Rankine and Kelvin have zero at the same point, which is absolute zero, and should not be used with the degree symbol

This concludes my TED talk

Do not copy and paste into Bash if you don't understand the commands you're pasting in

Most of our gun violence is actually pistols, but they're certainly not legally owned

This is the biggest thing. I'm very comfortable in Bash, but that is not the norm; the second my wife needs to run sudo apt get, she's out, fuck that

I was thinking more that the whole pointing a pistol at the sun is awful fucking American

As a Canadian, I'm piping in to say that no, they probably don't mean me

It's probably the standard in both POSIX and the Single UNIX Specification, so I guess ask Ken Thompson?

LxQt is nice, it is barebones like Xfce, but built on the Qt framework like KDE. Xfce uses GTK, like GNOME.

Stop fucking creating terrorists. America can't though, creating terrorists is their favorite pastime

I specifically like Xfce or LxQt, because I generally run older hardware; I suppose my biggest question is how easily I could use either (not overly picky about which). I'm not sure which desktop environment LMDE defaults to, but both Gnome and KDE are deal-breakers for me, unless it's easily changeable.

I don't have that problem on my actual Debian machines, because they're headless anyways, there is no desktop environment at all

I've been curious about LMDE, I use the Xfce version of regular Mint, but am comfortable in Debian (at least, server Debian). How does LMDE compare?

 

When reading a web page within Connect, it would be nice if long-pressing on links in the webpage would give a popup with the option to open the link in an external browser (and probably also an option to just copy the link). I frequently find myself linked to Wikipedia from a Lemmy comment, and then want to open other links from that wiki page, so then I have to open the page I'm on externally and refind my spot in the article.

Having the same options when long-pressing a link in a comment/post would be nice as well.

 

Edit: there's already a setting for it, another user pointed it out. Ignore me :)

~~Currently, when you block an instance or community, it's blocked app-wide. I had blocked various NSFW communities and instances on my main account so that they don't show up in my All feed, but now I can't access them from my NSFW account unless I use a different app to do so, or repeatedly unblock and reblock them as needed.~~

~~Can we instead make block lists on a per-account basis (or have the option of account-associated or global blocking)?~~

 

The text when I try to type comments (but not the text in the search bar or, as I'm just now learning, here in the 'post body' text box) is white, and I can't find the setting to change it. Obviously I could change my background back to the default blue that it was, but that's the opposite of a solution.

Anybody know?
