I don’t think there was any distraction. We had two shit choices and NDP. And since this country fails to elect NDP time after time, it was a given that we were pretty fucked. The main difference during this election between the parties that I saw were:

1. The Liberal platform didn’t contradict itself every point or two

2. The Liberal platform focused a lot more on domestic tourism, accessibility, and making it easier to transport our own goods across provincial borders.

I don’t see how bill C-5 fits into any of the platform they put forward.

I think it’s for show. “Look, we tried. The problem isn’t Canada.”

Yeah, I thought that was a bit weird, too. Going as basic as explaining how to use ls and cat and how to run an executable, but not mentioning how to make an executable actually be executable.

I thought maybe it was just something wacky with my Termux install that made me have to chmod it all.

I also found it weird how the game didn’t manage HP and inventory for you. There must have been better ways for it to show you how to use session variables…

I found I had to chmod u+x the binaries, but they worked fine. You need to make sure you call them as ./filename (assuming you are in the same directory as the file)

IE:

chmod u+x treasure

./treasure

Forked it, renamed it, and changed nothing but the license on it.

What’s stopping it from becoming the defacto version putting the original into the point where it’s no longer worth maintaining, then Microsoft pulls it and sells it as a subscription service?

I don’t have anything too fancy. I use [theFuck(https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck) to handle typos, and I have some variables set to common directories that I use.

For me it’s been the availability of packages, and how up-to-date things are. The AUR is a gamechanger.

Getting my first computer up wasn’t too bad - really no more time to configure it than anything else, and you can just toss your packages to a a text file and your dotfikes to GitHub. Didn’t take long at all to get my second computer set up

Makes sense. I went from Suse to Mepis, stuck with it for a bit after they transitioned to Ubuntu before just going full Ubuntu, but I was getting frustrated by how long it took for their repos to catch up. I’ve been on Arch for a year or two now and it’s been fantastic.

I ran Ubuntu for like 15 years and was especially recently getting frustrated by how far behind the packages always were. I’m full in on Arch - everything about it has been a much better experience.

Nah, there is no strawman in my point. Speeding is not an issue - especially on streets that have gone from 80 down to 60. Of everybody on the road, speeders are the least of my concern, even before I had my license though back then there was also far more bitching about slow walkers, too.

Sorry you don’t have the reaction speed to handle driving a vehicle at a moderate pace. I hope you stick to side streets for your own safety.

What’s with all the Mint hype? I’ve never used it and have little desire to go back to a Ubuntu-based distro. Just curious why everyone loves it so much.

I’ve never understood the fedora hype. The fact that it is adjacent to Redhat should be enough for people to want to stay away lol.

Nah, I’m advocating for people using the currently designed system to not be a bunch of slow and distracted morons.

The topic of completely gutting current city Laputa and restructuring them to be designed for pedestrian traffic at the forefront would be ideal, but was not the topic being discussed.

Sure, if you’re going to make the city fully designed for pedestrians and cyclists, with proper public transit connecting cities that would be fantastic.

Shit, Europe also has the Autobahn, but we’d be fucked if we tried to have a highway like that over here.

Hundo, and if the person I let in front of me drives like shit, I’ll hope that there isn’t also an idiot blocking me in so I can get around them.

They can’t understand, much like they can’t process things when driving 80kmh. They are, no doubt, one of the people doing the limit in the inside lane with 0 intention to pass the car beside them and get back into the appropriate lane.

But here they are telling us how everybody else is a problem.

Boy, nothing gets by you eh? I was pretty overt from the get-go that I tend to drive slightly above the limit when it is safe to do so.

As for people who can accelerate and people who speed being the biggest danger on the road, I’d say the people retarding the flow of traffic, the people who expect us all to be psychic and know when they’re about to change lanes without a blinker, and the people turning left on a long yellow light or sneaking in behind on the red are far, far worse.

It’s difficult living in a world of mentally slow people who can’t process for shit, so there’s no sense trying to argue with you here. Just keep driving like a putz and enjoy the fact that while you can’t grasp the concept of a blinker or reaching the limit, cops are aggressively going after people who can reach limits and are able to process things at an above average rate.

Inform myself of what? The 10 year old crossing the empty street at 3am on a school night? Sure…

If other cars would just fucking do the limit and not take years to get there, there would be far less speeding. I know I’m mostly doing it to make up for lost time from all the dumb fucks I’m stuck behind/beside because they can’t keep the fuck up with traffic

Great, so set the limits to 70kmh so pedestrians stop being so careless, or lower the limits and put more pedestrian crossings in place.
