Just automatically use one of the other hundred mirrors instead if the main one is down you dumb piece of shit
>>107838895no its actually the correct way to maintain a system but you roomtemp IQ fags wouldnt know anything about that.
>>107838419There's nothing inherently "minimalist" about Arch. You're simply expected to know how to configure your system. Nothing "should" be installed by default except what's required to boot the system. That isn't "minimalism," it's giving you control of your system, which is the entire point. You're free to make your Arch install as light or heavy as you wish. If you want automatic mirror selection, you install it. If you don't, you don't. It's not a complex concept.

>>107835374agree with all except Gnome
kde devs can't even make a calculator right
>>107838952wrong. parens are just ways to make a nested expression take the value of a number in an expression. It's command substitution for math.
>>1078389523/(5-4)How do you distribute the 3?
>>107838952>>107840404>3/(5-4)Where is the invisible 1?
>>107831960this thread is insane. obviously the point is that the calculator shows two different results. i am very smart
the best linux calculator is the windows calculator run through wine
Why do people still use guhnome in 2025, usecase?It doesn't even have a task bar like windows and is functionally broken.KDE just werks, Krita Just werks, KDE connect just werks.I installed kubuntu everything just werks with flatpaks.
>>107837124The only real issue I've had with Gnome over the years is that it's hard to change your default terminal away from the Gnome one because it's literally hardcoded to use the Gnome terminal. Apart from that it's been great. I'm not a tinkerer and I don't care about random niche features. I just want something that works mostly out of the box.
>>107837124>abacus as the bottomUse case?
>>107837250>bringing up jews out of nowhereYou're mentally ill
>>107840390it's not out of nowhere though? these are the people bankrolling GNOME.
>>107840074then use xfce not some weird touchscreen de with android notification bar and dock
Why does Fedora use so much fucking RAM? I look at other Plasma distros with envy over the fact they use under a gigabyte of memory at idle while Fedora KDE is using like 3 fucking gigs after a cold boot NOT INCLUDING CACHE.
>>107833805https://www.linuxatemyram.com/
>>107833805Because they activate every systemd unit on start up to make your OS as plug and play as possible
>>107836901>NOT INCLUDING CACHE>NOT INCLUDING CACHE>NOT INCLUDING CACHE>NOT INCLUDING CACHE>NOT INCLUDING CACHE
>>107840128Sounds like you forgot to not include cache and reserved memory.
>>107833805You don't know what a cold boot is until you've seen your screen physically slow down from the cold.
What was the most disturbing thing you've found on the dark web?
>>107828655that was a deepfake, my fellow human.
>>107795078There are still sites using the .su domain set up by the USSR, Russia administers them but they will show up as USSR
>>107792748Pizza with animals.Not even the dark web, just regular internet, but this was way back in like 2003 when everything was much less regulated and monitored.
>>107838983ok so two people out of hundreds of thousands. both were controversies
>>107840026I have two on the top of my head and only one of them was widely reported on. How many do I have to look up to prove to you that the purpose of a system is what it does and giving the government any incentive to end the lives of its citizens in objectively a bad thing
Why has no big brand succeeded in the e-ink tablet space?Huawei and Lenovo tried and abandoned their productsAmazon has the Kindle Scribe series but it's AmazonBoox has nice hardware and features but typical Chinese brand software longevitySuprenote is mehRemarkable is trying to be Apple too hard
just get a smart pen
>>107830644>Surely a reflective LCD still needs a constant supply of power supplied to it?They do, but power usage has never been the main selling point of e-ink devices, it's always been the paper like qualities. And RLCD displays are not going to be using as much power on backlighting/frontlighting as the typical backlit LCD's are.>>107831648>Why do RLCD have such low resolutions compared to coventional backlit LCD?Unless there is a technical detail causing this that I'm not aware of, this is merely about RLCD being a niche product.>What remains to be seen is how much color-particle based e-ink can be improved.I don't have much hope regarding color e-ink, to be honest. There is no indication that e-ink will ever be capable of magazine level color reproduction.
>>107838357Look at Spectra 6.Maybe it's not magazine level but it's a whole lot different from Kaleido.
>>107826750I just want cheap 7" e-ink reader.Not +$100 dollaer recycled e-waste.My backlog of novels and books is keep getting bigger.
>>107831847I thought this too when i saw the date on my ereader. Its change log is vague, only thing it says is "security and stability" or something to that effect. Features that were in beta 10 years ago are still in the beta tab, there are no perceivable changes. In fact, the only thing that has changed is that i can no longer access the sync feature or the kobo book store from the reader. Just fails it every time. So yeah, surprising to see it was updated as recently as a few months ago only to have nothing different and less features working on it. Doesn't really mean much does it? Again, my original point was that i think it's actually crazy that this ancient device is barely any worse than something i just purchased in Amazon that released this last year. Its hard to believe so little has changed performance wise.
what the fuck happened to youtube ads? While scrolling youtube shorts I just got an ad with an AI voice talking about a "finger massaging machine" while showing a minute of uninterrupted footage of someone fucking some kind of motorized fleshlight with various dildos
I haven't seen an ad since 2018
>AdsI forget those exist. Every time I got my parents and they're watching TV I'm horrified by how long the ad breaks are.
>adsThis sounds like a personal problem, possibly even a case of brain damage.
>>107840304I tried watching YouTube on a device I hadn't setup Ad blocker on yet and it was legitimately an unusable experience for me. I didn't know how bad it had gotten. I can't believe normies put up with that.

>>107839740other companies already struggle to create decent speakers, now imagine having to do all of that with the most horrific constraints, then pile on some needed dsp compensation for all operating conditions, then pile on car safety standards and practices. the room is fucked, the positions are fucked, everything is a mess, getting things to sound clear is a big task already.>>107839747i agree, they just shouldn't be used for "calibration" or reference purposes in most cases. there is some cool stuff being developed (mostly dsp side) but for most consumers i think headphones and iems are the best options overall

>>107839747>Headphones are usually the gateway to hifi speakers thoughspeakers are so based, the amount of people who want them is so small that only the giga expensive stuff holds any actual value, or new shit(sometimes)so you can buy things that were like $400 per speaker for like $50 quite commonly or get them for freet. paradigm monitor 7 v2 owner for $50 cadI got a pair of energy 22s for almost free with bad tweeters tho, sadly one fucking guy in the entire world has the equipment to fix them and its $200 a tweeter so i don't even know if it's worth it

>>107829091That's a six years old bug that comes and goes.
The Sovereign Tech Agency (Germany) funded $562,800 (half a million) worth of development on ALPM (Arch Linux Package Management) work. That work was focused, almost entirely, on creating “Rust libraries and tools” for Arch package management which “aims to maintain compatibility with pacman”. As of this moment, the Rust ALPM has not replaced Pacman entirely. But common sense would indicate that replacement is a goal (otherwise the heavily funded development would be nonsensical).By the way, existing Arch package management tools (such as Pacman) are licensed under the GPL. The new, Rust-based libraries and replacements are licensed under the MIT license.
>>107840081we've been BTFO XD
>>107840127and what package manager should we use, dear anon?just compile everything ourselves?
>>107840127at least, i don't use zsh :'(nice list, anon ^_^how did you manage to create it? or did you take it from somewhere else?
>>107839824>making their own software?but they're not? they're remaking existing free software under corpo licenses and then aggressively lobbying for everyone to adopt the rewritten version, to roll back free software adoption and let the robber barons EEE everything that you use
