Installation process seems to be way more complicated than the one I did for Mint in my mum’s computer some time ago. Hard to compare, though; sometimes hardware clicks well with a system but not another.

Dolphin and Nautilus handle compressed files entirely transparently and much faster than Explorer does

Even Thunar does it, through the archive plugin. Thunar. From Xfce, a desktop environment known for avoiding fluff by design. Caja too, even if it’s based on the GNOME 2 version of Nautilus.

Office, email: I guess installing LibreOffice and Thunderbird would be against the spirit of the challenge, right?

Managing applications is also not as nice and effortless as it is on Linux

I’m so bloody glad for package managers.

Windows 11 also has a combined emoji/symbol picker now (Super + .),

Somewhat unrelated question: does anyone know if .XCompose works with Wayland? And if it doesn’t, what do I use as replacement?

1. With mkvtoolnix-gui. I’m often editing anime episodes; adding/removing subtitles, removing non-native audio, removing those “ENCODED BY JOHN SMITH”, etc. Often the checkboxes I need to click are predictably placed, so I use an autoclicker to do it once instead of clicking multiple checkboxes 12~24 times in a row.

2. Cheating on a shitty online gacha game I’ll never pour any money into.

Yup.

On a lighter side, apparently ydotool has a smarter design; instead of sending events to the X server like xdotool does, it emulates an input device. This means you can start using it before migrating to Wayland, and in case the Linux community eventually deprecates Wayland for something else, it should still work.

Now I just need a Wayland equivalent to grabc. A lot of my autoclicker scripts relies on it for dynamic behaviour, like “keep clicking $pixel1 until $pixel2 changes colour”.

I’ve been using Linux for long enough to have been disappointed multiple times. And 90% of the time it’s about regression. In no particular order:

• Liferea losing the ability to start hidden.
• KDE 4.0, a trainwreck that made me leave KDE altogether back then.
• Network Manager bug forcing my local IP to change, even if I need it static and predictable.
• Ubuntu ads. I think it was the straw that broke the camel’s back and forced me into Debian.

etc.

At those times I’m fucking glad I overengineered my autoclicker script. This means, once Wayland hits me, switching from xdotool to ydotool won’t cause me too much pain. (Most of the script stays as it is, only base functions like “Click” get remade. And yes, I’m lazy.)

That’s how I’d sleep too, even with the computer turned on as I seed and leech, but then there’s a cat-shaped arsehole who insists sleeping over me.

This graph compares the desktop OS market share split between Microsoft (Windows), Apple (OS X, iOS, macOS), Google (Chrome OS, Android), and what’s being reported as “Linux”. Notably, it removes the “Other”, “Playstation”, and “Unknown” values, and re-normalises the rest to 100 (percent). Made by downloading the data from StatCounter

Windows only share of the above.

Apple, Google, Linux shares of the above.

If you guys want to check the numbers and my maths here’s the spreadsheet.

I never understood it either.

CALL THE AMBERLAMPS! !tiodopave@lemmy.eco.br IS LEAKING AGAIN!

Still better than the Portuguese equivalent: “what does the arse[hole] have to do with the pants?” (o que o cu tem a ver com as calças?)

I like measuring things. Probably a carryover habit of my first uni (Chemistry), but the end result tends to be more predictable, and it helps me to avoid dumb mistakes from lack of attention.

For some things there’s a bit more leeway to eyeball things; for example, if I’m adding water to dough I’ll probably eyeball it. (Specially as hydration tends to behave weirdly in rainy days, so it’s better to go by texture than by fixed amounts.) But I’m certainly not eyeballing the amount of salt that goes in the polenta, rice or meats.

Side note I hate that Reddit oversimplification where people seem to believe cooking allows eyeballing but baking doesn’t. It stinks mental laziness; I think in both cases there’s some room for eyeballing, and some for precision.

I try my best to not be a dead weight, but I download pretty obscure shit so even if I keep the torrent seeding for a whole month people don’t download it.

Fuck, I remember it. It was 110% cute!

Note Black Torch predates Chainsaw Man by two years or so.

In fact I don’t know why they resurrected this series. But not complaining about it.

Prolly getting one season and that’s it, the story is ~20 chapters, but I don’t recall if it was axed or planned already short.

First episode was a decent intro of the two MCs (Jiro and Rago): good-natured punk who speaks with animal x mononoke who’s a shadow of his former self.

Amazing adaptation of the Eris gaiden. So much being done to show Eris’ character, beyond the words:

• cutting her own hair, a sign of determination
• punching Nina almost to death, to the point she literally pisses herself out of fear
• jumping back as Gal Farion goes forth, because she instinctively “knows” he’s a dangerous foe
• paying absolutely no attention to taunts, as Nina says she has more talent for brawling than swords
• Auber reaching for his second sword, as if knowing “this is a dangerous beast you can’t reason with”; etc.

In no moment you need to be said “this is why she’s called the Mad Dog”.

Ooooh, this part is hilarious. Nina thinking Eris is just making shit up on the spot, then finding Rudeus is actually way stronger than she expected!

Small info on the styles:

• Sword God Style values initiative. If you can cut down your opponent before they react, you win.
• Water God Style values defence. Provoke the opponent to act on predictable ways, so you can counterattack them.
• North God Style values flexibility. Dirty tricks, usage of the terrain, whatever it takes to stay alive.

They’re in a weird triangle of sorts: Sword God overwhelms North God, North God tricks Water God, Water God counters Sword God. That explains why it’s so important for Eris to train against all three styles; if she focuses on a single one, Orsted can simply use the one that beats it.

That “eleven” is an old meme :P

I fully agree with you. It goes three ways:

1. Cultural aspects play better alongside other drawings.
2. It forces you to look at what really matters for you, instead of some symbol you’ve been drilled to accept.
3. Flags are typically simplistic patterns, and there’s way more art on actually drawing something.

I’m not authority by all means. Just someone who’s cross-breeding peppers at home, and had to read about this stuff to know if my goal (four custom pepper varieties) is even viable with the varieties I have at hand.

The reason I used species names is because it’s cleaner — plenty species have multiple cultivars, cultivars often have local names, and some of those don’t even have an English name.

so I’ll take everything you said has fact

Please, don’t. It’s good to check info people mention in social media.
