The Universal Operating System
Jump
Ephera @lemmy.ml 23m ago
Python without UV/Conda is always somewhat of a pain on Linux, well, if you need a specific version that is. It comes pre-installed on virtually all distros, because the distros use it themselves to script stuff in the OS. That also means, if you install a different Python version OS-wide, you can break those OS scripts.
Admittedly, it is somewhat of a larger pain on Debian, though, because it will stay behind on older Python versions for longer than most other distros. After the Python 2→3 transition, they also continued to alias python to python2 for quite some years (I'm actually not sure, if they alias to python3 by now)...

The Universal Operating System

Yeah, I mean Cinnamon matches what Windows does really quite closely, down to even the default keyboard shortcuts being virtually the same.

KDE doesn't match it quite as closely, but it's just power-user heaven...

Native Linux VST plugin directory

Jump

Ephera @lemmy.ml 3h ago

For those unfamiliar with music production: VSTs are basically plugins you can use in music production software (more specifically in "Digital Audio Workstation" software, DAW).

Except they're also not really plugins, because they're actually full-fledged programs, into which an audio stream is fed and then they run arbitrary code to ~~ransom your files~~ transform that audio stream. Well, and typically also to display a UI with knobs to control how the effect should sound like. Those pictures on that webpage are screenshots of their UI.

As a result, most VSTs are basically just bundled EXE files. You can often run them through WINE, but many people use dozens of these VSTs and may even pay money for them, so you really don't want to have to worry about them not working under Linux.

Hab's auch mal noch so "erklärt" gesehen, dass wir Menschen geschichteten Teig geil finden. Und im Grunde ist Pasta immer das. Bei Lasagne machst du die Schichten von Hand. Bei Fusilli und Co. geht halt die Soße rein und du hast automatisch Schichten. Und bei Spaghetti entstehen die Schichten eben durch das Aufrollen.

Ja, zu einem gewissen Grad, sind da auch Schichten dabei wenn man sie zerbricht und dann mit einem Löffel abschöpft, aber in der Regel hast du eben so einen Schluck Soße unten im Löffel und viel weniger Soße zwischen den Teigschichten. Ist also einfach nicht so gut geschichtet und schmeckt deshalb auch nicht so gut.

Ich hab mir irgendwann so 10 Canvas-Taschen besorgt. Die kann man im Zweifelsfall alle im Rucksack mitführen. Damit ist Volumen kein Problem mehr, nur noch Gewicht...

why?

Jump

Ephera @lemmy.ml 15h ago

One time, I was staring at a piece of code for a solid 10 minutes or so, and could not understand why it gave me a compile error.So, I ask the senior for help, start explaining what I've been trying to do, scroll down to show some other code snippet, scroll back up and the compile error was gone. My IDE simply had not re-rendered properly. I have rarely sweared as much as in that moment.

Is there a Chromecast equivalent?

Jump

Ephera @lemmy.ml 1d ago

This is a somewhat hacky solution, but I've set up a thing in the past, where I would share a URL to my desktop via KDE Connect. And then on my desktop, I configured the default browser to be a script that I wrote.This script would check, if the URL is a YouTube URL, and if so then open it via MPV (with yt-dlp also installed on the system).If not, then just open it in Firefox as normal.

Erklärung für die 2½ nicht-ITler: poweroff ist ein Befehl, um den PC herunterzufahren. Das "Connection terminated by remote host" bekommt man, wenn man den Befehl stattdessen aus Versehen auf einem PC ausführt, auf den man gerade remote verbunden ist (via "SSH"). Das ist oftmals ziemlich problematisch, weil dann u.U. jemand physikalisch zu dem Rechner laufen muss, um den An-Schalter zu drücken.

What's the deal with these slop-y Linux tutorial "blogs"?

I have heard before that you can just add it to uBlock Origin, yeah.

True story that might have happened today

Jump

Ephera @lemmy.ml 1d ago

That's really not a good sign, though. A review process to check for basic sanity is just a bandaid fix for a lack of discipline, which ultimately requires more work to be done. So, the person that asked the magic pattern machine should review that code, as they should be deeper into the context of what needs to be done, and they know which parts of the code were generated and which parts they actually logically thought about.

How to say "John" in Europe

I enjoy Ghjuvanni. You'd think that consonant salad would come from Wales or Finnland or Hungary or such, but nope, leave that one up to Corsica. 🙃

How to say "John" in Europe

Jump

Ephera @lemmy.ml 1d ago

I'm guessing, it's not trying to find the closest commonly used names in each country, but rather just names which have the same etymological roots as John, while being sort of "at home" in those specific countries. So, it might be that you guys later imported Jon and John from England, for example. But I am just spitballing that last part. 😅

The state of Linux music players in 2026

Jump

Ephera @lemmy.ml 1d ago

Yeah, I did not expect them to do that title justice, because how in the hell could anyone try 200 music players, but how did they get down to 7 and somehow skip some of the most popular players...? Did all of those somehow look broken on their setup? 🫠

Ist in dem Fall, glaube ich, tatsächlich ein traditionell implementierter Algorithmus. Also in ihrem Style Guide für Englisch steht z.B. drin, dass das erste und das letzte Wort mit Großbuchstaben beginnen sollen (mit ein paar Ausnahmen). Was vermutlich für englische Song-Titel irgendwie zufällig richtig ist...? Aber ja, im Deutschen kommen dann Substantive dazu, die auch mal mittendrin groß geschrieben werden wollen, und dann eben keine Chance mehr...

My Linux distro tierlist

I enjoy this comment. I don't even know, if I'd rank NixOS as S-tier in general, but because I can handle it, yeah, don't really have a reason to bother with other distros...

I mean, NixOS has lots of weird "defaults" in that sense, too. 🙃
