One way to lighten the load on servers is to host your images externally. You can still embed the images into your post and nobody will be able to see the difference on first glance. The markdown to embed is:  any means necessary. So the AUR doesn't contain a package but a text file containing instructions. Where to download the necessary files, where to put them, that sort of stuff. In most cases the files is just the source code and your system will compile it according to the instructions in that text file. Compiling means it will turn the human readable programing in to computer readable stuff. In other words, it will create, or build, a standard arch package right then and there, on your system. That's why the text file is referred to both as "Build Files" or as Pkgbuild.
If you look at your screenshot, you see, that it first downloads your PKGBUILD and then shows the file as present (it uses the plural, because in exceptions there are additional files such as systemd-files that are downloaded as well).
When installing apps from the AUR yay will cache stuff to speed up build times. Performing a clean build means not using this cache. In most cases just pressing enter will work just fine.
And now is the part were I must warn you: Be careful with the AUR:
- Every app gets root during install, meaning that it can do everything it wants during that time. It's generally recommended that you review every Pkgbuild before installing it. Nobody i know actually does that and the AUR is moderated, so there are people that take actions if someone uploads malware, but that's mostly reactive. To my knowledge there never has been malware in the AUR but it is a possible attack vector.
- The official wiki states: "The AUR is unsupported, so any packages you install are your responsibility to update, not pacman's. If packages in the official repositories are updated, you will need to rebuild any AUR packages that depend on those libraries." yay will mostly take care of that but there is also [3]
- Most impotently: The AUR is a project of Arch Linux. You are not using Arch, you are using Manjaro. Manjaro is build on top of Arch, but the tend to hold updates back a bit while they check them for bugs. The people managing the AUR don't care about that. So they might push an update assuming your system to have those held back updates and things may break.
In conclusion. If possible stick with the repos and flatpak. If an app is not available this way you can use the AUR. If you use the AUR you can keep just pressing Enter until the app in question is installed. Just don't be surprised if the app breaks two months later because of something stupid the Manjaro devs did
You are probably thinking of freetube
Why should we be sorry. Russia brought this on themselves.
Here is an example of how to use this:
The code  produces:

E-Mail is a federated standard, so in that sense every mail provider is part of the fediverse.
I think you are confusing fediverse with non profit and/or open source
If that is your question than yes there are alternatives out there. For example murena, the organisation behind the degoogled android fork /e (more information)
Sure, but people were really mad earlier this year because Wizards of the Coast, the company that owns D&D tried to pull some licencing related shenanigans that would have massively fucked over the community. People were boycotting the movie a couple of months ago over that. It's interesting, that Baldurs Gate seems to not be affected by this at all.
What do you mean, there are no clear guides for Linux? https://demo.papercut.com/content/help/clienttool/topics/user-client-install-linux.html
It's even in the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/papercut-client-bin
In other words Airdrop for Linux that works with both iOS and Android.
May I introduce you to LocalSend
You mean the outdated piece of software that everyone (on Linux) used, which is slowly being replaced by multiple different implementations all based on the same standard? Seems to me like an apt (no pun intended) metaphor.
Which is why the comment you where replying to specified
in civilised countries
The implication beeping that the US is not. Because in a lot of other countries surprise clauses in your T&C's is illegal
If you don't want to do that, then you can buy a bootable drive (for example here: https://www.shoplinuxonline.com/mint21-usb.html)
Using a different tool to create a bootable drive is just a part of installing any operating system, not just Linux. If you ever need to install windows on a pc that doesn't have it installed you will see the same process.

I've long been calling cars the Swiss army knifes of transportation. Those knives objectively suck for most usecases. Sure, there is a little saw on there, but you're not going to cut a tree with it. Similarly most dedicated tools will be better than their eqivalent on the multitool. But that's not the point of a Swiss army knife. The little red tool is everything at once, removing the need to decide what to bring.
Cars work in similar ways. They are inefficient, loud and bad for everybody's health, including the planets. But they are also your all in one. Want to haul stuff? Cars. It's raining and you don't want to get wet? Cars. And so on and so forth. Each of this usecases has better alternatives (public transport, cargo bike etc) but none of these serve all usecases at once.
The car therefore promotes intellectual laziness. Driving a car means not having to think about the best way, because the car always provides a way. And city design often helps with that. The extreme is North America, but other places are not free from this.
Public transport rarely being door to door adds to this. You have to actually think about where the stations are in relation to your destination. Searching for parking is similar but people frequently don't think of it as being part of the driving experience.
And then there are additional reasons, that are less stupid. I've been told, that some people for example that some people don't feel save taking transit, especially those of minorities. The car provides a level of isolation.
Also social stigma (I would classify that reason as stupid though)
The big question is: What are you interested in and on what instance are you? For new users the local timeline is the best way to start building your network. Of course that only works if you picked an instance that caters to your interests.
Honestly that's my biggest problem with the official app always pointing you mastodon.social. It hides away one of the best on-boarding features in order to be more familiar rather than trying to make it work.
Another way to find people is the fedifinder, a tool that shows you who of the people you follow on twitter also has a mastodon account (assuming you are on twitter)
No. On your screenshot you can see that the apps that you are trying to install are numbered. It's hard to notice because you are only installing on app so the numbering stops at one, but if you tried to install multiple apps or the app depended on an other package from the AUR you would see more entries in this list and each entry would be numbered.
So specifying a range would mean package 1, 2 and 3. An option like that can come in handy when performing updates
Luckily they don't have to switch. Your good friends from the European union have a solution for you (And the latest beta for whatsapp features the skeleton for their implementation of that standard)
Don't get your hopes up just yet. This is just my idea of how such an app could look like. Doesn't mean, anybody is actually going to build it.
It's not exactly what you are looking for, because the pen is not battery free, but the star lite is a surface style convertible that ships with Linux out of the box. And it supports MPP pens
Thank you
You might want to take a look at sxmo then: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Sxmo
Sxmo utilises your phone's volume buttons to navigate menus. Plus you get to bragg that you are running sway on your phone 😉

ALLES EINZELFÄLLE
Of course. But I had to target a form factor for my graphics. I'm aware that a real app would likely scale correctly on both mobile and desktop.
Snap is portable to other distros, look at the official website and you see a list of distros, you can use snap on. That doesn't mean that there is no vendor lock-in, just a different kind. Snap as a format grew out of Cannonicals effort in the mobile field. Snaps where supposed to be the truly convergent successor to click, the packaging format used by Ubuntu Touch. And this history is baked into its DNA. It's right there on the snapcraft website: "The app store for Linux". As such Cannonical has always courted proprietary software and/or software by big companies (VS Code was first released as a snap for a reason). I think that they have always have had an eye on one day adding app payments and the sweet, sweet 30% cut they can take from every sale
Oh I don't doubt that meta will be mining all the data they can get via this integration. That's what the company exists for. I'm just not sure it's any additional data they aren't getting anyway.
I haven't tried it myself but the StarLite is a surface style convertible designed to run Linux, even shipping with the distribution of your choice right out of the box. And apparently it supports MPP pens. It's not in the official specs but StarLabs is selling an active pen that's "exclusively designed for the StarLite Mk V"

You don't need to justify your purchasing decision to me. I am not even calling for a boycott of the game. I know people at Larian and I wish them all the success they can get.
I am just surprised that this whole thing seems to be completely absent from the larger discussion about this game. I would have assumed, that it would have been at least a footnote.
You can actually write posts from a Mastodon account that look well on Lemmy. All you have to do is follow a few basic rules.
- Your post must include a line break. Everything above the break will be converted into the title of the post, everything below into the body.
- Don't put any hyperlinks into your title. That includes hashtags and @ mentions. See the original post for why
- Keep your headline short. Lemmy has a character limit for the headline and if you exceed it your title might just end mid sentence
- Put the @ mention of the community at the end of your post. It's nothing but a technical necessity, so treat it as such and hide it away at the bottom of your post
If you follow these rules you can write posts from Mastodon
Those Linux eqivalents also (often) have Windows versions. You can test if they work for you and make the big switch if they do
Technically they don't even have to give you the option to refuse cookies if they have a legitimate interest to collect them. The idea being that if a company's business model depends on them collecting a certain data point then you shouldn't be able to get the service for free.
All of this means, that if a site offers you to refuse cookies they have a legitimate interest on then it's probably bullshit and they are just using the general confusion to get more data than nessesary.
The other one did as well (https://zdf.social)
And thanks to activityPub there is interoperability between services. I only have a Mastodon account, but I can follow people on pixelfed without problem. It moves the focus back onto communicating rather than being on the platform
- You can actually import assets from unity into godot using a 3rd party add-on (If the assets license allows is)
- Godot has C# scripting
Ubisoft complained, so now it's just "Catan - the Game"
Open Media Vault. It's Debian, but with a nice web UI on top to manage the system. It allows you to setup NAS-shares visually, so you don't have to rely on your ancient and possibly a bit rusty terminal knowledge. It also gives you the option to easily install portainer, a way to manage docker containers, like a firewall
You could mitigate that by adding a limited, rotating color pallet. every time pixels are locked two colors are taken away and two different colors are added. You would always be able to see beforehand when certain colors would be made available, enabling a new level of planing. It also forces creative solutions in defending your art
That idea would even work standalone without the immutable thing
Solus and Manjaro are shipping Snap installed by default and I've never had a problem installing snapd on fedora. All I ever had to do for that was run a single standard dnf install. Apparmor doesn't pose the problem you think it does
Inkscape is like Illustrator. Krita is a digital painting application, so Photoshop. It doesn't replace Photoshop in every usecase. But in that regard it's better than the tool from Adobe (or so I've been told)
The reason, you aren't finding anything, is that nobody really attempts to install premiere or after effects anymore on Linux. The alternatives have cought up and they are available for Linux.
Back to your question: making things work with wine has a significant drawback. Your system can break with every update. So you're not making it work just once but over and over again.
