Q: what does apt install firefox do? Surely it uses apt to install Firefox, right???
A: The command gets highjacked by snap, which promptly crashed and hangs.
Ran into this just a few hours ago, made the mistake of suggesting Ubuntu as a sane default (instead of debian or something else), never making that mistake again hopefully.


ollam runs on the 6700 XT, but you need to add an environment variable for it to work… I just don’t remember what it was and am away from my computer right now
Yeah, we tried using Livewire at work, wouldn’t recommend it for any usecase. Very buggy and unfinished, many times you’ll still need to fallback to JS, passing certain data types to Livewire components is just not supported.
I think there’s still something wrong with your setup… You should be able to have as many Firefox windows and tabs as you’d like without using too much RAM, since they should de “suspended”.
I regularly have hundreds of tabs running fine, on 32GB of RAM.
Most likely it’s a vscode extension that’s leaking memory, and this problem will still happen after your upgrade, just take longer.


chsh does not modify /bin/sh
Maybe you’re thinking of a certain video from a certain YouTuber who linked /bin/sh to fish?


That’s… all stow does, there’s nothing more to it. If you need some other feature don’t waste your time trying to make it work with stow, It’s just a meme in my opinion.
About the “package manager” functionality, stow was originally supposed to be a development tool for the Perl programming language, you download a bunch of libraries into a directory, then use stow to merge those files into the root of your project (like a caveman), as it turned out some people started using it to manage dotfiles, and here we are.
When I started trying to organize my dotfiles, I started with stow, but quickly found it very limited.
After that I found dotdrop, which is considerably more involved, but gives you total control. My config with dotdrop quickly started growing insanely huge, at some point I even had system-wide systemd services declared.
Then I found out I was basically reinventing nixos and home-manager, so I switched to that.

Reminder that Fedora Sericea was renamed to Fedora Sway Atomic
Does this happen on wayland, X11 or both?


Any rolling release still wins because they are at version 2024.1.9


Hahaha, there’s a video where he says this. I guess most people here don’t know about it. I think Nick shared it on mastodon, but I’m not sure now.


For me the appeal is potentially being able to verify that my code at least compiles and has basic functionality on Darwin. No idea if this can be useful for anyone other than developers.


On gnome super+left click allows you to move windows, by default.
You can also enable super+right click to resize with gnome tweaks. In my opinion this should be the default.
The only thing I know about SELinux is that the NSA made it, and that you need to add :z to docker volumes to fix permissions.
