>>107695017That just reminded me of:https://man.archlinux.org/man/paccheck.1.en>>107694765You may want to run that. If there's corrupt system files then you can fix them just by re-installing the package.
>>107695079Your problem is the filesystem not the system files. Unix culture doesn't enable pet filesystems. Back it up, fix the root cause, reformat, restore.
>>107695114Where do you think the system files are stored, but yes, you're correct, a system file shouldn't just corrupt itself.
Are fedora spins hard to debloat? Thinking of using fedora sway instead of arch because im too lazy to updoot arch but also want software to not be old and stuck in debian. Is there a way to stop fedoras package manager from pulling unneeded dependencies like with apt --no-install-recommends?
>>107695158yes
Needing some advice on music players for Linux. Running Antergos. Installed a few, and so far the only viable option is Audacious, but it is missing some creature comforts that I got with foobar. Most importantly, I want one that will support some sort of convolver, since I have impulse waveforms for all of my cans. I am using a Schiit stack to play everything. Anyone have any recommended players?

>>107690065just pipe whatever into easyeffects
>>107690065>>107695081Pic for reference
>>107690134You can convert in it, however audacious as OP is already using is better in almost every way.

I just don't really have a drive to go past Anon, do X. Anon, do Y. Having to navigate office politics and/or read executives minds is so fucking dumb. I want to get a new job but it's also just kinda what's the point man it's the same shit. I hate the rat race so much.
got what i voted for award
>>107694334So the difference that they're not bringing the jeets in, but moving to the jobs to the jeets?Still an improvement in my opinion.
Why aren't you downloading all the software/tools for anything you could ever want to do offline on your OS since 2010? Download sites for obscure tools and utilities go down every year, accelerated since the last 5. Software support cycles are the fire in which we burn.
I solve most of my problems with free software which doesn't have this failure mode

most of them end up on archive.org and I can test stuff in a windows xp virtual machine

The steam frame is gonna cost like 700 dollars maybe more with the RAM issues going isn't it? The Quest 3 was being sold for 407+100 dollar in Amazon credit a week ago.
>>107693887But I don't want fucking zuck to upload my room, see my penis and listen to every word I speak. I know you windows troons don't care. Enjoy your fucking Windows 11 Home edition.
>>107693887Lol.. maybe before the great ram rapening, dont expect to pay less than 1000 now, im guestimating 1300 flat before tax in the US, unless valve subsadizes which they said they werent planning on doing 700 is not happening.
>>107695045>can't even spell subsidizes>thinks 16gb of ram will make it hundreds of dollars more expensivemeds retard
>>107693887Seems like a decent deal given that it's an actual Linux PC instead of just a locked down android thing. It'd be fun to use one in place of multiple monitors.
Completely okay with $700 for this btw
wtf
>>107670039This guy writes like he was rejected by Captain Planet’s writing team. Get over yourself, Rob.
Thanks for the links, flagged both HN threads and downvoted the comments. Total retard death.
>>107670039This faggot got so much done at Bell, since he moved to Jewgle he hasn't done shit I hear he gave up on using Plan9 and just uses a fucking Mac these days too.Also he didn't speak out when Jewgle was building enormous data centers to pump out ads and spy on us. He didn't speak out when crypto doubled down on that. Why would I care what he has to say now? Nigger should go back to ruining Go and leave everybody alone.
>receive benign spam e-mail in which AI wishes you a nice day>have a total mental breakdown>orange reddit has thousands of comments and tries to start a witch hunt of the AI's authorsWhat causes people to be this emotionally deranged? Normal people get tons of truly harmful spam (phishing etc.) every day without having a meltdown. But AI wishes Rob Pike a nice day and suddenly there's an angry mob with pitchforks.

I don't code, I just ranked every lang that I "know" from what I heard and saw. + aura and looks. Sorry if your fav lang isn't on the list. I just use Linux and I unintentionally use bash and sometimes. I use python and pip to download shit and scripts, but I never wrote a single line of it.
>>107694775.a and .so are linker artifacts, not language constructs. C itself does not know what a .so or .a is.
>>107694961rust needs header files too. if you make a rust library indended to be used by c/c++/carbon/zig you'll need headers to call your extern "C" exposed methods.
>>107694451>Powershell ms trash, we use bash! PosixRagebait?Because have used both I am telling you Powershell is far more sophiticated, this tells me you are a brainlet are getting filtered.
>>107694645Use uv unironically. They don't bother enforcing the max version supported choice. I'm assuming that's what's going on there. Honestly python packaging is much worse than js and the OP's tier list is full retard.
>>107695033PowerShell is shit because it suffers from python2 | python3 split. You have: Windows PowerShell and PowerShell Core. Also you can sometimes cause weirdness when you try and shadow variables where it will complain the .NET JIT already optimized it. It's a really weird language. Is it better than bash? Sort of, at very specific examples, but even on Windows I still end up lowering to cmd.exe or old timey DoS and early NT binaries because PowerShell is not comprehensive.
if AI is so good, then the fact that AI was used should be plastered across the producttrying to deny using AI and creating fake concept art and sketches is cringeeither proudly say that it was made with gigachad AI or just don't use AI if you are retarded
>>107695105Because there is a huge AI Hysteria that's creating a backlash. They will admit it once the dust settles and people accept AI just like smartphones just like the internet before it.

>>107694744It's an improvement
I've never used the ik version, but for Llama.cpp, quants below IQ2_M really suck and make tons of errors for most models I've tried, that a smaller model at Q3 or above wouldn't make. There is a world of difference between Q2 quants and we really cannot be unspecific about exactly what Q2 we are talking about and for which model of course. This makes sense because the intelligence loss is not linear.

>>107692637for 66 dollars you are better off scrounging ebay for an old laptop that has a 1tb drive in it and just taking that out. bonus free spare laptop if you find the right deal.if you want real hard drive deals, ebay refurbished is the way to go. goharddrive is also very reputable for refurbished units and they have a 5y warranty.
buying hard drives off aliexpressY/NId like an oldschool mechanical drive with tons of storage
>>107694554scroll up a bit
>>107691319>>107691329It was just some random shit from bundles. I'm fairly sure it was just a visual glitch though as it's never happened before and the difference is about what VAT would have been.Anyway it is kinda annoying, but it's mostly stuff I was gonna get anyway and it was still slightly cheaper than getting it outside of the bundle page. I'll try complaining about VAT not being included in the checkout price, but if I don't get any compensation it's not the end of the world.

>>107694905guess you'll just have to do with 29 linux threads instead of 30
>>107694859I don't even care about the OS, for laptops, their hardware is the peakest of peaks.I'm full Android/Linux at this point after being a macfag for over a decade, and I have to say I much prefer that software. But my macbook air m1? I can't seem to be able to get rid of it, I just changed its battery and went on a video binge over 2 days, 11 fucking hours.Nothing touches it. Not even close.
>>107694977True, true, hardware is excellent. The M-series processors are as fast as the fastest CPUs from AMD. Built quality is unmatched. Screens, speakers are extremely good. The keyboard is acceptable, a bit low travel but tactile enough. At least they reverted back from the butterfly keyboard fiasco. Port selection could be better, but nothing that can't be solved with the right TB dongle. Software-wise, macOS is meh. It's getting slower, more bloated, and buggier with each release. Since Big Sur or Catalina, I don't think they have added ANYTHING genuinely useful, and they have taken away plenty, like being able to run 32-bit applications, which means a large amount of Steam games no longer work. All the containerization and security stuff gets on your nerves sometimes. You have to dance around the security tab all the time while installing apps and ask for permissions constantly. Maybe it's to save normies from shitware, but I wish there was a "relax, I know what I'm doing" setting that made it a bit less stringent.
Is lack of curiosity and responsibility combined with AI killing tech?
>>107683202Also no generation is a monolith

>>107683186It's capitalism. it's the alpha and omega of all our problems.
>>107683186Is this shitpost from LinkedIn? It is inundated with self-glorifying, humble-bragging between corporate drones. Boilerplate glow-ups and dick sucking. Companies themselves are guilty of every single point in this man's post: they take credit for other people's work, they are easily bored with technical discussions that have no corporate buzzwords, they are overly sensitive to criticism to the point of being petty and vindictive, they try to eliminate/offshore as many positions as possible and depress compensation, and they do not fucking care about their employees. I am not a zoomer, but I have no problem with zoomers taking advantage of this shitty system that rewards grifting and nepotism. This is just late stage capitalism: you reap what you sow. Why should anyone be loyal and hardworking for a parasitic corporation? Accelerate.
