and they also have to not only intersent perpendicularly, but also each of their centers must coincide.

“macOS” is not the same as “Mac OS”!

“Mac OS X” was rebranded to “macOS” (or rather, “macOS” is the successor to “Mac OS X”, but really just is the same but newer, the “upgrade” was just like any other update between Mac OS X versions afaik), and “Mac OS 9” does not belong to “macOS”.

lower case “america” hurts my eyes

well, the problem is not that forums are not real time. the problem is that people use real time chats for things that should’t be done in real time. like guides, which should stand on their own as an organized post, easily searched and found.

“real time” chats, that is, instant messengers, have their time and place. they have been around for a while, but they never really replaced forums. until discord came, which kind of then did. which i guess also resulted from facebook groups, twitter, instagram, and reddit first kind of partially replacing forums, after which then forums really fell out of favor, and discord really is way easier and better to interact with than any of the others mentioned (aside from maybe reddit). people are also just lazy and jusy use whatever works.

and people then started using discord like a forum since forums are almost dead and discord is just simple and easy. so many guides, info, announcements, etc. are put in discord like it is a forum since the admittedly amazing features for roles and bots make it convenient.

it all gets lost in a sea instant messaging organizing. to find something, one must go to one of a a bunch pinned messages in one of the bajillion channels that links to a post (i say oost, it is actually a message) which in turn links to a series of messages where someone knowledgeable posted something useful intertwined with shitpost messages fromither people. if you are lucky, someone made a google doc for a guide, but those also suck, and they are also not easily found unless you know the guy who knows the guy who knows which pinned message in which channel has the link to it.

I honesly feel like a jew living under nazi germany

i am sorry, but i am not sure if you know how ridiculous and hurtful this sounds for people who have witnessed the holocaust and their relatives.

you do not know how it feels to be a jew under naxi germany.

i do not doubt your suffering and oppression, but this is a bit insensitive in my perception and i think these are things we shouldn’t compare until there are comparable things happening.

anyway, yes, that sucks. i am sad that your government is like this in an authoritarian way and that everbody else is ok with everything.

oh ja absolut dies.

ich hab auch schon oft versucht dieses sentiment klar zu machen: informatik ist nicht “wie benutze ich einen computer”. das wäre, etwas überspitzt, wie ingeneurswissenschaften im vergleich zu autofahren.

obwohl wir tatsächlich “richtige” theorie über algorithmen und so dann gelernt haben, fing das erste semester bei mir in der schule (keine ahnung 7te oder 8te klasse, bin 2013er abi jahrgang) an mit “ok erst word und powerpoint lernen, und dann, aber ganz vorsichtig weil das ist voll kompliziert, excel, für die fortgeschrittenen unter euch”. das hatte mich damals schon aufgeregt, obwohl ich noch garkeine erfahrung mit informatik so richtig hatte, wusste ich, dass das eigentlich nicht sinn der sache sein sollte.

ich hätte es am geilsten gefunden wenn die uns alle vor ne konsole gesetzt hätten und wir so alles gelernt hätten. wir hatten zwar basic gelernt, was mit bock gemacht hatte, aber dann sind wir relativ schnell zur bunticlicki-hölle namens borland delphi gewechselt. wer isr auf diese grandios dumme idee gekommen? besonders geil weil wenn man damit zuhause spielen wollte musste man sich ne lizenz von der schule iwie holen und als ob da jemand außer den strebern wie mir (der sich auch noch nen windows emulator für macos geholt hatte) bock drauf hatte.

das sollten zwei verschiedene kurse sein: computerkunde und informatik.

btw ersteres ist schon iwie wichtig: anscheinend durch das ganze smartphone und app ökosystem verstehen kinder heutzutage angeblich nicht das konzept von ineinandergeschachtelten ordnern/verzeichnissen und wie daten auf einem computer konzeptionell strukturiert sind. oder dass google nicht “das internet” ist sondern eine suchmaschine. und so viele andere ähnliche sachen die ich natürlich den kindern nicht übel nehmen kann…

es wäre so viel repredentativer wenn man leute an nem fliesentisch sitzen dort sehen würde. oder leute in der nähe voneinander die alle auf ihr mobiltelefon starren

Das Schöne an Nikotin ist, es macht alleine praktisch nicht süchtig

Also ich will Dir wirklich nichts an Deiner Erfahrung wegnehmen, aber ich dachte eben es macht schon süchtig, weswegen ja auch die Kaugummis funktionieren, oder? Aber okay, Rauchen und Vapen macht auf jeden Fall wesentlich mehr süchtig eben weil man gewisse Mengen einfach instantan aufnehmen kann über die Lunge und das zu ner krasseren Beziehung zur Droge führen kann.

Und eben genau wie Du sagst, wenn man Nikotin komplett “sauber” aufnimmt, dann ist es nicht annähernd so Gesundheitsschädlich wie Rauchen. Manche sagen, so wie Koffein, weiß aber nicht ob das stimmt. Aber süchtiger machen als Koffein tut es bestimmt (denke ich), auch wenn man es nicht raucht, und Koffein macht auch schon süchtig in einem nicht wenigem Maße.

how is this a “meme”?

i live in germany and to me telegram doesn’t feel niche at all.

a lot of younger people use it a bit like discord, like for group stuff. organizing (like e.g. political activism), finding apartents in berlin, and yes, getting drugs as well. also some worklplaces use it (which i think is terrible). it is also preferred by a lot of people to communicate via telegram over signal or whatsapp in situations where people don’t want to give away their number, like online dating.

the first command will take too long (and will be very obvious that something is wrong if it takes forever for ls to actually list everything), better run it in the background with &

to be super pedantic, the right picture should say $x \mapsto f(g(x))$

some comments.

• both are absolutely fine for a university laptop, though very different.
• NixOS is more stable. It is almost impossible to brick it, you would have to delete every working old generation.
• nixpkgs is like arch repos plus AUR together. nixpkgs is actually one of the biggest repos if not the biggest repo at the moment. so no problems there.
• i mean, this is like highly subjective and my own opinion: go with NixOS, it’s just a cooler OS imo and your system and your abilities will only get better with time. and it’s fully reproducible by design, so almost every bit of work you put into it will be worth it, in some sense. i also believe that NixOS will become much much more relevant in the future. bigger community, better documentation, more resources!
• …unless you don’t want to put a lot of time in it in the beginning. it will most likely be really frustrating and it will distract you from other dtuff you want to do on your computer. like just getting browser email editor etc. you will have a setup no problem pretty quickly. it won’t be more than just puttung the programs you need in your systempackages. but then you realize you need vpn, or a dropbox client, or some audio setup, and other stuff, and before you know it you are spending hours and hours or weeks trying to find out how this works… this is, i would say, the major “downside” of NixOS conpared to arch
• if you can afford trying it out and then switching to something else and starting over again, try out NixOS!

well, a standalone WM will usually have less code than your usual DEs, but they also can be less secure in the sense that they might not come eith built-in security features. if your screenlock is buggy (it crashes or it lets you use WM shortcut key combinations or something), that can be a problem. or other stuff regarding saved passwords and keys etc must also be done by hand then usually and depending on if you know ehat you are doing either it works well or it is less secure than a built-in feature of your DE.

also, even though you are right that bigger applications potentially have more attack surface in general, the big DEs like KDE Plasma and GNOME might be (correct me if i am wrong) tested for security more than smaller standalone WMs. but i still tend to feel “safer” when i am in control of everyrhing and the DE doesn’t do all kinds of things automatically in the background.
