No clue, all i know is that i never have to do more than that, and noone has managed to get it working on windows 🤷‍♂️

When i started learning programming, everything was always a pain to set up, needed to install weird IDEs from shady websites and they only worked half the time. Then a friend showed me linux where stuff just worked out of the box, just slap some code in a textfile and compile it, i never looked back (was working in c/c++ but from what i’ve seen it’s not much better for python)

Every now and then a new hire comes along with a windows pc, every time they decide they want to try to get everything working on windows, after a week they give up.

On linux it’s one pip install and you’re done

Amen! 🙏

two sentence horror story

Achievement unlocked! You opened the game!

My system: please! It’s been 4 months! I have 73000 updates pending, please do an update!

Me: mmm, maybe later

Race conditions can make you a racist,
If you

1. Are behind the wheel of a racecar
2. You are on a racetrack

Then there’s no nice way to say it, you might be a racist, drive safe

Surely you meant -rating:safe?

400? Seconds or years?

Firefox has built-in cookie-deletion when you close the browser/tab, it’s under settings/privacy i believe

I heard a guy saying that linux was trash, he had tried it once but it didn’t have drivers for anything and what did exist was difficult to install
So I asked him when it was that he tried it

I think he said something like 1998…

“So this here is a rock”
“Uhh, in english please?”

Sheesh, it’s not that hard gen-z,
just stop buying lattes, pull yourself up by the bootstraps, and buy property in the 1980s

I’m starting to think this meme might not be 100% historically accurate 🤔

Aww,

Who do you need me to kill?

Shitting on windows is the most Linux thing you can do

Display manager I thought the d stood for Desktop, but i’m thinking of de, i see i’ve been mixing up terms, i’ve also been under the incorrect understanding that window managers and desktop environments were mutually exclusive, e.g. a desktop environment like xfce would conflict with a window manager like i3

Those scripts look cleaner than mine, perhaps i should give it another go, i’m currently on ubuntu, but many of the packets being 15 years out of date is starting to get annoying, i miss aur with its [xxx]-git packages

Quickswitch or automatic switch to a different profile, i often found myself enabling an external display and disabling the built-in one, then when packing down my laptop i forgot to manually configure the built in, meaning when i got home i had a laptop with a blank screen, Sometimes i was able to log in, open a terminal and enable the screen, other times i would have to reboot it. Something that could automatically enable the builtin if no external display is connected would’ve gone a long way for my usecase (my attempts at writing scripts for that never worked from what i recall, something got messed up when going to sleep)

Doesn’t xfce use a dm? What kind of display configuration does it give? A gui for manually configuring the layout or something more?

Based on my search when i looked into arandr earlier, and also my search now, it cannot :( looks like it’s just a graphical interface for xrand

But looks like there’s a different project, autorandr, that looks promising, it won’t automatically run when a display is connected or disconnected, but that’s easy enough to do with an udev rule or something

Until now, i care a ton!
Oh wait, “Nobody who matters”
dang, nevermind
