No news? guess I can finally relax

*September

Nah just ban anyone who beats me in awp duels for evidently having teenager reflexes.

when will be the ideal time to declare “look upon my works ye mighty”; after building the Sphynx or after using it?

wonder what @410757864530_dead_follicles@hexbear.net is up to

I found it again but it’s dead

it was called defaultfile.name

looks like someone is/was trying to revive it here:

And someone made a curated list of the kinda stuff you’d find in the description of this video.

5th circle

There was a site that would send you to random youtube videos that had titles in the various videocamera default formats. It was incredible slice of life observational cinema mixed with occasional horrifying stuff like animal abuse.

Most single player games are too long. Sam and Max games hit a sweet spot imo, 3-4 hours per episode, playable in one sitting but don’t feel like you’re playing a demo.

Half-life was on the right track before they just decided they didn’t feel like making games anymore.

Also books are too long, bring back novelletes

NPC behavior is an emergent property from having a just cause.

funny but not news worthy in my humble opinion

Checkmate atheists.

You have my attention

If you’ve seen this classic copypasta it is actually an accurate explaination.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX

apt update make a todo list of what needs to be updated

apt upgrade execute that todo list

don’t worry about bothering people, linux dorks love answering questions. Why do you think every linux thread han 1000 replies

DE is just personal preference, you can’t really go that wrong with any of the popular ones plus you can easily change it later without a reinstall.

If you like the look and feel of mint then you can just use cinnamon on cachy.

I’d recommend KDE to most people.

I’m using cachy on my daily driver/gaming rig. Personally I like to use debian LTS on my other devices because I use them intermittently and don’t want to worry about keeping them up to date.

apt is used by debian based distros.

Arch based distros generally use pacman for distro packages.

“Third party” is a bit too vague a term for linux. The distro distributes packages that are made by other parties (“upstream”) some of which are part of the operating system (the OS is modular and made up of packages from many sources) and some of which are applications either preinstalled or that you have installed using the distro’s package manager. The distro’s job is to make all of these packages easy to get and work together nice.

You can also install packages that are not distributed by your distro. On debian systems like mint this in usually done by adding another source repository (ppa) to apt. Also using flatpacks, appimages or building yourself.

On arch generally people use the AUR (Arch user repository). This requires a separate package manager like yay. Because packages on the aur can be uploaded by anyone you have to be careful about malware.

Arch has frequent updates, cachy less so but still much more frequent than mint. The system can break if you don’t update often enough (by break I mean it won’t be able to update or install new packages and require a fresh os reinstall to fix).

I just assumed you were making a joke about journaling file systems that I’m not smart enough to get. Or maybe you still are?
