I remebered that the "kind and heartwarming memes" community/group in one of social networks I used was one of most toxic communities I've seen

Light bulb in my toilet room went flash and boom.

My head hurts too much now because of extra loud sound

C++ made me lose my mind today

Why, just why the same code but made by another person works, but my version that does the same thing but inside of a class just says f you and segfaults

After futher inspection it's apparent that I had completely misunderstood the task

That's right, silly me, thinking that we will actually make a practical lesson on the topic we just barely touched on lectures. Of course we will get 10 times harder abomination that seems to be a random set of mathematical rules that I cannot even properly imagine so I assumed it was a complex way of saying about tge thing we actually learned about, until one of groupmates said about it

Alright, I finally made Alpine work again and even installed language packs for kde

Current issues are:
- Semiautomatic KDE install is borked
- Wayland is somewhat borked in general, both plasma and wlroots-based stuff
- Language packs are installed manually for the applications
- For some reason I still want to use it for my university project despite knowing people would prefer more compatible and non-tech user-ready option

Reject trying to push ChatGPT as serious tool

Embrace using ai as intended, for making up stupid and short fanfics about random characters

Actually good usecase for text generating AIs was demonstrated on DougDoug streams - using it as game master for roleplaying games with intent of making stuff silly and unpredictable

I now slowly begin to understand linux users’ beef with systemd and other “default” things in modern distributions

It’s irritating when alternatives are not actually worse at what you need, but they are only available in awfully incompatible with everything else distributions that cannot even have the same issues consistently

Alpine repeatedly tries to make lose my faith in it. After first successes no attempts at installing on a VM went well to the point of plasma working for some unknown reason

And also, why is wiki so awfully incorrect at stuff? I guess it’s outdated but holy pancakes, stuff just doesn’t work if I use their semi automated install of xorg/wayland and DEs and barely works with manual install, shouldn’t they at least say some workarounds at wiki?

I usually see mentions in non-linux computer-related places that community of Linux are "elitists" or that they are gatekeeping and that's why there is no Linux year etc

I think it is mostly misunderstanding because, well, people who tend to be good at something really do think it is easy, and even if they are told it is not, it doesn't neseccarily make it easier to understand how much it's hard for other person.

And also, linux is a community based effort, and people tend to get mad at someone that cannot appreciate this effort just because they cannot provide the same out of box expirience on hardware specifically made for Windows, or the same feature set that is already been made by... let's see, one company with budget counted in billions, in the whole world.

So in the end, Windows folk that don't have resolve to patiently learn linux, will not go and learn linux even if Misrosoft will, I don't know, literally beat them to near death. The same goes for people that need specific things not availible on Linux, like reliable acessibility tools or specific videogames with kernel level anticheats.

Alpine acts like it’s heard my praise and decided to stop completely stop working for me :cirno_pout:

Alright, I’ve locked myself out of my Alpine VM while experimenting with setup-keymap ^^ (as part of trying to get language in a system as whole changed)

On of the downsides of kde for me is an inability to make sorting the same in task manager and task switcher

It doesn’t allow me to have Material Shell-like Meta+a/d switching and makes switching windows using shortcut generally chaotic

It’s sad that most of fediverse features don’t work well on native clients (Just tried Tokodon, it generally works but media is borked in many ways and it hangs up after a minute of using)

Off to upgrading to fedora 38 and praying to Reisen that qtbase package conflicts are not a big issue and --allowerasing flag fixed them

Tried Alpine in a VM again, set it up in ~40 minutes compared to ~ 3 hours last time, and made a lot more stuff than last time, even adding tmpfs-based home partition in fstab (it was one of things I tested since I plan to include it in my "Linux for university" project) very quickly

KDE working smoothly on 2 cpu cores, 1 gb of ram (-300MB tmpfs partition even), and <3GB of disk space, and even properly running several apps like Konsole, Writer and Chromium, this made me think that even if I won't probably use it for project (since musl and locale setting problems) I could install it on an "old" AMD laptop I will get next month and will use in University

Thanks to minetest devs adding crosshair mode to mobile build, NodeCore is now appears pretty much playable on Android.

It's a good game to pass time on phone since it's more calm and purely sandbox/exploration expirience.

AI picture, Anything Diffusion took several hours to finally generate the thing I wanted “somewhat” but it required a lot of manual fixes and even after that it does not look good.

Inkscape picture that took ~15 minutes to make on a whim today.

Original picture - 3d character made in VRoid studio and which was base for both pictures above

AI-generated anime image with visible artifacts. Black haired maid with red-ish eyes with a sword in one hand and cloth in the other. She is looking distrustful and angry at you. Backgorund is gray.
Vector image that looks polygonal and amateur. Black haired maid with red eyes and without headband that holds sword handle end with two hands. Her hair has small ponytail. She is looking kinda bored and her pose is calm. Background is crimson red.
3d render in anime style. Black haired maid with redish eyes holds nothing in her hands, and it looks like she either just holds one with another, or should hold sword like on previous pictures. She is looking mischevious, and her hair without a headband has small ponytail and big ahoge. Background is almost white.

Some update to freeimage package broke imv on Fedora 37 (I didn’t update yet)

The most funny thing - It seems like it’s the same issue as was a year ago with the same packages, that was already fixed once

Tired Bunny :bunhdcomfysleep:

Ease of downgrading is a good thing though, just sudo dnf downgrade freeimage in terminal and everything works again
