It’s a shame because my 11yo laptop runs beautifully on X11 but terribly on Wayland with KDE. I hope the issues with Wayland optimization work out on my laptop before I’m forced to switch

That or TheStraightDope!

There are violent and nonviolent ideologues on all sides of the political spectrum. There have been violent Marxists, fascists, anarchists, liberals, vegans. Just the same, there have been nonviolent members of all of these ideologies. I wouldn’t consider some tankie or neofash teen making hexbear or /pol/ posts in their bedroom to be violent.

I would say that the fascist and the Marxist are equally threatening to my safety, all else equal.

Well if we’re going to be talking about logical fallacies, I feel like the string of arguments that you made there is a category error. Infinity isn’t exactly a number, it’s more of a philosophical concept than anything else. I would argue that trying to subtract Infinity from Infinity is illogical and kind of silly, but it wouldn’t be a reductio ad absurdum as you put it, but instead a category error.

An absurdist argument might be more like, if I have one cat I can trade it for one dog. Therefore infinite cats can be traded for infinite dogs. This is obviously absurd, because infinite cats don’t exist, unfortunately.

“Ex-setera”

Hate seeing “ect.” from otherwise very smart people. What, you have never seen it notated as “etc.” or “&c” before??

Well you’re wrong. A440 is the Nazi Reich frequency, and in response, the globohomo Jewish elites developed A432 to vibrationally enslave the goyim. It’s obvious that we must revert to Renaissance tuning and just temperament A415 to undo the cancer caused by modernity

A440 was developed by the Nazis because it is harmonically dissonant and causes disorder and chaos as it is incongruous with people’s natural frequency. A432 is the ‘natural’ tuning system.

As someone who went to college for music theory, it was hilarious hearing this

Now watch this drive

So much misinformation on the internet smh

KDE + Arch is such a great combo. I’m using it on a 10yo laptop (though admittedly it’s a rather beefy lappy for it’s gen, a 2014 ZBook g2, with 32 GB ram)

KDE can be slow on lower spec devices but it is so great to use and it was trivially easy to alter keyboard shortcuts, default application, startup behavior, etc.

Upvoted just because you referenced the Lovecraft Dream Cycle, epic l

I am very new to programming so as of now I’m not doing much more than simple shell scripts and C programs to do basic CLI things lol. I’m talking the Harvard CS50x course which has been a real treat. I’m no “programmer” yet but someday I hope I can make applications. I really enjoy C and have an interest in Java, Zig and PHP (mostly because my buddy loves PHP and doesn’t shut up about it)

What a biased question haha

OP, please download some FOSS software and tell me how friendly it is to use. As an arch (btw) user who primarily uses FOSS, they’re definitely not generally better than proprietary.

It certainly isn’t fast but Acode is seriously amazing for its functionality. It even supports keyboard commands with a command key plugin, which let’s you do things like move lines, select within parenthesis, run code, etc.

I’m a bit of a luddite though, I don’t really care much for major IDEs and i prefer to write in simple code editors like Kate and do my debugging with the compiler and gdb.

This nerd does! I’m taking a CS course and being able to access my git and make changes if I get an idea while I’m on the go is very useful.

Acode. Amazing code editor with a very intuitive design and tons of features. Best phone implementation of a code app I’ve ever seen.

When a lamp turns off it doesn’t become a black hole. Previous commenter was correct, though I appreciate your info about OLED

Today I used Alt+Space to open krunner, typed the name of a C script I’m working on, and it pulled up search results for the file, as well as relevant websites I visited related to that title, and in that moment I realized how much I missed out growing up with Explorer.

I could imagine Trump deciding that a random bird needed to be named after himself, and inaturalist having a forum discussion about localization etc. It’s probably the same kind of debate here

At least they had company for ten years
