The Linux Thread - The Autist's OS of Choice

[Slav Power]

White-knighting for the honor of a, uhh, literal demon is an interesting choice.

Anubis would never guide this troon's soul into the Duat. The heart would be so heavy it would fall off the scale.

This troon is also a FFXIV addict, that game has such a large # of troons.

The real "sin" here is that it wasn't some form of furfaggotry with that name.

I just assumed it was inspired by the Monster Girl Encylopedia Anubis that's popular with coomers on 4chan.

Do you consneed?

I find this one of the most insufferable web pages to read. Every once in a while, I see an interesting technical headline that links to that page and I don't notice before I click. For some reason, there's like these "comic intermissions" periodically on the page where various fursonas(?), alternate personalities(?) weigh in:


I find that style of writing extremely annoying, and it seems like a relatively unique way to display content. I don't know why it irritates me so, but it does.

I've seen that sort of thing frequently with Japanese blogs and web pages. Where they want to present some information to the reader, and instead of just writing about it directly from the writer's perspective, it's written as a dialogue between two characters discussing the topic. Usually with a more knowledgeable straight man who acts like a guide and a more emotive character who reacts to the information and asks questions that move the topic forward.

But it's usually something done for the entire article, not just random intermissions in what would otherwise be a normal article. And it's usually done with cute mascots or Touhou characters or something and not gay fursonas.

[俺たちファームズでノッテる]

I had to double check if this was the ff14 thread. Anyways there's always weird faggots in every facet of life. This seems no different but of course funny haha.

I've had the same happen to me as well. The way he does it is completely obnoxious.

I've seen a similar style in another blog but done significantly better, as the character was just used as a reader insert and not because his genderspecial fursonas need to be on every page. Still autistic but does not inflict disgust.

Edit: I'm late and gay

Is there an archive manager that just fucking works? I am using EndeavourOS and file-roller has been updated and improved by removing the drag and drop to extract feature. Insert "use case for drag and drop to extract" meme here.
I switched to xarchiver for some time but this too fails to extract by drag and drop 80% of the time. I am very close to just extracting stuff by terminal at this point.

Ark (the KDE archive manager) works great, however if you don't currently use any KDE programs it will pull in about half of KDE as dependencies, which you may not want.
When I use Xfce, I tend to use Engrampa as a more minimal alternative, which actually works, unlike xarchiver.
I would give both a try and see which one you prefer.

tar, and zip/unzip if you need to deal with .zip files

Engrampa seems to work fine. Thanks!

Appearantly somone has been trying to ddos down gnus site for a while.

That's not the main topic of the video it seems but that's the thing in this that interested me. Well that and then bashing trannyware.

this project looks really interesting. i've been sitting on domains for a personal website for quite some time, but im always concerned any files i host will get mass downloaded by bots and pages spammed by web crawlers. kind of wonder if this project would mitigate that, maybe i'm misunderstanding.

Ark (the KDE archive manager) works great

i have had ark regularly break .rar, .7z, and .zip support. maybe its just my fault for using stable distros, specifically kubuntu.

Engrampa as a more minimal alternative, which actually works,

i started using engrampa 2 months ago and it is the best archiving tool i've ever used on linux.

IT blog or a fourth grader's Tumblr post? Bet some people would get confused if you took out all tech-related jargon. Just bring back infrequent shitty puns or wizard analogies already, fucking please.

Looks like this "Wayback" project by Alpine Linux is now hosted on Freedesktop's Gitlab instance. Really makes me want to be the fly on the wall of whatever the fuck was talked about.

It's an interesting project, but moving to that over xlibre is pretty retarded if you ask me.

Unless someone knows of an actual technical reason to ever pick that over an actual xorg server. I have a feeling it's not for technical reasons. But hey i could be wrong. And I'm not even someone overly hung up on the xorg being killed thing.

 

[teriyakiburns]

I have a feeling it's not for technical reasons.

Your feeling is correct. The only reason this project exists is to try and fuck over xlibre. It was announced by "Ariadne" after he threw a bitchfit about xlibre, only to almost immediately abandon it to "the community".

I'm here to reveal my thoughts based on my limited experiences with Linux and I want you to correct the record if I am wrong.

In many ways, management of program installation is just superior on Windows.

• You want install program on another drive? No problem!
• You are in need to have two, or more different versions of same program installed on your system? No problem!
• You dont have internet? Here's hoarded installers you have on your thumb drive!

Btw, it's mind boggling for me how such things as dependency hell has been allowed to exist at all. Why cant you allow two versions of same package to exist in the system.

Again, I may be completely wrong and misinformed, would be glad if you'll correct me.

 

[analrapist]

Why cant you allow two versions of same package to exist in the system.

This is an artifact of (generally older) poorly architected distroes. Gentoo has an elaborate system for keeping multiple versions around. Nix/Guix have the most well-architected solution where countless versions exist simultaneously. Snaps and Flatpaks also make multiple versions straightforward.
