I'd appreciate it if everyone could just stop burning fossil fuels, please. Thank you for your cooperation.

  • You're not really living with as much free software as possible until you've installed all of the 103818 packages in debian.

  • For me it was when we all started having regular Satanic death metal sex parties, the left wing was pretty boring before that.

  • #!/bin/bash # Recursively rename everything in the current directory as necessary # to make it match the case of filenames in Skyrim's "Data" directory,

     
            from=`pwd -P`
        to="${HOME}/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Skyrim_1.5.97/Data"
        tmp="/tmp/skydata_index"
        filez="/tmp/skydata_from"
    
        IFS='
        '
    
        match_case() {
            cd "$2"
            find . | grep -v '^[.]$' > "$tmp"
            cd "$1"
            find . -maxdepth 1 | grep -v '^[.]$' > "$filez"
            for j in `cat $filez`; do
                if ( grep -i "^${j}$" $tmp ); then
                    name=`grep -i "^${j}$" $tmp | head -1`
                    if [ "${name}xx" != "${j}xx" ] ; then
                        mv "$j" "$name"
                    fi
                fi
            done
        
            # going recursiv
            find . -maxdepth 1 -type d | grep -v '^[.]$' > "$filez"
            for j in `cat $filez`; do
                if ( test -d "${2}/${j}" ) ; then

  • Hm, someone claiming to be Vaxry says it's real, it's not April fool's day, the link is to the domain that's on their github page, it's still up however many hours later... well that was unexpected.

  • Would you approve of a seditious conspiracy to destroy the rightful government of the United States of America? Click here to be added to the list.

  • It's okay, everybody relax. I'm here.

  • (Apparently it's Dave Cutler, who wikipedia reminds me is the crazy VMS guy "known for his disdain for Unix." Apologies to both of them.)

  • Is that Donald Knuth? If so, "three guys taking a photo with Donald Knuth" might be a better title.

  • True enough — but for those few who enjoy such things I must point out that debian makes kernel builds very easy to do. When mesa gets too old there will usually be a backport.

  • Come on debian, maybe we can make it back into the top 5 when trixie gets an official release.

  • Paid and freeware but either way non-free, unfortunately.

  • Eraserhead

  • Wow, someone even more devoted to blocking ads than I am. Personally I will just never go back to youtube rather than go through that much debugging.

    The one time my combination of ublock origin, jshelter, noscript set to allow only the scripts that are actually needed, and custom firefox librewolf settings was insufficient to watch youtube I didn't go back for a few days. When I did it was mysteriously back to working.

  • It's the game of Go. Also known as baduk, weiqi, igo. It's a board game known for being pretty old.

  • 🍉

  • autokey — a recent "autohotkey" sort of thing for linux. It comes to mind since I recently had to find a replacement for the one I'd used previously which died of bitrot. Mostly I just use it for app-specific key remapping for Firefox so that I can disable its ^W which I only ever hit accidentally when it was possible.

  • "Judge not convinced by flimsy excuse" doesn't really strike me as worthy of the Onion.

  • GNOME continues its long journey from being the one-time linux standard to a occupying a quirky little niche for masochists and corporate IT departments.
