  • Noooooo. You've ruined everything. What is the point in living now?

  • What's a better way to say "possibly possible" or "necessarily necessary"?

    Jump

  • Similar but not quite.

  • What you have there are examples of a Tautology. Like saying "me myself". The right thing to do is drop one of the words entirely. No additional meaning is imparted with 2 words that mean essentially the same thing.

  • What are the silliest reasons people have given you for not wanting to try Linux?

    Jump

  • Obvious, right? Only an evil person would say it that way.

  • What are the silliest reasons people have given you for not wanting to try Linux?

    Jump

  • Agreed. But it does make it easy to tell evil Linux users from good Linux users. I pronounced it so you can tell who is who.

  • Confession: I don't know what passwords in Linux are for

    Jump

  • Except that UAC has been frequently compromised and still is. The historic weakness of UAC, and the juicy reward, continues to make it a favourite point of attack. Microsoft obviously knows this because they call the current UAC a legacy mode, and they're superseding it with the new Administrator Protection modes. This isn't turned on by default afaik, probably due to compatibility issues, but I'm guessing it'll be a big thing soon.

  • What's your professional deformation?

    Jump

  • Lol. Pressing a button on your forehead. Still humours. Sry. I'm easily amused.

  • What's your professional deformation?

    Jump

  • Lol oh dear. I assume you twist the lamp to turn it on. Does it look like you are grabbing an invisible dick and giving it a twist? At least it is dark so no one else can see you.

    What's the most hilariously useless superpower you can think of?

    Jump

  • That guy from extraordinary that says he can shoot lasers from his eyes, but turns out only as strong as a laser pointer. I had to pause the show while I pissed myself at that one. Wish I could find the clip

  • Why go through the trouble to use Arch?

    Jump

  • Honestly, the AUR and arch wiki are amazing. Every other distro I've used I've had to rely on out of date or unreliable support forums. Anytime I want to install something I don't have hope it already has a package, because someone has usually already built an AUR package that either compiles from the latest source for you or comes pre-pcompiled.

    Being on the most up to date version of the kernel and all software is a good thing in my book. I certainly haven't had issues caused by this.

    I'll admit the Arch can be a struggle to set up initially, so that's why I use EndeavourOS. EndeavourOS is just Arch with a GUI installer, a shortlist of tweaks all users would want anyway, it let's you choose your preferred Desktop Environment during install, and it feels like any other distro in terms of getting it ready for use. It doesn't come with any apps, other than core system tools and firefox, which is also good because you can then install whatever you want.and be free of anything you don't want. Also, all the usual hardware gets detected and works out of the box.

    I won't go back to any other Linux.

  • Chat Control 2.0 has passed the first round of approval

    Jump

  • This is one of the many reasons that prohibition doesn't work. Anything prohibited gets pushed underground and criminalised, but can't be stopped. The best option, like with drugs, is to decriminalise and educate. Teach kids so they "know" before they become adults, otherwise dangerous stuff is a surprise waiting to burn kids when they turn 18.

  • "outlaws anonymous communication" - This sends chills down me more than anything else I can remember. The people and organisations that benefit from this can't be trusted.

    The only thing this does is control the law abiding public. Criminals are already breaking the law, and won't care. It is trivial to build an anonymous communication app. There will always be a workaround.

    Anonymity, and free speak should be human rights.

  • DAW software for Linux?

    Jump

  • I would be interested in any resources you have on improving latency with pipework. Windows has the ASIO driver which gives direct access to the Audi interface. I didn't think pipewire was able to match it, but I'll be glad to be wrong.

    I took a brief looked at yabridge a while ago, but struggled. Sounds like I should revisit it.

  • What are your favorite cartoons?

  • Let's get "The last Airbender" out of the way now.

  • DAW software for Linux?

    Jump

  • Reaper is definitely the way to go. While it is not FOSS I feel it has the spirit of Linux. It is extremely customisable and flexible and it has all the features you expect from a good DAW.

    The real issue is finding instrument and effect plugins that work on Linux. The popular ones are all windows or Mac only because they depend on DRM control software that doesn't work on Linux.

  • How to remove 'anti-piracy' footers from complex PDFs?

    Jump

  • Honestly there are so many ways pdfs can hold unique information that retaining the same format is probably not going to work.

    The 2 options I suggest are . . .

    1. Use a tool to extra the text into a plain text fromat then paste it into word along with screen shots of any images you need.
    2. You could try converting each page to a JPG image using something like Gimp. You could then desaturate it or convert it to pure black and white so it reveals any hidden text which you can paint over. If you want the images in colour just crop them out from the original file and paste into the new b&w copy. This is a crap description but hopefully it makes the point.

  • What did you invent?

    Jump

  • An effectively infinite power source. It is scalable for use in phones, cars houses, ships, factories. Obviously I can't publish it because it would never make it through the patent process without me and anyone I know being disappeared.

    Yes I made one. Yes it works. No I'm never sharing it with anyone.

  • Human em dash users, are you still afraid of being mislabeled as "AI"?

    Jump

  • Default behaviour for Word is to auto correct hyphens to em dashes. It has annoyed me for years.
