Oh, my partners, their partners, and the offspring thereof come to mind.

What can I say? Grew up with a close extended family that was familiar with adoption (both formal and otherwise). Couldn’t kick the habit when I moved out.

Sooo… The author mentions that Manjaro fucked up, but I’m not sure what they’re referring to…?

I mean, like… To which Manjaro fuckup are they referring?

If it ships, Arch will have it immediately.

Alternatively, something with a generally round or cylindrical shape will also show off a smooth transition between colors as you turn it around the Z axis.

Ahh, my bad. Saw Coke, and assumed it was one of their fancy touchscreen fountains. No idea, then.

Those things are running a web app in Chrome, so there’s plenty of blame for decisions that lead to performance hits to go around lol

That depends on which audio system you’re running.

Since this can vary depending on your distro, the easiest place to look for that info is going to be your distro’s documentation. That documentation may also include instructions for how to accomplish exactly what you want.

I already don’t own an xbox and am happy about it. Checkmate, MS.

I use vcsh and myrepos.

vcsh allows you to run multiple git repos that share ~ as their root, and mr simplifies/automates the management of those multiple repos. You can check out my setup here.

I’m having trouble finding it, but there’s a clip of a left wing commentator (I believe it was Sam Seder) saying that they were going to dinner with right wing commentators after some sort of news appearance. He was continuing to talk about the subject at hand, when the other person told him something along the lines of, “Hey, just leave that on the field, man.”

It’s clear that they don’t believe the bullshit they’re spouting. They’ll run propaganda and interference for whatever side gives them money and attention regardless of what they’re saying and how it harms people.

Apologies, hostility wasn’t my intention, only seeking understanding.

Ya know, in the context of the software in a vacuum, sure. But I think I’ll ammend what I said earlier about what constitutes a distro:

IMO, It’s not just software that glues other existing software together into a contiguous OS, but also a staff, a community, a philosophy cast on that collection of software. A way of doing things and thinking about them. Decisions and the rationale for them, a history of iteration, user needs and how those needs are filled. Us soft squishy humans that make, maintain, modify, administer, use, and complain about the software.

Because I think that reducing a distro to only the software it produces or uses fails to paint the whole picture. The mechanisms used for managing the collection of software on any specific machine is only one part of a larger system.

Pacman isn’t the only part of Arch, and Arch isn’t just pacman. The same is true if you s/Arch/MSYS2/g on that statement.

I mean… Yeah…? It’s not all that controversial to say that any distro is essentially just glue between several pieces of software…

What’s your point?

I’m genuinely not sure what you’re saying here…

Pacman was birthed from the Arch ecosystem, but it’s built to be generalized so any project can use it if they choose.

There’s probably a better way to do this, but I’ve just started using BLE Radar (F-Droid, Play Store), which can be set up to (among other things) tell you where your phone last saw a particular bluetooth address.

You don’t get the benefit of the tracking network that iPhones, and now Androids, are a part of, and it’s not built into the base system, but it’s FOSS, and your location data stays local.

Chromium and its descendants also do this, but yes, that’s implemented by the browser itself.

Support for global touch gestures is dependent on the DE’s feature set.

Running Arch, so not really exposed, but still had a compromised version installed.

Me: fixes exposure to vuln

Also me: grabs popcorn

This is going to be an interesting story once this all quiets down…

Not really. It’s easier to measure a count of a thing than it is to measure a count of groups of 8 of a thing. It’s just easier to display when you’re not wasting the cycles to devide it by 8 all the time.
