TheEntity,

I wish. They are not even close.

TheEntity,

I'm an Emacs graybeard, so complex keybindings don't scare me. My problem with ncmpcpp is twofold:

  1. It relies on MPD which is always a PITA to properly configure. Pulseaudio always managed to make it not work on a fresh system. Hopefully with Pipewire it'll be better.
  2. The config format make no sense whatsoever. Especially the one with keybindings. It's so cryptic I just stopped trying to understand it. Again, I'm an Emacs graybeard, to stress it as a point of reference.
TheEntity,

I'm aware but thank you. I've tried it before and didn't like it. Maybe I'll give it another shot, though I don't see much benefit in tying my music player to Emacs.

TheEntity,

MPD + ncmpcpp, I hate both and I'm yet to find anything better.

Gentoo goes Binary (packages) (www.gentoo.org)

To speed up working with slow hardware and for overall convenience, we’re now also offering binary packages for download and direct installation! For most architectures, this is limited to the core system and weekly updates - not so for amd64 and arm64 however. There we’ve got a stunning >20 GByte of packages on our mirrors,...

TheEntity,

If someone claims to do it for "all the optimizations", you can immediately assume they are full of shit. If anything, the true gain is the control over the features to compile or not compile into your packages.

TheEntity,

I can see it working if one wants to customize the compilation flags of a few packages they have strong opinions on, but otherwise don't care about the rest of the system. Sort of like the binary cache in NixOS, where by default you use the binary cache, but you can customize parts of your system triggering a source-based installation for that parts.

TheEntity,

Even back in the day when I still used Windows (and GUI almost exclusively) I browsed my filesystems like I'd use a terminal with tab-completion. I'd press the first few letters of the file/directory I was looking for and press enter, rinse and repeat. I knew my file organization by heart anyway. It's only natural for me to drop the GUIs for such use cases.

Iran, child bride and year-long victim of domestic violence Samira Sabzian who killed her 'husband' has been been executed in Ghezelhesar Prison (www.iranhr.net)

Samira was a child bride married at 15 and a victim of domestic violence. She had two young children, one a new-born baby, when she was arrested and had not seen her children in ten years. She saw them for the first and last time when they came to the prison to say goodbye....

TheEntity,

So ex-muslims? Nothing against them as far as I'm concerned.

TheEntity,

If she still considered herself a Muslim, then what happened to her was perfectly in line with her claimed worldview. She can only ever see herself as a victim by rejecting her religion. She probably wasn't conscious of it but at this point I'd say she was already an ex-muslim, it's a matter of a therapist making her aware of it (assuming she'd be rescued in time!).

TheEntity,

That would be ideal, agreed. I'm not singling out Islam here.

TheEntity,

Yes, linking the religious leadership of the inherently strongly hierarchical belief systems with these belief systems sounds very reasonable to me.
I have an impression we agree on the reasoning, just not on the details and the conclusions from these details. At this point we're arguing the semantics of whether the religious people rejecting their religious leadership still belong to the same religion or rather they invented their own religion distinct from the original one. In other words, whether the leadership is an inherent part of their religion.
Do I have that right that apart from the above we're pretty much on the same page?

TheEntity,

Honestly I can't say that I miss installing rootkits with terrifying privileges just to play games. I'd rather limit the privileges games have with Flatpak etc., not give them even more.

TheEntity,

I'm so confused why it's marked as NSFW.

TheEntity,

I'm worried about what she'll evolve into further down the relationship.

TheEntity,

Now that I think about it, any of the kids could do much more with their power. Fine, "heart" can control animals. But then we have earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis and whatever flamey shit fire can do. Basically if we drop the limitations of the user not willing to go all out, they all get buffed and "heart" still sounds underpowered. Unless it can control human minds too, now we're talking!

TheEntity,

From their FAQ:

Q: What shells does Wave Terminal support?
A: We currently only support bash. […]

Seems at least dishonest to advertise it as a "terminal" if it works only with a specific shell. It's okay to have extra features enabled by escape codes emitted by the shell, but if it goes beyond that, I'd say it's not just a terminal anymore.

TheEntity,

This thread is so delightfully wholesome, I want all my social media interactions to be like this. :)

TheEntity,

It searches for a process named vim using grep (which searches within provided lines), but since grep vim also contains vim, we then exclude grep too, so only the actual vim process gets found without the grep vim process. Sounds a lot like this post, doesn't it?

TheEntity,

ps aux | grep vim | grep -v grep

TheEntity,

My brother in christ, this is a rule 34 of this.

TheEntity,

"Normies"?

TheEntity,

Joke's on you, I'm so bad at math it might take 4 years just as well.

TheEntity,

Now that you mention it, it's commonly used for the contemporary idiocy too.

TheEntity,

What exactly am I looking for?
