Not in a game, but I’ve sometimes tried to Ctrl+F some text on a pile of papers.

But it was supressed with tan-

“Individual found dead in his house after typing a comment on a social media. Allegedly he tried to kill himself with 2 shotgun rounds to the head”

Yeah, where did you think square roots come from?

While the Windows implementation works, it’s not the best one. Even WinRar will compress and uncompress faster, and 7Zip also beats WinRar. The compression ratios are also higher on 7Z, regardless of the file format (Rar, Zip, 7z).

Besides, 7Z can open other (arguably better) formats, like the aforementioned 7z or tar (tar, tar.gz, tar.7z, tar.zst, …)

Superior to 7Z?

I’m not especially informed about this, but wasn’t 7Z better than any other alternative? I’ve seen some benchmarks and, while WinRar beats every Windows implementation of Zip files, 7Z is always faster and compresses more. Also, the 7Z file format is way more advanced than Zip, Rar or Tar, and it allows many forms of post-quantum encryption.

Maybe there’s something I’m missing?

Afaik, they are unblockable. They are served from the same domain as the video, so if you block them you can’t see the video either.

Instead of blocking it at the domain level, you can install adblockers on almost any platform. I recommend uBlock for Firefox and ReVanced for Android. ReVanced is also supposed to work on Android TVs, iirc.

Sometimes others have already made a comment explaining your exact opinion of what you just downvoted, so instead of spamming more comments you can downvote one and upvote the other which explains your opinion.

The thing about parallel booting is it’s only faster in systems with lots of cores, and the overhead of the parallelized code is sometimes enough to negate the benefits in older processors.

My machine is a Core 2 Duo lappy, which allows me to run most modern programs cheaply. However, it’s slow (even though I don’t use DEs either), and laptops are the kinds of computers you boot multiple times a day. That’s why I care about boot times. And in this case, you can see that booting with a parallelized init system is slower than booting with a “regular” one.

Yeah, Systemd might be the new fad, but I still believe there are lots of things to learn from the simple init systems. After all, an init system should only focus on initializing a system, and it shouldn’t be as complex and complicated as Systemd is.

I might be just another old man yelling at clouds. But hey, that makes two of us now.

I run Void with runit.

I’ve tried to completely avoid systemd, and so far I think I’ve managed. It’s still a pain in the ass, because a lot of software depends on it.

As an upside, startup time on my old lappy went from 2+ minutes on barebones Arch with systemd to just under 40 seconds on Void with runit.

It’s slow and heavy, and it does too many things. It’s a monolithic piece of code so big it’s getting too difficult to maintain, so it has more vulnerabilities than other alternatives. It’s also taking over the whole system, to the point where Linux systems will soon be Systemd/Linux instead of GNU/Linux.

It’s also developed and funded mainly by Microsoft, which is also something people don’t really like. Microsoft are trying to make it similar to Windows in some ways, which makes it way more difficult to debug random errors.

And it doesn’t follow the UNIX guidelines, which is just the cherry on top.

If you use Arch, you aren’t really affected. As far as we know, the backdoor only affects SSH if it is linked against liblzma, which is a requirement for libsystemd. However, Arch doesn’t use that, so SSH has probably been safe. However, you should still update, because we don’t know if the backdoor could’ve been used in other ways.

Note that if you update, xz 5.6.1-2 will be installed. This is a safe version. However, if you run xz --version, it will still report version 5.6.1.

Why is the prong at the right shorter than every other one? Bad fork, 1/5. Giving it a 1 and not a 0 because it’s probably heavy and I like that.

Wayland, Texas. According to wikipedia it had a population of 100 people in the year 2000. AFAIK it’s a ghost town now.

I know that town because I once read a “fun fact” about the Wayland Protocol that said its name was chosen for being the name of an actual town, which (supposedly) cannot be copyrighted.

Obligatory “I use Arch, btw” comment. I’ve been using Arch for years and, honestly, it isn’t that much of a pain. It mostly works with the defaults, installation is really easy now with archinstall, and there’s a ton of software ready to install from the repos or the AUR. Besides, the arch wiki is amazing and has solutions for many of the problems you’ll ever have.

No, because then people would be able to exit it. I’d say they are :, w and enter.

Yes, we use it. However, it’s more common to say “hubiera”. There’s no specific rule to differenciate between both, but at least in the center and north of spain we mostly use “hubiera” for first person and “hubiese” for third person.

“Ojalá hubiera podido ir, pero tenía deberes” (yo)

“Ojalá David hubiese venido, se lo habría pasado bien” (él)

As I said, both options would be correct in both cases, and probably in other places they use the words differently.

Java code is run inside a client (JRE) that provides it a non system-dependent runtime environment. If there’s a JRE for your OS, all java programs should work fine regardless of the OS.

This is the case with Minecraft, for example. When the launcher was still based on Java, you could run the Windows executables on Linux and it worked.

However, some programs might still not work on another OS despite it having a JRE. That could be caused by intentional limitations or the use of a system-specific library.
