I still (have to) download scetchy executables on Windows when I want to install most programms, while on debian I can install most programs via apt and a few repositories. Even when it’s not a standard repo I still prefer it over random executables because while the security is just as bad at least I get updates without having to open the program itself.

But what resonated with me most have been the restarts for updates. Happened way to often that I wanted to stop working but cant just shut down windows without updates and the accompanying reboots. (If I don’t check up in between to decrypt the disk on startups it’ll just sit there and run out the battery and I have to do the restarts on the next workday). On debian I just klick the power button, it hibernates (or I shut it down if I’m in the mood) and os updates are completely seperate from that.

Besides missing dependencies or repositories for more nice software this kinda closely matches my experience though.

(Ignoring winget, becaust it is not really the mainstream way to install windows software)

What is your specific issue with this?

Tbh I often find chatbots good for edgecases which are not well-documented (or not documented at all) but hard too google because one of the (or a subset of the) keywords is just flooded with (ireelevant/) unrelated garbage.

Then I needed something in Power Bi.

I am so sorry. I hope you are ok.

I don’t understand why so many organizations make it so hard to donate. Why do I need to enter my name and e-mail only to discover you don’t support european banks. It cannot be that complicated to set up an eu-bankaccount and publish the IBAN to just let me wire money, right?

Fixed it

Not like I expect couchfuckerrapist to be any better then the regular rapist.

Plus the whole exploiting poor people thing: https://www.engadget.com/2020-01-19-opera-accused-of-predatory-loan-apps.html?guccounter=1

Thanks, yeah I’m not so fovused atm. But defenetly still too many homless folk.

So like 1 in 50 500 pll is homeless? That’s crazy. Ther is not even a significant crisis or war directly affecting the US.

Edit: I can’t read

Edit II : OK, reading was fine (on the first go) I just did my math with 1million = 100* thousand … I am tired and have a cold, please excuse my many fumbles in this comment xD.

Maybe a stupid question, but how do paid streaming services avoid that issue?

installs Firefox LSR

(I am still very happy having made the switch to debian, although I would like to switch to plasma 6 at some point xD)

Whats on there? I just get an access denied message.

Police?

So?

The plastic box with plastic probably has a notable RF signal which can be traced?

You can still see which vpn you are using, which is likely the rout they’d go. That and going after the private VPN providers.

Neither does Voyager (Wefwef) :(

Nyt and Guardian seem fine, (in)directly quoting the idf.

can anyone help me figure out, why the following shell script does not work:

#!/bin/bash
while IFS= read -d $'\0' -r "dir" ; do 
      dir=${dir:2};
      echo "${dir}"\#;
      cd "'""${dir}""'" ;
      ls;
      ##doing something else
     # cd  ..;
done < <(find ./  -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d -print0)

I am running it in a location with a lots of folders containing spaces (think of it like this:

/location containing spaces# ls
'foo ba' 'baa foo ' 'tee pot'

I get errors of the following form:

script.sh: line 5: cd: 'baa foo ': No such file or directory

but when I manually enter cd 'baa foo' it works fine. Why could that be? (the echo retuns something like “foo baa #” .) It really confuses me that the cd with the exact same string works when I enter it manually. I have allready tried leaving out the quotes in the cd command and escaping the spaces using dir=$(printf %q "${dir}"); before the cd but that did not work either.

tbh I am new to shell scripts so maybe there is something obvious I overlooked.
