AVincentInSpace ,

GIMP is shit, use Krita instead

AVincentInSpace ,

i've been seeing a lot of dungeon meshi content lately and i have to say i greatly approve

AVincentInSpace ,

yeah, he spelled exquisite wrong, 0/10 would not read again

AVincentInSpace ,

Those who do not move do not notice their chains.

Noticing your chains and beginning to rattle them, and encouraging your peers to do the same, is the first step to releasing yourself from them, but it is not the only step.

I haven't had an opportunity to test it myself yet, but I've heard very good things about NixOS. The basic premise is that all of your system state, every config file in /etc, every package you have installed, everything, is defined by a single configuration file called configuration.nix. If you back up just your home directory and that file, you can plonk it into a brand new copy of NixOS, run a single command, and have it redownload and re-set-up everything else exactly how you left it.

AVincentInSpace ,

Speaking of, how is NixOS for gaming? I remember trying it a while ago but not being able to get the Nvidia drivers working. I've since switched to a machine with AMD graphics though.

AVincentInSpace ,

this is the nerdiest joke twitter can handle before they start getting scared

AVincentInSpace ,

Yeah. The Declaration of Independence was a Reddit post. The Constitution is the result of a bunch of 30 year old men arguing over what should and shouldn't be in there, and one guy hopelessly transcribing their argument and hoping they'll sign it because he'll be buggered if he'll copy all that out again.

("The Vice President shall be the leader of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided." Yes, that's how having an odd number of voters works...)

It is good to know though that white Internet libertarians predate the Internet by about 2 centuries.

what if I need to nest if lets

AVincentInSpace ,

what if i need to if let on the result of another if let

if you're wondering why people hate vegans, it's because you post shit like this

Systemd breaks its own standards. Oh, were you making a replacement for this component of systemd that does some things the systemd version doesn't? Well the latest version of systemd just changed the Unix socket protocol that it uses to communicate with the rest of systemd from text based to binary. Sorry for the lack of warning.

AVincentInSpace ,

buys masterclass

Okay so step one is you're gonna download Scratch

AVincentInSpace ,

wait they made an electric hummer?

How does harddrive failure work when there's multiple partitions?

My laptop's HDD is failing, it shows a bunch of signs such as slow file manipulation and clicking sounds. The Linux btrfs partition keeps going into read-only mode to prevent further damage, makes sense, but the windows partition is working fine (for now)....

AVincentInSpace ,

Seconding this. OP, get a new drive, get a live USB with ddrescue on it, and get that transfer started, stat.

AVincentInSpace ,

So much piracy. So much.

AVincentInSpace ,

people who aren't tankies

AVincentInSpace ,

there need to be more though

a lot more

both because lemmy is way too small atm and for my mental health

The problem I have is not that all men are assumed dangerous until proven otherwise, but that no women are.

AVincentInSpace , (edited )

Lesbians are 25% more likely than straight women to be on the receiving end of domestic violence. Women are no more universally saints than men are universally sinners and I'm tired of women pretending they are.

If you're going to decide whether or not you can trust someone based on nothing but their outward appearance, at least be right.

[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don't come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don't really get upset by it...

AVincentInSpace ,

because vegans never, ever, miss an opportunity to tell you they hope the blood of baby seals that went into your burger was worth it

AVincentInSpace ,

#notallvegans? really?

you can text 911 though?

AVincentInSpace ,

What's a sex class? How is it defined? Does it include age groups? How about hermaphrodites?

AVincentInSpace ,

Yeah see the thing is she didn't say anything like that. She just assumes everyone knows what a "sex class" is to avoid having to define it herself.

AVincentInSpace ,

Show me where she says what those words mean.

AVincentInSpace , (edited )

"A woman is someone who belongs to the sex class that produces large gametes." That's all she said. No word on what a sex class entails, or whether someone who no longer produces large gametes, or who should produce them but can't due to a genetic defect, continues to be in it.

You have one more reply before I report you for being a troll.

AVincentInSpace ,

Lemmy is just Reddit with a tenth the userbase and political takes that are somehow even worse (now with 500% more bothsidesism!)

@TheCoolerMia is flying dangerously close to the sun

AVincentInSpace ,

Forget playback. How was that video file recorded? How do you even store data that fast, let alone encode it?

AVincentInSpace , (edited )

There are people who like VLC, but for me personally, MPV has a much cleaner interface, better configuration options, and when it comes to streaming video, MPV absolutely destroys VLC (especially when changing playback speed while the video is playing -- VLC has the audio cut out for several seconds and MPV doesn't, and that's to say nothing of the MPEG glitches)

AVincentInSpace ,

Ohhhhhh. It's a video decoder torture test. "If your app can play this it can play anything" sort of deal. That makes sense.

Also makes sense that VLC puked.

AVincentInSpace ,

of course not they'd be shot down

since there are no missile launchers in the ocean it is perfectly safe

"I'm so leftist I'm voting for Trump" --some young voters unironucally

I want to believe this, I do, but that would mean that !libertyhub is filled with nothing but

That describes like half of Lemmy though

AVincentInSpace ,

holy fucking bingle

AVincentInSpace ,

Isn't like the entire point of Matrix that it's end to end encrypted, thus rendering any data servers acquire useless?

You could make the metadata argument, but having one node aware of even most transactions is better than having one node aware of all of them.

AVincentInSpace ,

Well, duh. It isn't there to protect you. It's there to protect the mortgage company.

AVincentInSpace ,

I kind of expected to see Starbucks here. Have they cleaned up their act?

AVincentInSpace ,

i use...colors...

the servers in my and my friends' network are called Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Heracles, and hp_elitedesk (don't ask about those last two

I do come up with fancy names for my laptops though, usually some combination of the model of the laptop and the OS it's running. Void Linux + Thinkpad = "voidpad" was pretty straightforward, but when my next machine was an Alienware running Arch I was a bit stuck. After a bit of thought I remembered that one episode of Star Trek with the Guardian of Forever and named it "guardianoffornow"

AVincentInSpace ,

another commenter did a better job explaining it than i could

AVincentInSpace ,

aw come on, you can't just post something like that and then not link the video
