Lutris can be pretty handy for many things…

I don’t have too much exp with these things, but I would suggest (as an IT support person) narrowing down and isolating problems into specifics, like:

• I need dot.net for x thing and I tried y thing and it didn’t work.

You’ll be able to get better answers. I’m pretty interested in the suggestions, my usual solution is ‘find something open source that is not as good but works.’

There should be an app or something for this…

I… actually can’t tell if you’re taking the piss or if that’s a real episode.

I have so many questions about the whales.

Tarballs are not built from source?

I have heard multiple times from different sources that building from git source instead of using tarballs invalidates this exploit, but I do not understand how. Is anyone able to explain that?

If malicious code is in the source, and therefore in the tarball, what’s the difference?

Apple will make you pay for anything apparently

Ah thanks, that’s my problem, it’s me.

Oh boy…

I wonder if I’m going to notice any better performance…

holy shit!!! I’m definitely doing that!

Just reconfigured /etc/makepkg.conf to use extra cores and tmpfs… I’ve been compiling on the SSD with one core for so long it’s embarrassing.

As a side note, dealing with adding repos and keys and all that is something I will never miss from apt. I use Arch and installing things is usually as simple as… well let me check.

    The Mullvad VPN client app for desktop
==> Packages to install (eg: 1 2 3, 1-3 or ^4)
==> _

And it’s option 1. So easy. Type 1 and press enter and you’re done.

Can’t I just download a file and install it?

Yes, there are instructions on the page for that, the section is titled ‘Installing the app without the Mullvad repository’

The answer is always ffmpeg

Well, people have been forking recipes forever. I’m sure we will get closer to that reality eventually

“My food is included in rent. Which is convenient for day-to-day eating but gives me less capacity for cooking my own meals. Like, I admit it, the system works really well for normal people, I’m just a weirdo who likes tinkering with recipes, hosting dinner parties, and whatnot”

There, I highlighted the absurdity even more for you. You’re not a wierdo, you’re a tech-chef.

I just discovered that I know emacs commands because I use them in the bash terminal all the time.

Hey look, it’s us:

For a lot of what I do, its the only way to do it.

For everything else, there’s MasterCard.

Pretty sure I did with mplayer and/or feh but it was years ago
