Thanks, I did not know about PyXDG. That was the type of thing I was asking about.

I do. But you might have misunderstood my question. I was not asking for assistance. I was just curious if there are libraries available which allow easy adoption of the XDG specification. I imagine that such abstractions would be useful for multi-platform software and generally to lower the bar for adoption.

Are there abstractions available around the XDG specifications to resolve the proper paths?

I had a similar issue and had to reboot without a battery first, so the previous one was “forgotten”. It seems like the battery control is a completely separate circuit which in some cases needs to be be reset (if you have such options) or depleted so new batteries are recognized. Maybe search for such instructions for your specific laptop brand and model. HTH

I don’t hate Windows but I hate being forced use it. I feel that I’m very effective when using Linux and just don’t like when I am being slowed down. I want to use my machines to get things done and don’t like it when operating systems and tools get in my way instead of enabling me to do what I need to do. Hating Windows is pointless because it’s a waste of energy: it is what it is, why expect more?

Thanks for pointing that out. But it was only a joke.

I understand and agree to your point on cluster munitions. From what I understand from the article it seems that the missiles reached civilian areas either because they deviated from their course or because they were intercepted.

I recommend that you transition instead of switching. That way you have a way to roll back If the distro you are trying out proves not to be what you expected.

These people are insane. They take children because they dare to think for themselves and have an opinion and put them in jail where they are ground broken or criminals or both. Best way to make sure to destroy a country’s future.

A water gun will also do it. You can even order one from Amazon…

Thanks for the valuable insight.

You will have to repeat that again and again, because people don’t know what LLMs are. They have been told that we have AIs and don’t understand that what they actually use are digital parrots (minus the intelligence of an actual parrot).

Why would it be?

What are principles worth if you won’t stand for them?

I recently discovered fzf-git.sh and decided that I don’t use fzf enough. For now I am experimenting with using fzf to switch git branches, to see if it integrates with my git workflow. If it proves helpful, then I’ll investigate further options.

I was confused for a minute, not understanding what (Apache) Maven has to do with social networks.

It’s nice to meet someone with a bigger pile of shame than mine. How do you pick the next game to play from that pile? And do you still add games to it? :)

May I ask why you switched back to ext4?

I just realized that I used Ubuntu for 20 years. I might be interested in switching to Fedora. How ist your experience so far?
