  • Oh I think politics are often an important part of sci-fi stories, but this was something like “Venus is great, but it’s not as great as the people’s glorious Socialist Utopia, where the workers rule and those imperialist pig dogs in the west have no power to corrupt us!” whose inclusion felt like it was mandated by a Kommisar. I don’t recall and can’t find the story I am thinking of, sorry.









  • New to full time Linux desktop but I’ve had my crappy website running on a Raspberry Pi for like a decade. Mostly it works just fine and I barely notice it’s not Windows. I am trying hard not to pop into the Konsole every time because I know I’ll end up with a system so altered that I could never get it back the way it was.

    Everybody talks about Wayland, but when I switch on the Debian login screen it just loops back to the login after logging in. I’m sure it’s fixable but why do I need to? Everything seems to work fine on X11.

    Separately (I assume), it sometimes scrolls through the shutdown log and then just… Doesn’t. Quick search suggests I need a little script to disconnect some devices when shutting down. I’ll get to it eventually.

    I also ended up with two copies of discord in my application menu somehow but only one in the installed apps menu. I’m guessing one is a flatpack or appimage or something. I might just remove everything related to discord and start over.

    When I partitioned originally, I followed advice saying 30gb was enough for / since I have a separate /home , but a couple months in and it’s complaining it’s full. Oh well. Had to boot into a live image to resize the LVM because you can’t unmount/ of course, but still it was slightly annoying. The kde partition editor didn’t give me an error like “you need to unmount this first, idiot”, it let me enter a new size but when I hit ok it just ignored my input. It was keeping me safe, I’m sure, but an explanation message would have been nice.
