They’ve literally corporatized everything over there, everything is designed by committee now in hopes to hit as wide an audience as possible. They’d rather not take creative risks and create slop to get number to go up.

Ahh, a ~/.local/opt folder makes so much sense. I’m currently just using a ~/.opt folder, same purpose.

Give the shieet xeet a read to really cringe. “Secretary of War”, “lethal kinetic strike”, “Designated Terrorist Organization” and “narco-terrorists” stand out. They’re really trying to make it sound like they know what they’re doing and presenting it as anything but war crimes.

The history of insulin is exactly that. Although it’s not attributed to a single person but a few.

How about house them in a way that take away their voting rights and use them as cheap labor? Member how prisoners were used to fight the Palisades fires in January?

That’s a lot of toots to go through. I think they started with the best one though: systemctl start -v to start a unit in “verbose” mode meaning it goes straight into journalctl -f -u mode of the unit you’re starting. Neat.

How will they spin it this time? Last time with the pagers it was the most ingenious James Bond spy maneuver most of the western MSM had ever seen, while in reality it’s just terrorism.

Amazing job Bradorsomething.

Warlord…. Correction, Department of War Director Hegseth says

Feels a bit out of place for an article, even a fake one, to leave something like that in, maybe “Chief of War” as a replacement would’ve looked better?

Chief of War, DoW Director Hegseth says…

But maybe the sarcasm isn’t obvious enough hehe.

Woah, that’s wild. If you run the browser in fullscreen mode (F11) it’s almost like you’re running it on your own machine. Pretty cool service.

Remember Jarhead with Jake Gyllenhaal?
They were literally depressed because they didn’t get to shoot enough people…

It won’t affect linux itself, you can restore the bootloader and get into linux when windows does that, it’s just that it’s a pain in the arse to restore. But yes, it has happened not too long ago that windows overwrote the linux bootloader. Microsoft obviously claimed it was an accident, but they obviously don’t care.
And no, on a separate drive windows won’t touch it at all.

EDIT: Maybe it’s not so hard to restore grub loader as I thought, could be as simple as these steps.

Yes. But like @18107@aussie.zone said, Windows has a bad tendency to overwrite the bootloader, and that can happen down the road during an update of theirs.
That’s why people recommend using a separate physical drive to install linux on if dualbooting with windows, because then you choose what you want to boot up on with the UEFI boot menu instead which Windows can’t overwrite (yet?).

Thanks. That’s so sad 😢

_{Also I’ve gotten so worried of the use of em-dashes, so I’m glad you had a source.}

Oh… 😢

What does “40%” mean in this context?

Thanks for sharing your thought process going through this. Theming is important, perhaps more important than we think of regularly, it’s actually one of the main things I enjoy about linux. I believe it’s also a reason why people are leaving Windows as it has become way too corporate and soulless.

They do mention a plasmoid for KDE plasma, although according to their documentation that requires distro specific packaging. For Debian it looks like there’s a community package (right side).
EDIT:

By systems service you’re talking about systemd, right? I found this guide that sets up syncthing as a systemd service. Archwiki has a different one though.
And as the Archwiki alludes to, there’s this Syncthingtray tool that can be set up to show notifications.

Yeah, unfortunately there’s no inverse mouse cursor theme. I loved it on windows as well. What I’m using now is this “Hackneyed high contrast cursors” theme, the green one to be specific, and I absolutely love it.

I don’t actually know, but I assume mouse themes are universal? Or does KDE mouse themes now work with Cinnamon?

I read that there’s an extension for Cinnamon that does the same, although I also saw a bug report that it might be broken, idk. Worth a shot. Here’s how to enable it.

If I had a better brain I’d be writing like Arya here. Loved the little references to DC++ and Fallout: New Vegas.

Also, it’s sad it’s only now I realize what kind of guy DHH is. I’ve seen him a few times talking with Primeagen, so that was the extent of my knowledge about him up until now. And sad that Brodie Robertson is helping sanewash him, although I think Brodie is pretty oblivious when it comes to politics.
