girl enters arihi's house for a fun asm & chill session. she even brought her laptop with a fancy monospace coding font. hours pass by. when she leaves - only terminus is installed! no more iosevka. no more noto sans mono. no more fira code or cascadia. no fancy coding font. only terminus. and there's many cases like that!

if i get a scam email i tend to reply from my dedicated mailbox and drag out the scam to get the banking/payment info and try to shut the scammer's account down, but it's getting increasingly rare that i get any cooperation from the bank. many times banks will only accept calls, or have their own custom forms that disallow anything besides letters and spaces, or don't accept messages beyond a specific character limit, or just don't accept anything at all. i'd say the success rate of actually getting a single message through is ~25% (that won't mean that the scammer's account will be taken down)
on the other hand, knowing which banks are hard to reach with abuse reports i also know which banks to use if you wanna scam someone.

a few times i've seen a young woman in public transport be approached by someone who is pushy and probably under influence and starts flirting with her despite her being uncomfortable and not being interested at all and right away a guy nearby approaches them to kick the weirdo out... but so far in all instances the guy's girlfriend stops him from helping, because "don't get involved with that" and "you're embarrassing me in public" and "let's just leave them alone"
like... i thought that there'd be at least a bit of solidarity between women in such situations and that one should be proud of their boyfriend who steps in to help someone who needs it but apparently not

@nprofile…vqps the kernel doesn't care, the user probably does care about what's on their machine.
i genuinely think that despite its flaws pacman is the most sensible from the ones i've encountered, apt will complain about broken packages if any little things goes wrong, dnf takes ages to complete a transaction, apk is kinda decent but not my favorite.
guix was cool when i tried it but i prefer the more traditional package manager experience, maybe i just need to get used to it. then there's snap and flatpak which are very far from being sensible.

@nprofile…2mzm @nprofile…leww because it's the modern times, no one knows real programming languages anymore and javascript is all the rage, the developers who write it don't care about the performance on user's side because it presumably runs okay for them.
signal-desktop is 427.12 megabytes on arch (not counting dependencies), which is almost double the size of firefox and around thrice the size of the default kernel.

2025-08-23 00:04:37 UTC

what's even the deal with all these so-called "privacy" chat software being mobile-first? mobile devices are notoriously privacy disrespecting and using one as a main way to use your software seems silly.
signal, session, deltachat all have mobile clients where the effort goes and for computers there's a half-broken ugly electron client that's apparently only an afterthought.

@nprofile…vdjy how would compulsive sexual behavior be not detrimental to one's life? if thinking of sexual activities are the main focus of one's life to the detriment of other aspects it seems like that'd be bad enough.
there are people who are occupied thinking about sexual activities excessively and i did have the displeasure of talking to a few of them.
but yeah, if there's something that a person wants to quit but struggles to, people are quick to call it addiction even if the term is incorrect.
even if one is religious and wants to quit pornography and struggles with it, there's no way to fix it other than adjusting one's morals (which people aren't going to take up easily) or just forcing themselves to quit porn eventually. a religious person might consume less pornography than a similar non-religious person but if they deem that their porn use is excessive and is affecting their life negatively it makes sense to stop. and they might struggle because porn makes brain feel good and human brain works in a way where it wants to feel good.
if their sexual behavior is in line with psychology but not in line with their religious beliefs then i don't see anything wrong with consulting the clergy if they wish so (but it doesn't make sense for the non-religious population).

@nprofile…vdjy but does it really matter to an average person what it's classified as? i get that it's not the correct scientific term, but when people talk about pornography "addiction" (and therefore talk about compulsive behavior caused by pornography) the concept still stands even if the wrong term is used.
many of these articles make it seem like there's no such a thing as excessive pornography consumption and that it doesn't have bad effects on human behavior.

@nprofile…pkrl @nprofile…vqps i live somewhere near the middle of europe and we have fiber optic and it's not so unusual to have a good internet, but many times even this "good internet" will be sloved down to like 10% of what you're meant to have.
once my network reached 60 megabytes per second when my family member used it to download a game to an xbox machine so i know it's capable of high speeds, but from that day i've never seen it go past 10 megabytes which is already a rare occasion.
my only guess is partly isp throttling, partly the website i'm visiting slowing me down artificially.

@nprofile…vqps @nprofile…pkrl yeah, overall 3 megabytes is bad but it's what i've had my whole life so i'm used to it. i don't use any services that require fast internet and when i want to watch something i download it first; however speeds below 1 megabyte per second already kinda hinder even the basic usage of the internet.

2025-03-29 11:04:25 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…pkrl 3 megabytes per second is already super luxurious
there is a mix of internet being actually bad and artificial throttling - when i update my system i get 5-10 megabytes per second on the update mirror, my own site doesn't throttle me either, but for regular web browsing and downloading 1 megabyte per second is the "good" result you'll get in here

2025-03-28 23:39:22 UTC

i started a download at 3 megabytes per second (mistake) and now i'm throttled to 150 kilobytes per second again, as it should be

@nprofile…2mzm no, the point of the rust coreutils is to be a replacement of gnu coreutils with the exact same functionality (and to fully replace {core,diff,find}utils according to them) but even then it's early and not every option and functionality is implemented and it's pretty tough to get every single detail to be 1:1 compatible. their repo states that "all programs have been implemented, some options might be missing or different behavior might be experienced".
that's why i could bet that this change in ubuntu can only result in more breakage with no upsides.

2025-03-20 22:53:13 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…2mzm i mean yeah, but there could also be unknown vulnerabilites in the rust implementation, it's a fact of how software works. maybe even a bigger chance than there being some in the c implementation that's been around for ages and that the majority of software uses under the hood.
what i could expect out of the situation is some scripts breaking since they expect the usual gnu implementation but instead get the rust one, something similar you can see when running scripts on embedded/mobile devices with non-gnu implementations.
even if they do eventually achieve complete feature parity i don't see much benefit for that effort since the implementation can either be equal or worse. but they're doing it anyway because we need to make it into rust, for some reason.

@nprofile…2mzm gccrust is still in a very early stage and not suitable for real compiling, according to their repo.
i'm not against rust as a language but i see absolutely no upside here, there will be no performance benefits and it's not like there's any security issues with coreutils being made in c. the change is made purely because it's rust.

https://www.phoronix.com/news/ubuntu-25.10-rust-coreutils

they ask me "why don't you just call me" and at that point i know that they ignored everything i told them yesterday, and the time before, and the time before, and the time before, and the time before, and the time before, and the time before, and the time before, and the time before, and the time before, and the time before, up to a year back, this is absolutely not the first time this happened and not the last time it will happen
like are you glued to the phone so much that you're more likely to hear that than a bell when i told you exactly at which time i will be there?
that ain't normal, i'm so tired of this shit

hi fedi!
i'm looking for a distro recommendation (not distrohopping i promise) - i want something that's lightweight and boots fast into a live system, something like tails but more general purpose.
preferably without a desktop environment but if that's not a thing then kde/xfce is fine. x11 wms preferred but tty+framebuffer is enough. the most important thing is that it boots fast.
i've been doing it with endeavouros but the time it takes to start from a usb is bad so i want to try something lighter
