This looks good but the readme gives major AI vibes - anyone know more about the AI usage on this project? I’ll trust a clanker with translating / formatting the readme but absolutely not with writing code to handle my files lol

Corsair specifically has type 4, type 5, etc so yea even the same brand’s cables aren’t safe to use across PSUs

I thought there was a memes comm on fedinsfw tbh but I’m not finding it with a quick search rn

Sway has HDR now??? Sounds like I can finally ditch hyprland, so happy about this

Can’t wait for niri to come out with hdr support and make me change all my dotfiles for the third time in a month now

That’s completely unreasonable, if we did that then oligarchs wouldn’t be able to have different yachts for every day of the week or buy elections. Who are we to ask them to give up the necessities of their lives?

For the first question, sort of?

Many things are the same or very similar on most/all distros, like working with files and drives from the command line. Different distros can come with different (or no) graphical interfaces for everything, so sometimes things change visually but not under the hood. The ways you can learn more and/or troubleshoot are generally the same, though, so even moving from your first distro to a very different one you’d likely be much quicker to adapt.

Some things will be very different depending on distro tho, like installing or updating your software. Two unrelated distros can have very different syntax for doing this, though the tools usually follow the same general idea. There’s app stores some distros include that’re intended to paper over these differences so the end user doesn’t experience them so much, tho, so if you’re using the same app store (ie discover, on distros using plasma) you may not notice these differences so much.

Mostly, though, the differences between Linux distros are much smaller than the difference between Linux and windows and the FOSS software ecosystem will be a one-time adjustment for most users. I don’t follow podcasts or videos so I don’t have anything helpful to share there, but imo the most useful Linux resource is the arch wiki regardless of whether or not you’re actually using arch. A video specific to your distro will probably be the quickest and easiest way to learn things, but if you ever want a comprehensive look at something so that you really understand it, go there.

Welcome to Linux!

I have no choice but to be ahead of the pack, because if they don’t shower or wipe their asses the smell behind them would be intolerable

IMO my value as a person shouldn’t be dependent on the people around me, so many guys being shitty makes them bad (and society fucked) but doesn’t make me better than I was. I strive for mediocrity and I’m proud to have achieved it by my own efforts, rather than just by default because the average got worse lmao

As a mediocre man(?) I just wanna say these women are based, it’s the shitty men who fear them

As a Canadian, yes lol

I just want “American” to be a convenient umbrella term like “European”, to have an easy way to refer to people from north/central/south America even if it’s way too late considering the connotation of “American === US” is already way too strong to break

Appreciate the openness to input!

Spoken like someone who also has a measly 98% 😤

Isn’t the attitude just a measure of how much you upvote people vs downvote?

Either way this really made me laugh, thank you

I know rimu’s profile pic is public, but it still feels very invasive to me to put a real person’s face (who’s not a public figure) on a meme like this

I appreciate you for fighting the good fight here, so please don’t take this as criticism:

This shit is colored like the Epstein files lmao

They’re absolutely right about the packaging for many distros needing work - I’ve been using sudo-rs as a replacement for sudo on arch for a long time now and it’s been great, except for the install. Installing this and removing the original sudo was a pain in the ass and requires installing the original sudo first to get the default configs. If this changed, I think a lot more people would try it and adoption would benefit a lot.

Ironically the only time I’ve ever had this problem with a mouse was with a wired one… on windows lmao

This is fully a guess, not familiar with the codebase at all, but I assume it’s because the account is new rather than running image transcription and filtering given how expensive (in compute) that’d be

I think this is a perfect fit for a crosspost to !buildapc@lemmy.world and/or !buildapc@lemmy.ca as well
