Install touchegg and add it to your startup scripts. It gives you an “apple magic trackpad” like touchpad experience.

I don’t think my Wii disc drive does anything but rip games nowadays, I can’t remember the last time I put in a disc to play the game on there.

You can do the swap trick once to make a freepsxboot memory card now. It’s essentially a soft-modded ps1.

Convenience is a 52x disc burner which can burn a disc in less than a minute

Wisdom is burning at 1x anyway because it results in a higher quality burn

(this may not apply to burning music, I usually burn PSX games)

Bud theres obviously exceptions for massive suites like that. But I’m talking about apps with built in UIs that the dev clearly threw together as a last minute thought. Apps with every single thing you could possibly have to do either burried deep in 10k submenus, or hastily packed onto a window.

All I’m saying is there should be a clear and obvious workflow. Devs shouldn’t be afraid to say “I know better than you, do it this way”. Throwing every single tool on a toolbar like with Office suites or editing suites is awful IMO. Gimme menus, but gimme menus that make sense (looking at you Microsoft)

Anyway, you can disagree with me, and it won’t ever effect you, that’s the beautiful thing about the open software world. My opinions can be total shit, and you get to just ignore them 🥰

Sorry for rambling, I’m losing my mind a little bit more every day 🫡

A lot of devs don’t put much work into planning the flow of their GUI from a user’s perspective and it really shows.

IMHO a UI should offer everything a user can do in a given moment, readily available, nothing hidden behind more than a single menu. If something isn’t currently possible, it shouldn’t be available, and if the dev chooses to make the option visible but unavailable, it should be clearly and visibly marked as something that can be available (grayed out text for example).

I think devs tend to overestimate both the skill of the user, and the usefulness of their UI.

Sometimes I fold my frozen pizza in half like a calzone and eat it like a taco.

That’s no slices.

I would Imagine someone put a bandit sign offering jailbroken firesticks in front of the wrong office building and pissed off someone who can afford lawyers and lobbyists.

Its overused by people who misunderstand the point.

No, there isn’t ethical consumption under capitalism but that doesn’t mean we can stop and consider the actual impact of what we choose to financially support. We can make the choice to reduce negative impact, even if we can’t eliminate it.

Straight to the void where it belongs

A Relatively recent gaming-type setup with local-ai or llama.cpp is what I’d recommend.

I do most of my AI stuff with an rtx3070, but I also have a ryzen 7 3800x with 64gb RAM for heavy models where I don’t so much care how long it takes but need the high parameter count for whatever reason, for example MoE and agentic behavior.

I’m just going Based on the man page I linked. s isn’t listed as a subflag of S so i’ve never thought to use it.

I just checked that again and I’m totally wrong. Disregard me I guess.

Any time I’ve ever used pacman to kill my system, it was my fault, usually because I either didn’t read the news and missed a manual intervention, or because I didn’t read the instructions before doing something. Don’t play fast and loose with root.

Actually tbh, pacman has saved my installations in a chroot environment more than a few times

I’ve been trying to decipher this for a literal day what does this mean?

You wouldn’t do that, its improper syntax. You’d do #pacman -Qs, Query local packages -> Search from within this set.

I love paru, but I think my favorite thing about it is that it isn’t yay.

Back when i started using Arch Yay was mega popular so I tried it. Its great, I loved it, shouldn’t be a surprise I love paru too. But Yay was always my only Go app, so I’d end up installing Golag, which is gigantic, just to use yay.

They S is for Sync. You’re syncing a package from the repos.

What’s wrong with pacman? I love pacman!
