And here are instructions from a third party explaining how to tell apt how to install them so they can be kept up to date (be sure you read the warning on the debian.org page about why they don’t tell you to do that before you do it):
Depending on how exactly your file manager works, installing the codec may or may not be sufficient to display thumbnails. If not, there are probably instructions specific to your file manager for installing the appropriate plugin.
ffprobe is included in the ffmpeg package. For future reference you can find what package contains a file by doing dpkg-query -S /bin/ffprobe (note that the path you give it is relative to /usr)
Ah, the “straight relationships are illegal” fandoms…
“Quick! The showrunners just introduced an opposite sex couple immediately after three same sex ones! We have to make one character bi and the other pan!”
“Oh my gosh! The mean-girl character just started sucking up to a kid she used to be friends with who has since become her social superior in the most transparent power grab of all time! It must mean she had a lesbian crush the entire time!”
slack is paid, irc is a bodge on top of a bodge on top of a bodge, xmpp is rather similar, and matrix… would be nice if any of the clients except element supported any of the features, and also if message synchronization worked more than halfway
Is there a single Lemmy client this doesn’t break? Jerboa lists your account creation date as “4 centuries ago”. Guess it can’t handle negative time deltas
Holy crap, dude, take a hint. Nobody wants to look at your racist strawman bullshit. This is the third time you’ve posted this and the third time you’ve gotten cussed out.
it always bothers me when people compare sudo to a game of Simon Says. It’s not waiting for you to say the magic word, it’s asking if you’re sure you want to do something that could potentially damage your system. It’s no more Simon Says than a Windows UAC prompt.
Ordinarily I wouldn’t make a big deal out of this, but teaching novice Linux users that their new OS just likes to play Simon Says with them and that if any command fails the solution is to change nothing and run it again with more privileges strikes me as a remarkably bad idea, and like a really easy way to trick newbies into running malware since “Linux doesn’t get viruses”
Wile I agree that it’s not Wayland’s fault, I also think that people acting like X11 was obsolete yesterday and everyone should immediately stop using it simply because Wayland exists, while that is still true, are not helping the situation any
The enshittification of Google results does NOT just apply to Google. Even if we don’t count the “engines” that use Google as a backend, like Startpage and Metager, every search engine nowadays has been indexing fewer and fewer useful pieces of content. Time was, if you wanted to find a comment on Reddit or Tumblr or what have you and you knew some part of it word for word, you could put that portion betweeen quotes and you’d find it immediately. Now you’ll just get nothing. DuckDuckGo, Brave Search, Qwant, Bing, none of em’ll do it. Not even pushshift works properly anymore.
Do not get me started on the trash fire that is Searx. Hosting your own search engine sounds cool until you realize it means running your own indexer and only getting results from sites your individual instance has crawled.
Also, did you hear that Gigablast, the only open-source search engine apart from Searx, shut its doors for good earlier this year?
