Yep, I have a lot of AUR packages installed. Never had any problems besides needing to remove a package once to resolve some dependency issues.

Nah, I usually find the solution on the arch website. If that doesn’t work, it’s in the forum - which is usually the first search result on all major search engines for any given pacman problem. Once you’ve found the solution it’s hardly more than just copy-pasting it.

I really don’t get these memes. In about 9 years of daily use on multiple systems I never had anything break beyond a multitude of failures to update with pacman - all of which could be fixed within minutes - and in the early years having to restart my system every couple of months because it stopped recognizing USB devices - after many rounds of updates mind you. I’ve had more frequent troubles with windows. How did Arch get this bad rep?

I don’t think I ever got punched in the face. Haven’t even been in a fight.

I still don’t think the tech is there. My current phone is 6 years old and there still is no reason to get a new one - I couldn’t imagine a foldable lasting that long. The ones I’ve seen in person didn’t age particulary well.

Man wisse nicht, welche Mobilität in Zukunft “wirklich umweltneutral” entwickelt werden könne.

Was soll das überhaupt heißen? EVs gibts es schon und Ökostrom auch. Klar ist die Lösung nicht ideal, Individualverkehr sollte eigentlich gar keine Lösung sein. Aber, egal was die Zukunft bringt, EVs werden immer besser als Verbrenner sein.

My only windows machine left still runs Winamp. It may be old, but at least for playing my offline library, I really don’t know what they could possibly change. For everything else, I wouldn’t use Winamp anyway.

The main draw of xmonad is that you can modify pretty much everything, as the config itself is a Haskell file (the entire thing is written in Haskell). There are tonnes of modules to use, you can define your own window layouts and add whatever functions you can dream off - I haven’t seen any other window manager offer this kind of freedom (with the added joy of learning Haskell!).

As for the second point, about half a year ago, they started doing exactly this. Rewriting xmonad for Wayland. Guess I’ll sit this one out.

I just set up xmonad because I was in the mood for change. Took about a week of tinkering a bit each day and I really like it. Afterwards, I was still in the mood for configs and looked at Wayland. There isn’t much progress on Wayland xmonad, so guess that has to wait.

That’s a common problem I’ve been hearing for almost 10 now - the software support isn’t quite there yet.

For real. I recently had to swap my window manager to xmonad just to feel something again.

Bekommen alle “essentiellen” Berufsstände einen Gedenktag oder belassen wir es bei dennen, die besonders viele Rechtsextremisten haben?

Back then things were more stringent and memes had fixed formats. The same set of pictures, posted over and over again with new text - I can see how one might dislike those. But nowadays the definition is kinda watered down and meme just boils down to “funny picture”, even if they are only posted once. I don’t think you can dislike those in their entirety without just disliking fun itself.

I don’t disagree necessarily, those are two different things in theory. However, my hobbies more or less cover everything I’m passionate about. At least the things I know I’m passionate about. Since most high paying jobs require certain degrees or years of training, and I’m also passionate about not starving, I could not actually try a lot of professions and therefore choosing something I liked recreationally was kinda implied, I thought.

“Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

or

“Do what you’re passionate about.”

Just no. Most things I like don’t pay well and I started to resent the others while doing them professionally. Turning your hobby into your job is like setting your favorite song as your alarm. That’s my experience at least.

Ein weiteres Armutszeugnis für alle CDUlerinnen. Haben unsere Politikerinnen nichts besseres zu tun?

Ich bin um die 30. Weder ich, noch meine Freundin, noch irgendjemand aus unserem engeren Bekanntenkreis ähnlichem Alters hat einen Kinderwunsch. In meiner persönlichen Blase scheint der Trend zementiert.

Wer will auch Kinder in einer Zeit mit aktiven Kriegen, Genoziden, Wirtschaftsproblemen, erstarkendem Faschismus und den zunehmenden Folgen der Klimakrise? Ich bin mir nicht einmal sicher wie alt ich noch in Ruhe werden kann bevor es richtig unangenehm wird - Kindern will ich das nicht zumuten.

Ich bin überrascht, dass sie das dürfen. Hätte jetzt gesagt Sprache ist eher ein bundesweites Thema und um ein Zeichen zu setzen sollte man das bundesweit auch gegensätzlich festlegen.

My most downvoted one should be about Nintendo and Yuzu, I think. I don’t agree with some of their overly aggressive methods, but I argueed against emulation of the current gen and don’t think it is wrong for them to try and stop it (which of course didn’t work, that’s a different topic). Sucks for Citra and Pizza though.

Self-promotion, same as most other platforms. There are already people on here doing so. If you post your e.g. comics for free, there’s nothing wrong with linking your website or merch.

However, ads or other forms of monetization within the fediverse will most likely ruin it.

I don’t think anyone should be able to monetize themself on here. Donations are fine, but only for the select few actually keeping the servers on.

Bring money into it and most things go to shit.
