they use gimp at the library system where I live and the name is upsetting to the library workers who have to use it without knowing the entire backstory of GNU, how lennart got us in this mess, etc. this is the kind of workplace where everyone has to participate in various cultural sensitivity trainings regularly, so I can see how it would be jarring.

https://twitter.com/migueldeicaza/status/1382502870851936266?s=20 They’re already taking about replacing GNU user land with BSD. It’s funny that they somehow let FreeBSD languish as they pumped money into the Linux project, which they will turn into a worse BSD that’s like 20% proprietary binary blobs.

Sapozhnik posted:idk i haven't really had any such problems despite having gone out of my way to break things with prerelease software I made the mistake of trying to use fedora on my only computer at the time because I thought it would be more reliable than arch, which was doing some annoying thing about printing. turns out systemd-resolved doesn’t play nice with f5vpn, which I had to use for work. you also have to edit configuration files to point to URLs for older versions because a lot of the software is packaged not for whatever version you have installed but something like three versions earlier. and then they just keep changing poo poo every six months in a way you have no control over. LENNART! anyway. electron people are like “this is a godsend for productivity. here’s my implementation of dd. if you don’t like it you probably have some growing up to do.”

just send it SIGINFO, bing bong so simple since FreeBSD 1.0 in 1991, probably even decades earlier https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=dd&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=FreeBSD+1.0-RELEASE&arch=default&format=html posted:If dd receives a SIGINFO (see the ``status'' argument for stty(1)) signal, the current input and output block counts will be written to standard error in the same format as the standard completion message. If dd receives a SIGINT signal, the current input and output block counts will be written to standard error in the same format as the standard completion message and dd will exit.

it’s kind of a hassle to get these themes working on HDPI, especially if you’re trying to use multiple monitors with different resolutions (and the pixel graphics scale horribly). I have an rpi attached to a 1080p monitor with no scaling and it’s really chill to use. also, because web browsers only support a few tabs before slowing down, I get less distracted and can focus on some real computer poo poo, like configuring Xresources. its the closest I’ve been able to get to the time I really liked computers. Best Bi Geek Squid posted:tfw when linuxers unironically defend using vim in 2021 while also complaining that windows 10 is too hard to understand I’m embarrassed to say this but I’ve mained BSD and Linux for more than 20 years and never had any reason to use an editor that wasn’t nano or a graphical one (scite, later sublime). I knew how to delete lines and insert them in standard vi (nvi on bsd iirc) in order to configure FreeBSD but it took me until this year to learn vim, which has been pretty useful to know in my day job where I’d just use nano (or copy a binary of micro over scp). mawarannahr fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Sep 15, 2021 |

lmao @ JavaScript anywheee also does the new sublime kind of suck or what? AUR helpfully upgraded me to v4, which I have not bought a license for, and I really don’t think it’s worth the money if you’ve already got 3. it seems buggy and starts slower, which is not what I want my general scrawlspace/personal pastebin.

lmaoquote:The whole idea is retarded. The word blacklist never had anything to do with race, and just because some people are dumb enough to be offended by it doesn't mean those people get to demand from other people to change the way they speak. This is the same kind of reasoning that went on in socialist East Germany when they decided they would no longer use the word Führerschein (driving license), because it contains the word Führer.

I want to be able to sit down and say “this is Unix. I know this” and have the tomes of manuals I read autistically to have relevance. I used to read the x11 manuals too (a big part of why I dislike wayland, probably ) there’s nothing comparable anymore and the way things fit together don’t make sense. it’s dissonant with my idea of unix history and convention, which seemed pretty great to me. things change too fast now and it’s mostly just red hat winging it. freebsd 5.x felt like a home — linux feels like an airbnb. I don’t like it because I don’t like it and the mental structures I built around BSD are increasingly irrelevant yet aren’t replaced by anything that makes my life better at all. it’s complicated in places I don’t need it to be complicated, and oversimplified in places i want more control. similar with how python took over everything when smalltalk, which actually makes sense and had nice books, was right there (io would have made a good replacement that works better with the Unix model). good books are important to my computing experience. now there’s just terrible man pages, README.md, and web tutorials. i know it sounds like a joke but im serious about unix as a way of structuring the space inside a computer — i knew the building layout, how the furnace worked, how to replace the fuse and so on, and there were good blueprints and product manuals. i feel kind of lost now and need to go to (lovely) docs a lot more because i don’t know how to memorize the new stuff, it doesn’t mesh well with the old knowledge. gently caress esr, cathedrals all the way. mawarannahr fucked around with this message at 23:53 on Oct 29, 2021 |

Progressive JPEG posted:i mean even lenovo, who are probably still selling models with vga ports to this day, have usbc power I’ve had awful luck with the USB-C/TB ports in my T480, which has given me more problems than any computer I’ve ever had. they were replaced twice and now the main one for power stopped working again, and I’m out of the extended warranty. they’re really weak and the cable tends to fall out with the slightest budge (cable brand doesn’t matter). based on that and awful thunderbird firmware issues, I will never buy or recommend a thinkpad to anyone. I’m waiting for this to die so I can get a MacBook or maybe an XPS (which I had before and enjoyed, but 4GB ram was no longer needs suiting)
