Not sure if my memory is failing already but I no longer see those “Update portage before anything else” messages.

When something tries to overwrite stuff in /etc and you have to etc-update your shit… that’s when things get real

I agree. Got fake (chinese?) poc devour glasses which cost 1/10 the price of the original thing. Though allegedly the vision quality is not on par with the originals (…that’s to be expected) they’re big enough to cover half your face from the elements and yet somehow almost never fog - not an easy feat in my case because I always wear a bandana covering mouth and nose.

Oh and they came with 4 lenses and a plastic thing where you can mount your prescription glasses, which allegedly the originals do not have.

As a long time KDE user I have to agree with you.

I hated the turn things took from Gnome3 onwards but I really like the “workspaces per demand” feature of it. It makes much more sense than having a static number of virtual desktops.

Though I concede KDE did not do much about virtual desktops but concentrated on activities instead - but it seems like with Plasma 6 they are backpedalling on that as it would require integration from everyone, most of all non KDE apps to make it make sense.

Do not even get me started on not being able to set a different wallpaper for each virtual desktop.

I recall there was a kwin script somewhere to emulate the dynamic virtual desktops thing, but that would be much better if it was an upstream feature.

I’d like to know which one is creating /.Trash-1000. Yes, at the root folder. No, I don’t have any other OS installed in this system but linux

That’s precisely why I wrote “lighter and stronger”.

Unless lighter and stronger materials can be mass produced (I heard a few days ago chinese scientists managed to find a way to produce steel cutting 90% of carbon, and like 2-3 years ago about lighter steel from Taiwan and/or MIT) I just can’t imagine any serious breaking innovation in bicycle manufacturing. All this “revolutionary” bicycles seem to always go to shit because, well, they all are shit.

I’m old (not much, though) but back in my day it happened the same thing with people like me. Only that instead Arch+Hyprland it was Compiz Fusion+Beryl because the cube and the flames was the tits.

Also I just happen to be a graphic designer so hopefully this post of yours helps into letting die that idea that Linux is only for devs and sysadmins.

It’s odd because from what I can gather from things like youtube it seems like woodworking is huge there (and they say wood is cheap there too), so I’d imagine there should be a considerable amount of people doing furniture.

Contrasting to the situation here where people doing hand-maded furniture is lowering their prices so much trying to keep up with the ikea-type of shit (and of course doing things with superior quality).

But it’s what certain fruity company and its Dieter Rams wannabe designer in chief made into a trend (along with soldered memory slots and other abominations) because aEsThEtIcZ - despite its implications not only on repairability but sustainability.

Not sure if you know this but with Gmail (and I bet that almost with any other email service) you can approach this - instead of the ‘-’ character you use a ‘+’ and set custom filters and tags for each ‘+’ you want. I’ve been doing this for ages with it - though as a third world person I can’t afford privacy by paying a third party subscription nor setting a home server and running local services 24/7 by paying more electricity.

Now I want to see one of this about Hobbes

That’s something only a tiger would say. Are you a tiger?

Maybe you’d want to check out tasks.org - it’s available on F-droid. I just checked if it can set an indefinite repeating reminder each x minutes but in theory you could set a high number of reminders (it seems you can set up to 999999999 repeating reminders!)

To those who downvote, really?

Not a long time lemmy user but as I’ve said here from time to time, it seems this inherited Reddit’s toxicity. People downvote here things just because - not because something doesn’t contribute to a discussion in any way whatsoever, but because they just don’t like it. It’s so stupid.

Take my posts in Colombia@lemmy.world - all of them have at most 0 net upvotes. Nobody there posts anything but me and nobody comments anything, but I do get downvotes because…?

TL;DR - don’t pay attention to downvotes here. You’re right, he’s an asshole. Though as with almost all social media you shouldn’t take no one, not even someone as influential as LTT, as a reputable source of information.

It’s just jan 4 and it seems the systemd jokes have already run out for this year. I for one haven’t seen all those “systemd bad” posts/comments/blogs/whatever. Instead there are tons, TONS of “gnome bad”, “kde bloated”, “wayland bad/xorg good” posts/comments/blogs/whatever, but god forbid if someone says something about systemd.

Farmer is systemd/kerneld*

Kind of the same syndrome of that people that want to feel opressed by made up reasons

TIL Gnome devs have (left) foot fetishism

Given he’s mentioned Colombia in this video I’m commenting here. And because it makes me remember the very first bicycle I ever had, which was a steel one with Monark decals though I’m not really sure if it was actually made by Monark. It kinda look like this one but was dark green and had a non-chopper plastic black saddle.

Growing up and living in the suburbs of Bogotá and the countryside I can’t be completely sure if I have ever seen a Buffalo here, but most probably at some time I’ve seen one.

And it can be because you can find even cheaper new bikes here - though not even half as good or reliable as this one - but because its weight and single-speed-ness, which for we people in the andean range is really a big deal. Though for people in other areas of the country this can be absolutely fantastic and Seth explains those reasons very well in this video.

But even then people like my father would really like a bike like this - he was a farmer and used to go around to work on an old steel single-speed road bike. On the way uphill it was useful even not being able to ride it but because he could tie some bag or stuff or something and aid him carry the load, on the way down home he just rode it and saved time getting there.

And noting that it’s not just him who used to use bikes that way but many people who work in farming and rural living you can understand why a bike like that is really appreciated - not to travel really long distances with it but to aid them with their travel which in other way would be a tough hike, and being absolutely reliable with minimal maintenance.

He told me sometimes people in bike shops tried to talk to him into putting gears to it (it had a rear derailleur hanger but no front derailleur hanger nor mounts for friction shifters) but he liked the simplicity of maintenance of the thing.

Another detail he doesn’t mention in the video (or not that I could understand if he did) is if the pump can be carried mounted somewhere with the bike and carry it - my father had one of those long pumps mounted below the down tube of his bike and it was pretty neat to be honest, I even did that for some time with my bike too.

Hell, I’d like a bike like that too but I just happen to hate squared bottom brackets.
