  • This is the single greatest example I have seen highlighting the problem.

    The poor cannot afford to have things that last, things that allow them to think of the future, and hence are stuck in a cycle of debt in the present to near future time periods.

    However what I don't understand is how the rich get so short sighted when they have both the motivation and resources to plan for long term outcomes. Doesn't make sense.

    Underpaying workers leads to worse productivity and apathy towards your superiors.

    Does the world really have so few resources that the only way to keep number go up is to exploit the less fortunate? When will feudalism truly end?

  • Do we have a source for this or are you just joking?

  • I use yyyy-mm-dd as it allows me to alphabetically sort it and still get it in proper order

  • I pressed ctrl+r on my laptop and the screen got a bit dimmer, had to press esc to make it go away. What to do to pass the verification?

    PS: I am a human, not a robot.

  • Actually good for the developer. He is doing it out of his passion and faith in OSS. What more should we want of him? The dude is already a hero.

    Autopublish assets to the github release section with cargo publish

    Is there any way I can automatically bundle the compiled binary with the current version number as a git tag to github when I do cargo publish like stuff? Like qol thing?

  • Man you recommended the most upvoted book. I guess this is the next one on my list.

  • I thought of reading Dune, but I found out that there is no definite conclusion to the story, and apparently it gets worse over subsequent books. Now I can bear the start to rocky for a brilliant ending, but the reverse I cannot bring myself to... Unanswered unfulfilled stuff will wreck my brain.

    Warhammer is tooooo vast. I like watching YouTube videos on the lore, but thinking of >200 books isn't good for my sanity.

    I will research other ones though. Thank you for recommending.

  • Of all the books you considered standard, I read only hitchhikers (all 5). Tell me more about disc world and Imagica if you can.

    Suggest me some books (Sci fi/Fantasy)

    Fellow bookworms, I am glad to announce that I am at the last book of Cosmere (Yumi and the Nightmare Painter). And then, I will have finished it all. So this is where I need your help. Recommend me some awesome Sci-fi and Fantasy books that you believe will blow away my mind, like the impact needs to be huge, cannot believe this happened type of stuff. Preferred genre are Sci-fi and Fantasy, but if you know some awesome book from other genre, don't hold back, all suggestions are welcome.

    Thank you in advance.

    UPDATE: Piranesi is currently on lead and I am almost finished with Yumi, so that is the next on my list. But don't let that stop the recommendations coming. Eventually all of us are going to run out of recommendations ;)

  • Our king Sir Torvalds has spoken. And hence let there be rust in the kernel

  • I run arch. I use vanilla arch (btw) it's the best. But that's because I am ready to put in the time. Not because it is inherently better.

  • Sooooooooo fucking good. I was massively depressed when I played this for the first time by the great gods I cried at ending man. Me a man of 21 yrs then was bawling like a baby.

    Just pure experience. I can go to war with someone if they say that any AAA game is even close enough.

  • Or... Hear me out... Might be controversial opinion but just try.

    Don't fucking install arch based distros. Just install Mint or Fedora plasma and be done.

    Zero fucking setup after install. The fedora workstation has so much pre installed and configured I cannot explain. Only gripe with fedora is the media codec bullshit because obviously AMERICAN CAPTALISM.

  • I know. That's why the live usbs are a life saver. I really just use the live usb to test everything out.

  • I have a RTX 3050 mobile with Intel cpu laptop. So far... Everything works fine on fedora and arch. I haven't installed Debian based on it however

  • Ohh... No issues. I tried it with the world map 16kx16k image and it worked. My i gpu couldn't handle it but my gpu did open it

  • I can see everyone down voting you to oblivion... And that's sort of fair. But that's beside the point.

    I was having trouble with NVIDIA while using mint early on and decided to switch to Fedora. Maybe try that once. Fedora has better defaults for nvidia.

    Use the KDE Plasma spin btw. See if it works.

  • I don't know why it souldn't. DM me the image so that I can test it

    A dirt simple image viewer

    Tired of bloated image image viewers? Well, I was too and hence I created a dirt simple image viewer. Build from source or get it straight from AUR.

    Want to switch between projects fast or too lazy to cd into the project directory? Now you directly do that from neovim.

    I just distro hopped after using a distro almost a year. Is it normal?

    Hi, I just want to share / get some opinion.

    I started using Linux 2 years back. I was dual booting back then and after a year switched to Linux completely.

    I started out using Ubuntu, hated it, installed Manjaro after a week and when pacmac broke the thing within 2 months, I watched a bunch of YouTube videos, read the arch wiki and installed arch. Things were going great except for some Nvidia issues (I am using an Optimus laptop) but utt was running smoothly. Then decided that I want to build a game engine and the nvidia issues were significant. So I read somewhere that Fedora has great nvidia support and I installed it and everything worked. I installed Fedora 39, and it worked. When Fedora 40 came, I upgraded no issues, Fedora 41 came, no issues.

    But just a few days back when I had vacation, I decided my system was getting bloated and I didn't manually want to uninstall apps, I decided let's format it. But I thought... Arch might take up less space on my disk(1 have a 512gb nvme

    Is integrating yts api "illegal"

    I am the developer of a project with a small community known as Offflix. Now I recently discovered that Yts has an api, and it is too irresistible for me to integrate it into my project as a simple in app click to download any movie.

    So, would doing that and making the code open source be illegal? I am not a US citizen and I am not technically ripping movies, I am just packaging yts's functionality inside my app. Would github flag and destroy me repo if I do this?

    Compilation mode for neovim

    cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/44036825

    I was recently watching a tsoding stream when he was singing huge praises for the compilation mode in emacs, so I created a plug in to do essentially the same thing in neovim. Feel free to test it and share feedback.

    Ebooks library (cross platform)

    cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/36285077

    I have many ebooks I have from scouring the Internet in two formats: epub and PDF. I want something server like that lets me drop read them from any device on my local network and remembers where I left the book on device and let's me continue on another. I want the client app to have android and Linux support while the server should run on linux. Is there anything out there? Bonus points if it autographs metadata from the internet and organises them by topics, authors, ddc etc.

    TLDR: An ebook library running on a Linux server with Android and Linux client software.

    End-rs : A notification daemon for WMs using eww for their widgets

    Hello. I recently created a notification daemon which uses eww widgets for its front-end display. So if you are already using eww, give it a go.

    I know this is a very niche use case, but if a single person finds it useful, I will be glad.

    Is there a specific religious term for the belief "God exists and he is evil"?

    I am not an atheist, I genuinely believe that God exists and he is evil, like a toddler who fries little ants with a lens.

    Offflix - Series manager for your local downloads

    I created this project some years back and the project just reached v1.1.0. I know most people have jellyfin servers and all set up, but if you have just a local folder of all your series saved up, you can use this to remember what you were watching.

    All feedback is welcome. You can also contribute to the project

    I finally nuked windows

    I have been daily driving a dual booted laptop for the past two years. After a year of distro hopping I settled with fedora + kde and never looked back. I really liked the auto nvidia driver config and it made everything so pleasant to work. Since the last 8 or 9 months I decided to do gaming using bottles and proton ge. I cannot afford to buy games and bottles is a God send at that. Now I realized that I had not logged into my windows partition in over 6 months. So I logged in to check and it told me it needs to download 8 gigs of updates. That sent me into rage and so clean installed everything to be fedora. I have 250 gb of storage locked in limbo because of windows( I have a 512 gb ssd so it was a lot) and today after everything was setup, the os took only around 20gb minus the games. Never felt happier.
