🎵 I sense there’s something in the wind

That feels like tragedy’s at hand 🎵

RIP 😥

KDE on Wayland has only very recently started to become workable for me, before that it was utter crap as I switch between home and office with my laptop, with varying display setups. In that case you got stuff like screen positions not being remembered and applications consistently starting off screen, requiring gymnastics to coax them onto a display.

And regularly it would crap out and not show output to one of the displays, if you opened up display manager you’d see the displays not touching and a big red error telling you that gaps betweens displays aren’t supported. Well here’s a brilliant idea, how about not automatically putting a gap between them in that case?

As I said, last few months it works better (although I still encounter some issues from time to time that I never had on X11). But the whole Wayland protocol had such a rough start, with issues encountered often being downplayed by parts of the community because “it’s better and we don’t want to hear otherwise”, that I simply cannot feel any love for it anymore. There was too much basic stuff that took too long to support, while people were shouting “but HDR!”, “better code!”. I don’t fucking care, I just want to be able to work and for too long that required X11.

Edit: some typo’s and improved readability.

Take care of yourself and do what you think is right. Judging the other posts of the person your replied to they’re just there to spread division. Don’t feed the trolls, they’re probably getting fed enough on the Russian troll farm already.

Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour unattended-upgrades?

Reminds me of the time I ran a FreeBSD webserver from home, compiling Apache from source took the better part of a day. But still good times, learned a lot from that experience.

Less if you were sensible and included an error correction scheme to combat the unreadable sectors that were bound to pop up after a while. I can be quite nostalgic, but if there is one thing I don’t miss it’s the ‘reliability’ of floppies.

The first laptop I bought had a DVD burner which came with support for LightScribe, which required discs with a special coating. You designed a cover, put the disc in your drive upside down and it would burn the image into the disc. You could only do grayscale as far as I know, but I still thought it was pretty neat at the time.

Skewed telemetry probably, as most users that are aware you can move the taskbar are also aware you can just disable the phone home crap and will therefore not show up in the statistics.

You’d be hard pressed to find a company that still allows/accepts manual payment here, for recurring payments it’s basically mandatory to use direct debit. At the other hand, manually paying wouldn’t save on any fees.

Are those 15 bucks a banking fee?

More like the 26th here, that’s when almost every company executes their direct debit. Manually paying bills is, with a rare exception, not a thing here anymore.

The 1st is the date I think off when I finally remember to turn over the birthday calendar around the 20th and have to decide whether or not I’m going to skip to the next month. 😋

Yeah, that’s definitely a concern. My first installation shredded its SD card in no time due to each request getting logged and stored on disk. Turning off long term query logging mitigated that issue, for my home network I don’t care about that history anyway.

He definitely earned my respect when he told Biden to send bullets, instead of offering to evacuate him. He could have chosen safety, but instead stayed even though chances were that they wouldn’t be able to hold back the Russians.

I don’t quite agree, RoboCop 2 lacked some of the depth of the original in my opinion and come on: can you really beat Ronny Cox and Kurtwood Smith as the villainous duo? 😉

Having said that, RoboCop 2 is definitely still worth watching!

It’s a scene from 1990’s RoboCop 2.

For a moment I thought you wrote “GREAT LEADER MEETS WITH GENITALS.”, guess that could also have been true.

I don’t care. Our civilization will collapse, the earth will become uninhabitable and the universe will die at some point. So whatever we leave behind ultimately doesn’t matter anyway. I try to make life as enjoyable as possible for myself and my GF and try to be a positive influence for my friends, family, colleagues and neighbourhood. When it’s over, it’s over and I’m not going to worry about what I’m leaving behind. I’m an insignificant speck in the grand scheme of things and I’m just fine with that.

No kids and no legacy to worry about sounds quite good to me actually.

I too enjoy the crunchy texture of shampoo. Never thought of grating it though, I definitely should try that. Variety is the spice of life after all and the spice must flow.

It’s just: “De man is dood”. We don’t capitalise nouns, only proper nouns like names and places (same as in English). Germans do, but that language is even weirder than ours. 😋

Zwarte Piet has nothing to do with Christmas, it’s part of Sinterklaas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Nicholas). While Santa Clause was based off this character, its an entirely different festivity.
