Almost universally, any time there’s a power vacuum (whether in the first larger-than-tribes societies, or in societies where state power has become weak), the first authority figures that fill the power vacuum are dicks

wielding real power, in ways that feel quite uncomfortable.

Yes, it’s called feeling guilty about others calling out your attitude. Most people who aren’t power seeking assholes experience that feeling regularly and have learned to deal with it.

Couples therapists say they can tell within a few minutes if a couple is worth working with or not: if it’s anger they’re displaying, then that’s something that can be worked through. If it’s dismissiveness, all hope is lost.

Imagine getting told by a couples therapist that they can’t see your relationship working out… And then you go on a big rant saying how you should still be together?

Flatpak creates a “fake” home directory as part of its sandboxing. So what firefox sees as /home/mario is actually /home/mario/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/. At least on Mint, might be different in debian?

Are you sure you have the right folder? Does ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/.mozilla exist?

cache suggests you’ve only moved your cached data, not your profile.

Mint for my desktop system. It just does exactly what I want it to, has good compatibility with software and Cinnamon is my DE of choice.

NixOS for my server, because being able to use one config repo and format for everything is so nice.

Unless it has changed recently, Docker is not intended to be a security layer as far as I know.

As I understand it, the problem that both Nix and Docker try to solve is “How do I bundle and run this application in such a way that its dependencies are explicitly specified and don’t interfere with anything installed on the host system”.

They have different approaches, but I think that goal is the same?

Honestly, since getting into NixOS, I’ve found that much more of an elegant system than Docker or whatever.

I just want another 3D game where you actually play as Tails. Like, no mech. Just like Sonic levels but you can fly.

I’m not entirely sure why this is news. Do people think he gets put into a test tube or something when when he’s not needed?

He’s a professional game developer, he’s probably working on games constantly.

I mean, lemmy.world is a big enough instance that it has attracted people with all sorts of views. You probably aren’t going to find it better on any other instance.

Probably just block communities which don’t moderate people enough to keep on topic.

Or if this is a dog whistle for rightwing centristism… Uh… Stop it?

Looking at this guys other posts it could just be some bizarre attempt at absurdism?

For anyone who hasn’t seen it before, Tauri is basically Electron, but it doesn’t ship a full chromium browser with each application.

Basically, I hope it replaces all Electron apps. :P

People playing Rust code while they sleep so they can learn it through osmosis.

I agree there’s a lot of problems with unpaid internships and work and such, but I don’t think this is that bad?

It feels like “hey, if you really like our product and want to show it off, we can send you information and merch, and put you in touch with higher ups.”

I’d complain if Microsoft or Google started doing this, because they are huge megacorps with deep pockets, but Framework seems like a small company that can’t really afford huge marketing departments. If people want to devote their time to a cause they beleive in, more power to them.

They also aren’t doing it with the promise or threat of something, which is an issue with a lot of unpaid work. The people they’re targeting know exactly what they are getting into, and that they are doing it for their own reasons.

Okay, this nerd sniped me super hard. Sure you can spend it on a big massive project like a mansion or whatever, but you aren’t going to be able to have it finished (and thus paid for) in a month.

Not too mention if you do want to drop that much money at one, there’ll be many checks in place. Your bank will block your account for “suspicious activity”. The person who you are paying will probably want to run a background check or just refuse to take payment up front.

You’d have to justify where you got that money from as well, most likely, and saying a “genie” probably would get you some strange looks and perhaps arrested.

I legit don’t know how you’d actually get rid of that much money in a month.

Debian sid is their unstable branch; it contains all new packages before they are tested. As such, if you try to install updates from it, you’ll likely get a very unstable system.

You can set it up so that you only get a specific package ( https://wiki.debian.org/DebianUnstable#Can_I_use_Sid_packages_on_.22testing.22.3F ), but honestly, if you need the very latest version, I’d recommend just grabbing it from github or wherever. Iirc, yt-dlp has a -U flag which will automatically update it.

I think the following has a good chance of working:

• YouTube does another fucky thing and messes with people’s revenue. Again.
• Some big YouTuber decides to host their own peertube instance (funded by patreon) for their content. Either on its own or as a “backup”.
• People go there, and other YouTubers follow seeing that it doesn’t have YouTube fuckery. Either to the same instance or another.
• YouTube continues to make unpopular decisions, meaning more and more people go to Peertube and it becomes engrained in public knowledge.

Basically, “YouTube fucks up a bunch enough for people to try to move”.

The US doesn’t have the ability and/or willingness to force Russia to comply with any of their demands. Therefore any deal has to be in agreement with the Russian state, which means their war demands. That means either the US pulls military support and Ukraine are unable to fight back, or the talks go nowhere and nothing really changes. There is no motivation for Russia to accept the current front lines.

… Although, like I said, my knowledge of this conflict is a little spotty - someone in the audience let me know if my read of the situation is correct.

I’ve not been following the Ukrainian war recently, but wouldn’t the US surrendering Ukraine result in the erasure and eradication of Ukrainian culture. Which would likely result in more deaths than the war itself?

I’m not sure, but I think it makes it very unlikely he’ll become president.
