The trick is to

dump your personal files into a seperate, non OS hard drive so that if shit hits the bricks, you have a parachute.

Ask me how I know.

doesn’t even have to be atomic, I rescued my wife’s shit laptop using Ubuntu Mate (snaps booing in background) and she has never seen the command line unless I open it. It’s been like that for over a year at least.

Part of why DS9 was able to do the wild things that it did was because the writing team had minimal supervision and were allowed to go buckwild

This does explain the high highs and the low lows.

Ironically, my definition of “the high highs” would be the lighter “hang out on the space station” episodes, and the “low lows” would be the grittier “Section 31 has let us bomb the shit out of civillians, go Prophet! Praise the gods! wormhole aliens!” which I assume is the stuff that people praise for “realism and moral choices”.

!! basically pastes the last … action you took as an interaction with the shell. it’s the same as pressing the up arrow, and putting whatever you want in the same position relative to the !!

Yeah, I’m with you. I fucked up my Deb install because I strayed from “doing things the debian way” and overtinkering with things I wasn’t meant to do.

But compared to other distros, debian feels like a bomb bunker; once you set it up, it’s going to stay set up.

They’re blindly doing it either way. I understand and want GUIs as well, but dumping commands into terminal is starting to seem easier than “go here click this, now click that”

Look honey , it’s the HugeNerdosaurus

So? I want to see the T rex!

Absolutely, when they finally fucking have the things snap in place it’s awesome.

use the C programming book that came with your socks to do it yourself. … although some weebs might have already?

Hey Look, it’s me! I am on nobara against my fucking will. I spent all saturday screaming.

I’m going to refer the shit out of this thread in my news battle to get my goddamn debian OS back. DNF is scary and I can’t use signal.

Here’s my notes (WARNING: THESE NOTES LEAD TO FAILURE) :

   I DID ACTUALL RUN THE FOLLOWING

   Post-installation steps for Trixie

    Optionally verify the result of the DKMS module compilation:

    # dkms status

    If you plan to use wayland (which is a default for both the Gnome and KDE Plasma desktops since Debian 12 "Bookworm") make sure to follow the Wayland Modesetting notes below.

        If gnome starts with X11, you may enable wayland support by enabling NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 as mentioned below.

        If you plan to use suspend/hibernate functionality under KDE desktop environment, you may want to add another option to avoid graphics "glitches" after wakeup/restore:
        Warning: skip this step if you have Optimus hybrid graphics

        # echo "options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-options.conf

    In most cases a restart of the system is recommended to fully load the new driver. For wayland, check again if modeset is properly set, as described above.

i’d have blocked steve jobs from visiting xerox PARC.

just fucking get any business major to fund Woz and call it a day. Or spike that prick’s LSD before he can do any damage

She’s financially stable, has a career and money so she doesn’t bitch about finances. She always covered the bill on our dates and even paid on my behalf for overseas trips together.

1. Renter pays money to landlady
2. Landlady takes Renter out to lunch
3. Landlady : “Don’t worry, I got this”
4. Landlady pays for lunch using money paid by renter
5. ???
6. Kudos

that doesn’t seem to be the same thing, I skimmed most of the article, but that speech is about restricting what hardware can do , not making hardware unavailable to general people so that we become dependent on “cloud computing”

Great work, but I just want to share the stupid comment of

“Looks like a cup of internet”
