The guy is German, and the German language traditionally uses generic masculine pronouns, although that has become a big political issue in the past years. Some new gender-neutral forms have developed, but some of them have even been banned by the "center"-right-wing clowns in two state governments, and it's all a bit of a mess. The guy probably thoght "they" in English is a similarly experimental concept, and while it's still dumb and he should just try to be as inclusive as possible, it's probably not a matter of him purposefully excluding women from the documentation.

Are people here reading the whole mastodon thread?

it is 200% okay to bully them into submission

Sounds rather toxic, and also counterproductive.

Files are soo outdated. The user should not have to worry about "Files". What even is a " Directory"? Your nudes are on some guys computer in california but the world is in your hand. there is an app for everything, just use the apps, go with the flow, look at lots of ads, buy a tesla, tell your dirty secrets to google bard — everything is intuitive...

"Everyone knew it was impossible. But then, a fool who didn't know came along. And afterwards he also knew."

I used to like the idea of nixos because it felt "tidy" to configure everything centrally. However that tidyness is achieved by adding an extra layer which just replicates the configuration options of every program. If there is a bug in that layer or something is just not implemented, either you have to learn the whole inernals of nixos and nixpkgs, for which there is no real documentation, or you have to resort to doing things imperatively again, which is hard because of the opacity of the generated system and also defeats the whole purpose. So basically, you are completely dependent on nixos developers for things you could have easily done yourself on arch.

Hot take: Depression is not actually a primarily neurological disease so you can't expect to cure it by fixing something in your brain

This is just a worse version. Repost the one with the fruitwave vibes

The thing that's wrong here is that people use/trust a proprietary web service as if it was a part of public infrastructure.

Translation (trying to conserve the odd wording):

Rainbows prove that there is a dome located above us.

For a rainbow to appear, one needs something that can reflect light. A dome can do precisely that. If you try to create a rainbow, without something reflective being near, the rainbow won't be displayed.

Nice liar's paradox you constructed there.

I switched to Nixos after reading a lot about it and eventually switched back to arch because I didn't like how hacky everything felt. On the surface it seems really clean because of the central configuration file and the reproducible nature of the whole thing, but in the rare case something doesn't go as planned, it's hard to know how to do anything about it. Basically everything that would have been a configuration issue for you to fix, is now a bug. Also, I found no easy way to install software that isn't in nixpkgs (which is rare, but happens).

She is brooding her eggs, of course

Have you checked the log files under /var/log/xorg.0....log?

If you want to get your graphical session back quickly, maybe try setting up GNOME with wayland (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME#Wayland_sessions)

An peasant on the crescent

Discord being proprietary should be reason enough to try to replace it

I agree that manjaro is shit, but "your distro is shit" is not helpful advice for someone who wants to get their graphical session back.

Thanks for that one, seems incredibly useful for such a small thing.

You can also check /var/log/pacman.log for the packages you installed, then pacman -Ql the packages to list what files they might have changed

Mounting the home partition at /home in the installer should work. Deleting the /home of the user you're logged in as isn't going to work because the applications you use to do it will most likely try to write something into ~/.local or .config, do it's never really empty. You could log into the root user though and do it from there.

Btw. It's not really beneficial to put your home partition on an HDD for the same reason. All Programs you use are going to have to access some hidden config or data files so it's going to slow everything down. (Also in case you use Steam, it installs all the games in ~/.local) A better way is to mount the HDD somewhere else and symlink your ~/Documents, ~/Pictures etc to the HDD.

More like someone who struggles with social anxiety and low self-esteem

Would be. Or i could just argue that the prevalent notion of health is too focused on physiological issues, and that in the recent efforts to recognize depression as a valid illness, there is a tendency to reframe it as a neurological disease, rather than validating mental issues as such. As far as I'm informed the neurological processes involved in depression and the effect of psychotropic drugs are not well understood, so there isn't even a basis there to determine what causes what.

Why would this little bash script that does nothing extraordinary need constant updates? Some pieces of software might just be complete as they are.

Classic, never fix anything, just change to , you wouldnt have experienced any problems, ever
