through the article, but unfortunately, I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed. I use openSUSE, how does this affect me, and what do I need to do/what can I do about this?

My partner was eligible for ~$750 per month repayments under a Biden era plan that Trump scrapped. They now have to pay ~$4300 per month. The headline isn’t far off.

Great, now I’m Swedish

Apparently that’s because I misremembered the band name this morning lol.

Youtube link to the song that introduced me. They do electronic stuff based on DnD classes or 40k lore.

This is why I specified “nearly” the worst. It can absolutely get the job done and has basically every tool you’d need to do the job, but it’s pretty much the worst amongst the “this will do everything you need” options.

My thought process was abacus < pen & paper < text file < spreadsheet < database solutions

I’ve been listening to The Barenaked Ladies & Great Big Sea a lot the last week, with a little Endless Taverns mixed in.

It was only a matter of time until the kings of human misery came out with one.

You could run empires on the back of a spreadsheet.

You absolutely shouldn’t, it’s nearly the worst option you have available, but you could.

Zypper (openSUSE’s package manager) is what I use for installing programs and its relatively easy. Find the package name on openSUSE.org, then put “sudo zypper in [package-name]” into the terminal.

Away down south in the land of traitors…

Chatting with buddies, we’ll use “our friend Luigi” as shorthand semi-frequently

Accidentally discovered wingdings as a kid while messing around in WordPerfect. Was absolutely terrified because I thought I broke the computer

Something that might make it less suspicious, the PEI Premier became eligible for pension less than a week before he stepped down (it also killed a subpoena to provide a report that the government has been trying to hide for the better part of 18 months)

Maritime Horrors is great, but for the same vibes as him I also watch Brick Immortar and Big Old Boats from time to time.

And if you’re into mode sky boats then Green Dot Aviation is your guy
