lord_ryvan,

Oh no I was there, but I was also a bit confused about their comment. I didn’t make that link immediately and assumed there was some post/thread about moms getting fucked over video games

lord_ryvan,

Anyone can upload packages to the AUR, and people often use it without verying the source, so yeah that can be dodgy

lord_ryvan,

rul o kul?

lord_ryvan,

IDK my guy looks pretty empty-headed

lord_ryvan,

The fact that paid images get boosted in search results, instead of good images, is just bad IMO

This doesn’t justify the price for me, this justifies getting rid of this system

lord_ryvan,

Don’t think C / C++ wasn’t blamed.

lord_ryvan,

Hatsune Elfu.

lord_ryvan,

Can’t say for the US, but in NL, Europe, 9-6 with an hour mandatory break is the default for programming work. We hear the adults complain about 9-5 as students, we go to work, turns out its 8-5 or 9-6. Fuck.

Uneducated works tends to be 8.5 hours per day, instead of 9; only because half an hour breaks are the norm, there.

lord_ryvan,

Sadly 32-40 hour weeks excluding breaks is what you get paid here (NL, Europe)

So if you get paid 40 hours a week, they expect you to average 45 including breaks. You get paid 40, though.

It’s really shitty IMO

lord_ryvan,

VLC has pretty mediocre rendering, it stutters a lot even on a fast PC, or renders with grey artifacts. MPV is open source, renders much clearer and faster and can be used as the backend for any simple or advanced GUI video player.

That said, VLC was great back in the early 2000’s, when it and it alone could open basically any media file and file containing media including mkv. Nowadays every video player does that.

lord_ryvan,

I just checked, they are in the UK, so not EU (anymore)

I’m not sure about Linux laptop manufacturers in India, Africa, Australia, south america etc from the top of my head, sorry

lord_ryvan,

ELI5 albeit a long one:

Your storage is like a book, with an index at the beginning. This index tells whatever computer reading it “the contents of “Math Homework 5.odt” start on page 100 and ends on page 125”, for example.

When a new file needs to be stored, the computer only has to quickly read the index, find a spot in the book with empty pages, and write the file on those pages.

Nkw, when you delete a file, the computer will only erase the index, which is much quicker. Math Homework 5.odt is gone so more another file can be written onto pages 100 through 125!

A thief getting their hands on your storage could still read the part with your file’s content on it, though, so it’s not safe!

“Secure delete” means the computer will not only erase the index entry, but even every letter from every page related to your file’s content. This takes a long time, but a thief trying to read those pages will simply see blank pages, so that’s why it’s safe!

My friend didn't have a great experience with Linux

I have been daily driving Linux for over two years now and I have switched distros many times. So, when my friend bought a new laptop, I convinced him to install Linux Mint on it. I asked him if he wanted to dual boot, he said no because it would fill up all his storage. We installed Linux Mint. The other day, he wanted to play...

If that works I’m de installing Windows

It may seem petty, but I actually really like Genshin (and Honkai: Star Rail for that matter), and I had Windows already there, anyway

EDIT AreWeAntiCheatYet confirms Genshin should work:
Heroic Launcher showing Genshin should work

Though they confirm Honkai: Star Rail is broken:
Heroic Launcher showing Star Rail shouldn’t work

lord_ryvan,

And Genshin’s launcher needs to be told to install under C:\Program Files instead of that Z: drive, it’s installing!

Too bad about Star Rail, though.

I guess the 60 GiB monolith of a Windows installation has exactly one function, now.

lord_ryvan, (edited )

I will believe the Linux community has some anime fans

lord_ryvan, (edited )

Okay, happily Genshin is working fine for me! Honkai SR doesn’t, indeed.

lord_ryvan,

That sounds stressful

lord_ryvan,

People are often so worried I’m pushing back hard and damaging my joints. So I let them push a finger back softly, then they’re shocked how easy it is, but no longer worried about my joints! 😁

lord_ryvan,

I could do that on Windows, too. Piracy os equally possible on both

lord_ryvan,

i7, and honestly still a ridiculously powerful one

I’m still rocking my 4790K with an AMD 7600XT, the videocard is more often the bottleneck to heavy tasks than that CPU is.

lord_ryvan,

TBF the whole PC was apparently only about 1100, not a budget PC in my book but a far cry from expensive

Is there a website that collects Donald Trump's most incoherent speeches and tweets?

Sorry if this is the wrong community for this. I’m looking for a compilation of Trump’s most rambling moments (e.g., “Look, having nuclear”; Gettysburg being beautiful; etc.). Does anyone know of any sites that would have something like this? Thank you!

lord_ryvan,

I mean I replaced your google adsense of whatever link with the direct YouTube link. No URI tracking, faster too!

What is something you can’t live without, technology wise that saves you time?

I have to say it’s my virtual assistant I’ve made. It saves me a lot of time with making reminders and such alarms for meetings or interviews, music etc.

@asklemmy

lord_ryvan,

Indoor plumbing wins all of them for me, for one my washing machine wouldn’t be worth it without, and for another it’d be hard to access clean water to rinse wounds and drink medicine.

lord_ryvan,
