And your efforts are very appreciated! I hope there can be a rule to keep useful content while not creating a ton of burden on the mod(s).

The problem I have with this is it’s the pornography argument. You know it’s slop when you see it.

• Brand new account
• No ‘about us’ on the project website with any details about the devs, and the entire website feels like a template, at least created by if not wholly done by AI.
• Asking for donations in cryptocurrency. I actually have no problem with this, but its the part of the pattern. I dont want my e.g. VPN management tool code provided by someone who needs to be anonymous even in their project donations.
• Using MIT license to me means the product could (and probably would) turn commercial at any moment if it finds success. Yes these projects are free to start, but there could be a huge cost in terms of migration need down the road, if the developer alters the deal.
• Many projects (albeit not this one yet) respond to questions about whether they are using AI to reply with ‘of course, English is not our first language’. To me thats just too easy to hide behind and I’m tired of seeing it. English is also not an AIs fist language.
• And of course as soon as you enumerate what makes it slop, they will train the AIs to make it harder to detect. It feels like such a losing battle.

I appreciate rule 7 being updated, but time will tell if all slop projects just learn to wriggle around these rules. It just leaves a bad taste. I’ve started losing trust in any project I find on here, especially when its posted in the above manner.

Replaced my third system with artix and could not be happier.

I’m not sure I really understand your use case, but OwnCloud and OpenCloud offer fewer features than Nextcloud and are mostly about file sharing.

Other things you could consider: pydio cells, or Copy party (very simple and more just cloud storage, no syncing).

I think anybody who is not just dollar cost average buying over the long term for whatever coins they believe in most is just wasting their time.

Maybe some people have the inside track because they’re related to the President, but I think most people would be best off just keeping it simple.

Thats kind of Kronii’s thing though, her default model is all underboob. This is indeed a fitting tribute!

This does seem like something Cici would actually say.

You are dead on. I hate this, if I want this sort of trite shit I can just ask ChatGPT. Instead people now take AI slop and make articles about it so more AIs can ingest it and spit it back again. One step closer to Dead Internet.

Yes, unfortunately. You might be able to use it as a normal user if you are a member of the ‘disk’ group, but its not consistent and it may still actually need root to do all the loopback setup and so forth that you need to make the Windows install ISO sane.

Windows install ISOs won’t work like that, you must use WoeUSB to write it or Ventoy to boot it

Plus ventoy has the advantage that you can just throw a bunch of ISOs on the drive and it’ll boot them all.

Or Netbird, both work very well and Netbird can be completely self hosted; Tailscale requires Headscale AFAIK.

Correct, parent should have said EREX (electric, range extended) or EREV, but not PHEV.

The Fisker Karma and BMW i3 (well some of them) were this type of EV. My wife had an i3 Rex and loved it, though it irritatingly had only a 2 gallon gas tank.

Mazda was working on one but it never came out in the US. Supposedly the Scout EV will have a Rex, that would be nice.

It depends on how the document is written, but \> stops matching on a period, comma, apostrophe, space, newline, what have you. Word boundary matching is just very handy.

As to why its that set of characters… Honestly I have no idea :) Regexes are just what they are and I assume the special escape made sense to the inventor at least.

/-o\>

Seems to work, albeit you’ll hit later mentions doing it more than once, but yeah word boundary searches are awesome.

Agree with your overall suggestion, just a tip for when the man page doesnt cooperate.

Once I had to start running daemon-reload on changing freaking /etc/fstab I was done with systemd. Give me any other init system at this point.

You may not hear this from others, but I would NOT switch your phone OS and desktop OS at the same time. Assuming you live a digital life there is just TOO MUCH to have to deal with while dealing with tbe hassle of things that don’t make sense, or require you to stop what you’re doing and google the answer.

I love /e/OS and would absolutely recommend it, but there are just shortcomings that slow me down all the time (are you OK with the play store compatibility suddenly stopping and you cant download apps - do you wait and see if it starts working after a few minutes? reboot your phone? Log out and back into your google account? Switch to/from anonymous? This happens more than I think folks would readily admit and the solution is just different each time)

Once you are up and running fot a few weeks with whatever change you want to make first then sure go for the other one.

Best of luck!

The female presenting character on the right says that the male presenting one on the left becomes her in the future, and is gay. When he says he ‘likes girls’ she agrees, because a trans woman who likes women would be considered gay.

There are some assumptions I’m making , but I believe this is the intended meaning.

From what I’m reading, autoclean would remove any local packages which couldn’t be download (i.e. they are out of date). This would indeed fix the issue, but your packages could still be missing critical udpates.

When possible you should definitely run ‘sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade’ to get the latest stuff installed. If it says you’re up to date then that’s awesome and no further action is needed.

This is almost always the issue. Apt is not like yum and pacman, you must first run apt update or it will inevitably fall out of sync with the current packages when you try to run install or upgrade, etc.

Yah, left in 2024.
