To add to this, all of the packages mentioned have a -git version in the AUR. The people who really need the absolute newest version can always install these packages. The rest of the people (those who prefer stability) can continue using a slightly older, but well-tested versions of these programs.

“cis” and “trans” are prefixes denoting on what “side” something is. “cis” means “on this/our side”, while “trans” refers to “the other side”, for example:

1. “Cisalpina” is how the Romans referred to their side of the Alps (modern day Italy), while “Transalpina” referred to land on the other side of the alps.
2. There exist certain pairs of molecules with either a “cis” or “trans” prefix, depending on whether certain identical groups are on the same side or on opposite sides, respectively.

The modern use of “cis” and “trans” is generally about gender. A cisgender person is someone whose gender identity aligns with their sex assigned at birth, while a transgender person is someone for whom that doesn’t hold true.

In this meme, the person on the right is wearing a transgender flag for a shirt, and presumably offending the cisgender person on the left by calling them cis. The meme is making fun of the fact that some cisgender people consider “cis” an insult, when it really only is a neutral and non-offensive description.

The Linux mint installer has an option built-in to create a dualboot. Just follow their guide and be sure to select “install alongside windows 10” at step 5.

Funny how much the graph changes when you have more than 1 data point per decade every decade. Almost makes me wonder whether the creator of the above graph was trying to paint a certain picture instead of presenting raw data in a way that makes it easier to grasp, without bias.

Notice the inflection point where Mao implements the "great leap forward". Also notice other countries' similar rates of increasing life expectancy in the graph below, just without the same ravine around 1960.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with (what I think to be) your implicit claim that Mao somehow single-handedly raised China's life expectancy through the power of communism or whatever. Please do correct me if this wasn't your implicit claim, and if you we're either 1) yourself mislead by the graph you shared, or 2) you have some other claim entirely that is somehow supported by said graph.

Except safari of course (almost 20% market share).

Also, there are plenty of other browsers using Mozilla’s gecko engine. A quote from Wikipedia: “ Other web browsers using Gecko include GNU IceCat, Waterfox, K-Meleon, Lunascape, Portable Firefox, Conkeror, Classilla, TenFourFox.” (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecko_(software))

VLC appears to support MPRIS, so commands like

$ playerctl play-pause
$ playerctl next
$ playerctl previous

Should be able to control it. See the Relevant arch wiki page for more info.

VLC also appears to have a TUI interface. Check out the VLC wiki

Not to be an unfunny nitpicker (I don’t know why I’m denying this, that kinda the whole point), but all iphones do have lossless audio streaming via AirPlay. I’m assuming that you specifically meant Bluetooth streaming, but then you should’ve said so. Furthermore, normal aptx isn’t high resolution, only aptx HD and aptx adaptive are. The phone does support aptx HD as well, but once again, you could’ve said so from the start (though 3 characters more or less might make a significant difference to most memes, this one certainly wouldn’t have had that problem)

To add to the audio compression: it isn’t possible to further compress an mp3 file without losing any quality. You can either:

1. Recompress to a lossy codec (mp3, aac, opus). This will lead to smaller file sizes if you set the bitrate lower than that of the input file, but it will always worsen the quality, no matter the bitrate.
2. Recompress to a lossless format (flac easily being the best one). Going from a lossy to a lossless format will increase the file size (sometimes by quite a substantial amount), while keeping the same quality. There is very little reason for you to do this
3. keep the original files (my recommendation)

If you’re willing to spend some extra time learning about audio compression, you can download lossless files and compress those directly to whatever format and bitrate you want. The quality will be better than option 1 above, as the audio is only lossely compressed once instead of twice.

MPV has automatic native wayland support, VLC doesn’t (yet, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VLC_media_player#Wayland_support)

I haven’t found any other large differences in functionality when it comes to simply playing video (only thing I use either one for).

(un)expected factorial? 1,30767e12 wipes seems like a lot. I guess you never specified currency, but at an average cost of 3,0581e-11 per wipe, I’ll assume that that’s a pretty decent deal.

If the installer is small enough (<650MB I believe), you can upload it to virustotal.com to have it be scanned by ~65 antivirus programs

There is an “TI-nspire CXII connect” web app from Texas Instruments themselves. You can find it by going to the webpage of your calculator, and then going to the software section (https://education.ti.com/en/products/calculators/graphing-calculators/ti-nspire-cx-ii-cx-ii-cas/software-overview). If you scroll down far enough (past all the teacher/student software) you’ll see a small section about nspire connect. This should lead you to the following website: https://nspireconnect.ti.com/?ref_url=https%3a%2f%2feducation.ti.com%2fen%2fproducts%2fcalculators%2fgraphing-calculators%2fti-nspire-cx-ii-cx-ii-cas%2fsoftware-overview. This should allow you to update your OS, send and receive files, etc.

fuseren met een partij die rechts van ons ligt

Vooral economisch verschillen ze niet zo gek veel. Zie het meest recente kieskompas van de tweede kamer.

gelooft in kapitalisme

Als ik me niet vergis geloven alle Nederlandse partijen in zekere mate in het kapitalisme. Er is een reden dat de CPN al ruim 30 jaar niet bestaat. Alle linkse partijen willen het echter hervormen naar een meer sociale vorm van kapitalisme.

I believe SSD’s don’t actually experience wear when reading data, only when writing. Loading more data from SSD’s shouldn’t cause any premature failure. Overwriting more data each update could cause the drive to fail slightly earlier, but if that’s really that big of a concern, you’d be best of moving to Debian stable (no updates means no SSD writes).

If SSD wear prevention is really that big of a concern, you might be interested in profile-sync-daemon (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Profile-sync-daemon). It reduces writes to hard drives by keeping your browser profile in RAM, and only periodically syncing it to disk.

Though I must add that SSD’s wearing out really isn’t that much of an issue with modern drives. With normal usage, a drive will become obsolete long before it actually wears out.

You mean deeper than Lviv, which they have been striking from day 1 of the invasion? How much deeper can Russia still strike?

Are you just running and AMD CPU with integrated graphics, or do you also have a dedicated graphics card? From what I can gather online, the DRI_PRIME variable is mostly used for render offloading to a dedicated GPU, but your question appears to be about iGPUs.

You can also try to manually enable hardware decoding in VLC’s settings. Just go to Tools > Preferences > Input & Codecs and choose VA-API (AMD’s preferred standard).

Interessante analyse, al heb ik (als mede links-progressieve rakker) wel een paar kleine opmerkingen:

• Verlagen van lasten door een schijf toe te voegen klinkt heel leuk, maar ik ben heel benieuwd hoe ze dat willen combineren met de extra uitgaven voor kinderopvang, de halvering van het eigen risico en de 4.7 miljard bezuiniging. Misschien blijkt dit kabinet over een klein legertje briljante economen te beschikken die deze extra uitgaven (zonder duidelijke extra inkomsten) in goede banen weten te leiden, maar tot nu toe hebben niet alle partijen (kuche BBB kuche) blijk gegeven van dat economische inzicht.
• De 130km/h is alleen “waar mogelijk”, wat dat ook precies mag betekenen. Marginaal minder slecht, maar nog steeds een verergering van het stikstofprobleem die we echt niet nodig hebben.
• Het schrappen van subsidies voor elektrische auto’s had ik wel aan zien komen, maar ik zou het toch zeker in de categorie “erg jammer” plaatsen. Als hun plan is om het OV zo verschrikkelijk goed te regelen dat auto’s overbodig worden vind ik het helemaal prima, maar met de VVD aan boord betwijfel ik dat. Elektrische auto’s zijn niet perfect, maar wel een flinke verbetering ten opzichte van auto’s met een verbrandingsmotor; het zou dus mooi zijn als meer mensen die overstap kunnen maken.

Om dan nu wat van het artikel af te dwalen:

• In de peilingen van eergisteren staat de PVV op 47 zetels, dus 10 zetels winst. Ik ben eerlijk gezegd best verbaasd dat ze zo veel lijken in te leveren, gezien zij de enige partij zijn die baat zou hebben bij herverkiezing (VVD -6, NSC -12, BBB -1). Ondanks dat leek de onderhandelingspositie van de NSC haast de sterkste van de 4; je kan veel zeggen over Omtzigt, maar hij lijkt een ijzersterke onderhandelaar.
• Ik ben positief verrast over het ontbreken van voorstellen omtrent de LHBTI+ gemeenschap (voornamelijk transgender personen). Na de enigszins achterbakse motie om de transgenderwet in te trekken had ik wel iets in het akkoord verwacht. Overigens heeft NSC het kleine beetje respect dat ik voor hen had verloren door die motie in te dienen. Is dit de fraaie politiek die NSC beweert te willen beschermen?
• Ik ben heel benieuwd hoe dit kabinet de EU een beetje te vriend wil houden. Aan de ene kant zou het kunnen dat ze haar handen al zo vol heeft aan Orban dat het kabinet vrijuit krijgt. Aan de andere kant zie ik het ook wel gebeuren dat ze alles dat in de globale richting van een 2e Hongarije gaat in de kiem smoort.
• Mijn levensverwachting voor dit kabinet is iets minder dan 2 jaar. Omtzigt lijkt het hele proces lang bereid geweest te zijn uit de formatie te stappen; wie weet doet hij dat alsnog. Ik zie het ook gebeuren dat de PVV plotseling een ruggengraat krijgt en het kabinet laat klappen omdat de migratieregels alsnog niet ver genoeg gaan (flashbacks naar Rutte-I en Rutte-IV).

I have about 0 experience with openssl, I just looked at the man page (openssl-enc). It looks like this command doesn’t take a positional argument. I believe the etcBackup.key file isn’t being read, as that command simply doesn’t attempt to read any files without a flag like -in or -out. I could be wrong though, see previously stated inexperience.
