lime!

you know all the shootings that have been reported from sweden the past few years?

one thing gnome is really good at is multitouch touchpad gestures. when on a laptop, and you don’t have to move a lat to get to the mouse, it’s very quick.

sweden also has oil peaker plants, the largest ones in europe, but most of them are condemned. it’s mostly hydro. we did have pumped hydro for a while but that closed in the 80s due to bad economic viability (up until a year or so ago i was paying €0.02/kWh)

maybe it’s because i grew up with vhs first but dvd always felt like a lot of hassle compared to just “put it in and watch”

oh absolutely, it’s fascinating to hear a perspective i didn’t know existed.

i ripped all my dvds specifically to get rid of the menus because they were slow, hard to use, and full of frustrating animations. they usually just felt like an afterthought.

i’ve never been one to be swayed by extras, it usually just feels akin to jingling keys to get me to buy shit. maybe i’m weird.

it’s called “distrohopping”, and yes. nowadays it’s easier to do it in a vm, but less fun

thankfully there is a -bin package

i’ve never heard of anyone that keeps dvd menus around. like, i get it for archival purposes but i would never want to actually navigate a menu when i want to watch something. in my mind it’s like sitting through the commercials on a rented vhs. i would probably store a converted copy as well, in a format that would let me specify from the application what track and subtitle i want so i can set a default.

oh this was a while ago, i currently don’t have a homelab. i gave up waiting for mods to update and then it slipped my mind.

do you use a premade compose file or did you write your own? i started out my own but it quickly got very complicated…

oh?

macos is a certified unix.

no, linux is a unix-like. macos is an actual unix.

i tend to use mit for things i see little value in, and something stronger for things i think may be useful.

but i don’t get to publish much code.

the “take our work and pay us nothing, please” crowd.

i’ve got a problem with what ESR calls open source.

like, the fact that free software is inherently political has been explored elsewhere in the thread, but the term “open source” was started by people who wanted to distance themselves from the free software movement due to them disliking that it was anti-commercial. the open source movement wanted more companies to adopt their code, in contrast to the GNU people trying to stop their work being absorbed into the old big iron.

and they won.

i feel like you missed the time between 1990 and 2005 when american libertarians caused a schism in the free software movement by popularising open source.

i don’t know if you’re being ironic but that does make me sad to hear. took me like 25 minutes and i still messed it up, but i had fun writing it all out and i hoped others would find it fun to. that my writing is apparently that soulless is disheartening.

fwiw i would never post llm output unmarked. i don’t think people deserve that.

FUCK
