This is making me realize that I have never encountered this equivalent of a blue screen of death on Linux.

Ah that makes much more sense. I think I crossed my wires. You mentioned backing up the Minecraft worlds and so I thought “deduplicated backups… so borg.”

I appreciate your explanation.

Is there a link?

Also, how does this compare to something like Borg?

This is a good workaround, but there is still a bug here. When this setting is unchecked, clicking a gif should make it play. But that functionality is no longer working.

And if you’re wrong, the other shoe just probably hasn’t dropped yet.

I’ve found that alternative reddit frontends bypass this. That and I believe changing the URL to old reddit.

Of course, this will only work until (if?) Reddit is successful in removing old reddit and preventing third party front-end.

Ubuntu/Canonical is the Microsoft of Linux distros. It’s no surprise they were the choice for WSL.

Ubuntu has been forcing decisions on users and embedding advertisements for a long time.

Examples that immediately come to mind…

• When that Amazon search was embedded into the app launcher search.
• These sorts of self promotions.
• Quietly installing snaps instead of debs when using apt install

Losing the Internet Archive would be a huge loss. Unfortunately, greedy companies don’t want us to have nice things.

It’s so ridiculous that this isn’t even brought up:

The Command you provided worked fine. Thank you so much for the help! Really appreciated! We are going to proceed to make a release today and test with customers. Will post the updates here.

Gotta love being a forced beta tester… I mean customer.

I had similar issues. When first booting into plasma6, my bottom panel was changed to floating. Changing it to not float made it spaced from the bottom of the screen.

While trying to fix that, I somehow managed to move the pinned icons all off the panel and onto the desktop, but they were unable to be clicked or moved. I ended up restarting for unrelated reasons and they snapped back to the panel.

I think there were other wonky issues with the edit session, but I don’t recall specifics. Good luck!

Edit: this was on a wayland session with integrated amd graphics.

This is only tangentially related to improving your code directly as you have asked. However, in a similar vein as using source control (git), when using Python learn to manage your environments. Venv, poetry, conda/mamba, etc are tools to look into.

I used to work with mostly scientists, and a good number of them knew some Python, but none of them knew how to properly manage their environments and it was a huge problem. They would often come to me and say “I ran this script a week ago and it worked, I tried it today without making any changes and it’s throwing this error now that I don’t understand.” Every time it was because they accidentally changed their dependencies, using their global python install. It also made it a nightmare to try to revive old code for them, since there was almost no way to know what version of various libraries were used.

Their CEO has gone out of his way to shit talk Linux multiple times on Twitter/X, spreading false information, he is also vehemently against doing the bare minimum to allow their games to work on Linux (enabling EAC support for proton in their games, which by their own words is just a checkbox). They also have no Linux support in their embarrassment of a launcher, which is why everyone recommends Heroic, even when using Windows because it actually has features.

A one time donation of what amounts to an insignificant rounding error for them to try to appease people unhappy with their stance on Linux does not mean they are not “against” Linux.

Additionally, instead of actually trying to compete and gain users but making a platform that isn’t trash, they insist on instead trying to trick users with temporary free game offers. And if that doesn’t work, they try to strong arm users into going to their platform by buying exclusive sales rights to games, bringing exclusives to the PC gaming space.

Their CEO is a loud clown who is always spouting nonsense on Twitter. They buy games studios and rip their games off of the platform where users bought them (see Rocket League), and discontinue mac/Linux versions that were fully functional.

Their flagship game preys on children via micro transactions. They lack so many features on their platform that (I believe) they have endorsed using Steams community features for games bought on Epic.

I could probably go on, but I think that’s probably sufficient.

Completely agree. Steam deck reports on ProtonDB are much more reliable. Using the decky plugin makes checking these really easy too.

I can’t believe they didn’t include the unit. Are we talking 6 small, medium, or large fries? There’s variation on where you get them from too. That could be so many fries!

So he’s definitely (not) dead, right?

Everyone here seeing this: “Wow so sleek, amazing!”

Meanwhile, Mozilla: “Yeah so we’re going to remove compact title bars in favor of touch friendly nonsense. OK. Fine. We will just hide it in about:config until later when we will silently remove it.”

A cryptocurrency miner. It uses your computer to generate currency, which costs you resources (electricity, compute power, etc.).

I found this amusing enough to try it out. It does actually compile (I used g++ for this). However, the current implementation just goes into an infinite loop if you enter a number >= 2.

I think the original author meant to do n -= 1 rn in the tweakin loop that is inside the bussin loop. That way, at some point n % i finna cap will be false, and i will bouta. Which then makes the expression i <= n in the bussin loop eventually false, so we stop bussin and yeet cap rn.

However, that would mean that the intention of the program isn’t to output prime factors, because even with this fix it does not do so. The structure of mf chief() also doesn’t suggest that is the purpose as it is missing another tweakin and sussin like this example of calculating prime factors in C++.

Example run:

$ ./zpp.exe
Enter a number larger than 1: 50
2
7
8
