There are gonna be lots of applicants from the Intelligence Institute of Texas…

“I had the best water quality results in history, i really did… They were tremendous!”

Just get rid of the regulations. Now 0% of the water has failed testing! 100% safe!

Probably not what you want to hear, but I think exiftool + bash script really is the way to go. A few years ago I had a similar need and searched for hours online… I ended up hacking together a “good enough” bash script that reads all the dates of my pictures and does some stuff. It took 30 mins of reading some basic bash scripting basics. Way less time than searching for a tool that probably doesnt exist.

In 2024, you can probably just ask chatgpt to write a quick and dirty bash script for you and it might require another 10mins of debugging/begging chatgpt to fix its mistakes

Europe is not designed for oversized cars.

Too many drivers are selfish morons and will manage to cram their oversized vehicles into any space without consideration for the safety of anyone outside their own bubble. Doesnt matter if the city was “designed” for it or not.

I was just in Bellagio Italy last week. For some reason, cars are allowed to drive through the medieval city center through extremely narrow roads packed with pedestrians… Which is OK if you’re driving a fiat 500… But this oversized jeep cherokee drive right through town, with barely any space for pedestrians to move aside. I’m not sure if it was a lost tourist or a local resident, but drivers should not be trusted to pilot such a vehicle through crowds with so little margin for error.

Newer versions of apt now have coloured text showing what will be installed (green) and what will be REMOVED (red)

Handy feature for someone like me who also makes mistakes

This isnt freeware.

“Free” in free software is free like free speech, not free as in beer.

This is one of the places where english fails. Libre vs gratis

This is not an OS behaviour. KDE is a desktop environment.

If it bothers you so much, remove the DE and use the command line, full time

I had Youtube premium when it included google play music. GPM was so good…

I unsubscribed everything when they changed to youtube music. Terrible music platform

I have to use windoze for my work laptop…

15% cpu constantly being used by bullshit telemetry processes. Gigs of RAM also being eaten up by bullshit processes and “try copilot!!” popups every time i accidently make the wrong gesture on the touchpad.

My 9 year old laptop with only 8GB RAM running debian is blazing fast in comparison.

Wait what? Republicans said they fuck couches? I’m out of the loop here.

Most likely x11 vs wayland

Sorry, i dont have all the links available, but the root cause of the problem is apparently with the amdgpu driver

Kscreen was supposed to implement some kind of workaround, but i lost track of how that was going.

I’ve had this problem for years. I contributed to one of the existing bug reports for kscreen on this.

If i dont login to kde (sddm login screen), the screens will shut off normally… But once i login, the problem starts. So i concluded the problem is with kscreen2. I even tested by killijg kscreen2 and the problem goes away

And rob your coworkers of the joy of seeing the cat point his butthole directly at the camera???

Cats showing up in the middle of meetings is the best part of meetings

I know lemmy has a gigantic hate boner for LLMs, but if you plugged this scenario into a good one (probably not the bog standard “free” chatgpt in bing) you’ll probably get a very entertaining conversation.

For me, no…

I’ve gone from debian 9 to debian 11 and now debian sid without reinstalling OS on my desktop

Same with my servers. Debian 8 -> 11 all upgrades in-place. Will have to upgrade to 12 soon…

The only time i messed up an upgrade is when accidentally used the codename “bookworm” in the sources file and skipped a major version. The system tried to fully upgrade 2 versions ahead and promptly borked itself… But it was an LXC container so i just rolled back my mistake. Lesson learned…

But yeah. Full re-installs have NEVER been a thing for me since going debian. It will even happily clone to a new SSD when you need to upgrade your hardware. (As long as your new hardware has in-kernel drivers, or at least some basic functionality to boot and fix the problem, if any)

Once people become familar with the basics of linux, they realize that almost anything that these niche distros offer can be accomplished in debian

You’ll always end up on debian. You just dont know it yet

I keep hearing how addictive nicotine is (7x more than heroin??), but in my experience, i never got addicted. Is there something wrong with my brain?

I never smoked two packs a day, but i spent at least 3 years smoking socially (2 or 3 smokes at work every day and then 2 or 3 smokes at the bar on the weekend). So around a pack a week.

But during that time, i could always just take a week or two off if i needed to. I always wanted a smoke (especially with a beer or coffee) but i could resist the urge, no problem.

At the end of the 3 years, i just quit cold turkey. I would keep smoking once in a while with a beer, but i never went back to regular smoking…

Do you only get addicted if you’re smoking a pack a day or more?
