The other day it was a person's birthday and on messenger on the "Highlights" tab a button appeared to wish them happy birthday with AI...

(Hoping I didnt miss any detail and doxxed myself)

Your nose isn't runny, but can you breathe easily ~~through both nostrils~~?🥲

I still havent transitioned to debian (still have win10 as main), I'm just booting to them from an external drive, so I can simply wipe the root partition any time I want to try a distro :)

Once I settle with a distro and manage to set it up the way I want, I will probably fully switch to linux (and maybe keep an image of my win10 os to run in a vm)

Storage wasn't my biggest issue (besides, I have 1tb internal ssd). It was that flatpaks couldnt communicate well with the rest of the environment. So I resorted to using flatpaks mainly for closed source apps that I wanted to isolate.

BUT, as I was making a script (https://github.com/BlastboomStrice/3rdPartyAutoUpdater) to automate github/gitlab/etc. updates (because the debian repo doesnt have them or they are outdated), I realized that I was essentially making a small scale version of nixos package manager.😆

So, now I'm very tempted to use the nix package manager and maybe do a full switch to NixOS (I'm not very advanced though, I havent even tried Arch, so ughh).

My mood concearning what distro to use on my laptop is rather volatile😅

Yeah, I see what you mean.

I initially thought about using flatpaks for almost every non-core app, but then I found out that 1) it's hard for flatpak apps to communicate with the rest of the system and 2) for a 10Mb app, 1+Gb might be downloaded. So, I'm trying to avoid these too🥲

Also, some packages dont even have flatpaks, so I grab packages from github (and installing .deb packages on testing may lead to failed installs due to missing dependencies....)🥲

I see I see, thank you for you quick reply. This tempts me even more to use sid, hmm.

This is a different question from the original post, but do you happen to know what to do when listbugs warns me that a package has bugs? I suppose almost all packages have some bugs to some degree. Should I just avoid them on Sid? Or should I check how bad the bug is (if it belongs to a serious category) and decide whether to update it?

Ok I got my answer😬😅

Thanks🧡

I personally try to avoid gendered language, but if I do use it, I tend to check their profile-bio :)

To not keep you waiting any further, I want to let you know I'll probably not do that. Besides, I havent ever edited wikipedia.😅 I havent even tried the program yet. Thank you creating this, if I check the program in the future I'll see what I can do.

(I suppose you have talked to the appropriate wikipedia mainteners, right?)

Also if anyone else sees this and adds it, please let us know.

I dont understand😅

 

Greetings,

When downloading books from zlibrary, the top option is the format which is stated in the description, with "basic format" added in the end. The rest of the options may include the same format without the "basic format" tag in the end and they are slightly bigger.

What's their difference? Is it the same document re-formated to the same format thus making it slightly bigger or does it have anything extra?

Like, supposing there's a book which is a pdf. The options may be:

  • pdf basic format 1.2mb
  • pdf 1.25mb
  • epub 1mb

What's the difference between the first two?

PS. My first post on lemmy!🙃
