caseyweederman,

I’m a fan of the old IBM ThinkPads. Not sure about the recent ones.
I’ve had huge problems with one of Lenovo’s Legion laptops. Awful support too, they did everything they could to not have to fix it. It took a licensed third party to finally take us seriously and fix the dang thing.

So I wouldn’t recommend Lenovo unless the only alternative was Dell.

I can’t not parse the one on the right as a Muppet rat

Only when KC Green isn’t wearing gloves, otherwise it’s just sparkling Lorax

Canonical has a long history of thinking it knows better than you, but funneling everyone into their closed-source walled-garden our-way-or-the-highway gonna-charge-money-the-moment-we-figure-out-the-legality Snap Store sure if the most Microsofty.

caseyweederman,

Skreli was absolutely 100% capitalizing on others’ misfortune and the fact that he didn’t get in trouble for that is incredibly bad.

caseyweederman,

Intel and AMD drivers are part of the Linux kernel so you never need to think about drivers.
Check out https://www.protondb.com/ for something of a list of supported games, but generally most games just work (in Steam, go to Settings, Compatibility, and check the box for applying Proton on all games in library and not just the officially supported ones).
ProtonDB isn’t a complete list, but if you do struggle with getting a game to work, chances are somebody has posted a string you can paste into Steam to make the game magically work.

caseyweederman,

Nearly all Ubuntu instructions also apply to Debian.
Flatpak is no longer default on Ubuntu since they see it as competition.
As of Debian Bookworm, nonfree firmware is available on the installation media and no further steps are involved.

Ubuntu used to be the most friendly beginner experience. I’m not sure if it has any advantage over Debian today.

caseyweederman,

Debian starting with Bookworm has all the advantages of Ubuntu with none of the drawbacks of being a Canonical product.

And Sync

I’m really impressed that, given the chance to cash in on weird internet meme fame, he turned around and put out a bunch of genuinely good music.

caseyweederman,

I think it looks more like a puma.

caseyweederman,

I mean he does take every opportunity to let you know that he’s French.

caseyweederman,

I don’t have a lot of experience with merging but then again, this is a great opportunity to learn.

Chicken Tools

caseyweederman,

I read it as them glaring at the farmer for causing this tragedy, suggesting that they don’t know that the eggs were just going to be eaten otherwise.

Is there such a thing as split-screen grep?

I want to run a command and see all of its output on the left hand side, while simultaneously searching/grepping for particular lines on the right hand side. In other words, I want a temporary vertically split screen in my CLI, ideally with scrollback on each side of the split, but where I expect the left hand side to be...

caseyweederman,

More info: / only searches from cursor to end of file. ? searches from cursor to start of file.

caseyweederman,

Final Fantasy Legend II on the Game Boy was my introduction to this theme.
The pantheon was Greek, I think, or maybe that was just in the North American localization. But the tree was obviously influenced by Yggsrasil.
The worlds were all spread out across the branches of the world tree, and you’d physically climb up and across branches to progress to other worlds.
A very satisfying marriage of setting and gameplay.

caseyweederman,

You misspelled Sid

caseyweederman,

That is some powerful stuff.

caseyweederman,

Lube and hand sanitizer here.

caseyweederman,

All of the technically-minded posts I’ve read about systemd have been positive. The only detractors seem to be the ones with less technical knowledge, complaining about “the Unix philosophy” and parroting half-understood ideas, or worse, claiming that it’s bad because they have to learn it.

I know xorg has problems, but it was good to get some insight into why Wayland is falling short. Every argument I’ve seen in favor of Wayland has been “xorg bad”.

caseyweederman,

I get it.
But as far as I can tell, there are just two xorgs now, one of them is just spelled “Wayland”.

caseyweederman,

Aw yeah. Somebody’s getting a bigger wallet.
