acockworkorange,

You don’t need 144 Hz and GSync. Waves hand in Jedi mind trick style.

acockworkorange,

Nazi doctors found out a lot about the human body by torturing them and/or treating them inhumanely.

That is a myth. The documentation left behind by them had little to no scientific rigor, and basically nothing of value was gained from it. The situation was even worse on the Japanese side, where even the visiting nazis thought they were going too far and, again, nothing of value was gained.

acockworkorange,

Netanyahu SLAMS ICC!

acockworkorange,

I’d also add that this Lemmy community is a good forum too. Welcome home!

acockworkorange,

That it is. In GUI, you’re working for the computer to achieve your goals. At the CLI, you invest time teaching the computer what you want done, and it works for you.

acockworkorange,

*pester? Pose?

acockworkorange,

I aim to please.

acockworkorange,

Theoretically. I don’t think it’s even technically possible.

acockworkorange,

Touché.

acockworkorange,

Back in my day, you had Debian, Red Hat, and Slackware. You’d pick one of the the three and you’d like it! Kids these days are spoiled.

acockworkorange,

And to preempt the question: direct rendering manager predates digital rights management.

acockworkorange,

They’re

acockworkorange,

No need to be so touchy about it. Lots of people are learning English as a second language and appreciate the corrections. Like me.

acockworkorange,

Also a chainsaw cuts chains, while a sawzall isn’t called a sawzmost.

acockworkorange,

Aliases to common commands so it gets automatically formatted.

Decision of Next Os

I was Nobara user, then I am using Fedora right now. I want to use things like Hyprland etc. and ya know, Its damn cool to say I am using arch btw. So I’ve decided to use Arch Linux. But everyone says its always breaking and gives problems. That’s because of users, not OS… right? I love to deal with problems but I don’t...

acockworkorange,

Reject Nobara, go Capybara.

acockworkorange,

They’re

acockworkorange,

Get a cheap USB hub? Other than fixing grub, that is.

acockworkorange,

A refinery has a tank with millions of liters of gasoline. It already has the bomb. All you really need is a penetrator and an igniter.

acockworkorange,

You… got a source for that?

acockworkorange,

Fifteen here. Underground tanks are not that common. They are a maintenance and environmental nightmare. But it would be nice if you could provide with any evidence other than “trust me bro”.

acockworkorange,

So all you need to do to build a tank is to move your entire facility to where natural geology favors not building a tank?

That still says nothing about the prevalence of above ground vs underground tanks.

acockworkorange,

Man, now you’re just moving goalposts. Did they blow up a refinery or whatever you’re cooking up in your head? It’s clear you’re not having an honest discourse here. Goodbye.

acockworkorange,

We are not stuck to DEC VT100 terminals anymore. It’s okay to have 100 columns of code. And wasting 10% of that space for each indentation? What are you smoking?

acockworkorange,

You had me rolling, bud.

acockworkorange,

If a company with some resources makes a good Debian unstable based distro with a decent release cycle (could even be yearly), they’ll dominate the desktop market.

acockworkorange,

Damn you’re dense.

Testing if VRR is active and working

I recently updated to fedora 40 and enabled the experimental setting to get VRR running. But I am an idiot who has been playing at frames rates between 30-60 on screens without VRR for almost all of my life so I can’t even know if VRR is actually working or not. Is there some rest I can run to see if VRR is functional¿? If...

acockworkorange,

Supposedly.

acockworkorange,

Harder GPL. Like v3 something.

acockworkorange,

GPL v3 prevents mechanisms that interfere with the ability of the end user to replace the free firmware of a device, like accepting only signed firmwares. It’s an “anti-TiVo” thing. It won’t prevent proprietary drivers, but any device distributed with it must not prevent the user from making their own drivers to replace them.

There isn’t a real solution that would work for user space drivers. At least not yet. But just like GPL v3 rose from TiVo, if this becomes an issue I’m sure the lawyers of FSF will come up with something, and Linus and a lot of other folk will hate it.

acockworkorange,

We’re talking about Redox OS, not Linux.

acockworkorange,

Fuck Japan.

acockworkorange,

Ahem the GIMP Toolkit.

acockworkorange,

They renamed it to GTK, dropping the initialism. It was always intended as a generic toolkit. At least until v4.

acockworkorange,

“… If we continually restrict the freedom of marriage as a legitimate social option, when we do this to people who are a ripe, fertile age and may have a pregnancy and a baby involved, are we not, in fact, making abortion a much more desirable alternative, when marriage might be the right solution for some freedom-loving couples?”

It’s either abortion or marriage, it seems. No other alternative. Also, Freedom loving couples? Never knew hippies to be into traditional marriage. Someone please shut this degenerate up for good.

[SOLVED] I'm cheap and want a Linux keyboard

Thank you everyone for taking time to help out. While looking for keyboards, I’ve found a great deal on a new Keychron C3 Pro at Amazon for around $30. It’s a wired keyboard, but it’s got hot swappable brown switches and I figured there’s no way I’d find something better to dip my toes in this hobby....

acockworkorange,

unless you’re going to use the keyboard on random computers

That’s great! The keyboard is meant to be stationary, indeed.

  • find a physical model to try out

I’d love to, but where? Are there stores that stock them?

replace them with quieter ones.

Hoping to avoid buying something I won’t use, but I’ll keep that in mind.

Thanks a lot for the tips!

acockworkorange,

I don’t have anything off the top of my head because I didn’t dig much into it once I found out they didn’t support Linux or the price was more than I’d like to pay for something that might not suit me. But I am not really looking for something custom.

Trying to find something as an example there’s this Iqunix unit that is interesting (though I’d prefer a more cassette futurism design).

I’m not saying it’s not worth it, it didn’t seem a good fit for me. That was before I learned from Shareni here that I wouldn’t strictly need a VIA unit. The other issue is I had no clue if the noise would be acceptable, or even if it’s a reasonable expectation to have out of a mechanical keyboard to be quiet.

So dropping that money on something that might not fit me in any way is a hard ask. I hope I made myself clear, if not, let me know.

acockworkorange,

Sadly, the closest one is ~5h away. Thanks though.

acockworkorange,

What’s that?

acockworkorange,

So they can have them, they just don’t come prepackaged?

acockworkorange,

You’re not lying. Looks like you either like one of two designs or you somehow have to make it yourself.

acockworkorange,

I’ve linked an image search page for “compose keycap”. I saw some in place of the Super key, right shift, Caps Lock…

acockworkorange,

Thanks! The price difference to a fully assembled one is $15. Wouldn’t it be cheaper to get the assembled one and just change the switches? Or are the stock key caps not worth it?

acockworkorange,

Oh don’t apologize, and thank you for all the tips!

And while we’re at it, I’ve had a hard time finding third party key caps for the Alice layout. Is there a better keyword to search for or are they really rare?

acockworkorange,

Those are grip enhancement surface features.

acockworkorange,

Oh, through the Internet, you mean? Makes sense. Thanks!
