Better decarbonise with Chinese panels than keep burning fossil fuels.

I guess he’s finally lost it completely.

None of this is accidental or a failure of the system. The system works as designed

non-Euclidean filesystem

I noticed that I only had 5 GiB of free space left today. After quickly deleting some cached files, I tried to figure out what was causing this, but a lot was missing. Every tool gives a different amount of remaining storage space. System Monitor says I’m using 892.2 GiB/2.8 TiB (I don’t even have 2.8 TiB of storage...

Something… something… Schrödinger

But surely the Holy Market is going to solve all those problems!

I always had trouble with running dual boot, mostly because I don’t really have a clue about all this stuff. So the consequence was to ditch Windows. Never going back.

But one thing they’re good at is subverting political parties in other countries to do their bidding.

Diplomjodler ,

Just like God intended.

I’m sure he’ll be thrilled.

There’s Easyeffects. I don’t know if it is equivalent but it certainly has more features than I could ever hope to be able to use.

I switched my Mint install to Pipewire already. Just hope that won’t mess up the upgrade.

Diplomjodler ,

Ah well. I guess a reinstall every couple of years or so isn’t such a bad thing.

You can pray all you want. They will alter the deal. Enshittification never stops.

I used to be an atheist, but I’m a believer now.

US judge receptive to Trump documents claims in warning sign for prosecutors (www.reuters.com)

A federal judge overseeing the criminal case that accuses Donald Trump of mishandling classified documents has signaled an openness to the former U.S. president’s defense claims, in a sign that prosecutors might face a difficult road ahead....

The US "justice"system is just beyond a joke.

Tried Arch for the first time | My experience and impressions (lemmy.ml)

I used linux intermittently in the last 15 or so years, migrating from early Ubuntu versions, to Manjaro, Pop!_OS, Debian, etc. And decided to give Arch a try just recently; with all the memes around its high entry point, I was really expecting to struggle for a long time to set it up just as I want....

You don’t want to know.

Where would one find custom Pipewire profiles for specific speakers and would those work for an unwashed Mint peasant like me? I have external speakers for my PC but the sound has room for improvement. I tried tweaking with Easyeffects but that is not really that easy if you have no idea about sound engineering.

A biased test kept thousands of Black people from getting a kidney transplant. It's finally changing (apnews.com)

At issue is a once widely used test that overestimated how well Black people’s kidneys were functioning, making them look healthier than they really were — all because of an automated formula that calculated results for Black and non-Black patients differently. That race-based equation could delay diagnosis of organ failure...

Diplomjodler ,

How the fuck does a “race” based test get approved in an environment where scientific principles are relevant?

Diplomjodler ,

And is that huge 3D printer in the room with us now?

Diplomjodler ,

That headline could have been written any time throughout the last century. Egypt, and all other Arab nations for that matter have never given a flying fuck about the Palestinians.

It’s not like you’ll ever run out of stuff to play on Linux.

Diplomjodler ,

Does the plug get sent to you automatically or do you have to register somewhere?

Diplomjodler ,

Quite frankly, this scam was so obvious, I have zero sympathy for anyone who fell for it.

Diplomjodler ,

The answer is implied in the question.

There was a time when people tried to get US citizenship as a backup plan.

Hey, we’re not judging. You do you.

That’ll do wonders for their labour shortage.

Steam Flatpak interface randomly freezes

I am using the Steam Flatpak on OpenSuse Tumbleweed and when using the Steam interface, specifically when I get a chat message or try to respond to one, the Steam UI will hard freeze, as in a I can’t type or move windows or interact with anything and then 30 seconds or so later everything goes back to normal. Plasma is still...

Did you set the correct permissions?

Don’t want to sound like I’m proselytising but do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds?

According to David Axe ar Forbes, the 38th Regiment’s only known air-to-air kill was a US Air Force MQ-9 Reaper drone pictured below on March 14, 2023.

Great work, chaps!

Diplomjodler ,

Awww, poor widdle Teddy-Boy! Those evil leftists are so mean! How heartless of them to hold poor Teddy accountable for his despicable shitfuckery!

Diplomjodler , (edited )

Our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds, has risen to deliver us from the evil of closed source OSs. Praise be!

Diplomjodler ,

Well, I’m still in the noob stage and i intend to stay there. My OS is just a means to an end and Mint is perfect for that.

Diplomjodler , (edited )

Whenever I need to do something, I’ll figure it out. Sometimes it’s a pain, like getting VNC to work. But then I’ll write down the most important bits and duly forget the rest. I just want this stuff to work.

Diplomjodler ,

This is what they took from us!

Diplomjodler ,

Oh my gosh! Who could possibly have foreseen that?

Update for the sad post yesterday

My previous post was about one of the two kittens I saved being near death and the vet said there was nothing we can do and suggested putting him down. As I said before, we decided against that and took him home to keep him warm. He slept in bed with us tucked into a heating pad. Still as weak and frail as before....

Diplomjodler ,

Happy to hear the little guy is OK. Here’s sending more good vibes from the internet.

Diplomjodler ,

I changed the font sizes in Cinnamon, so i can totally relate.

Diplomjodler ,

I would never have considered gaming on Linux until the Steam Deck came out. When reviews said it’s actually awesome, I became convinced to try it. Basically, the deck pushed me over the edge to ditch Windows altogether. So suck on that, Satya! No wonder MS is trying so hard to stop other OEMs from making Linux handhelds.

Diplomjodler ,

If it worked for the Ewoks, it’ll work for the Ukrainians.

Headless VNC on Mint

I installed x11vnc on Mint and it works fine as long as I have a monitor plugged into the server. I want to run the server without a monitor though. That apparently doesn’t work with Cinnamon. I already bought a dummy plug to simulate a monitor but that seems clunky. Is there a better way? I’m also open to using a different...

Diplomjodler OP ,

Care to elaborate? I have looked at various VNC servers but i haven’t found usable documentation on setting them up.

Diplomjodler OP ,

I tried to install TigerVNC but I got nowhere with it. Do you know any good guide or tutorial for seeing it up?

Diplomjodler OP ,

Thanks. I’ve had some problems with TigerVNC. Do you know any good guide on setting it up?

Diplomjodler OP ,

Cool. I’ll try that tonight.

Diplomjodler ,

Ironically, the last time i needed a Windows PC was to set up my Brother laser printer. You needed to do it with some utility that was only available for Windows.

Diplomjodler ,

Yes, mine has one of those. I tried to set up the WiFi with that but that just drove me nuts.
