Various ant species do a similar thing where their soldiers have really big, flat heads and when their nest gets attacked, the soldiers stick their head into the entrance way, so the attackers can’t come inside.

Apparently, this kind of behaviour is referred to as phragmosis.

Man, I hate the detours you’re supposed to take as a pedestrian or bicyclist, so that car drivers don’t get inconvenienced.

Interesting strategy after they already advertised their most recent game, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, as going back to the roots…

No worries, I wouldn’t know this, if I had not been in exactly the same situation, desperately trying to free up space by deleting packages and it just not working. Also, Snapper is easy to forget about, which is really a testament to how good it generally is.

I guess, at the end of the day, life is just a whole load of chemical reactions. Oxygen is popular for life on Earth, because it’s available pretty much everywhere and because it releases energy when combined with carbon, which we’ve also got a lot of.

Presumably, you could stick any two elements that have an exothermic reaction into a box, give them an energy source with enough activation energy (akin to Earth’s Sun), as well as a source of entropy and then, with enough time, life would find a way.

If you need to clear up space, you’ll want want to delete old snapshots that snapper took. There’s a good overview in YaST.

If you delete packages, they’ll still be part of the previous snapshot, so won’t actually free up space until all the snapshots in which this package was contained are (auto-)deleted.

The snapshots are incremental, so it’s when big changes happen between snapshots that they take up more space.

As a recent meme on the Texas community put it: Don’t forget to stay inside from 11am until November 1st.

I don’t think, that’s quite the right verb in an open-source context…

Yeah, Tree-Style Tabs is the most popular extension, although there’s various others, and this has been a highly requested feature for a while.

In Southern Germany, we have a food roughly like a baguette, called a “Seele”, which also happens to be the German word for “soul”.

So, in my headcanon, the guy ate a baguette and they split his stomach in half. 🙃

I actually even made my own bullshit-Spotify. As in, I’ve got a server running on a single-board computer which reads my music folder and serves a small music player as a webpage.

I didn’t want to install a music player client on my work laptop, but still wanted to listen to my own songs there.

This looks like one of the color blindness filters got activated. Here on Plasma 6, it’s a Desktop Effect in the System Settings. Not quite sure, if that was also already the case in Plasma 5, but if you just type “blind” into the search bar of the System Settings, then it should show up and you can disable it.

Redditors gladly fall for drama and clickbait. Mozilla being a non-profit at its core means they’re supposed to be the good guys, so if they do anything that could be interpreted badly, or even if they don’t, journalists will publish stories about it and Redditors will gladly lap that shit up.
If Google tries to rape them, that’s yet another Tuesday, boring.

Kann konfirmieren. Achso ne, Moment, kann ich nicht, bin ja Atheist.

Make that two.

I mean, I doubt the Windows support is particularly solid here either. Using shell commands to formulate tasks will never be great for Windows, because the shell ecosystem is simply Linux.

Your comment is perhaps a bit confusing without a link: https://just.systems/man/en/

There’s not exactly a dichotomy there…

“We live in a society.”

What the others wrote is already pretty good. An interesting observation I made in this regard: If you take a white noise sample and cut it really short, it sounds quite a bit like a snare drum.

That’s kind of the level of randomness you can expect from various unpitched percussion instruments. They don’t just have one tone, or the tone from multiple octaves layered on top of each other, like pitched instruments typically have.
Rather they’re all over the place, with many tones layered on top of each other, and those tones change rapidly, too. So, it kind of has many pitches and therefore not really any particular one either.
