don’t know much about Japan today. can u elaborate on how it’s still racist? how does it compare to the US?

🙂 nope, just a few nice pics from the renn fest this year

how did she get this idea into her head in the first place?

one of the worst life ruining decisions a student can make is to rack up student debt, with no means to pay it off after graduation.

look at graduation statistics if they publish it. what is the employment rate and median salary of graduates?

Is the total cost comparable to the median starting salary?

if taking sense into ur daughter isn’t possible, then maybe reason with ur husband based on finances?

wow. how old is she? looks professional

wow. so his “hateful thoughts lead to hateful actions” line lost him his job?

tucker Carlson did so much worse for years and was lauded for it. I guess because it was aligned with the networks priorities…

i wonder if he survived, would he have changed his position on guns?

if the shooting left him in pain for life, would he still be pushing 2A as hard…

he mocked a disabled reporter back in 2016. to anyone else it would have been career ending. but it just made trump more and more powerful. just like the the hot mic, felony convictions, Epstein ties, fraud, etc.

will she be able to collect?

they could make billions monetizing the site in various ways like adding ads, monetizing user data, paywalling, or pushing a political agenda

they made a conscious choice not to.

they’ll get my donation every year whether they’re rolling in it or not. they deserve every penny

IIRC u need mlocate or plocate…

i trust them less that AP but more than most other for profit news platforms. I appreciate that they are fact based and not much “spin” and analysis.

what desktop are you using? on kde/plasma, go to the power settings and it gives you an option to run a script when the battery is connected/disconnected

u can use that to systemctl --user start/stop syncthing

i use syncthing all the time on some 100gb of data. it’s not much of a battery drain. ymmv

I’ve used both and completely agree.

i used fvwm for some 20 years. but when I switched to Wayland, I had to change window managers. I tried gnome first because it was the default on more distributions. works great as long as u use it as is . any customization is hard and needs gnome tweaks or some other extension…

kde plasma was just as light weight and completely configurable

i don’t think having evidence will change anything. there’s a lot of stuff with concrete proof that he got away with…

he has repeatedly violated the hatch act, commited multiple felonies, illegally fired several federal employees, bungled diplomatic relations publicly, funnelled billions of dollars to his family and friends etc .

he got away with it all 🙄

honestly just go on eBay and buy whatever fits your form factor and budget. most modern laptop swill work for you and nonsense paying a premium to get one particular model

oof. no escape key. i bet there are no vi bindings either.

I would love to have content indexing with full text search in files and emails. I used to run namazu / notmuch mail to index it (back when I would fetch it using offlineimap). But sadly my mail lives on an IMAP server now and isn’t searchable locally. And Baloo was simply taking too long to index all my files.

I’m really surprised that an indexed search takes roughly as much time as a directory search. I guess it shows how much the filesystem and tools have evolved… back in the day, a full tree search through even 10GB would be slow and noisy…

Thanks; KDE integration is a big plus. But I haven’t been tagging or rating files … 🙄 so several of these queries are not useful for me. A fuzzy matching based on the whole file name seems to best fit my workflow… and there doesn’t seem to be an option to fuzzy match, or match on the whole path in Baloo.

I was hoping dumping a long list of matches to fzf would give me a performance gain (because of Baloo’s indexing), but right now the performance difference seems negligible.

My images etc. are on a separate partition (300GB, not indexed). I certainly have tonnes of data in .git folders, which fd ignores. But the exclude_folders setting in baloofilerc seems to ignore most of these by default.

I agree metadata and context makes a huge difference. Looking at my work flow, I’ve put all the data I need into the file names 😄. The metadata is borked for most of them cause many were download some 20+ years ago. So I put the author names and title into the filename to make it easy to search…

Unfortunately the full path is ignored by Baloo. There’s main.* file in several folders; the parent folder name is ignored by Baloo search, so I dump all Baloo results to fzf and search there…
