iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Once they understand the concept —or at least know of it— you can reveal the convenient existence of a word for it in the vocabulary of the other language. This is especially useful for monoglots, who often struggle with conceptualising anything not explicitly labelled by their native language.

Communication tip: When explaining a concept to someone that doesn't exist in their language, you need to bypass their bamboozle filters. Don't start by telling them the word or about the concept — this is what will trigger their bamboozle filter. Instead, start by explaining the concept.

#SlopCode is the new #VibeCode — and don't let anyone forget it

The solution was to run file compression on the the Windows OS files and on most of the programme files. I reclaimed about 7GB, and finally Photoshop would launch.

If you are peaceful during times of systemic violence, you are not peaceful, you are enforcing the stance of the oppressors. And you do so because the systemic violence isn't affecting you or people close to you.

Photoshop is such a lil twerp. Even with 9GB free space, it refuses to run because "the scratch disks are full". Well I even attached a second SSD with 70GB free but it didn't accept that (despite it working fine last week)

so like will there be a public notice when Armageddon officially starts or what

If you're having trouble with updates in Arch right now, if it's about libvpx, probably one package depends on an older version. For my installation, it turns out that the chaotic-aur build of waterfox is outdated. Luckily someone packaged a binary build in the aur (thanks 🙏)

more reasons to abandon systemD "Disallow usage of generative AI to write code #41085" -- "Closed as not planned" Poettering & Bluca, both microsoft shills, weigh in on how they adore "AI" and then closed the issue. Linux is being destroyed & betrayed from within. github.com/systemd/syst...

Plasma is becoming moreso too but we're hoping they don't go ahead along that path with recent laws and news. (Unfortunately, they probably will, as most of the devs are of the privileged classes so they are unable to recognise the threat posed by the new laws).

Distro notes: - Christ, apt is slow as hell - also, non-rolling-releases are sooo out of date all the time 😭 - KDE plasma is literal decades ahead of gnome - remember that gnome and nearby derivatives are tightly integrated with systemD so they're a no-go.

Additionally, development of other projects had decreased due to the ubiquity of systemD, so it's harder to find apps designed to function agnostically. But with a bit of effort, sysV is fine.

Notes may apply only to current versions in Debian/Devuan — I haven't tested the latest packages in a rolling release like Arch/Artix yet. SystemD-less setup is functional and fine to use, just a bit weird and uncomfortable because we've become so used to the ease of systemD.

... So I upgraded to Devuan Excalibur (testing, 7.0). It was a nightmare but I finally got a well-working system! Init is sysV. Notes: lightDM can't log in to Wayland sessions. Sddm can't run a Wayland login screen.
