Soo... Trying marijuana once is the only place you can move from your current position, and once you do that your only choices are either meth addiction or returning to your previous position?

Je veux bien d'un "réarmement démographique" si c'est avec ces armes-là !

Oki-doki, I won't!

Yep, postmarketOS uses systemd now, but in addition to OpenRC, it's since march 5th 2024. Alpine itself didn't switch to systemd. Also, thanks to your comment I noticed I actually got Artix and Alpine slightly mixed up when making this page, might edit later.

Anon didn't make up the rules, and I wouldn't wager that he was the one who decided to start that game. Everyone chose to play knowing they wouldn't be comfortable getting anon. It doesn't seem to me like anon made any advance at all. Rejecting someone's advances for whatever reason is not morally incorrect, nor is denying them physical displays of affection. But going up to someone unprompted and telling them you find them unattractive and wouldn't feel comfortable touching them is. This seem like an intermediate situation where they willingly and knowingly created a situation where they would have to do the latter. Refusing to kiss or touch anon wasn't the fault here, initiating the game was.

En vrai si tu installes le module "Ruffle", un émulateur de flash, tu peux encore jouer aux jeux flashs que tu trouves encore en ligne. C'est juste le module officiel adobe flash player qui est parti. Mais ça me surprend quand même aussi...

Very nice. I hope Blue Sky becomes compatible with Activitypub soon, so I can follow the artist.

We invented the word "living", we get to chose what it refers to. We are necessarily right, because this is a truth we create, not a transcendent one. If we collectively decide to change the definition of "living" to include viruses, we will still be right but it won't mean we were wrong before.

Few hips would be articulate enough to convey any precise message, which would be necessary to lie. Hers have the speed and precision required to formulate lies, in morse code for example.

Like, you can see a leaf on and think "wow, that's a beautiful leaf". You may even pick it up to admire it (especially if you're a child or a biologist). You wouldn't do that with a strand of human hair, a human nail clipping, or even less with the parts that aren't supposed to come off like hands or eyes.

The word "elsewhere" conveniently exist to spare us the chore of saying "somewhere else". Why then do we waste or time saying "someone else" or "some other time"?

"You" can either mean the second person (Shakira in this case) or people in general.
Therefore, "I never really knew you could danc like this" can mean either "I didn't know you (Shakira) were able to dance like this." or "I didn't know it was humanly possible to dance like this". It is usually context that tells these interpretations apart, for example, the first one would only make sense if Wyclef already knows Shakira. But is Wyclef's character supposed to know Shakira's in the story of the song?

Two lines later, he asks her "Como te llamas?", which seems to imply that he doesn't. #However he later also says "Shakira, Shakira", even tho she hasn't answered yet, implying he did know her name. What gives?

I'm not sure either why he keeps saying "No fighting".

TL:DR : I just want xterm to not do anything special when I start typing ctrl+shift+u so I can write special character, so I must remove the ctrl+u default keybind.

I'm using xterm on a laptop (no discrete gpu and pretty bad integrated graphics, so gpu-accelerated ones like kitty are counterproductive, and I use i3 so an xorg based one sounds better). I also like using vim.

I'm also using a qwerty keyboard, but sometimes write in French and need accents. I've memorized the codes for those I often need, like ctrl+maj+u+e+9 for é, but it doesn't work in xterm because it executes the ctrl+u keybind (delete previous characters and then types "(" (because it's maj+9).

So, following online guides, I've created a .Xresource file with the following code:

XTerm.VT100.translations: #override \n\
   Ctrl <Key>U: none

And I also added the line

exec xrdb ~/.Xresources

But to no avail, even when restarting the x session or manualy running xrdb ~/.Xresources.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello!

I recently moved, bringing both my laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad X131e running Debian) and my desctop (msi A320m pro motherboard, amd ryzen 5 cpu, running Arch).

My desktop didn't have a wifi card (I'd removed it to add a graphic card, my mobo didn't fit them both), it uses ethernet, but it turns out my new place has wifi included, but no ethernet. I'll grab my wifi card where I left it in two weeks, but in the meantime I wanted to connect my computer to my laptop so I could still use it with internet sometimes.

I followed this guide to accomplish it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Internet_sharing Regarding the parts where there are several options:

-For step 2.3.1 (Enable Nat) I used nftables, since that's what I had installed

-For step 2.4 I chose to manually add an IP

After that, the ethernet indicator at the bottom of my screen (I use i3) shows the address I added in green, so it should work... Alas, when I try updating or pinging any site, I get the "Temporary failure in name resolution" error. That is before I try to change anything about my dns conf. At the end, the wiki says "configure a dns server for each client". The client should already have a dns since I've been using it with ethernet. I tried manually setting the dns in mtui t see if that did something, but it just made the connection no longer work at all.

So, what part might I be doing wrong? Thank you in advance if you have any advice, and thank you anyway for reading!

Des erreurs ont été commises

Un nombre insuffisant de chaussures a été emmené lors du déménagement.

Des chaussures ont été mises sans chaussettes, qui n'auraient dût être portées qu'avec.

Du bicarbonate de sodium a été mis pour absorbé l'humidité, jusque-là sans beaucoup d'effet.

Les souliers retrouveront-ils une odeur tolérable ?

Seul le temps nous le dira, l'histoire reste encore à écrire.

Only one page this time, but the color is back... Sorta, I'm experimenting different methods.
