I despise the “flashback to a thing that literally happened five minutes ago to make sure you connect that with whatever just happened/is about to happen.”
Total fucking turnoff. I’m here watching the show and I’m not an idiot. Flashback to something last season or a number of episodes ago? Fine. Some people need a reminder. Within the same episode? GTFO of here with that shit.
Super!
I feel this
youruser:youruser just means the user’s group. For instance, on my fedora 40 install, my user (bippy, just a silly name), is the username for my user, but also the name of the group that my user belongs to.
So when I do a chown, I typically do chown -R bippy:bippy path/to/directory
If you wanted to give permissions to a different group on your system, but also to your main user, you could do a chown -R bippy:wheel /path/to/directory (wheel is an example group name, which is similar to sudoers)
It’s not that Linux can’t do what you specify, but that it may not do it in the way you require, which is based on your windows experience. Lots of what you describe can be done
For example, using command line tools like sed, rename, ffmpeg, find, etc…, you can do all of the text manipulation you can imagine.
But you also specify that you want gui wrappers, and in all likelihood, there are gui wrappers for what you want to do, but to meet your exact specifications, maybe not.
If you’re willing to do some adapting, which it sounds like you are, the. I think you can pretty easily adapt to Linux, as it’s perfectly capable of handling your high level requirements. It’s in the minutiae of how those requirements are met that is in question.
You could write yourself a bash script to do this.
Found it. Thank you!
If it’s a MacBook that no longer gets updates from Apple then it’s probably from around 2014ish, and is definitely an Intel Mac. This is a great candidate for Linux. If you want an environment that is similar to Mac, go with gnome as the desktop environment. Outside of that, any of the major distributions should be fine. I’ve run KDE Neon, Ubuntu, and am currently running fedora on a 2014 iMac and all of them worked without issue.
Color me shocked that a meta product is sacrificing trust so the line continues to go up.
Man I miss basic.
Depending on the file it’s either dot notation or flat case.
Awww. The poor pkcell!
Thank you!
Thank you! I just learned about setting git’s default editor a couple weeks ago when I started learning git. I didn’t realize you could set a global default. When I think about it, it makes perfect sense, but I don’t know what I don’t know, and now I know!
I will do that. Right now I’ve got a decently solid local backup, and a so-so off site backup (right now my offsite is a hard drive I keep in my locker at work that I bring home once a week and update).
I’ve heard about borgbackup, but haven’t looked at it, as rsync has seemed to be sufficient for my needs, but I’ve made myself a note to look into it.
Thanks! Glad you’re enjoying them. I used to be a lurker on that other site, but never posted anything because it always seemed so intimidating. When the great migration happened, I came over here and have found it much more welcoming.
Oooh! That is very useful information! Thank you for this! I’m saving your comment so I can look further into this and learn more about it!!
I created an account on lemmy.world awhile ago, and had been using that as my primary lemmy account, but lately, I can’t post, comment, save posts, or up/downvote from that lemmy.world account.
As a result I decided to try creating an account on lemmy.ml (since I’m most active here on !linux@lemmy.ml) and see if I would be able to post/comment/etc…
As of so far, everything works from lemmy.ml, while my lemmy.world account still can’t interact with posts.
I get it. But I still hate it.
