nix@midwest.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•KDE's Nate Graham On X11 Being A Bad Platform & The Wayland FutureEnglish2·2 years agoBeen trying to think of a term for this issue. It’s not quite chicken or egg. But both sides need the other side to incentivize them. If one gets going the other will follow, but they’re waiting for each other. Like some sort of collaborative standoff.
nix@midwest.socialto Gaming@lemmy.ml•With the year coming to an end, what was your favorite video game you played this year?English2·2 years agoLoved Control but never played Alan Wake. Just bought the first one recently so hoping to play through it then check out 2.
They don’t. I’ve been on the same Debian install on laptop and desktop for years. It’ll make some odd decisions with packages sometimes, but it hasn’t bricked.
I don’t have hard data, but you don’t see these kinds of posts about Debian, Mint, Ubuntu or Fedora.
nix@midwest.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some happy endings that really wasn't all that happy?English2·2 years agoMax is a pseudo-mythological figure. It’s never clear in the movies how much time has passed. Word of writers says that he’s multiple people retold as one person in retrospective story, but the movies don’t show that so you can take or leave it. The game has him as an immortal doomed soul.
Whatever is the case, I think it’s pretty clear we’re not supposed to take the story we’re told about Max via the movies as told completely faithfully.
nix@midwest.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some happy endings that really wasn't all that happy?English3·2 years agoI always interpreted Snowpiercer (the movie) as being somewhat ambiguous about whether there were other people. We only have the word of people we already know are authoritarians that lie to keep order.
nix@midwest.socialto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•How much does it cost to run a site that deals with pirated content?English21·2 years agoOne thing to consider is that it’s not just hosting a site, it’s all the work they do to do the DRM removal and the repack. That takes time, which might be time they could be using to earn money. So getting some money from their work can help incentivize it.
Hard to say what that actually boils down to for each person, if they’re not releasing any expenses info (site costs, time spent per project, etc). If you’re thinking about donating, I’d think of it more as a “thank you” gift for their work than anything else, and give an amount you wouldn’t miss.
nix@midwest.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Middle-aged and some what tongue tied (medical condition) anyone else in this situation, and go through with the procedure?English1·2 years agoAh I see. Those do seem like issues it could improve. Hope whatever you decide works out well for you.
nix@midwest.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Middle-aged and some what tongue tied (medical condition) anyone else in this situation, and go through with the procedure?English8·2 years agoI agree with the thoughts on second opinions. It sounds like you cope fine with your current situation already, and to be honest I’m skeptical much would change. At your age, the way you speak would be a very ingrained muscle memory thing. Maybe you could change it with some concerted effort but I suspect even with the surgery you’d still tend to speak the way you currently do.
Not at all. I use a tiling WM, and most of my time is spent in text editors or a browser. I just like having everything visible and spaced out automatically for me.
I think tiling WMs just have a lot of overlap with the terminal-heavy crowd. They tend to require some manual set up, and they tend to be very keyboard shortcut heavy. Both things also popular with people that tend to like using terminals.
Also keep in mind most screenshots advertising someone’s set up are to show off, not their regular workflow. It’s like looking at someone’s professional head-shots and wondering if they usually dress like that.
nix@midwest.socialOPto Bicycles@lemmy.ca•Cycling Fallacies - Counters to Common Anti-Cycling ArgumentsEnglish1·2 years agoNot sure if any exist. Recharging by pedal would require adding resistance to the pedaling. The added resistance is fine in a car because they’re so heavy and fast that it’s barely noticeable downhill. But it’d be very noticeable to someone on a bike.
nix@midwest.socialOPto Bicycles@lemmy.ca•Cycling Fallacies - Counters to Common Anti-Cycling ArgumentsEnglish4·2 years agoYea, I think there’s some truth in that argument when it comes to temperature - I know I can adjust to pretty hot or cold weather after a while. But yea, no matter how much I love biking I am less likely to do it in the rain or snow, where it’s not only more uncomfortable but also more dangerous.
nix@midwest.socialOPto Bicycles@lemmy.ca•Cycling Fallacies - Counters to Common Anti-Cycling ArgumentsEnglish3·2 years agoAh yea, could use some updating for sure. Good catch
nix@midwest.socialOPto Bicycles@lemmy.ca•Cycling Fallacies - Counters to Common Anti-Cycling ArgumentsEnglish4·2 years agoWhich ones? I haven’t looked at all of them but a lot of them have a “Further Reading” section below, which is the citations.
nix@midwest.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a video game that you'd love to play, but no one has developed yet?English4·2 years agoI dig this one, it’s pretty cool.
nix@midwest.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What single item improved the quality of your life over you got it? (Buyed it/got as present/made it)English7·2 years agoI have the same issue with light, had prescription glasses and prescription sunglasses, and had to switch between the two frequently. Finally got prescription transitions and they’re incredible, I no longer have to think about my glasses at all. Just put them on and go.
nix@midwest.socialto Funny@sh.itjust.works•Taylor Swift Fan Hides Identity Because She Called in Sick to WorkEnglish1·2 years agoIt can’t be ruled out from that picture.
nix@midwest.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack?English2·2 years agoThis advice definitely fits OP’s specifications, but definitely worth stressing that if you only eat fruits and meats for a while you’re gonna have a BAD time when you do finally poop.
nix@midwest.socialto Movies and TV Shows@lemmy.film•Who are your favourite directors?English1·2 years agoFirst two directors I used to be into but no longer:
I loved Tarantino’s work but I feel that I’ve “outgrown” it. I’m just not that interested in ultraviolence anymore.
Similarly, big fan of Wes Anderson, especially Moonrise Kingdom, but the incredible whiteness (both in cast and settings) of the majority of his movies has me longing for something more diverse (again, in both literal casting and in thematic backgrounds).
And now, who I’m still excited for:
DANIELS - I really enjoyed Swiss Army Man, tho it was flawed. I was hyped for Everything Everywhere and it delivered and then some. Can’t wait to see what they do next if that was just their second one.
Makoto Shinkai - All of his work is so achingly beautiful. Love it.
Jordan Peele - Loved Get Out of course. Us was interesting but didn’t stick as much. Even NOPE was flawed but still very unique and intriguing. I want to see what else he has.
Ari Aster - Hereditary was good, and Midsommar was amazing. I heard very little at all about Beau is Afraid (which is almost worse than hearing bad things), and I haven’t seen it yet. Still intrigued to see what’s next.
Also, no, this is not an ideal way to do this. Ideally every package you want is in your distro’s repos so you’d just need to do “apt install [package]”.
The reason this one isn’t is because mullvad wants to make sure you use their tested, secure, and updated version and they don’t want to maintain that for every distro. So they have you configure your package manager to use their repos.
This is relatively uncommon to come across in Debian. You’ll normally only find it in security applications or very niche ones. The Debian repos aren’t the most comprehensive but they’ll contain the vast majority of common softwares.
