cybersandwich, to linux in COSMIC Edit with project-wide search

And it has vim motions!?

cybersandwich, to linux in What are you most excited when it comes to linux in 2024?

I just ROCm was built in to mesa. Because either you use the proprietary drivers that have some issues, or use mesa and fight with everything (amf, ROCm) to try and get it working.

cybersandwich, to linux in Alright, I'm gonna "take one for the team" -- what is with the "downvote-happy" users lately?

It’s the Internet. People who participate in good faith discussions probably aren’t downvoting willy nilly. Everyone else isn’t going to be swayed or give meaningful feedback anyway.

Downvoted get abused a lot where they exist. People dog pile pretty quickly. It seems like an image human characteristic. It’s just a fickle mob. The smaller the community, where members know each other by handle, are usually the best for actual discussions.

Wasn’t the rule for one of the more popular Usenet groups: rule 1. Don’t be annoying 2. Don’t be easily annoyed

Tbh, that’s a pretty great foundation for any interactions on the web.

cybersandwich, to memes in Can't outsmart your teacher

My mom is a professor and the shit she tells me about her students is insane. I overheard a call she was having with a student and basically the student was offended that simply scheduling a call wasnt enough to unfail her paper. Basically "I called you to talk about it so I didn’t fail, right?

Or the fact that they expect to be able to just turn in things whenever they want irrespective of a deadline…and then get offended when told their paper either won’t be accepted at all or docked for each day late it was.

cybersandwich, to linux in Linus Torvalds on the state of Linux today and how AI figures in its future

I’ve heard the argument that we don’t really have a good definition of thinking or intelligence and if it can complete a task or do things…what does it matter if it’s “thinking” or not if the outcome is the same.

cybersandwich, (edited ) to linux in Laptop with long runtime

Wired has a good review on it:

Where the Lemur Pro really shines is battery life. System76 claims 14 hours, and I managed 11 hours in our battery drain test (looping a 1080p video). In real-world use, I frequently eked out over 13 hours. That’s off the charts better than any other Linux laptop I’ve tested recently.

If you aren’t interested in MacBooks, this imo is one of the best alternatives–especially if battery life is a high priority.

cybersandwich, to linux in What's with all these hip filesystems and how are they different?

I have an old drive with it in there. The drive is going bad so I haven’t messed with it too much. I never knew at the time why the development and shine faded so quickly.

cybersandwich, to linux in I use linux for the same reason I wear fuzzy socks and sweaters

I ended up briefing some very senior leadership…in a hoody.

I brief that specific group on a regular basis and it’s usually fairly laid back but this particular meeting a new, very high profile person was attending to get up to speed. Apparently everyone knew but me because they were suited up and all of the ladies were wearing makeup and had their hair all nice. And there I was, the lead brief, in my hoody and jeans and scruffy beard.

After the meeting I realized that it probably worked in my favor. Some sort of psychological “this guy must be really good because he dgaf about dressing to impress”.

Plus I think their is exactly as you said a stereotype that the better you are at your IT stuff the less put together you have to be.

cybersandwich, to lemmybewholesome in Like a time capsule

My dad passed away two years ago and I wish I had followed through with doing video interviews of him. Asking him questions about life, having him tell the same stories he’d already told 100x. I wish I had those.

I am already starting to do that for my daughter who is only 9 months old.

cybersandwich, to programmer_humor in I'll just be a quick 3h

How many widgets have we transferred to acme this year?

Simple enough question right?

But then when you look at the data, each region works with acme’s local offices differently. Some transfer using one method, some offices mark the transfer in the system as “other firm”. Oh, and we don’t even get a data feed from the north west region because they still haven’t upgraded their shit so I can request a spreadsheet but it’s in a different format than everything else.

Then inevitably Acme has a different number of widgets that have been transfered. Because if a transfer gets kicked back or cancelled, it’s easier to just create a new transfer rather than go fix an old one because that process is laborious and requires tons of approvals so they just create a new transfer and send it over.

But yea, 20 minutes should be enough time to get you that before your meeting with Acme.

That’s exactly how you should respond. I’ve been on the requester for some of these and if my team gave me that as a response I’d just say “let me know what you find out or when you know more.”

cybersandwich, to linuxmemes in Wayland vs X11 be like

Kinda just seems like arguing because you have nothing better to do.

You don’t seem confused at all. You summed it up nicely.

cybersandwich, (edited ) to linux in ripgrep 14 released with hyperlink support

Seriously. I’d be interested in the benchmarks

Edit. I should have looked closer. They have the benchmarks on the GitHub.

cybersandwich, to linuxmemes in So sad when it happens

Sometimes that’s reasonable. If the stuff you need doesn’t work, fighting it or pushing that boulder up hill is not worth it.

You may not realize certain things are deal breakers until they are stating you in the face.
