  • Also, you don’t actually press with a French press. The French have lied to us. You just let set down on top of the water to keep the heat otherwise, especially with more coffee, you’ll make more bitter than it should be.

    Also they forgot about the conversation starterthat’ll make you liked by all around every time you repeat it with “you know it’s just better this way. The filter catches tanen’s and changes them so much you know it’smore environmentally friendly andhonestlyeasiertocleanandtakecareofwhyhaventyoutriedityetIsentthelisticlethreetimesforbegginerfrenchpressespleaseimsolinely”




  • Well buddy it’s a bit more than that. Personally, I’m not holding it against the guy maybe he’s changed so I’m not gonna freak every time I see him but pretending that’s it is wild.

    The man in anger called some guy the n-word. No joke to it. Straight up, I’m angry so I’ll call this guy a racial slur. This, along with the constant (and it was constant) skirting with racism and Hitler which were framed as jokes made it clear that it wasn’t just a bunch of jokes. Wearing a military uniform that was as close to the Nazis as possible, constant talk of a final solution, jokes about ‘them’, German speaches, zieg heils, dog whistles, and alot more were commonplace in his videos at the time.

    You don’t just randomly shout the n word in anger for the first time on live stream.

    The guy was obviously going down the pipeline and people still don’t like him because of that. Not one joke but a constant stream of them along with a very telling instance


  • Huh, odd you can’t edit that file. You may be able to change it in the ‘menu editor’ (KMenuEdit) application however which is my goto. In the future I’d add any application specific environment variables in there instead of editing it the way you’ve done. This is likely causing issue. I could be wrong though.

    As for where is it stored, it’s usually stored in that .desktop file. It won’t be in your bashrc, or anything like it, as what you’ve done isn’t changing your system as a whole. All it does is tell plasma when you want to launch this application, first run that bit of code you’ve given in the same bash context (or whatever your default shell is. The shell that runs when you use the sh command normally). This is good because I doubt you want all GDK apps to use x11 and this environment variable should only exist for the app you want it to.

    Edit: wait, what .desktop filedid you edit? Are all GTK apps now x11? Have you tried the right click method you did before? To what effect?


  • Yoo that’s wild man doing gods (Richard Stallman) work here man.

    Great initiative nonetheless. Compared to 8 this much more secure and for programming it’s a great choice too. Bringing more life out of some old PCs, saving a school money, and forcing some kids to get creative in order to play Roblox.

    As for is it ready fr this application, programming, it has been for a while. For general, especially web based, applications it absolutely is. Of course, there are quite few things were it’s just not but for the most part Linux is a great choice.





  • That vote increases funding to the area for progressive outreach and causes. You won’t change the entire province with a wole new order but you are part of showing that Alberta isn’t a lost cause to the left.

    Seriously, this shows left wing lobbiests, charities, politicians, etc. That they can do something in the province. In the end all it may mean is easier access to insulin pumps or less cuts to medical services but that definitly matters.

    It’s easy to look at the big picture and grow hostile but your vote does matter.


  • Yeah that’s exactly what I thought would happen. Come in here thinking “of course, people will find a way to blame the NDP here instead of the liberals” instantly proved right.

    NDP incumbent beaten by people moving to liberals? Those NDP voters, who still had more than the liberals, should’ve voted libral. Green voters move to the Librals against the incombant? Nah, those dastardly NDP caused this. Cons win by a landslide? Somehow, you guessed it, NDPs fault





  • Strong preference to the left. The one on the right I never know where to look. Way too busy and I always miss what I’m looking for at a glance. Searching and searching every time sucks shit. On the left, it’s just a list. My overworked brain can handle that easily. Also, I prefer more angular designs over the bubbly pattern that’s so common today. Lastly, when it’s always there it’s easier for my brain to know where things generally are spatially.

    Of course, the left one does waste a good amount of space breaking from a more minimalist idea. You don’t need a menu when you’re already in the settings view you need. Benefits to both, negatives too. I prefer the left version.

    Lastly, I do disagree with the idea that MacOS was doing a “form over function” as the function is clear. It’s a waste of space and, usually, mind function to put things that are un-needed in front of the user at times they don’t need them. MacOS Strives to lower the amount of visual overhead given at all times allowing you to focus on exactly what you’re doing without the rest of the UI in your way.

    I don’t like it aesthetically as though I like minimal design I find taken to the extreme it can be too boring but it absolutely has a function.





  • Oh hey, been a bit but I’m glad you came back to this. I honestly really liked the book. Very rushed ending though I’d argue. I like a lot of what they did with the mercenaries and with nightblood along with the general lore. Everything with lightsong and blushweaver was great too but at times the book dwadled around and when it came to it, answers seemed to just be tossed together and regirgatated (can’t spell that shit). Lightning always kept me entertained though.

    I know that’s a lot of complaining but other than the end the book was very good. It is his style to have everythingfall together at the end it seems but the other four books I’ve read by him seem much more-like a bunch of pieces falling into place and a few things blowing up spectacularly than this one which felt like “and then it turned out some people are bad and the others are good. Here’s why it all happened and some lore too. They also fight. But wait? Happily ever after too.”

    I don’t regret reading it at all though. All three stories were great in their own right and the world is certainly my favourite. The system is so interesting along with the culture. I hope he revisits it.

    God, sorry for the novella, but you did make the mistake of asking me about a book. You fool.

    Took a break but now I’m 400 pages into way of kings BTW. Liking it a lot so far.


  • Product iteration is slow and it’s very likely that these things coming out now (the 12 in specific) were in the pipeline before the 16 released.

    Yeah, I agree, something to do with the 16 should have been given in this release. I disagree wholly with the idea of creating two new skews before making true the implicit promises of the 16 (upgradability, interchangeability, and a 240 watt charger. Though, no charger like that exists for USB-C yet from anyone so that ones a bit more understandable)

    The PC I personally assume was them being pressured by investors to do something “AI”. That’s a real thing that as a web dev I’ve been seeing like crazy. Investors are pushing absurdly hard for something AI. This, likely, was the quickest to ship product they could hold up to satiate the beast.

    Yeah, it is disapointing. Understandable though and I personally didn’t expect an upgrade any time soon myself but it’s a slap in the face for the 16 buyers and concerning to say the least. If the 16 fails to deliver on a laptop with an upgradable dGPU, it’ll be another on a very long list.
