nano is usually built in. Adding another one is just redundant if all you’re using it for is editing an occasional config file.

Honestly never understood the hate for it. Who cares? Petty, stupid, nerd-wars over little crap like a text editor is the reason average people don’t even consider linux.

Should have never gotten rid of them.

“Hey…that’s our job.”

                 -- Conservatives

Kathryn Bigelow’s most under-rated film is almost upon us…just 30 years later than we thought.

Also…if you haven’t seen that movie…go watch it. It’s low-key one of her best.

Fuck off, Carney.

If…and that’s a big IF…the orange shit-stain had taken the appropriate steps through congress, then maybe you could be standing giving your support. But as it is, this is illegal by ANY standard of the law.

And also, finally, coalitions in our government are a reality. In Canada, minority/parliament dynamics make “vote + apply pressure” a real lever.

A-fucking-men to that. It frustrates me to no end that people (conservatives) don’t understand that that’s precisely how a minority goverment is supposed to function.

You’d watch Pierre Poppinfresh get on his stump about “collusion” between the NDP and the Liberals like it’s some kind of conspiracy when in reality it’s just how shit gets done. Negotiation and compromise.

The conservative party (at least those that are on the MapleMAGA spectrum) have a binary view of governning; if they’re not the ones in power, they would rather not contribute to the government by negotiating and having a hand in shaping policy, because doing so would give the Liberals a “win” and that is anathema to a modern hard-C Conservative.

So instead of actually actively taking part in government, they stump around shouting at the other parties that do.

It legitimately took me a second for my brain to un-break itself when I looked at the photo. First thinking…something’s not right here…and not for even a moment thinking it would be something as stupid as putting the heat-sink on the case fan… Then the realisation that yes…it really is something that stupid.

Which bridge are we talking about? Is it the soon to be renamed ‘Epstein-Trump Memorial Bridge’?

Breezy. Because AsteroidOS and Gadgetbridge.

That’s a loooong way down to get to:

“Named after a dance.”

That being said, being named after a dance is just one theory. Truth is no one remembers anymore.

Growing up in Saskatchewan, my brain almost naturally began to delineate a difference between hooded sweaters with a zipper (hoodie) and hooded sweaters without a zipper (bunny hug). It’s a completely arbitrary naming convention that my brain decided to pull from its ass one day. But it stuck and I continue to use it.

I get that government use needs to be stringently tested for security, and so things take a little longer. But really, there are PLENTY of good FOSS products in existence that can be used as a base framework and a head-start to things like this.

You don’t have to re-invent the wheel when you could easily fork Jitsi-meet and harden it/secure it to your needs in the government.

Jitsi is one of my top 5 FOSS projects that are basically already mature enough to be used in a professional setting

I’m intelligent, but not nearly intelligent enough for whatever this is…

Is this just another way of talking about the Teleological framework of time (like the heptapods in Arrival)?

Yes.

After god knows how many years now of being on Linux exclusively, I tend to look at the terminal (commands in general) as a convenience more than a necessity. Meaning that in a lot of cases, knowing a command and quickly typing it to start an update (for example) is just faster and easier than pulling up the GUI every time.

“Industrial Resilience” is important. But its something that can be built over time as long as there continues to be the will to do so.

The far bigger threat right now isn’t there fact that we are dependent on foreign manufacturing, its WHICH foreign manufacturing.

Right now we are subjugated economically by a psychopathic autocracy to the south. Wev need to take whatever measures necessary to get out of that and with about after, after.

Real answer: Because ghost’s aren’t real, of course.

Hippie bullshit answer: Because ghost’s have unfinished business, and since dinosaurs weren’t sentient in the way humans are, they won’t have any unfinished business.

Good luck with your vast reserves of domestic Potash, Donny.

Cool. Thanks for the info. I must have been on the Flatpak for so long that I just never noticed.

Which version of the plugin did you install. There’s a whole bunch of them when you type flatpak install gimp. The resynthesizer version that works with gimp3 flatpak is number 20 in my screenshot. The one that has the 3

I don’t disagree. Just saying that the price for that sacrifice was to make themselves politically irrelevant. at least in the short term.

Not sure. I’d assume its the same as the flatpak with a bit more work involved in deconstructing the apk file, adding the plugin to the proper folder and then recompiling.
