I really really struggle taking posts like this serious. It’s a screenshot of a YouTube-preview that has a clickbaity title and shows me a very badly done ai-rendering of George Lucas.

I kinda like George Lucas. He’s not perfect. he created a few really great films that might be considered slightly “woke” compared to the times they were created in. He mostly keeps out of the spotlight these days and only from time to time tells people who don’t want to listen that - “yes, the storm troopers are definitely named after the nazis” and “yes, of course the rebels are like the viet cong (pretty embarrassing for you that i had to spell it out for ya, isn’t it?)”.

In my mind he keeps in his lane and hasn’t become convinced that his success from yestertimes is making him a much needed voice in all kinds of modern political discussions that definitely needs to add their two cents from time to time to allthefuckingtime.

No Rolkercoster Tycoon???

they’re objectifying their own children by seeing them as the means to fulfill some weird ideological goal. Reading their kids names definitely adds proof to that. Who names their child “Industry Americus”??? WTF? They sound like product releases from some weird Silicon Valley company.

I have no idea how to fix the problem, but I’ve read somewhere that burn (a relatively new machine learning framework in Rust) is capable of loading models like stable diffusion. As Burn is built with webGPU and all the shader transpiler-stuff that comes with it doesn’t that mean that it can also run easily on (even older) AMD cards? I think what’s lacking is equal performance as nvidia drivers are heavily optimized already.

Maybe someone knows more here?

what does “rootfull” mean?

I saw it three times in the cinema. At one time in my live I saw a movie two times at the cinema. Every other time i only saw a movie once. Bladerunner 2049 is so good. For about 4 years before it came out i was really angry that Hollywood would commit this sacrilege and make a sequel - why?! - they would definitely fuck it up! But then when it came out i was surprised that some people actually said that it was good.

it blew me away. For now about 6 and a half years that picture of K walking into that orange void has been my desktop background.

Glad that isn’t Rust code or the pass by value function wouldn’t be very nice.

wat? you cannot buy the phone and then choose the provider yourself?

It’s been a while since i used fedora but last i remember dnf was awe fully slow compared to pacman. In fact so slow that i was wondering if there was some kind of bug somewhere. Glad this is being addressed. Fedora is imho the best distribution to get someone to use Linux for the first time. It works so well.

Where would you have to touch internals in zed? In reality would you have to come into contact with rust when using Zed? If it works it wouldn’t be apparent what it was build with, wouldn’t it?

present… yet until i can toy around with zed in Linux

I had this idea of putting construction foam into the exhaust.

Oh, i have a brilliant one:

A few years ago i spent a lot of time converting .flac-files into .ogg-files in order to put on my oldschool iPod. As I did a lot of repetitive typing - entering $dir / for file in flac ; do convert etc / mkdir -p $somewhere/$artist/$album / mv $somewhere/.ogg->$new_dir/ and so on - I thought: “hm lets just write a loop over loops for all the artists here and then all the albums and at the same time create the nested directories somewhere else… hm actually in the home directory… and later love everything on the iPod at once.”

so i was in my music folder with the artists-folders i wanted to convert. i did something wrong

So i did my complicated script directly in the shell. I made something wrong and instead of creating a folder “~/artist/album” I created 3 folders in my current working directory: “~”, “artist” and “album”. hmph dammit gotta try again… but first : i have to clean up these useless folders in the current dir. so i type of course this: "$ rm -r ~ artist album " after about 5 seconds of wondering why it took so long i realized my error. o_O I stopped the running command, but it was (of course) too late and i bricked my current installation. All the half-deleted config files made or impossible to start normally and extremely tedious to repair it by hand, so i reinstalled.

only if you don’t have to clean it up later. Nobody can pee standing up without making a mess. if you think you can you’ve never cleaned your toilet yourself.

I also usw Arch (,btw).

But lately I thpught about checking out nix for a change. I’ve heard some good things about it, but didn’t dare use it.

I feel like nix is kinda like the new arch in a way. Is that true?

hopefully circumstances worsen quickly enough that it’ll be noticable for everybody so that the general public can clearly identify it as a direct consequence of this maniac being elected. If its deteriorating too slowly people might just not notice it as much and might go along with all the coming explanations ( probably immigrants, leftists, blahblah). If there’s a quick look into the abyss people might wake up and get into action.

One could ask in return “why do you use a mouse”. The answer is probably “I’ve always done it this way” and not “after trying out different methods it’s the one that i prefer”.

I also really liked their album “Affinity” which has this unusual mix of progressive metal and 80s anime-intro-songs. Great album!

In my mind there would still exist an Alt+Tab-Overlay that would enable me to switch between programs independent of their position.

That would be possible of course, and I like it. But in my mind this would be reserved for special functions only as it can quickly become gimmicky. (Think these early 2000s rotating cube-workspaces and so on :-) )

A usecase could be that a lock-screen would be further away and locking out would move towards it. Or even turning the view in a different direction?
