Big fan of SBC gaming, open source engine recreations/source ports, gaming in general, alternative operating systems, and all things modding.
Trying to post and comment often in an effort to add to Lemmy’s growth.
Any reason you would recommend Slackware specifically?
I’ve watched a few Youtube videos on the history of it and the advantages of it but I don’t recall much. It seemed like a lot of people who had used Slackware a long time ago simply continuing to use Slackware and people using at as a learning tool because of how user involved it is.
Would you recommend people start with Slackware itself or a Slackware-based distro?
Why paru specifically?
I didn’t read the documentation so I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to use sudo with yay.
-Ss can be added to pacman to search for packages. Pretty useful if you don’t want to DuckDuckGo them every time.
As for applications one neat one I don’t see recommended very often is xkill. You can use it to kill applications kind of like you would with the task manager in Windows. htop is probably a closer comparison to the task manager in general though.
There are a lot of Arch-based distros that are incredibly easy to install if you want a very easy setup process that doesn’t involve a lot of terminal work.
Who was surveyed for this?
Totally but people do get careless. We’ve seen it a few times with the war in the Ukraine. /r/VolunteersForUkraine is a good example of that.
I imagine it could be difficult stressing the importance of it to loved ones.
I feel like a lot of the military probably uses Facebook messenger because of the convenience.
I imagine everyone is creating groupchats and assuming other people use Facebook just like pretty much every other job.
That’s a good question. I wonder if there are available user numbers for them.
I imagine it’s regional and depends on what communities you are in. SimpleX chat seems pretty popular these days in privacy circles but I could see something like Briar being useful if traditional networks weren’t reliably available for example.
It seems to not be effecting all VPN connections, I’m wondering if yours just hasn’t been blocked yet?
I wonder if the Tor version of Reddit still works
https://forum.torproject.org/t/reddit-onion-service-launch/5305
Not the original person replying but I tried it as well and opening the app gives me the same error message.
There’s a message at the bottom that says
Stealth might stop working soon
that when clicked says
Considering it talks about old.reddit.com I imagine the VPN issue is effecting it as well.
As others have pointed out it’s going to vary from service to service. It’s like how some VPNs aren’t blocked by Netflix.
Serial killer style
The New York Times article I linked mentioned that. I will have to watch that video though so I can get a better understanding of the mechanics of it. Thanks for the link.
I feel like if someone wanted to give off the impression that they were a non-English speaker that might work. I think it would be limited to a surface level though. Whoever attempted to use it would likely miss out on a lot of the common pitfalls someone learning a new language would run into like mixing up the order of adjectives.
That and the content that is being run through a translator multiple times might get warped. I am not sure if going back and forth messes things up as badly as it did 10 years ago though.
I had to look up what sealioning is
I did it with the sarcastic option elsewhere in the comment thread and it seems to plateau around the third time.
That would be an interesting way of doing it. Someone could probably couple that with predictive text for decent results
Changing dialect may be too small of a change. But if you could say write this like 1-2 generations younger/older using high school slang of the time you might get a useful difference.
I feel like knowing the correct use of slang for a demographic would be a challenge and require a lot of constant research. Even if someone was to go off of slang younger people were using I feel like there’s a risk of it being a regional term.
Trying to force it I’d probably end up with something like “Those elf bars be dripping but that extra popcorn lung was a vibe check on god” which gives off “How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?” vibes.
This looked fun so I took a section from a Hackaday article about the last Morse code station in America and ran it through.
The original
There are still a few niches of Morse code, including, of course, the amateur radio community. Code isn’t that hard to learn, it is dead easy to make a computer send it and only moderately hard to receive it. Making a transmitter to send the code is also easy, or feel free to whistle, thump, or use a flashlight in an emergency.
More sarcastic:
Oh wow, what a shocker - Morse code is still around! Who would’ve thought?! And amateur radio enthusiasts just can’t let go of it, can they? Learning code is like, soooo easy, anyone could do it. Just get a computer to do all the work for you, nbd. And receiving it? Pfft, child’s play. Making a transmitter? Piece of cake. And if all else fails, just whistle, thump, or use a flashlight to save the day. Morse code, the pinnacle of modern technology.
More sarcastic x2:
Oh, can you believe it? Morse code is somehow still lingering in the depths of obscurity. Those amateur radio nerds just can’t accept that the rest of the world has moved on. Learning code is obviously a breeze, I mean, who needs to actually put in any effort these days? Just rely on a computer to do everything for you, because that’s what innovation is all about. And receiving it? Ha, like it’s some kind of magical talent. Building a transmitter couldn’t possibly be any simpler, right? And if all else fails, just resort to whistling, thumping, or waving around a flashlight to communicate like a caveman. Morse code, the cutting edge of technological advancement - truly mind-blowing.
More sarcastic x3:
Oh wow, can you believe it? Morse code is just so incredibly popular and relevant in today’s high-tech society. I mean, only the coolest and most hip people are still using it, right? Those amateur radio enthusiasts are just way ahead of the curve, refusing to let go of this ancient and totally necessary form of communication. Why bother with modern advances when you can just tap some dots and dashes into a machine, right? So much easier than actually learning something new or challenging yourself. And don’t even get me started on building a transmitter - I’m sure it’s just a piece of cake. Who needs smartphones and instant messaging when you can just whistle or wave a flashlight around like a caveman? Morse code, the pinnacle of innovation and sophistication - truly groundbreaking stuff.
After that it kind of plateaus. It seems like in short bursts it could do alright depending on what modifier is chosen, other options seem to alter what the original prompt is trying to convey pretty drastically.
Thanks for linking it.
Is there a chance that Arch says that so they don’t have to take on the responsibility of endorsing yay while also acknowledging its prevalence?
Like if Nintendo made a statement saying they recommend against third party mods or repairs that deal with joycon stick drift because they don’t want to be held accountable or contacted about issues consumers run into a result of them.
