There’s more blind folks over on Mastodon, particularly on https://dragonscave.space/ .
Maybe we can lure some of them over here, though, by using one of these: #blind

Could be that the companies they supplied to filed for damages, due to them not meeting supply targets…


OP should’ve posted to !shittyasklemmy@lemmy.ml, if they want meme answers. If they want a factual answer, then “ghosts don’t exist” is that.


Well, in hopes that you’re not just trolling, maybe you’ll believe a dictionary that “stable” is ambiguous in this context. Because this is one of the listed meanings:
(computing) Of software: established to be relatively free of bugs, as opposed to a beta version.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/stable#Adjective
It also lists your meaning. I’m not saying that you’re wrong. I’m saying it’s ambiguous, i.e. there’s two meanings that could apply here.
Well, and personally, I do feel like more people will interpret “stable” to mean bug-free here, because Debian is a piece of software to them.


Yeah, but that’s exactly the meme that I’m talking about.
It’s always ambiguous what is meant by stability. And as soon as you complain about Debian actually breaking very easily, folks will readily tell you about the technicality that it just means it doesn’t change very often.


Having btrfs+snapper set up by default sounds good. I wish Debian-based distros in general would finally make a move there. It’s a bit of a meme that folks laud Debian for its stability, but you can easily break it with one wrong command.
And who knows, maybe TuxedoOS adopting it can serve as a proof of concept and get Debian itself to adopt btrfs sooner.
I also like how they claim it’s completely different to KRunner and then, save for OCR and whatever “circle to search” is, these are all features in KRunner.


Yeah, some colleagues from India expressed their concern last week, because they heard how hot it was here.
Felt really weird to have that be actual concern and not just them mocking us, because they’re used to + equipped for worse temperatures.


More of a general tip: https://reuse.software/ can help to get this stuff right.
Pretty sure, it won’t be able to help with your use-case of copy-pasting code snippets, though (it’s not at all trivial to know which parts you copy-pasted), but it gives you a structure to work with and can automatically annotate new source files.


I mean, my first 30 seconds of experiencing Windows 11 was watching a coworker wait for the file manager to open + render its toolbar, so I don’t think I could’ve really come to a different conclusion…
Also funny: Bosnia and Herzegovina has almost exactly a 100th of the population of the USA.

Very good article for folks who’ve had to teach juniors/trainees Git before.
This is, to my mind, one of the greatest advantages of git (and, by-the-by, also automated testing): the added security that being able to restore to an earlier state whenever you need to allows you to take more risks and try more things when building software.
Yeah, I always tell them it’s like checkpoints or like a save in a game.
But this also ties into the needing-a-teacher aspect to properly learn Git: Due to the nature of what Git accomplishes, it has a lot of complex failure modes. And at the start, you need a teacher to get you through those.
The worst-case is if they start dreading merges, because they can’t past them and then they try to merge less often, which makes the conflicts so much harder to deal with.
Or if they can’t get past merge conflicts and stop seeing the point in small Git commits and in good commit messages. That also makes merge conflicts so much worse.
That’s kind of my motivation to be good at Git. I need to be able to tell juniors, that if they’ve created a commit, then we can unfuck the repo no matter what they might do wrong.


You might be thinking of OnlyOffice…?
Looks like a typo: !datahoarder@selfhosted.forum
df only shows partitions, whereas du adds up the file sizes in the directory you specify.
So, in particular, if you want to find out what’s taking up so much space, you can repeatedly run du -sh * and cd into the largest directory.


By the way, I also fucking hate that these awful companies are now naming their shit with misleading names. If you don’t spot the capital S here, you might think, it’s an account at the website that you’re shopping on.
Klarna also has a payment method, which is called something like “direct transfer”. When it’s included on a webpage, they don’t have their branding or anything next to it, to make you think, it’s a normal bank transfer, when it’s not.


Yeah, I also imagine there’s lots of folks who have their handful of games in rotation that wouldn’t care to buy a new game anyways. And then also lots of folks, who just don’t have the hardware for it…


I believe, the Playstation implementation streams from your console, so primarily good for in-home streaming…
Expecting the runtime/browser to ship a native implementation of virtually everything you might want to do in a turing-complete language, is also really not sustainable, though.
