Blocking people is self care! Especially toxic ones!
This is completely unrelated to your problem:
The calibre website recommends extremely strongly against using their software packaged by anyone else other than calibre themselves as they are often (see usually) buggy or extremely outdated.
It may be worth it to manually “install” the app from their website somewhere in your ~/.local/ and see if you have less issues using the official package.
I’ve found that a lot of apps with touch gestures need Touchégg to work correctly, could be worth a shot to give it an install. I use a converted macbook, and for any gestures to work with the apple trackpad at all I have to have touchegg, my partner has it on her converted pixelbook go to make the trackpad not feel awful there too.
I’m too dumb to set up Wayland on Nvidia and honestly don’t really care to. My laptop has an intel haswell-ult so it works with Wayland ootb and all the apps I use on it (literally just calibre, falkon, lapce and libreoffice Writer) work fine.
Edit: spelling
The meme reads as “if you can’t do these things you’re dumb” the things you’ve typed as examples of how coding is done nowadays are similar to things that any beginner would be typing into a search engine as well.
Your meme doesn’t compare between coding practices, it compares between the results of early programmers doing the absolute most with the hardware that was purpose built for their needs to people who literally don’t know how to program looking up information and progressing their knowledge.
As a beginning programmer, this is extremely discouraging and makes me want to do something else with my time.
Instead of punching down at those who are clearly undertrained, you should elevate those around you. Being a dick about it doesn’t seem like a good use of your time.
How would I check that?
Edit: actually, Lemme just rtfm
Barely a week later and I had to do the thing. My partner uses LMDE and Nvidia 535 is the newest version in their repos, but we need nvidia 565+ for Kingdom Hearts 3.
Installing from the website wasn’t as hard as I remember.
I was today years old when I realized I can install packages non-privelaged if I leverage ~/.local/
Installing Nvidia drivers from official repos provided by the maintainers of your distro? Easy as pie.
Installing Nvidia drivers from nvidia’s website? Good luck my friend, I hope you know what you’re doing.
OpenSuse sometime around '07
It didn’t click, ended up moving to Ubuntu almost immediately. A few years later I moved to Fedora. Circa 2020 I dove into Archlinux and managed that for a couple years. Nowadays as I’m learning server stuff I’ve switched to Mint.
There is exactly one type of noob that should be using arch and that’s the kind that has already built an Exocar or at least understands why somebody would.
Hi, 28 here, Roblox came out when I was in middle school, therefore this could be a whole ass Roblox adult, not a Roblox kid.
Honestly, instead of playing shitty clones of games made with child labor through roblox, just play the original games they’re cloning.
Couple of weeks ago I was at a friends place for dinner and the son was playing Roblox. Everyone in the room except him knew he was playing a WoW clone. His dad even told him, “you know I’ll buy you a subscription if you wanna play the real game instead of a shitty clone”
Don’t play Roblox. Its just cheap imitations made with child labor.
Ehhhh I disagree that package managers handle cleanup correctly, I’ve certainly had tons of dotfiles left in ~/ mucking things up when reinstalling apps, even those that have been purged by package managers.
The package manager, much like the windows installer/uninstaller, relies on the developer to be responsible in declaring how the package is meant to be managed. If users have manual steps at installation, they will have manual steps at uninstallation as well.
Just because it means a public shag on terf island doesn’t mean the rest of the English speaking g world uses it that way.
Android emulators exist on both windows and Linux allowing the android variant to run on desktop. With most modern machines this is a viable alternative to running natively, with some overhead of course.
Since you seem to understand it then:
How do two clients communicsting over a proprietary network negotiate an end to end encrypted chat channel without sharing keys in an easily decrypted manner?
It seems to me that some kind of handshake needs to occur where the clients need to agree on a cypher, so how does this happen securely?
I’m not worried about encryption being broken, it just seems like if you’re handing the keys over the mail, it’s pretty easy to xray the package and copy the key, is the same not true over digital communication?
Not by default, but yea it is encrypted, I use almost exclusively encrypted chats through TG, even my voice and video calls are encrypted through TG.
E2e encryption is security theater though, a chance for companies to tell states “We’D lOvE tO hAnD oVeR tHaT dAtA bUt ItS eNcYpTeD”.
In reality, it doesn’t matter, if someone wants to snoop on your convos you can’t stop them.
This is an XY solution but…
Telegram and similar services offer both calling and texting and can be carried across devices. It’s linked to the same phone number, all folks would have to know is “between these hours call telegram”
Can’t use libreOffice and translate the Q code into whatever language libreCalc uses?
