  • “You are right. We are tiny sacks of flesh and bones on a tiny rock floating through the infinitely bigger space we call universe. The impacts of our actions only matter to the few close to us. The absolute overwhelming majority of creatures on this planet doesn’t know us, doesn’t care about us, won’t notice any effect when we vanish. Our lives, our selfes, our material possessions will be forgotten in a time frame that is in itself nothing compared to the age of the universe and what is going to come. You should give me a raise.”




  • Leider nein.

    Relevantes Zitat:

    "Positionen gegen die offene Gesellschaft und die liberale Demokratie sind unter AfD-Wählenden jedenfalls sehr weit verbreitet und vor allem stabil. Insofern halte ich den Begriff Protestwähler für komplett verharmlosend. Damit versucht sich die institutionalisierte Politik seit jeher zu beruhigen.

    Die Vorstellung, die verloren gegangenen Wähler kämen zurück, wenn man kurz mal die Begriffe der Rechten übernimmt, ist irrig. Jene Mentalitäten, die die Menschen dazu bringen, AfD zu wählen, existierten schon lange vor ihrer Gründung, waren aber parteipolitisch ungebunden. Nun haben sie eine feste Anschlussstelle."








  • Can’t find the package “bullet”, I guess i’ll need to google it. Oh, there are dependencies i need to install first. Can’t find them via apt though. After three hours of googling I find a forum post from 2008 that describes how to compile the dependency yourself. My question in a Linux forum is already locked because there was a similar question in 1997 in which neither of the commands nor software packages or links even exist anymore. I try compiling myself, but it seems i need another piece of software for that. That thing was abandoned in 2012, replaced by another one, then another one in 2018. It doesn’t compile though, no matter what i do. I read somewhere that the whole distribution i use is not up-to-date enough and i need to install a nightly bleeding edge upgrade that contains the needed dependencies. I do. After reboot, my audio doesn’t work anymore, the resolution is 500x133, there is smoke coming from my mouse and coffee pouring out of the buttons of my screen. I decide to use a completely different distribution, because the one i chose was for noob losers anyways. Three hours later, after three failed attempts of installing because seemingly i exhaled in the general direction of the USB-stick while it was written, I manage to install the right boot manager so that my windows partition isn’t lost in the abyss, install the correct drivers for everything, set the keyboard to german three dozen times so i don’t become psychotic when i try to use the terminal, save the princess from the evil lord and provide the village with enough resources that they survive the next winter, i finally open up the terminal to install “bullet”.

    There are dependencies I need to install first.

    I really hope it’s different now, but about a decade ago I tried to use Linux for multiple years and I really tried to like it, but it has always been a pain in the ass as soon as you try to set up something that is a little more fringe/advanced like software for music production.
