Suicide linux. Nobody can run it for more than a day

Edit: i just searched “suicide linux” to see if it still exists and one of the top results was ian murdock’s wiki page, :(

Sorry, when i said “meme” i didnt mean that IEHPs were not factually true

My point is that we’ve KNOWN for decades that this talent pool exists, but we didnt do anything about it until too late.

Because immigrant doctors driving cabs has been a meme for as long as i’ve been alive and we didnt do anything about it until the system is on the verge of collapse

… getting the maximum lifespan you can out of devices and keeping them out of landfills.

debian sid checking in.

The ultimate coffee device for max lifespan is vietnamese phin filter. $10, will never break.

Wow thanks. That sounds amazing!

Will definitely give it a try asap

I’m doing my part!

I used to go to my local loblaws chain almost exclusively because it is so convenient (like, literally across the street). For months now i have actively made an effort to avoid them at all costs. So that’s thousands of dollars revenue gone for them

At the same time, i’m getting higher quality food from elsewhere

I count myself very lucky to have the resources to escape the clutches of the westons (and metro/empire). I realize many dont have the means to do the same and we need to do better to give everyone more options

Steam has been so easy since proton, i honestly never learned to use lutris. I think i played with it once and gave up, but this was 6 years ago at this point. Maybe its easier to use now

If we could somehow merge steam’s linux support, with GOG’s dedication to DRM-free preservation of games

I really tried to support GOG for a long time, but steam was much easier when i went 100% linux

Thanks, I’ll check those out.

I’m there for a work thing, so hopefully there’s stuff that’s walkable from the hotel downtown

Going to regina next week for 5 days. Any tips on what to do?

Free = libre, not gratis

Probably not what you want to hear, but I think exiftool + bash script really is the way to go. A few years ago I had a similar need and searched for hours online… I ended up hacking together a “good enough” bash script that reads all the dates of my pictures and does some stuff. It took 30 mins of reading some basic bash scripting basics. Way less time than searching for a tool that probably doesnt exist.

In 2024, you can probably just ask chatgpt to write a quick and dirty bash script for you and it might require another 10mins of debugging/begging chatgpt to fix its mistakes

Europe is not designed for oversized cars.

Too many drivers are selfish morons and will manage to cram their oversized vehicles into any space without consideration for the safety of anyone outside their own bubble. Doesnt matter if the city was “designed” for it or not.

I was just in Bellagio Italy last week. For some reason, cars are allowed to drive through the medieval city center through extremely narrow roads packed with pedestrians… Which is OK if you’re driving a fiat 500… But this oversized jeep cherokee drive right through town, with barely any space for pedestrians to move aside. I’m not sure if it was a lost tourist or a local resident, but drivers should not be trusted to pilot such a vehicle through crowds with so little margin for error.

Yes, that’s a big part of solving the homelessness problem.

Like all my friends with investment condos brag about how smart they are, but at the same time they complain that society is crumbling around them and the TTC is basically a mobile homeless shelter/mental asylum. And they never put 2 and 2 together

You want to fix the housing problem not because you care for thr homeless, but because you want to have nice public ameneties that arent overrun by homeless people using them as makeshift shelters/injection sites.

riscv is the future.

Signal is fine for almost everyone unless you’re truly doing dangerous work in a truly oppressive state.

I’m so tired of everyone telling others not to use signal because it uses phone numbers. Everyone in here acting like they’re mr. Robot or something.

Anonymity is not the same as privacy. Privacy is good enough for me

Newer versions of apt now have coloured text showing what will be installed (green) and what will be REMOVED (red)

Handy feature for someone like me who also makes mistakes

Doesnt mean it’s dead. Some projects are in maintenance mode

How many new features does a bible need???

AndBible updated 2 months ago for me on f-droid

The github doesnt look dead to me
