Yeah, I worked at Walmart for a bit and we were taught to look out for weird situations with gift cards and politely ask what the customer’s plan was. If we thought they were getting scammed, we’d get our manager involved to talk to them

You’ll have to use the PC to interact with things, this is where a lot of people suggest a cheap Bluetooth keyboard with a track pad, or keyboard and mouse.

Assuming you’re using a modern TV, it functions just like a monitor for a computer. A mini PC is the same as a desktop/laptop, just in a little box. So basically you just plug the mini PC in with an HDMI to the TV, install the apps you need on the mini PC and you’re good to go

As the meme points out, Linux attracts the autistic crowd, and there have been some studies done that have found a correlation between autism and being transgender. Namely that people who are autistic tend to care less about gendered norms, and therefore are more likely to explore their own gender

Hyprland is not a DE

I like to pick based off the name of the command I use to evoke the package manager. Currently, I’m enjoying using yay but I’ve been thinking about emerge quite a bit

Edited for pedantic specificity

Man if only there was an option like --sudoloop to ensure that doesn’t happen

They had to stay under the amount that requires them to pay severance, I think it’s 500?

[…] mouse following cat

I think I saw something recently about the cursor getting some tweaks in Wayland, I think KDE was working on it? Not sure if it’ll help this kind of stuff but they’re trying to standardize the cursor a bit better

Admittedly I haven’t looked into too many rust applications but IME they generally don’t have a deb/rpm/binary or whatever. I’ve always had to cargo them in - it’s a relatively painless process. My understanding is that, in a similar fashion to python, you have to have the same dependencies on the source and target machine and cargo handles that in rusts case

I think you misread both the question and how they used ChatGPT Mr Bash Wizard

Makes sense; one of the big things about it that interests me is the dockerfile generation. Although, I should probably get a better understanding of dockerfiles themselves before jumping into that; I have a habit of forgetting the order of carts and horses

I wanna get into Nix but I keep bouncing off the documentation every time I try to study it

Felt

I think this is an ESH situation. Fandom sucks for pushing their poison, Google sucks for drinking it

I’m not entirely sure if it uses Unicode, ASCII or something else…

I think I remember Automate the Boring Stuff with Python explaining that python uses ASCIIbetical order, but it’s been a minute since I read that book

Same here. “Theres a random folder on the USB now but where’s the software to put the ISO in there?”

Now, having used Linux for a some time, it makes sense why it’s just an empty folder. An ISO is just a file, like anything else.

If you already know what you want but want to save time writing it

IME, going to ChatGPT for code usually meant losing time, cause I’d go back and forth trying to get a usable snippet and it would just keep refactoring the same slop that didn’t work in its first attempt
