I had to run this as a sudo, what does it

Wow, almost 18 years old.

This is the tweet.

I wouldn’t know, I’m not hanging out with zoomers as a xennial in his early 40s without kids, but I’m sure their knowledge about phones and stuff is a lot higher than mine. I very rarely use tablets or even my own smartphone, it’s all about the computer for me.
Now, I am learning linux for second* time for the last 14 months, and it has also been humbling.

As an autodidact xennial, I’ll take that as a compliment.

DOS, Windows, all the format C:'s in my time, it’s all been trial and error as you say, because there weren’t really anything on the line in the 90s and early 00s.

I use one of those domed plastic microwave covers that keeps the steam in a bit, that helps - just need a bit of extra moisture like a glass of water or something, so the food doesn’t dry out too much.

The memes haven’t been this good since Bush was in office.

I’m starting to believe that the saying “All roads lead to Rome” might’ve been a warning.

I just updated Epic Games Launcher. BEHOLD:

I get that feeling when I press “report spam” and gmail suggest I “unsubscribe from them”, that that’s exactly what the spammer want, a ping back so they know I’m susceptible, that I’m an engaging fool, and get put on all the lists.

I tried downloading it precompiled and it just complains about needing libsteam_api.so. Gonna see if compiling fixes that…
Nah, too much faff, as I’m on fedora. I couldn’t quite figure out the dependencies.

LemmyTools did try, but development stopped a while back, and it’s pretty broken.

Remember a couple of years ago when Biden just made it illegal for rail workers to strike?
Just pointing out that this king shit didn’t start with Trump, it’s just gone even more off the rails.

Good point.

While the stroad seem realistic, seeing a pedestrian carrying groceries doesn’t seem like americana iconography.

I suppose abraunegg’s onedrive does help with creating a config file, but it might still scare away newcomers to linux having to dig around for it. I suppose they’ll need to learn eventually.

And if you want to up your game a little, there’s Jackett and/or Prowlarr, there’s even an official guide on how to set up jackett to work as a search engine within qbittorrent.

To quote Cory Doctorow on enshittification:

Here is how platforms die:
first, they are good to their users;
then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers;
finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves.
Then, they die.

The Hannibal Directive is absolutely insane.

Roughly 250 Israeli soldiers and civilians were captured by Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups, in what they called Operation Al Aqsa Flood.

Israel’s response was to reactivate and unleash the Hannibal doctrine, extending it to Israeli civilians, as well as soldiers.

Fire from Israeli helicopters, drones, tanks and even ground troops was deliberately unleashed, in a failed attempt to prevent Palestinian fighters from taking live Israeli captives who would then be later exchanged for Palestinian prisoners.

Roughly 1,100 Israelis were killed. It is still unclear exactly how many of these were killed by Israelis and how many by Palestinians. One year on, an investigation by The Electronic Intifada found that at least “hundreds” were killed by Israel.

Official figures, published for the first time last month, revealed that the Israeli Air Force fired 11,000 shells, dropped more than 500 heavy one-ton bombs and launched 180 missiles “during the fighting” on 7 October.

This reminded me to install onedrive for linux. I mean, I have 105 GB of free cloud storage on my OneDrive, it’d be dumb not to take advantage of it even though I’ve moved from windows. CLI and systray GUI. The GUI makes it very easy to log in and setup, no need to touch a config file.
