Does that qualify as irony?

Yep. Just like in a meeting when someone asks "John, do you have anything to add?" "No, but ... <10 minutes of additions>"

Very sad. Like others here, vim is a huge part of my work. I even use qutebrowser for vim keys. From what I understood, he was the primary developer and gatekeeper for vim. I wonder if he had plans in place for when he was going to retire

It doesn't matter what you say, just say it in a fake British accent. Make sure to awkwardly phase it out over time.

Looks like some process in your startup scripts (fish profile, etc) have not completed. I have seen this type of thing when NFS mounts are unreachable. Try opening another terminal window... if it does the same thing, press Ctrl+C, then run ps -ef and see what processes are running as you that might be hung

Dark (German/Netflix)

This guy does (or did) monthly Arch installs where he'd focus on a different aspect each month. For instance, one month he may do an install with an encrypted filesystem. And the next month he may focus on BTRFS.

It's been a couple months since I tried it. There were too many dick pics for me. And, really, not enough pictures from creators I know. However, I did get to see a bunch of beautiful photography and a few pet pics that were good.

You can download the Windows ISO from Microsoft. The Windows License information is stored in your BIOS, IIRC

I've got to tell you as a 50 year old: everything hurts -- all the time.

"I know kung fu"

In 1993, a guy I knew had a Linux server running in his dorm room. I think it was a 0.9x kernel. He dialed into the University network and I was able to telnet in through my own dial up connection to the University. He was running Slackware.

Within a couple months, I downloaded all 30+ 1.44 diskette images and built my own Slackware server. In that time I used Slackware and Red Hat (which then became Fedora before RHEL became a thing). Now I've pretty much settled on Debian for servers and Arch for desktop/laptop systems.

What's wrong with RaspberryPiOS? It's just Debian with Raspberry Pi utils/firmware installed AFAIK

BEST TV show? Hmmm.... Better Call Saul, The West Wing, The Leftovers, The Wire, Friends

All Along the Watchtower (favorite versions: Jimi Hendrix and Dave Matthews Band)

My grandfather was always "fair to middlin'"

Wez is actually pretty awesome too

For my machines, I switched to NeoVim a while ago. There were certain instances when editing large files that Vim would lag and NeoVim doesn't. But I manage a lot of systems that are not my systems, so I use Vim on those.

As @Vitaly@feddit.uk said, I'd virtualize it if you can. But if there is a reason you want to use actual hardware with Windows (gaming, installing firmware that requires Windows, VR, etc), I'd install a dedicated disk for Windows.

If you can't do either of those things, look at gparted to resize your partitions.

I'm disappointed that the Pixel 8 is 6.2" instead of 6". I really wanted to support the smaller form factor, but since it's not as small as I wanted, I may end up going for the 8 Pro.

I think it depends on what expectations were.

You and your friends make a horror movie and it's better than you thought: Hey, that's pretty good.

Steven Spielberg makes a mediocre horror movie: It was pretty good.

What are you looking to automate? Home Assistant does a lot of things that could have been done with IFTTT.

You wanna know what? You got a problem with Canada Gooses, you got a problem with me, and I suggest you let that one marinate.

I quit drinking about 11 years ago. The first week or so was very difficult. Then the next 3 months were tough but bearable. I used several resources to help me: a therapist, some books about addiction, r/stopdrinking (there's a c/stopdrinking).

It's hardly been an issue after about the 6-9 month mark. I did have one extremely stressful time in the past year that I was somewhat close to considering the idea of drinking, but it passed.

Some people use AA (and other 12 step programs). They did not speak to me -- I did go for a few months, but in the end, I felt I didn't need it.

I assume you're talking about the order in which apps appear when you first launch rofi. That's in the cache file in ~/.cache as something like rofi3.druncache or rofi-3.druncache (or both). Delete (or rename) them and see if that addresses your issue.

If you truly mean the config file, it's in ~/.config/rofi. Delete or rename to see if it fixes your issue

I have had some problems doing what you're trying to do. Replacing the variable with a function would work.

rmdec() { sed 's/...$//'; }

Nextcloud Notes?

Pixel phones. I've had the 2XL, 4a, 6 Pro, 7 Pro, and 8 Pro. Each one was better than the last. I know some people had manufacturing problems and the Pixel 3 had memory issues. But I've been lucky and never had issues. And the software experience is exactly what I want. Call Screening is awesome.

lasim worked great for me

I used to use Relay. It was great. But Voyager is really nice for Lemmy

Ooh, yeah. @Kyrgizion@lemmy.world brought up Dark. One of THE best shows. Even if the first season was better than the other two, the whole series was phenomenal.

If you guys have gmail accounts, use Google Chat.

I had a similar problem. I had made a bunch of changes to a document and just closed LibreOffice Calc thinking it would prompt me to save it. It did not. It just exited and discarded my changes. I went in that day and turned on AutoSave.

I use it for connecting a computer to a KVM

There's a cool utility called lasim. It worked really well for me.

I just started watching this video after recommending his channel right when you did.

Oh yeah! Definitely awesome. Bear is great!

You could either alias ls='ls -N' or do something like export QUOTING_STYLE=literal

I'd have to say Die Hard. It was one of the first rated R movies my parents let me see. I feel like it redefined how action movies were made. It's very rewatchable. And yippee kayay mother fuckers!

This phone looks awesome. I'm going to get it if the Pixel 8 is a dud. Note that it does not work on Verizon, Sprint, or US Cellular.
