For a successful community, this one (which I also lurk in) is oddly topic-specific. They must be doing something right. Copy them!

This is not a “YSK”, it’s just yet another post about (US…) politics.

Seriously, this problem ruined !showerthoughts@lemmy.world and it’s ruining this community too.

PS: very pertinent ongoing discussion

Yeah, true and true.

Just installed it (it’s even in the Debian-Ubuntu repo) and it’s an obvious improvement! Thanks for the tip.

Good news. These e-motos masquerading as bicycles are tarring cycling as a hobby and a mode of transport.

What I find interesting is that the first thing that comes to mind in “survival” is always hunting. Our closest animal relatives hardly hunt at all, and somehow still survive.

Excellent question. You may find the answers disappointing. Personally I use xournal for pasting signatures (sigh) into PDFs. UX is rubbish but it works. I do a bunch of other stuff to PDFs with command-line tools, which is extremely efficient and fast once it’s set up. Doubtful this will fit your requirements, alas.

As I understand it, most French-looking names in English originate either from the Norman invasion (typically aristocrats) or the Huguenot immigration of the 17th century. It’s possible that a random German immigrant would Frenchify their name to sound posher but doesn’t seem like the most obvious explanation.

Utile. Sinon, ce hara-kiri américain est vraiment une occasion en or pour faire avancer le projet politique européen. Sauf que oui, même maintenant alors que tout est aligné, ça semble toujours relever du rêve… Bon.

A spicier take still: I personally have found DDG’s AI summaries useful even without further clicking. When one’s query is purely technical (vs politics or whatever), I don’t see any need to click dutifully.

Voilà ce qui arrive quand on promeut un animateur de variétés en chef d’Etat. Personnellement les autres explications me paraissent bien trop compliquées.

Translated it into… French. Hmm.

Compare with Eliminate Sparrows campaign, where there was no “cobra effect”, but:

The campaign led to surging insect populations and poor harvests, and was one of the causes of the Great Chinese Famine

This is what RSS was invented for. Sigh.

Another example of Wikipedia’s “2010 bias”.

Perfect lighting and focus depth. Beautiful.

A German origin would make the Norman-French particle “Le” even more mysterious than it already is.

Yeah, thanks, been to all these places already,sleep included (except setsid in Wayland but I doubt that’s the crucial issue). And yes it does work, sort of - the problem is that the apps exit spontaneously at some point later - sometimes hours, sometimes days - which absolutely does not happen when I launch them in whatever “official” way. In the end I just gave up. Needing a sleep hack is a bit of a red flag after all.

And we were told cancel culture had peaked.

Tangential. I tried everything to replicate the basic function of an app launcher in a terminal - i.e. launch a GUI app while leaving the terminal unaffected and have the app survive without spontaneous combustion at some random point later - before finally giving up. Yes, background process. Yes, disown. Yes, redirect all output to null. Yes, nohup. Yes, every combination of the above. Nothing really worked. So I now have a mystical reverence for the people who write app launchers.
