no flatpak. chill.

but, he doesn’t like it, so it’s a scam. it’s not enough just to not buy it, he has to bitch about it and save the world from this evil, malignant company selling extremely customizable Linux laptops with versatile expansion options.

the alternative to gstreamer. both were precursors to pipewire, which aims to meet both use cases.

absofuckinglutely.

Always welcome. Sharing the good things is a part of the fun.

this might be ringing in late, but consider a large USB disk with Ventoy on it. you can just drop multiple ISOs on it, and then select which one you want you boot from right at boot time.

this will give you the ability to easily try multiple distros without too much commitment.

Maybe what you’re experiencing is an accurate emotional assessment of the state of our society.

Baker’s dozens, even!

living out in the woods, getting dirt on your hands, and learning to work well with feelings again.

“Ok, well, humans can’t just teleport wherever they want, but what if they could?”

well, then they could, I guess.

it wouldn’t work, because there is no unbreakable, unfoldable stick. the stick will have flex, and the force transmitted will occur much more slowly through the molecular chain of the stick than light’s travel time.

reality is much more woobly and spongy than you know.

that makes sense.

not familiar with the specific app you’re using. am I reading that right, that you’re throttling on power, current and temp?

if so, there’s not much you can do. but if it’s just temp throttling, you can get better fans/cooling.

if you’re already satisfied with fans/cooling, then yes, you’re pretty much using it to it’s max.

to be clear: throttling on power and current means you’re getting as much as you can out of the hardware you have (without over clocking or similar). although, make sure your CPU governor is ‘performance’.

throttling on temperature alone means you’re not getting the most out of you’re hardware that is technically possible, it means you’re hitting the thermal TDP of the system. for some systems (laptops, generally), there’s not much you can do there. but for others, you can tinker with cooling.

it’s often the people saying “don’t listen to all the drama” that are making drama.

chill out. the guy has relevant concerns, and they matter deeply to him. …and they matter deeply to us, the users of Linux. Rust in the kernel is a good step forward, but processes need to be in place not just for code, but for people who will be dealing with a new language in their formerly-c-only environment.

win hearts and minds, don’t just kick the nest and blame the hornets if they sting you. recognize needs, even of those who are stubborn, and address them.

back it up and put it in. classic.

did it work?

fair enough. looks like sadness for your transfers. weak usb driver for your chipset, maybe.

done in that order, with the same disk? still might be a heat issue. reverse the order. do linux first, then windows.

although, to avoid the long-unmount issue, disable caching or significantly reduce cache size, and the progress bar will be more reasonable.

This is a really good point. I generally have the opposite experience re: Linux vs windows file handling speed. But I have been throttled before by heat.

OP, start again tomorrow and try the reverse, and tell us the results.

Yeah. ‘lib’ isn’t a standard Python library, it’s the name of the abomination that this person created. Since python has quite a bit of useful introspection, they can do something like:

• get the stack
• find the exact call to abomination.add()
• reparse the text of that line, turn the text of the comment into actual numbers, and add them

Now, I don’t know if python keeps the comments around, so it may involve getting the filename and line number, reading the file, and manually extracting the comment text from that line.

capability is fine. Conflation is stupid. You can also use code to erase itself, but thinking that’s a good idea is generally wrong. But to remove that, you also remove the general ability to erase files.
