When I get bored with the conversation/tired of arguing I will simply tersely agree with you and then stop responding. I’m too old for this stuff.
Here’s to the Losers in my ass
This works. I ran a linux distro in off hours on my work laptop for years this way.
Username (of poster, not OP) checks out.
My Nvidia card won’t properly resume the display after suspend with the default suspend script, but if I correct the script file, every time aptitude updates the nvidia drivers, it restores the bad version of the configuration file. If you set the file immutable with chattr, aptitude throws a fit and goes into a broken state when it can’t overwrite the file on a driver update.
So I keep a good copy of the script file in the directory, and in my pre-suspend script file I overwrite the main suspend script with the good version. Every single time.
Not sure why you’re being downvoted… You nailed it, man.
Well, you certainly get points for consistency.
Maybe that’s what it is for you
This seems like the same logic those people who keep a relative’s corpse around for years to keep collecting their social security checks use…
Final fury
I think you mean Final Fight.
Always someone taking their fandom too seriously I guess.
Also Trump is still an actual candidate and people are rightfully terrified. That does things to people’s sarcasm detectors.
Then there are the people who recognize it’s a joke/sarcasm and just think it’s too serious to joke about, and they’re entitled to their opinion. It IS serious, but I will never allow that to get in the way of a joke.
Is it too late to elect Trump and end democracy?
Red Star OS!
This is less of a brag and more a question for the philosoraptor.
Edit: Apologies… didn’t even notice that [email protected] beat me to this observation.
Untrue. I grew up on the Super Mario Brothers Super Show.
Possibly. But it’s also pretty common in many instances of technology adoption that as more users come, the quality gets worse, and while open source doesn’t have to worry about a shareholder-driven profit motive driving it, it’s still easy to wind up with a muddled focus. I wouldn’t expect that Linux and all of the associated software projects that make the functional desktop are going to be an exception overall. If you’re an open source developer working on a project now, basically any user is some form of power user, and it’s easier to find consensus of what to prioritize on a project not only because Linux users tend to be better about understanding how their software works and are actually helpful in further development, they’re also likely to direct development towards features that make software more open, compatible, and useful.
Now fast forward to a future where Linux is the majority desktop OS, those power users are maybe 5% of the software’s user base, and every major project’s forum is inundated with thousands of users screaming about how hard the software is to use and, when bug reports and feature requests are actually coherent, they mostly boil down to demands for simpler, easier to understand UIs. I can easily imagine the noise alone could lead to an exodus of frustrated developers.
Some things are better for NOT trying to be the answer for everyone.
I can see the point in theory, but when this would’ve been really helpful, my experience is 80% of the time the video maker’s hand is obscuring the important stuff, and the video is often out of focus or frame anyway, and a red circle on a photo as an alternative will usually do just fine. The nice thing about still photos is, the photographer REALLY has to think about each shot, and if it is showing the important thing they want to reveal in that shot. If it isn’t, they’re forced to either retake it or take extra photos to get the point across.
With a video, the videographer is distracted by talking and doing a thing at the same time, and they just think “Yeah, it’s video. I got it.” and they often don’t even rewatch the footage.
“Here’s how to turn on a new feature whose settings your devices will magically forget for no reason once or twice a year, and occasionally lock your UI for several minutes while phoning home. Also make sure you replace ALL of your devices frequently with ones with the newest Android versions, because we’re CERTAINLY not going to support this feature on anything older than the jar of spaghetti sauce in your fridge, which you’ll find out when one of them just stops being compatible, which will happen at the WORST possible time when you’re in an important meeting or having your last phone call with your dying grandma or something.”
