Yeah. The far-right border bill that aided in the demonization of immigrants we’re seeing today. The fact that so many democrats attached their name to it only served to launder the right’s racist fear-mongering about immigrants.

Fuck that bill. It’s bad policy and bad politics.

God damn it.

Eww… You’re right. What a waste.

The New York Times is a right-wing rag, and we should stop pretending it’s not.

Silly question: what’s the difference between the otf and ttf fonts?

Edit: thanks for the explainers!

I know a bunch of people that own Steam Decks, know nothing about Linux, and have no idea that their games are running on it. I’d say it’s pretty easy now.

“Karen compiler” is almost perfect, except unlike Karens, the compiler is delightfully helpful with the error messages it gives you (usually). It usually gives a straightforward error, an error code, and sometimes, an easy fix.

As someone that started with Rust, but just yesterday had to fix some C++ code, working with any other compiled language makes me shudder. I have nothing but respect for devs that have to wade through stuff like that.

Just don’t ls /dev/loop* 🫣

I just pre-ordered five of these. lol. Thanks for the rec. Wendell from Level1Techs always has his eye on the coolest stuff.

I’d love some suggestions. I have a 1440p 32:9 monitor that can act as separate displays, but since Synergy, input-leap, and the other software KVMs don’t work on Wayland, I’m having a bad time :(

Broken clock 🤷 It helps when the US is committed to doing the wrong the at basically every step with Israel.

People with PhDs in Vim will laugh at this, but I sometimes connect to remote systems through VS Code SSH connections when I’m working on a project with multiple files on a remote system.

I have the reMarkable 2. It ships with real Linux and has full SSH and root access. It’s an awesome, hackable device.

The only annoying thing about it is that I tend to have to use PDFs instead of EPUBs because it lags to hell when rendering them for some reason.

From personal experience: if you’re trying to dual-boot with Windows, I recommend using completely separate drives (rather than separate partitions). Windows is very shitty about overwriting your Linux boot partitions when it updates. Having a separate drive isn’t fool-proof, but it helps.

I haven’t needed Windows in >10 years though, so maybe it’s not as shitty about that, but I recommend caution.

Fish is actually user friendly and easy to learn. The interactive completions are better than any other shell and are something I don’t want to live without.

It differs from bash in some esoteric ways, but any issues you might encounter as a result are easily worked around by putting shebangs in your scrips, which you should be doing anyway, and bash -c 'your command'.

Honorable mention for nushell, but that one differs from bash a little too much to pick up quickly. However, having an object-oriented shell is pretty sick.

Best distro: the ones that are working towards declarative configs. NixOS is cool, but I’m very excited for the potential of blendOS, which doesn’t require learning a whole new language because the config is written in YAML.

Worst distro: Manjaro, obviously. Just use EndeavourOS instead.

I’m afraid to ask but… how are they supporting cops?
