So it’s only for premium users ?

Me waiting for Vhyrro to put up another Neovim video. It doesn’t take too long but I hate waiting ugh

Good to see some Sway love in here. Been using it for a year or so and it works great

I did an experiment where I used Distrobox for many apps not available on Debian. I installed an Arch distrobox and exported the packages. I found that it works great with simple programs, but I run into a few issues when using more complex programs. Jellyfin Media Player for example tended to have a memory leak and have a core dump on the desktop whenever it is closed. It uses twice as memory as the Flatpak for some reason. I had the same issue with Stremio which is also a video streaming app. For command line things it’s mostly fine. But this too can get tricky. I tried to use Neovim (Debian’s is a bit old) in the Arch distorbox. The issue is that if you need plugins that require some dependency with a given version then you have to also install those and export them which makes things messy. For example you may have a version of Nodejs on your Debian install but you’ll need to install Nodejs on the distorbox too and export it. It’s the same with many packages like that. You’ll run into some issues and waste time trying to figure out where is it coming from. Is it your machine or the distorbox? I ended up just building from source. Overall it’s a great project and might work for some software that you need. But it’s not something you can always rely on for everything. The app devs are not testing for that specific use case. It’s so great for testing and installing stuff and then destroying when you don’t need it anymore.

The Arabic “muakhirah” means something like “the behind”. Funny enough, it shares some roots with the word “muta’akhir” which means “being late” and “akhir” which means “the latest”. It’s polite and used even in some dialects to just refer politely to it. Every dialect though has other specific words that are more vulgar. Some are different in every country. Egyptians would use “Tiz” to refer to it and Moroccans would use the more vulgar “Zok”. Middle Eastern countries also often use “Tiz”.

Is Logseq FOSS ?

Well, they actually warned and desuaded Israel from a greater conflict. The tone they used was more direct, and harsher than anything they said when Israel is killing thousand of children.

Well, for example the US immediately scrambled to talk to Lebanon and work to actually avoid a war in Lebanon. They can immediately put pressure when they want to. The idea that they are helpless is just used to justify what they are doing now and throw smoke in the eyes as to their guilt and complicity.

They can do much much more when they want to.

I was so disappointed at Jerry Seinfel’a stance on the whole thing though. Which makes this meme ironic

Had me at “References >> 5 years old Chris Titus Tech YouTube video”

Software information says you’re already using Fedora ? Do you mean you want to switch distros ? If so, it’ll be useful to say what you’re looking for and why Fedora didn’t fulfill those needs so we can recommend alternatives.

Chad move

What I’m saying here has been said over and over again by leftist theorists who see the obsession with Trump as actually a mistake. It remains on the surface as this kind of politics of negativity (negativity in the philosophical sense )

I am actually a leftist who wants a proper left and not some dressed up liberal shit that’s just a consumable authoritarianism.

Alright if you say so. I might be wrong about this. But this overzealous response I got here is interesting. I still think there’s a valid critique of Trump but there’s a hysterics of Trump that functions in a weird way. The obsession, even now, with his every move and every word is interesting and for me goes beyond the simple fact that he was a bad president. It’s as if he becomes the stand-in for a proper systematic critique

Maybe just your reality ? I am Arabic and I can see the destabilization that’s occurring right in front of me due to the stupid blunders that Biden is doing. I have never felt that with Trump.

Why did you assume I am a European though ? I am Arabic and I can assure you Biden is having more of a destabilizing effect on me than Trump ever did.

I know what Trump said. I know he said dumb shit. That’s not my point. I am not saying Trump is good.

I know what scapegoating means. It has a specific sense in ideology critique (for example in Zizek’s Sublime object of Ideology). It means a figure in which a systematic issue is projected in order to mask the system itself. I am not saying Trump was good. I am saying the hysteric focus on him as this evil detached from the system, instead of a symptom and the culmination of it, is scapegoating. It doesn’t mean he is good. Even now when Biden condones war crimes we are hearing about Trump who has no power whatsoever. Trump is used to not confront what is there and what may give rise to other Trumps or maybe to some politically correct genocide suppoeter as a president.

I don’t see any 24/07 media attacks on Biden in the same way I saw with Trump. As someone not in the USA I see Biden as having much more of a terrible effect than Trump ever did. Some criticism of Trump is warranted but it sometimes borders on some weird hysteria where it obscures everything else. He is used as a way to obscure many systematic issues that were always already there and took even a bad turn now with Biden. The focus on Trump even now shows that he plays this role of obscuring and diverting attention. Why do you think people keep talking about him even if he has basically no power now ?
