lol! There’s such a mix of people being genuinely helpful and people telling me the joke is past its sell-by date. But I hadn’t come across reflector before and will definitely give it a go—thanks :)

Thanks—I am running the zen kernel because I didn’t really understand the question during archinstall, and have added an AUR helper but still no lack of joy.

I’ll definitely give this a go—probably on Friday afternoon.

 

I’ve been using Arch for just over a year on my older Dell laptop, and have been regularly running sudo pacman -Syu but not once have I had a problem or anything break. What am I doing wrong?

That headline can be read in at least 2 ways…

I have that (Prosopagnosia) to some extent, and it’s kind of the opposite. Everyone looks different and nobody reminds me of anyone. When people discuss family photos saying things like “don’t they look like their father”, I get nothing.

My son was in a big stage show when he was 12, and we all went to watch. I struggled working out which one he was until he spoke / sang.

I remember using Mosaic on Silicon Graohics machines back in the early ‘90s. It’s was fab for the time.

And yes, Mosaic became Netscape, became Firefox. From the wiki page at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape_Navigator

The business demise of Netscape was a central premise of Microsoft's antitrust trial, wherein the Court ruled that Microsoft's bundling of Internet Explorer with the Windows operating system was a monopolistic and illegal business practice. The decision came too late for Netscape, however, as Internet Explorer had by then become the dominant web browser in Windows. The Netscape Navigator web browser was succeeded by the Netscape Communicator suite in 1997. Netscape Communicator's 4.x source code was the base for the Netscape-developed Mozilla Application Suite, which was later renamed SeaMonkey.[4] Netscape's Mozilla Suite also served as the base for a browser-only spinoff called Mozilla Firefox.

Interesting to see the difference 20 years of improvement in digital cameras have made too. I suspect 2004 was film, but it’s possible early digital.

I do not like the sound of pickass finger nails. But it could explain the fungus.

Anything’s a regex if you’re brave enough.

I used the golden ratio bad but my is design still.

 

Google classify their own security alerts as spam. Or they just can't be arsed with sorting out DKIM.

 

Skype pretty much always stuck like this.

 
 

Here’s an example of an image with a margin that looks too big to me: https://lemmy.ml/post/1511545

 

Keyboard is showing as light in post title and dark in post body for some reason.

 

I’m on .69 and still seeing very large margins around some images. And dismissing image modals with a swipe up or down often takes 3 or 4 goes, and mostly they just bounce back to centre. Finally, zoom seems to ping the middle of the image, which makes zooming near the corner of an image problematic. The zoom pin point should be directly between the two touch points ok the image I think.

 

Very wide, short images such as the original in this post take up a lot of vertical space in the feed:
