Basic Lemmy works without JS. Some stuff breaks, but it's still usable.

It aligns with the context and their post history suggests they know how to use words. There is nothing bad with explaining rhetorics, but doing it like this comes through as belittling.

Your GUI tool is probably running apt under the hood. You can find the PID of the apt process and do something like this:

waitpid <pid> && poweroff

If you are afraid it has something to do after the apt process dies, you can add some additional arbitrary delay like this:

waitpid <pid> && sleep <seconds> && poweroff

This makes it sound as if women never commit violence against men, which is just not true. Most people are not always on edge ready to fight for their life, fights are not always decided by whoever is physically stronger.

And even though it's a crime to beat someone in most countries, this sort of violence, especially if it's of sexual nature, is probably somewhere around the most underreported ones.

If a man tells someone he was beaten by a woman, he is automatically a laughingstock material, because "oh, men are physically stronger than women, no way that happened". It's even worse for rape, because there is no concept of men not consenting to sex in the "traditional" masculinity image.

MPV is pretty much a gold standard for video players, it's a bit more keyboard focused, but basic functionality is fully accessible through the GUI.

But I don't think VLC should struggle with embedded subtitles. Maybe you can feed your video file to ffprobe and share the output for a bit of troubleshooting?

I'm yet to find a person who likes Snap, actually. Even if you prefer that way of installation, people just go to Flatpak.

Stop teaching people how to scream, please.

Could have just used class E addresses, at least then it would look intentional insead of brainless.

Not really about piracy, but doing language exchanges is a great way to learn a language. You teach someone your language, they teach you theirs. It's free and it gives you more knowledge than any book. Natural languages don't work with strict rules usually, natives speak by feel, the only way to learn that feel is by interacting with people.

For the love of all that's saint, can we please stop recommending Manjaro to people, especially newbies?

It's not really a preference thing, Manjaro team did plenty of questionable stuff with it, as in DDoSing AUR, mind you, twice, or letting their server certificates expire, also more than once.

It also routinely shows more stability issues that led to the infamous "I swear to god, if it's Manjaro again..." in AUR discussions. Apart from AUR problems, they also shipped alpha quality things to their users, like this and this.

I've used Manjaro myself for around a month. If you are treating it as a regular Arch installation, you will break it.

If you want something up to date, but more stable than Arch, just use Fedora. If you insist on it being Arch-based, use something like CachyOS. Or you can read the wiki and install Arch itself. Arch is a DIY distro, after all.

I call this part "shut up, tin can, I know what I'm doing".

Sometimes you just don't care about these 42 files find couldn't access. If I don't have permissions to read them, I'm not interested!

There is no such thing as "zeroith". Does not matter which numbers you slap on the tables, the one with the lowest number will always be the first. The word "first" has nothing to do with indices, it's just an antonym for "last".
