If your other post of the exact same thing didn't make the impression, let me be clear: this is not the platform for you to simp for that peice of shit. Take the not-subtle hint of all the down votes and go defend misogynists on 4chan or some other shit hole of the internet

It doesn't really matter which distro you use, all hail the Arch wiki!

PS: if you use ddg, !aw is your friend here

There's a Wikipedia page for that: Vandalism on Wikipedia. The short answer is that they don't allow it, it's done by malicious editors and it's something they have been combating since its inception.

Why are you interpreting this as a power grab?

Yep, pretty easy to test, too. 4 and 5 produce the same effect as 0, meaning that it just uses that as a default for values it doesn't understand.

  • Genre: survival sandbox
  • Why I love it:
    • it's got a bit of progression to it
    • great terraforming and building
    • it's gameplay loop of "buildup, explore, smelt" repeat is on point

The only objective purpose in life is to spread your genes.

Not even that. It's not like you've failed at life if you don't have kids. You just haven't spread your genetic information. Saying that its your purpose to spread them implies it's the genes purpose to be spread. Genes simply are, they don't have a purpose just like you don't; evolution has just given organisms behaviors and mechanisms that make it very likely that they will be regardless of that lack of purpose.

These things are not mutually exclusive. The fact that Russian propaganda bots swayed a large percentage of American republican fascists in no way debunks the bots. It just means that it was an effective propaganda campaign.

But what’s the difference?

I can only imagine someone asking this if they a) don't use the terminal except if Stackexchange says they should and b) have yet to try and cleanup a system that's acquired cruft over a few years. If you don't care about it, then let me flip that around and ask why you care if people use XDG? The people who care about it are the people in the spaces that concern it.

Off the top of my head this matters because:

  • it's less clutter, especially if you're browsing your system from terminal
  • it's a single, specified place for user specific configs, session cache, application assets, etc. Why wouldn't such important foundational things required for running apps not be in a well defined specification? Why just dump it gracelessly in the user's root folder outside of pure sloppy laziness?
  • it makes uninstalling apps easier
  • it makes maintenance easier
  • it makes installing on new machines easier

It’ll be in /home anyways and I heard BSD had some issues with something that could be XDG.

Mullvad provides DNS servers: https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls

As for a fallback option, I'd go with cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 over google's offerings: https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/what-is-1.1.1.1/

A person is not limited to having just one stroke.

Shareholders are invested by their money only. If they can sue and win while also selling off their shares they're going to do it.

If conservatives regressives could learn from the past, they wouldn't be regressive.

I like my kitty

Because otherwise you're just rapidly starting then stopping the video. What else would you have it do?

As to who that person should be, I’m not really sure

This right here is the crux of how the dems fucked up so, so badly. Why they went into this election season without even attempting to run anybody aside from Biden I'll never know. All that it's reaped is all us know of not knowing anybody else and the federal party managers seem to be just as clueless (generally clueless, yes, but especially and specifically clueless here)

here's an actual article about it instead of just a random picture and text

Maybe it's just a carryover from my time in reddit where I never ever chose to look at /r/all but y'all are making me glad I stick to just my subscribed feed

I've found it precisely the opposite: Monday is like a Thursday (so experientially two Thursdays and two Fridays) with a free day to schedule doctor's appointments, car fixes, and all the other little things you'd normally have to take PTO for but now do not

Did you mean to link to this repo?

Honestly? Questions like this one

Respecting democratic norms is very important. That said, I don't know that citing US imperialist clout is the best way to get the so-called American "left" behind the incumbent administration if said voter were already looking elsewhere or not planning to vote

Not gonna lie, it was the will Reddit fiasco that has me concerned about my game library when Gabe goes

If you're getting that granular then you must've had to record the data somewhere. Did I miss where the OP is sharing their data set?

C'mon, fool, the second bullet point in the Rules section of the sidebar is precisely:

  • No NSFW content

Yeah, I use Mint and the Arch wiki is still one of my first stops when I have an issue

No. It's not like businesses that are open 7 days a week require all of their employees to work every one of those days

This is super exciting! Been waiting a long time for this

You can customize this in the Keyboard > Shortcuts settings

Also, how do you go about migrating your old config and rc files? Start fresh or just copy em over and make adjustments where necessary?

I keep all of my important configs and dot files in a git repo. When setting up a new system I clone that repo and then symlink to them in the appropriate places

btop for system resource monitoring, htop for actually finding and killing processes

I didn't realize people were hating on Timberlake, but I did find this

Idk, if this is helpful for you now, but getting acquainted with the idea of quantum quasi-particles should help make it a little more intelligible.

What is the benefit of putting a git repo site on activity pub? It's not like the underlying git repos are shared that way. I don't get why this would be a lift for hosted repositories. I'm certainly not storing my code on Jim's basement server.io

And I'm on 6.5 right now running the Mint Edge ISO edition on Mint 21.3

Nope, not even a little bit. That's why I use Cinnamon. On the workspace front, though, I do use those heavily. It helps to have dedicated workspaces. On my home setup I have a sidedesk for Obsidian and PDF reading; a hobby bench for tinkering with linux, my network, and coding; a main for webrowsing and general info gathering; one for gaming (steam and lutris live there); and one for communications like discord, signal, matrix, etc.

In the decentralized network of the fediverse where freedom of association is king, you're free to start your own instance that will federate with everybody. Of course, the other admins are as free as you are and may decide to not federate with you. Such is that degree of freedom.
