This I can get behind.

Exactly. I see so many things that WILL go wrong here. If they're all just rich people, how are they going to live? Who's going to make their necessities? Are they going to have slaves? Are they going to do it themselves? Another one, if the whole world goes down, what do you think the other part of the world will do, watch them sit there in their utopia without just coming in and drag them in the streets? How are they going to prevent that? Will they have armies? So many questions and impossibilities.

Lol. This always makes me laugh. What do they think? This would actually protect them in case of an "apocalypse"?

Xmanager is the champ for me

Eh, I don't see these as problems (except maybe the font rendering). It all sounds like the writer is nitpicking because Firefox is just a "different" browser that does the same things in a different way.

 

This is a gripe I have with a lot of apps. When I get a notification and go to my inbox, click on the reply that someone left me, it doesn't go directly to that reply. It only goes to the main thread and I'd have to scroll all the way down to that comment. And if it's a long thread, then forget it. Could this be implemented?

Coming along very nicely. I love how all the reddit stuff is now gone (as far as I can see). The app feels independent now. I'm freaking loving it.

This should enrage you to the moon and back. This is THE anti-repair/anti-consumer that I'm talking about. I had the same issue the other day on my car rear brakes. A friend of mine is a mechanic and he has this Bluetooth device that he has to use to unlock MY FUCKING BRAKES. And he has to pay $1200 a year subscription fee to update/unlock that software from Hyundai, otherwise it stops working. A car that is completely paid off is locked by the maker and I can't just change the brake pads and rotor on it. This made me extremely mad. I didn't know about it and now I'll make sure my next car doesn't have this shit on it.

Thank you for putting it into better words than mine. I was worried that some might mistake what I said for something silly

Your car is telling you to contact the dealership, not a mechanic or to get it checked. That's very intrusive, anti-consumer and anti-repair. It's your car and they shouldn't be putting shit like this in it. Most they should say is "please get it checked" or something like that.

I will never. I don't want to be assassinated.

The unsung hero that everyone needs to know about!!!!

That would be something I'd definitely pay to watch. But I am talking about this

 

Hi all I have a quick question. Is it better for my zsh shell to be in /usr/bin/zsh or /bin/zsh. I remember reading that one of them would mess up the whole system since zsh is not posix compliant. I believe that szh shouldn't be set as the root shell. I now have it in /usr/bin/zsh, is that good? So now when I drop into a root shell I don't get they autocompletion feature that zsh has. I'd also lose that fancy theme. Does that mean my root shell is still bash? Thanks

Hi all, Just wanted to know, do these all work the same? I have ext4, so no snapshots on timeshift, but I'm using it now to back up to an external SD card. I have heard good things about Pika and dejadup, and had some mishaps with timeshift. So, my question is, do they all do the same thing? Like, if I messed up something, can I use any of these apps to restore to a previous point where the system was working? And what the best backup app in your opinion?

Edit: Basically, I'm looking for a backup app that I can use to do both, backup my whole system and restore to a working state if I borked something. Just like timeshift, but timeshift scares me, because I've had some issues with it where the whole system just got messed up, and I had to reinstall (all ext4 btw) Thanks in advance

 

This is the way we can get people united

 

So, recently, I bought an nvme ssd to replace the very old ssd I have on my laptop. I don't know what the non-nvme is called. It shows as "sda" on the system. Anyway, doubled the storage. The new drive is an nvme WD black SN770. I have the same one running just fine on an optiplex dell mini running endeavourOS. Zero issues. I like to separate home and root partitions and have btrfs on root for snapshots. So, thinking it would behave the same on the laptop, I put the new drive in the laptop and did the same partitioning. Installed Fedora this time, since I like gnome on the laptop and plasma on desktop. Everything went fine. Laptop was responsive and all until I was done and closed the lid. Came back a while later to use it again, black screen and nothing revives it. No key combo or anything works except holding down the power button to shut it off. This kept happening every single time I closed and opened the lid after a while. Thought it might be the distro/DE. Removed fedora and slapped endeavourOS with plasma on it. Same shit happens now. Black screen every time I open the lid after a suspend. So, I decided fuck it, let me juse use ext4 since it happens on every distro. Removed btrfs and used ext4 on all partions, and now this issue never happens. Not even once. Is this a known issue with btrfs and nvmes? Do they not like each other? Just wanted to share this little dilemma I had to deal with the last couple of days.
