My system: please! It's been 4 months! I have 73000 updates pending, please do an update!

Me: mmm, maybe later

ignotum ,

400? Seconds or years?

Firefox has built-in cookie-deletion when you close the browser/tab, it's under settings/privacy i believe

I heard a guy saying that linux was trash, he had tried it once but it didn't have drivers for anything and what did exist was difficult to install
So I asked him when it was that he tried it

I think he said something like 1998...

I'm starting to think this meme might not be 100% historically accurate 🤔

I've only tried EndeavourOS with the i3 wm, it was better than setting it up myself from scratch, but it still left a lot to be desired (in particular; no way to deal with external displays as far as i could tell, except using xrandr)

But i guess it's more focused on the desktop manager options?

ignotum ,

Aren't there any applications that can automatically manage displays? Many dms let you cycle through "only primary, "only secondary", "mirrored" "side by side", is that something that has to be built in to the wm/dm?

Is that something arandr can do? I couldn't get it to do anything useful, so i ended up writing some scripts on top of xrandr to do it

ignotum ,

mister_monster seems to suggest it is though

ignotum ,

Based on my search when i looked into arandr earlier, and also my search now, it cannot :( looks like it's just a graphical interface for xrand

But looks like there's a different project, autorandr, that looks promising, it won't automatically run when a display is connected or disconnected, but that's easy enough to do with an udev rule or something

ignotum ,

Quickswitch or automatic switch to a different profile, i often found myself enabling an external display and disabling the built-in one, then when packing down my laptop i forgot to manually configure the built in, meaning when i got home i had a laptop with a blank screen,
Sometimes i was able to log in, open a terminal and enable the screen, other times i would have to reboot it. Something that could automatically enable the builtin if no external display is connected would've gone a long way for my usecase (my attempts at writing scripts for that never worked from what i recall, something got messed up when going to sleep)

Doesn't xfce use a dm? What kind of display configuration does it give? A gui for manually configuring the layout or something more?

ignotum ,

Display manager
I thought the d stood for Desktop, but i'm thinking of de, i see i've been mixing up terms, i've also been under the incorrect understanding that window managers and desktop environments were mutually exclusive, e.g. a desktop environment like xfce would conflict with a window manager like i3

Those scripts look cleaner than mine, perhaps i should give it another go, i'm currently on ubuntu, but many of the packets being 15 years out of date is starting to get annoying, i miss aur with its [xxx]-git packages

How much is a "substantial amount"? There's not thaaat much porn on e621, most of it is marked safe

    Haven't had it happen to me, but a guy i know dealt with it but saying "no don't touch it, it doesn't bother me"

    His screen got covered in porn whenever he turned out on, hot singles in his area...

    ignotum ,

    I had an update take like 20 minutes

    Though that was primarily caused by the machine having like 200kBps download speed

    I also use arch btw

    That's why i declined a free photoshop license and some cad software license when i was a student, and instead went straight to learning Gimp and FreeCAD

    What can you get to within a 15-minute walk of your house?

    A recent YouGov survey asked Americans what they think they should be able to get to within a 15-minute walk of their house.

    Of these choices, I can currently walk to all of them from my apartment, aside from a university (no biggie, I'm not currently studying, although there is a Tafe within walking distance), a hospital, and a sports arena.

    How many can you get to with a 15 minute walk from your house?

    Haha yeah i noticed that about the bank as well, i haven't been to a physical bank in... 6 years?

    Having one nearby wouldn't be very high up on my wishlist

    They saw an elderly woman walking on the street, and they didn't shoot her on sight?

    I hope those officers were fired on the spot for not following standard protocol!

    My father says the microwave can't be used for this and that, but he also absolutely refuses to use anything except max power

    I was cooking something at low power for like 10 minutes, he saw the micro was done but the food was still not done, so he set it to max for 5 minutes and it came out completely burned...

    ignotum ,

    Five warning shots to the head

    Yeah, that's how we all hope we'll go out

    What if they have more than one pc? Are they supposed to buy a harddrive for each?

    Get yourself a NAS and use that for swap, much easier to share between devices!

    An adult that still believes in Santa might not lead to anything bad, but it leads to them indoctrinating their children to also believe in Santa into adulthood,

    And if some dude can live on the north pole and travel to every home on earth in one night, then other equally ludicrous ideas might not sound so far fetched

    And before you know it you're wearing radioactive stickers to rebalance your chakras, sticking jade eggs up your ass to bring luck and you're blowing up a shopping mall because your imaginary friend hates gay people

    That sounds an awful lot like sexual depravity, which makes god sad for some reason so i believe you'll be cast into a fiery pit to have your skin melted off, regrown, then melted off again, for all eternity. And this will be just, a punishment that fits the crime

    And while you're in excruciating pain for all eternity just remember: god loves you ♥️

    Cops Used DNA to Predict a Suspect’s Face—and Tried to Run Facial Recognition on It (www.wired.com)

    For facial recognition experts and privacy advocates, the East Bay detective’s request, while dystopian, was also entirely predictable. It emphasizes the ways that, without oversight, law enforcement is able to mix and match technologies in unintended ways, using untested algorithms to single out suspects based on unknowable...

    Considering how common rape is in American prisons and how often innocent people are getting locked up, that does not sound unlikely
