@nixCraft @9Lukas5 Content Warning "Blood".🙏

@nixCraft totally relatable!

@nixCraft Stop complaining, you're holding it wrong!

@nixCraft@mastodon.social How to rizz a girl with Arch Linux

@nixCraft Sounds like a challenge to stop him, huh, girls? :0340:

"Wait, don't leave me!"

@nixCraft A while loop, that is intended to terminate, must move the state in a direction such that the exit condition is eventually satisfied. Not sure this is happening here.

@nixCraft laughs in IPv6

@nixCraft Mh, I mean Dual Stack already has the v6 part not behind a NAT, sooo... this is already the status quo. 🤷‍♀️

@nixCraft You guys have a public IP address?

@nixCraft so, it is ok to talk about emacs then?

What's the first rule of Vim fan club?

You must know at least 5 different ways to exit Vim. But you'll still somehow manage to get stuck. 😂

@nixCraft Unfortunately "until it stops getting security updates" is effectively the same as "until it dies" for many, though some ignore it longer than they should. LineageOS can help some there.

Hopefully my P8P makes it through all 7 years of its updates+support.

@nixcraft I bought my current phone for Mario Kart Tour, Im using It until It dies.

@nixCraft I see at least three zoologically named packages, you definitely have a fun night ahead

@nixCraft
Is not a feature, neither a bug; just small non functional or not lethal mutation.

@nixCraft speaking of animal names, I can't seem to find package python3-numba on Noble Numbat and this combination of strings is being frustratingly difficult to Google for

@nixCraft
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@nixCraft the reason why i got 365 licenses already and wont stop buying more :D

@nixCraft I have 420 licenses 😂

@nixCraft cutting down costs in prevision of the revenue loss from Google paying Mozilla to make Google it’s default browser, caused by the defeat from Google on court on a antitrust case, brought by the Departement of Justice of the United States of America.

Sadly, Mozilla didn’t cut on AI crap.

@nixCraft If I had to guess, they wanted a stake in the ground in case there were monetisation opportunities. There were none.

@nixCraft because they need the server to run IA

@nixCraft I installed arch once just to see if I could and I could without much trouble.

well... on my SECOND go, on the first one I forgot to install the network drivers so I had no internet access at all and couldn't do anything anymore haha

@nixCraft No X usage please

@nixCraft

OMG. I did i with a tutorial 😂

yay -S network-manager-applet
yay -S networkmanager
sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager
sudo systemctl disable system-resolved
sudo systemctl disable systemd-networkd
sudo systemctl start NetworkManager

and added "exec-once = nm-applet --indicator" to my hyprland .conf

@nixCraft code-code is better than jaw-jaw

@nixCraft ffmpeg based

@nixCraft@mastodon.social FFmpeg taking the piss out of sound wave is the best kind of internet irony i could have hoped for today

@nixCraft systemd is good, main developers attitude is shit.

@nixCraft Windows just keeps getting ever worse because nobody screams - "Stop. This is bad". I dumped Windows back when XP was still around. There has been no version of Windows that hasn't been bad in some way or another. I went from XP to OSX to Linux. I've used Linux exclusively for most of the past 10 years.

@nixCraft and that, my friends, is the event that starts the year of the Linux desktop.

@nixCraft Dang it. A long time ago I gave a talk on the wonders of sox(1). I had a shell script that would use it to play happy birthday, but I can't find it now.

@nixCraft *squints at*

@nixCraft 1980 for me was a lot closer to 1Mhz/1Kb where did they get all that ram from? Even Bill Gates didn’t need more than 640K

@nixCraft

For me it greatly depends on how much I care about what I'm doing.

If I don't care too much, I prefer GUI.

If I care, I prefer CLI.

@nixCraft It is because the command line is stable and does not change all the time. GUIs also generally lack consistency and modularity. It could be different in theory. i don't know why GUIs arre so bad and need to be change all time.

@nixCraft No, I think he meant natural languages. I can speak C anytime.

@nixCraft I've always felt that the number of programming languages doesn't count, it's the depth of knowledge in them that counts. The person who knows one language perfectly well is more powerful than the one who knows the surface level knowledge of them all. The jack of all trades should be atleast master of one. Took me several language hops to realise it.

@nixCraft I can also speak in formal languages; that is, predicate, first-order, and second-order logic-and by speak, I mean read like how an archaeologist would read Egyptian hieroglyphics or Old Chinese.

@nixCraft @paco RIP BeOS: https://www.haiku-os.org/legacy-docs/bebook/TheKernelKit_SystemInfo.html#is_computer_on

@nixCraft It was a joke API, but that was secondary to it being a do-nothing syscall, useful for measuring system call overhead.

#BeOS

@nixCraft
This thread was a fun read! 🙂

@nixCraft Relatable 😆

@nixCraft now test it properly ...

@nixCraft Other way around? The youngins have their fancy IDE's and I'm just plugging away with emacs in a text editor.

@nixCraft I wonder if he has a dominant eye, sighting with both open is wild to me, a person with terrible eyesight

I know if I’m shooting offhand , cross your free arm on your chest, more stable.
