I have started using linux for 6 months since I leave Windows and already tried ubuntu, arch and liked mint besides arch AUR be so useful, but because I have had some issues with rolling release I choose mint, and I sometimes need latest package, there is somehow to install without being though appimage and tarball?
Yeah if they want to update system packages it’s where things end up in dependency hell. You want newer X, it needs newer Y, it needs newer Z and it’s a a library half the packages of the system depends on and the rest of the system goes boom.
It’s actually why I went to Arch, I need to hold back packages way more rarely than I want newer everything else.
I’m guessing he’s trying to spell something dirty again with his companies like he did with the Tesla models (S, 3, X, Y). Dude basically is a 13 year old boy if they were given billions of dollars.
Pardon formatting, on mobile. Its a form of device authentication. Apple does this with safari already BTW, and it can reduce things like captcha because the authentication is done on the backend when a request hits a server. While still an issue in concept with Apple doing it, chromium browsers are a much larger market share. In layman’s terms this is basically the company saying, hey you are attempting to visit this site, we need to verify the device (or browser, or add on configuration, or no ad blocker, etc) is ‘authentic’. Which of course is nebulous. It can be whatever the entity in charge of attestation wants it to be.
This sets the precedent that whomever is controlling verification, can deny whomever they see fit. I’m running GrapheneOS on my phone currently, they could deny for that. Or, if you are blocking ads. Maybe you’re not sharing specific information about your device, and they want to harvest that. Too bad, comply or you’re ‘not allowed to do x or y’.
This is the gist. The web should be able to be accessed by anybody. It isn’t for companies to own nor should it be built that way. Web2 is a corporate hellscape.
So, plainly, my questions are what know-how do I need to make one and if I ultimately can make one, how do I integrate it into a platform? E.g how did the pipedbot link I got to see, get integrated into lemmy in the comments section?...
Yeah, most people don’t realize programming is just reading websites/documents and trying to figure out how to fit piece A to piece B.
I mean there’s some programs where there’s no real APIs, but for the most part it’s mostly “Get X to do Y” I do networking code for a router and a decent chunk of what I REALLY do in code is configuring stuff based on how our device is configured… or configuring stuff that configures stuff.
Why weren’t those monetary subsidies just after the fact instead of just paying out on promises? “You’ll get x billion dollars when y% of this area has access to z Mbps.” But then again I’ve heard there’s monopolies for that in the USA, instead of actual competition.
Today’s blogpost is all about my flailing to refine and streamline my design docs into a coherent rulebook. I read enough of the d**** things you’d think I would know how to compile and order one. I understand the basics and where I went wrong, and have roadmap, but compared to design development is long and grindy....
All I can say is: I've been trained for academic writing for like 8 years now, and I still struggle to do it without a good template. Formatting in a text editor is it's very own skillset IMO.
Most important is to make a skeleton, a loose progression of stuff like
1.X
2.Y
2.1 Z
And look at ONLY that for a while and think 'what do I want to reach each chapter? Why is this chapter here and not earlier/after? What needs to be said before this can make sense, and is the flow of it logical?
what will be the next question on my readers mind, and does this Adress it?'
Also think about who you are writing for. What do you need to explain, and what can you expect as given etc
You need to read everything in reverse for things to make sense. When you hear politicians making a promise they will do x and y if they get ellected, what they are really saying is that they will definitly not do it. In the same vein when companies like Google say “don’t be evil” they are really saying “we’re evil af lmao”.
To my knowledge, there had been an understanding that scientists were being fairly conservative with their statements of how bad things were going to get, and how fast it was going to happen.
I know of two primary drivers for this (which I am somewhat oversimplifying for brevity):
Scientists really didn't want to get it wrong by saying X will definitely happen by year Y, and then be wrong, thus giving ammunition to climate deniers and vested interests running counter-PR such as oil companies.
Scientists didn't want to paint a picture of unstoppable, inevitable doom that no person could possibly imagine a way for them to fix, or contribute to fixing, thus leading to the mindset of 'if there's no way to stop it why even try?'.
I cannot connect via VNC or see the folders from other devices.
Troubleshooting literally anything with computers requires logs, error messages, description of current behavior (ideally with expected behavior), and a background of what other devices/systems/OSes/etc are involved.
Posts like this that basically say “it doesn’t work” with no additional context will NEVER get you any help because no one knows what problem you are seeing.
“I’m running X os, version Y. I’m trying to do Z. The error message i am seeing in the logs for $SERVICE is ‘FATAL: Unable to do $TASK’. I tried to do this but I’m still not seeing the expected behavior.”
Listen I get it, plucky young upstart, who wants to get into college, that’s the story everyone loves to read about?
But think about the opportunity. Daughter A has everything, comes from a better school, every tutor, every computer, every summer camp, devotes her life to some subject.
Daughter B has nothing, ends up having to work at 15, misses school days because of sick family, doesn’t always have someone to help her with homework and so on.
Daughter A is likely to have higher grades, attendance, performance, ability and skill. More awards, recognition, accomplishments, and potential. She even might be slightly ahead in college courses just arriving at school.
So if you were the schools admission officer in what world do you think B is a better fit than A? A is probably more set on their dream of doing X and has the funds to reach it where B might have to leave school because of a lack of funds or a family obligation. And besides which is more likely to give more money to the school? (As much as they don’t want to say it, come on schools are businesses we know this)
Now I get it, we want B to have an opportunity and a chance, and she should, but rich people already have all the benefits in life, even if you remove their wealth, you literally would have to actively ignore a rich student to place a truly poor student above them. But when you take away all the other accomplishments, you likely won’t harm our A student , but you’ll harm versions of B who has gotten awards, recognition, accomplishments, did well on SAT, and so on
Let’s change it then, we want to only take in students who fit X or Y criteria. Maybe go to an inner city school, maybe X amount of community service, maybe has a hard luck story. The thing is… with in a full cycle (3-4 years). We’ll start seeing the rich students move towards those groups. Now B might not be in an inner city school but Daughter A would suddenly be there if that’s what it would take. She will still get tutored so she’s not as harmed by it, but she can also satisfy those requirements because her parents have enough money to make it happen.
The point I’m making is it’s near impossible to offset “being rich” in any meaningful way that would last long enough to be worth it. What you’d end up hammering is the Upper middle class who has just enough money to be seen as rich, but not enough money to truly use it the way the “True rich” does.
I’m trying to find a good method of making periodic, incremental backups. I assume that the most minimal approach would be to have a Cronjob run rsync periodically, but I’m curious what other solutions may exist....
[Endlessly replayable roguelike. Clear each floor, identify potions, drink the right one to level up so you can use better weapons and armor, keep your health high and see how deep you can get in the dungeon. Game time only advances when you move.]
Slay the Spire
[Deck building game. Use attack, skill, and power cards to beat enemies and earn new cards, use your choice of cards, relics, potions, and card upgrades to create synergies in your deck and make it past all three acts to win the game. Deck resets when you lose (or win).]
Infinitode 2
[Tower defense game. Stop enemy shapes from advancing to earn gold, use gold to buy new towers, upgrade your towers, and swap out various types of tower to maximize your efficiency. Keep an eye on how close enemies are getting to your base or it will be overrun before you notice.]
Super Auto Pets
[Pocket monster-style battling game. Use a limited amount of resources each turn to buy new bitmoji animals and watch your team face off against a random opponent at the same stage of the game, keep hearts if you win, lose hearts if you lose, get better quality pets each round you progress. See if you can win ten rounds to claim victory.]
Tomb of the Mask
[Classic-style 2D arcade game. Use the four directional controls to zip past moving obstacles, collect all the dots on your way to the exit if you can, enjoy the snappy movements and fun retro sound effects. Very reflex-driven.]
Antiyoy
[Turn-based hexagon-tiled conquest game. Buy houses to get more income, buy soldiers and towers to protect your land, upgrade soldiers and towers to face off against enemy assets, careful you don’t upgrade them more than your income supports, enjoy the many hundreds of user-submitted maps. Single player by default, or get Antiyoy Online to compete against other players.]
Mindustry
[Realtime strategy. Research new technologies, build mining drills, create weapons, face off against enemy forces to control the map. Steep learning curve.]
Dungeon Cards
[Tile-based strategy game. Pick a card, help your card survive on a 3x3 grid by using the four directional controls to swap places with any adjacent card, while being careful not to pick fights you can’t win, be strategic about when you pick up weapons and potions. Don’t get caught surrounded by poisons, explosives, or enemies at the wrong moment.]
Atomas
[Science-themed matching game. Distribute atoms around a ring, watch atoms merge and transform into larger atoms when they match, set up chain reactions of many atoms each finding their mates at the same time, careful not to fill the ring beyond its capacity. Learn the periodic table in the process.]
I Love Hue
[Relaxing color matching game. Get a mess of jumbled tiles on a grid and swap tiles around until they form pleasing gradients along both the y and x axes. Breathe in. Hold… Breathe out.]
Honorable classic game mentions:
Chess [It’s chess.]
Rummikub [“Rummy-cube”, compete against other players, using tiles from your hand to form “runs” (red3, red4, red5) and “sets” (red3, blue3, black3) in the playing area until a player wins by using all their tiles. At least 3 tiles per set/run, must play 30 points from your own hand on the same turn before manipulating tiles played by others.]
Rommy’s Gauntlet [Level-for-level remake of the Windows 95 “Best of Windows Entertainment Pack” classic, Chip’s Challenge. Tile-based puzzle game.]
Not necessarily. You’d be surprised. It’s generally this: what will do task X for Y cost and be maintained for Z. That and the level of control and usability and user reception will be what decides this. Not mac vs pc elitism or marketing.
Not when you don’t call it research and just say “I read about what scientist X has to say about topic Y, isn’t that interesting?” It’s not “I did my own research and here’s the true facts!” The latter is usually about shoring up your preconceived notions anyway.
Changed to X Æ A-XII because numbers weren't legal, pronounced "X Ash A Twelve", nicknamed "X". And the second was Exa Dark Sideræl (pronounced sigh-deer-ee-el), now known just as "Y" or, according do Grimes, "?", because it's pronounced "Why".
So Musk has children called X and Y, two companies called SpaceX and X, and Tesla has Models S, 3 (E), X, Y.
Why Musk? No, not you, I'm asking your dad.
Exactly. Blame/credit (blame in this case) doesn’t travel that way.
Take the following example: Alice and Bob both support view X. Bob also supports view Y. Y is evil. Then, Bob can be deemed responsible for supporting view Y. But X does not become evil because Bob is. And so Alice is completely fine.
It is like trying to equate which Greek god your tribal deity fits into
Left and right are literally left and right… there is no up and down… there is no forward or backward… there is no x y and z, just literal directions of one single line.
As a concept, it is even more useless across international lines, so I’m not sure why you suggest that it is due to a single country. “Just right-wing and more far-right”… yes, very “spectrum… on multiple axis”… … … An atypical example of just what I criticize, and I have no doubt they will do a flip and be the “left” when it also suits recognizing US Democrats as such.
All you’ve given me the impression of is that for the US parties, you prioritize the similarity of their international policies, and that you are critical of them and likely identify under the “left” deity. That is, it implies more about your beliefs to refer to them as “just right-wing and more far-right” by how you try to fit them into the “left-right” pantheon than saying “X is right-wing and Y is more far-right” tells me about those parties.
Try to apply that to parties of a different nation and you’ll end up with very different impressions, compared to a much more consistent notion when you attempt to distinguish between the parties that try to follow their political goals within the structure of their constitution and design of their governments and those that don’t mind breaking it to achieve their goals (at least when comparing governments of the same type).
The whole terminology of left and right, it’s ego, manifested, a way to say “I’m right, you are wrong” without saying it for something that never easily reduces down to such terseness, and the reason people choose one or the other is more a reflection of vulnerabilities employed by certain types of parties.

I find them to be excessive as well, but since we have no power over wealthy people being conspicuous consumers the idea that they shouldn’t exist is unfortunately an unattainable ideal.
On the flipside, expensive toys like these often support R&D that eventually reaches more mass market production products.
People talked a lot of smack about the original Telsa Roadster (not getting into the politics of Elon here, what a mess), but the Roadster helped fund the Model S which funded the Model X, 3, and Y and ultimately forced every other vehicle manufacturer to get in the EV game.
When faced with situations out of my control I try to find the best path to beneficial outcomes.
Ever since the language puzzle in Tunic that got me to fill up 6 pocket sized pages of notes over multiple days while trying to puzzle it out as I tried to and, eventually, succeeded at translating the in-game “paper” manual, I’ve had a craving for games that force you to pull out a notebook and take notes/puzzle things...
Pillars of Eternity 2 for me. Had TONS of pages of notes of build ideas, locations, treasures, remembering to go to X at Y level, etc… Absolutely had a blast with that game.
