Its such a good thing to see a pretty normal part of the human experience get ripped out of every place humans gather because it makes the money holders uncomfortable.

Pretty awful changes. Doubt I’ll ever be moving to Piefed and unless it has a pretty substantial course correction gonna end up giving side eye to anyone promoting it

If you want to get real fancy with it you could do something like Nix, but honestly I would recommend Debian first almost every time

Also, after getting a job how do you learn new things. Since your job will be taking a huge chunk of your time. Education is a scam and I am a removed.

A question I’m still struggling with, but essentially the paths are self-directed learning or post-education training. Depending on your situation some employers will pay for that stuff, but uhhh good luck on that one.

I have no other interests except linux, scripting and web scraping and that’s a big problem. I really have no idea what I should learn or make.

There are a few subfields that fall under that umbrella. Linux skills are a great fit for embedded development, which is a great field if you can break in, but is very challenging. For this you’ll want to learn tools like Yocto, as well as rounding out your low level knowledge of hardware protocols and alternate embedded operating systems. Another available path would be doing back end work with databases and hosting. I’m not as familiar in this area, but you’ll want to learn docker, kubernetes, or other containerization tools.

Separately, a possible field to go for is something called “Sales engineering.” Skills for this are a bit harder to nail-down, but you should focus on tools that let you build applications quickly for demonstration purposes. Python and other interpreted languages are common. The idea for sales engineers are to be versatile and able to communicate effectively about products you are building.

Think yes, there literally is no limit. His brain is pudding and ego. Pray, no. He doesn’t have the actual means to carry out the threat

Saw this then scrolled more to see the EU going after porn sites for age verification. 😞

Uh if you’re looking for specifically Spanish can’t really help, but non-english I think the best bet would be ich_iel

Well I can say with some certainty that no matter what your idea is, something stupider has made it to print in Marvel or DC probably both.

On top of that, I’ve found that people tend to be more critical of things they perceive as amateur efforts, even if the quality is the same. If you watched a movie scene by an incompetent director and catch a mistake you’ll probably be derisive, but put the same mistake in a movie by a renowned director you’ll probably wonder if it isn’t intentional and serves some artistic purpose and might not react as negatively even if it is genuinely a mistake.

For your issue what I would say is that you should consider what you want people to find compelling in your story and then ask yourself if this detail serves that vision. Its possible your friend is reacting to something undercutting the draw of your work, but it is just as possible they just aren’t getting it. Seek more opinions if you want to understand how others are reading it, but ultimately you have to trust your vision.

“You wouldn’t ask to put age verification on a Bible would you mister representative?”

This whole affair is sad as fuck and didn’t need to happen. This man’s family was annihilated last week because world leaders are a bunch of corrupt ghouls who can’t get hard without blood and conquest. He went on to try and commit violence against a group at most tangentially related to the ones who killed his family.

If anyone in Washington for the past 10 years had done their best to avoid war with Iran we wouldn’t be here. If Netanyahu didn’t want to escape justice for his corruption we wouldn’t be here. If this man felt like he had any avenues but violence we wouldn’t be here. Its so fucking miserable

Echo people saying go to a common starter distro instead of a more esoteric one. Another starter tip if you want to learn the ecosystem deeply is to find good sources of documentation.

The man command is always useful, but for more general topics you can start looking with your distros help pages -> package documentation -> Alternate distro wiki. Essentially start with the documentation most relevant to your setup, which will often be your distros own guides. If your answer isn’t there you can check upstream with the packages themselves. Many have github/sourceforge pages with good info. If you still can’t find your answers several distros have documentation pages that are really really useful even when you’re on different distros. The Arch wiki is for me the defining feature of the distro, and almost any answer to a Linux question can be found between the Arch Wiki and the Gentoo Wiki if you read closely.

The less obvious fucked up part is how do you suppose they determine whether an exception was met? Do you think that is happening before the law enforcement goons have access to personal medical data?

Almost certain that at the very least, having a medically necessary abortion will get your private health records turned over to the police. You will become an investigation target and have your privacy violated before they can even possibly know whether you fall under an exception. Mix in the general disposition of police and the specific conflicting interest of stalker/abusive cops who will have no motivation to protect the people in these situations and you have a system designed to put every pregnant person in the US in the sights of PD firearms.

If they left it at OneDrive that would be one thing, but I don’t believe for a second that “We helped enable surveillance and AI targeting of drone strikes in a genocidal campaign” Microsoft is not more deeply involved than OneDrive

Makes me want to scream. Social security as is sucks. Current regime would use its reconstruction to wreak unimaginable cruelty on everyone they can, but the current system needs to go. We need to build systems outside state control to fill every need that can be denied to people based on access to the social security system. 🙃😡💀

Late stage capitalism is just this meme, but with an executive instead of Jesus, for everything humans do

Most Lemmy etiquette is pretty easy to follow. Just check the sidebar for rules before you post or comment. Etiquette is slightly varied among instances, but generally be nice and you’ll do fine. You may catch bans from communities you don’t participate in depending what you post, but try not to pay it to much mind.

Some instances or communities are explicitly heavily moderated (see Blahaj, Beehaw, and others) and preemptively ban people for comments and posts elsewhere. Most likely it’s nothing personal, and you wouldn’t have gotten much from those communities if you are posting counter to their purpose.

Other than that enjoy your time here!

That and more really. You could use it to do a green screen effect, but you can also use it to adjust color balance, brightness or do weirder things like swapping values between colors. It gets really crazy when you are working with full video because the time of the current frame is also available to be incorporated, so you can even do animated effects.

Another powerful filter is the convolve filter. That allows you to apply matrix transformations, which can for example be used to apply a homography matrix and adjust a videos perspective.

Well for instance you can use it to apply tranparencys or other effects using the geq filter. It applies a formula to every pixel in the input and can adjust alpha, rgb values, and gamma. You can also use conditionals in your formula and have access to the current pixels location and value, so you can apply your transforms only to specific regions if you want, or do an adjustment keyed only to a specific color.

Ffmpeg has been such cool software to learn. Simple filter chains can do incredible things
