It’s either this fairy tale, or its flip side, the myth that ‘private vices’ somehow add up to ‘public virtues’.

A pedantic thing to say, surely, but the title really should’ve been: “Linux Directory Structure” – ‘Linux filesystems’ (the title in the graphic) refers to a different topic entirely; the title of this post mitigates the confusion a bit, though still, ‘directory structure’ is the better term.

That is a great change to the papers of the past where you have to have an affiliation to a university to get access to a paper and sometimes even that is not enough.

‘Oxford Scholarship Online’ would license different sets of books to different departments; so someone from the philosophy department couldn’t get access to books classified under sociology or history.

Imagine doing something similar at the checkout table in a ‘physical’ library.

There’s a less capable Mv3 port of uBlock Origin by the original developer, called ‘uBlock Origin Lite’: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ddkjiahejlhfcafbddmgiahcphecmpfh

I use Chromium only very rarely, so I don’t know how effective it is, though.

Here’s another video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PriwCi6SzLo (including an interview with the great Alexandra Elbakyan).

Cory Doctorow recently wrote about this in some detail (incl. helpful links): https://pluralistic.net/2024/08/16/the-public-sphere/#not-the-elsevier

The name of the pdf file inside the torrent is its md5 hashsum without the .pdf extension.

On libgen.rs you can see the md5 hashsum on the download page; on libgen.li you need to look at the JSON file provided at the link on the search result , as they don’t render it on the ui.

The torrents are alive; as long as you can get the torrent links from libgen, you have access to the files. (No need to share whole archives either, you can pick & choose).

If you’re using the ‘Pro’ or ‘Education’ license for Windows 10, you can look into Hyper-V, which should allow you to boot a VM from a physical disk.

Hyper-V is built-in to Windows; & you just need to enable it in system settings.

Not sure if it works with partitions, if you’re dual booting the OSs from separate partitions on the same disk – it probably doesn’t; in which case you might need to migrate Mint to its dedicated disk first.

Wouldn’t enabling the --system-site-packages flag during venv creation do exactly what the OP wants, provided that gunicorn is installed as a system package (e.g. with the distro’s package manager)? https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html

Sharing packages between venvs would be a dirty trick indeed; though sharing with system-site-packages should be fine, AFAIK.

I believe the original SUSE Linux started as a bunch of helper scripts for installing Slackware.

They’ve confused economic reality with their own ideal reality.

… and the irony in this statement is overwhelming, after the fairy tale you’ve just outlined about those providing the most value to society gathering the most power & influence.

The Nyxt browser – webkit as rendering engine, extensible by Common Lisp – was making good progress, though its progress slowed down considerably lately; and there are a few ‘showstoppers’ preventing everyday usage, at least for me.

No because the caption under the first image says that SUSE’s mascot is a ‘gecko named Geeko’ – which cannot be farther from the truth, for it is a Chameleon named Geeko, that is the mascot of SUSE. Aye.

BezOS … that’s Amazon Linux though.

vim now has an option to put the .vim folder in ~/.config; though I’m not sure if the default plugin/package & syntax folders can be set under ~/.local/share.

XP, to OS X 10.4-10.8, to Linux

IIRC this issue is mentioned in the gitlab discussions (from months ago … not sure how this became news suddenly); they’re looking to patch Inter if they decide to use it as the UI font.

Qt based file managers (PCManFM, Dolphin) usually have a filter input that’s quite useful. It’s limited to the current folder, and not a fuzzy finder, though.

It’s to out-compete the competitors so as not to become obsolete. … also I hope you’re aware that I’m saying all of this ‘ironically’, to poke fun at the mental gymnastics in the OP’s post.

The prize of the competition is what the competitors compete for. There’s a prize and the winner gets it; the loser doesn’t get it.

Why is this so hard to understand? I guess it’s nature’s way of weeding out the losers.
