the worst part for me is that i really like them as people; i aspired to emulate one once in a few ways.

if your session is still running you can use env to help reconstruct it

i hate to admit it; but i love the republican’s style. don’t get me wrong; i despise the republicans; but you have to admit that they’re very affective at corralling the republicans into towing the party line with their soundbite driven propaganda and i appreciate how some of them don’t mince words like this.

especially after reading the onion layers of evil in both the white house’s warning memo against voting for bernie’s ban-weapons-for-isreal bill, along with their unwillingness to enact the equal rights amendment despite project 2025 looming on us. (there’s still being time to enact it but they won’t!!! wtf!). it’s refreshing how the republicans don’t mince words and pleasing to see that the more well known radical figures on each side of the isle both have it right.

things would be a LOT better if the people on the left side of the aisle figured it out as quickly as the right side of that aisle did when we saw senator turtle and speaker third-time-is-the-charm and senator hee haw figure it out for themselves a couple of years ago when they switched from criticizing trump to kissing his ring.

we’re literally in a situation where the only currently capable, significant and unified opposition there is to trump right now is the turtle and he’s wants a lot of the same things that that trump wants.

i wasn’t aware that this was a thing; is it like talk therapy?

all victories matter and each one adds to the momentum for this snowball as it rolls down the hill.

i take back what i said; i just discovered that suse isn’t going to support opensuse anymore.

i always felt that the old dell powerconnect line of switches’ operating system was a knockoff of cisco’s; so i can say with confidence that, that sticker was probably more useful than the old powerconnects. lol

i used to have a 2013 macbook air from the electronics disposal bin and used it for five years as my daily driver. i don’t know how well it would do considering all your audio related constraints; but in your shoes i would do some quick and dirty testing with a live linux distribution on usb drive.

i would go with elive because it comes preinstalled with proprietary software; including things for multimedia, like codecs. you could also do it w any other distro, but why not save yourself the extra steps; since we’re only looking for breadcrumbs to follow anyways.

i used to use a headset w a usb audio dongle circa 2002 on red hat linux and the breadcrumbs i found back then led me to discover that getting it to work required the proprietary software that the distros wouldn’t carry because of the licensing. so i spent days tearing apart my new installation trying to get it to work with the help of strangers on internet linux forums and ultimately failed; i later succeeded with mandrake linux and ran with that for about 3ish years before switching to debian and later elive.

elive has already figured out all the intricate details necessary to get that software to work and i’m inclined to believe that they made significant improvements over the last 20ish years. you can use the fruits of their labor for a quick and non-invasive test that can be the first breadcrumb that leads you to whatever you end up using for your two machines while ensuring your audio requirements will be met; maybe elive can also help with other proprietary software or maybe it’s people on the software that they use that are like yours.

also: you lost me on Focusrite Audio-Interface paragraph so i don’t understand how it fits into any of this.

do you have any intel related packages in your system? you can search with something like apt-cache search intel

if it turns out you don’t and you’re certain that it’s okay for you then you can probably add a repository for it.

i can’t stress enough the part where you need to be certain that you need it.

i know that the votes from grad and .ml aren’t reflected on the diet reddit instances like .world and now i wonder if the opposite is true.

i use xfce, but entirely because it worked well when 16 megabytes of ram was considered average and it literally took almost a half hour to log in and start using a browser on both gnome and kde.

is mate as lightweight as xfce?

i wonder who on lemmygrad didn’t like this so much that they down voted it. lol

is there supposed be an article describing what’s happening here?

i fear for mexico’s future and suspect that the same manufactured consent that got americans to ignore a genocide (again) will be leveraged to derail the morena’s party’s momentum in revitalizing mexico in the face of american pressure.

“The fact that they didn’t send a formal [Statement of Administration Policy] is a sign that they are too ashamed to put these arguments on White House letterhead,” a Senate aide argued.

🤦

i think it’s a bubble effect of the democrats who have lost touch with americans.

3 out of the 5 software developer leftists that first introduced me to marxist/leninist theory switched to either becoming a hard core capitalist or keep their mouths shut because of the disgustingly high salaries they get from their software engineering jobs.

status quo joe is not going to do anything besides shore up the american empire’s designs as best he can against trump.

In addition to conventional call-ups, conscription teams patrol public areas or stop cars on highways to draft eligible men into the army. Dozens of men have died and hundreds were caught when trying to illegally cross the border. Other are already abroad. Some don’t leave their apartments for weeks to dodge the draft.

The government decriminalized first-time desertion earlier this year in an effort to boost numbers …

and they see nothing wrong with this; jesus christ!!! 🤦

Kozhemyako founded Khartiia, or Charter, as a group of volunteers during the chaotic early period of the war. He had quit a family skiing holiday in the Alps the day Russia launched a full-scale invasion in February 2002. The crop trader had spent more than two decades building up AgroTrade, a farming empire with a land bank almost as big as Singapore.

i wish i understood why ukrainians love our oligarchs so much when it’s clear that they’re causing our collapse.

androids can’t do base distro’s anymore?

the touch screen support was TERRIBLE, but it was helped a lot by the physical slide-out keyboard and i never got the phone capabilities to work correctly, but i heard from my colleagues at the time that some of them had figured it out.

even bernie agreed that this was the case and the dnc leadership showed us their true colors when they rebuked his assessment.

i wonder if the streisand effect is the intention because it causes engagement in a story that would otherwise be mostly ignored.
