That’s about the time I unsubbed. I do like the choice of things he tends to talk about but his mannerisms are quite annoying over time.

And even those are pretty repetitive at this point

Yeeeeah that’s probably where my money issues are coming from :x smoking weed every day isn’t a cheap form of escapism

May I suggest having a Christmas with your friends, whatever way you like it?

This year I spent Christmas with one friend, and we just did whatever made us happy. We watched a few movies, and smoked some weed. She decorated the tree, I cooked my favorite meal. No gifts or anything, no yelling, just a good time. Probably the best Christmas I had in years.

Spend your time with the people you love and cherish. Christmas doesn’t necessarily need to be about family or gifts.

The original comment did read like it was an actual thing happening in England, though

I had several drives in my PC, so I wiped a small one and just installed a few different distros and figured out what I liked. I ended up sticking with nobara with KDE.

What’s the issue with the space?

meekah, (edited )
@meekah@lemmy.world avatar

but what does the command line matter for dates? sure every once in a while you’ll have to pass a date as an argument on the command line but I think usually that kind of data is handled by APIs without human intervention, so once these are set up properly, I don’t see the problem

Hm, I guess I just don’t agree that CLI usablity comes before readability.

honestly, if a space breaks your program, it’s kind of a shit program.

Sounds like a weekend that you could have saved if the software was just implemented properly and accepted spaces.

Something being an industry standard does not necessarily mean it’s good. Sometimes it just means it was the cheapest, or sometimes even just because it was used for so long. How long did it take for Torx to somewhat replace philips head screws despite being better in most cases?

I think date strings are made for human and machine readability. Similar to XML or JSON. So, why not improve systems so that we can have more human readable date strings? If you don’t care about human readability and want to make sure there is no confusion with spaces, you can just use epoch timestamps.

Why not? I’ve been using nobara KDE (fedora based) for the past weeks now (just a few weeks of pop os before) and I’m perfectly happy.

I see, that makes sense. thanks!

I imagine that to be pretty difficult with laptop keyboards like a scissor switch. But after googling a bit there seem to be a few tutorials so maybe it’s easier than I think.

Makes sense

Nope, tried around with different browsers at home and at work precisely because of the issue I mentioned.

As far as I’m aware the only options to install GSR as a package are AUR/yay (not available on fedora as far as I understand) or flatpak (unable to resolve permission issue), so I do think a manual install is the best option. This is a gaming system so GSR breaking is no huge deal.

Thanks for the tips regarding manual installation! I did not know about -devel packages or about the dnf provides command. They will probably prove to be very useful!

I didn’t consider that an option because whenever I searched for setcap and flatpak, most threads were pretty dismissive and told OP that flatpak is made with security in mind so doing that isn’t supported.

Regardless, I tried it just now, but the password prompt (image below) still shows up when launching the autostart .desktop file I created. The .desktop file launches a script I wrote, which in turn actually starts GSR through flatpak, in case that changes anything.

password prompt

Do I assume correctly that this prompt might be gone if I set the capabilities of /usr/bin/flatpak? It’s not something I want to do, so I’ll probably keep trying to get the manually built version installed.

those are nice tips, thank you!

KDE has your back. You .mostly use regular windows but with meta+T you can configure tiles that can be used to snap windows to them using shift when dragging a window

I’ve only started out with Linux a few weeks ago and I liked gnome for the few weeks I’ve used it, but I’m liking KDE much more than gnome so far.
