Unlikely as many Germanic languages have it, with similar meanings. It’s a variant of “ja”, yes. Add a bit of laconicy and you can make “Well.” a sentence in itself.

You mean like libc.so? Bold move, bold move.

Unless you’re running BSD or some other genetic Unix probably not as everything GNU is newer than that. GNU is 80s, original Unix 70s, in the 60s you still have giant minicomputers with very little standardisation, including ISA, and before the 60s there were not even compilers.

A decent chunk of software traces lineage back to then, even if the old code has been retired: vi is the screen terminal mode of ex with is a more featureful ed which got most of its features from qed which is 60s software. Cutting-edge: You didn’t have to punch holes any more, you had a keyboard and a printer. Someone figure out where dd has its argument syntax from so we know whom to blame.

Well, I’m using KDE and I set up a library eight months ago and… yes there’s a bug. Just checked. Not entirely the same but related to this:

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9797

There’s an official workaround mentioned there.

I guess KDE updated their portal protocol version some time in between and steam got doubly confused. Probably not a KDE bug, in particular because this kind of stuff is happening for many, many portal implementations.

And it’s not a dolphin window (with me) btw it’s a qt filepicker. Says “portal” at the end in the title, kde logo to the left.

add a secondary storage device to my steam library.

You mean have more than one steam library? That’s a steam setting. Nothing to do with KDE. Gnome, Debian or Fedora.

The flatpak works,

Oh. There’s your issue. Don’t run steam as a flatpak, there might be sandboxing issues.

EDIT: MF did you read the page you downloaded stuff from:

Note: To add a game library on another drive, first you need to grant the app access to it:

flatpak override --user --filesystem=/path/to/your/Steam/Library com.valvesoftware.Steam

Meanwhile, in reality, the EU funds lemmy’s development.

They’re also complaining about “women being excluded from women’s spaces by agents of the patriarchy posing as women”. They’re also not necessarily using “TERF” as a label. They’re using typical fascist-style “words mean whatever we want them to mean in the moment” type of stuff, hiding clear-cut positions behind pretend nuance, hence why I favour clarity.

Nah I’m demanding clarity. A clear question “Do you mean excluding TERFs or excluding women” and the answer is “I want to be inclusive”. It may not be meant as such, and I’m definitely not implying that it was, but that’s exactly how a TERF would evade questioning.

A clear “Fuck TERFs” would have provided plenty of clarity, and been much shorter. Also, it would have said “Fuck TERFs”.

Either can describe a bar that throws out Nazis or a Nazi bar, depending on perspective.

As so often, the answer is found in scripture:

One day Mal-2 asked the messenger spirit Saint Gulik to approach the Goddess and request Her presence for some desperate advice. Shortly afterwards the radio came on by itself, and an ethereal female Voice said YES?

“O! Eris! Blessed Mother of Man! Queen of Chaos! Daughter of Discord! Concubine of Confusion! O! Exquisite Lady, I beseech You to lift a heavy burden from my heart!”

WHAT BOTHERS YOU, MAL? YOU DON’T SOUND WELL.

“I am filled with fear and tormented with terrible visions of pain. Everywhere people are hurting one another, the planet is rampant with injustices, whole societies plunder groups of their own people, mothers imprison sons, children perish while brothers war. O, woe.”

WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THAT, IF IT IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO?

“But nobody wants it! Everybody hates it.”

OH. WELL, THEN STOP.

At which moment She turned herself into an aspirin commercial and left The Polyfather stranded alone with his species.

Answer. I said answer. Not solution. Too much aspirin and your blood thins out and you need to move to Transylvania.

Yeah that’s a much too enlightened take for these parts it’ll never fly.

Like Haskell’s (unofficial) motto, “Avoid success at all costs”. Depending on circumstance, that should be read as “(Avoid success) at all costs” or “Avoid (success at all costs)”. We’re mostly in the latter condition I think, with only a couple of things (such as DMs) being shoddy enough that success should be avoided.

Quoth Article 8:

1. Where point (a) of Article 6(1) applies, in relation to the offer of information society services directly to a child, the processing of the personal data of a child shall be lawful where the child is at least 16 years old.
   Where the child is below the age of 16 years, such processing shall be lawful only if and to the extent that consent is given or authorised by the holder of parental responsibility over the child.
   Member States may provide by law for a lower age for those purposes provided that such lower age is not below 13 years.
2. The controller shall make reasonable efforts to verify in such cases that consent is given or authorised by the holder of parental responsibility over the child, taking into consideration available technology.
3. Paragraph 1 shall not affect the general contract law of Member States such as the rules on the validity, formation or effect of a contract in relation to a child.

The referenced point (a) is in the conditions for data processing to be lawful:

the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes;

In essence: The age of consent is 16 when it comes to your personal data. A completely different question is whether lemm.ee even processes personal data, even more so in a matter that requires consent. Because unless you doxx yourself lemm.ee knows nothing more about you than your IP and, presuming best practices, only keeps limited logs around for strictly technical purposes which don’t need consent. That point (a) is only one condition under which personal data can be processed, there’s also b, c, d, e, and f.

…not that I’m saying that the legal notice is bad it’s good. It’s overzealous and overcautious going beyond the letter of the law and event intent, reaching into the fabled realms of actually giving a fuck. Like, if the law says “assault is bad” then this notice is saying “please all cuddle, ok?”

Blahaj is also one of the most welcoming, warm communities I’ve ever seen. If you get banned from there you deserve it IME.

When the bear thing went around there was a tread made on 196 specifically to talk about not the content of the meme, but its impact. I argued that someone interpreting the thing as “would you rather choose me or a bear”, and answering as such, instead of “would you rather choose a random man than a bear” should not be construed to be somehow misogynist or anything, really. I ate a permaban (on 196, not blahaj), reason “BUT WHAT ABOUT THE MEN”.

Mods with with giant chips on their shoulders exist also on blahaj.

Isn’t that the age old “Is Burzum NSBM” discussion. Vikernes is definitely a Nazi, but his music, as in texts etc, isn’t infested with Nazi ideology much unlike much more clear-cut NSBM: It’s not National-Socialist Black Metal, but Black Metal than happens to be created by a National Socialist.

IMO in the end I don’t mind you listening to, or even liking, Burzum, but please have the moral wherewithal to pirate. If that means you can’t have them on the platform because you’d be exposed to lawsuits, then so be it. Fuck Vikernes, he made his own bed.

but then malicious servers can lie about numbers of votes.

They already can do that by pretending to have users they don’t have. It’s definitely a quick way to get defederated.

That’s not going to work radarr is a daemon. Well at least it’s not going to work as intended, you might be able to start the thing as a user, but it’s likely not what you want to do, you want the thing registered with systemd and start up and shut down with the system. We don’t nix-shell -p sshd either.

The trouble with the *rr stuff isn’t libraries, it’s as far as I know all written in .NET, but system integration. Setting up users and permissions, starting the daemon, if necessary punch a hole in the firewall.

I, too, watched Linus’ rant about diving software and that neither distros should be required to package random-ass applications, and app developers shouldn’t be forced to package for random-ass distros. That’s why we have flatpak. There may or may not come a time where such a thing also exists for daemons but it’s not the top priority, also, if you’re running radarr you’re not just a random user, you’re at the very least a power user. Random users direct their browsers to a website, click a link, which then opens qbittorrent. Which btw also has a rss feature. You don’t need a daemon process to do all this stuff, I doubt radarr sets up a system process or whatever it’s called in windows, either, you can do it as a user. The whole design of the thing assumes that you run it on a server, and, therefore, know how to run a server.

As such, two observations: First, that radarr is not a good example subsurface is (and precisely what Linus was talking about), secondly, power users know even less what users actually want than devs.

And presumably you want that fixed. To do that, you have to figure out who needs to do work. In one way or the other, that’s going to be the devs.

We might be using different connotations of “blame”, here. Like, I’m using the git blame one.
