What usually also works on Linux is selecting text with the mouse and pasting it by pressing the middle mouse button (or scroll wheel). You’d still need the mouse, but it’s at least a little quicker ☺️

Has anyone tried this yet on Debian 12? Would be nice to upgrade from the ESR version.

Thanks! I heard about it from a social worker, so maybe you could try something like that.

It’s a local program (I live in the Netherlands) for people with autism or similar issues. They teach you html and java and some other stuff I don’t remember. Eventually they help you to work on projects they do for other businesses and even find a job with a “regular” company, but only if you’re ready for that and able to do it. It’s government funded and aside from the IT professionals, they also have healthcare professionals who help you with any issues you encounter in the work environment. After having been unemployed for years due to mental health issues, it’s a very exciting opportunity for me. I’ve already visited the company and the people and work environment there seem really suitable.

• I started using Lemmy
• Got back on Mastodon when it got rolling a bit more. I follow more accounts now and it’s actually fun.
• Got back on linux after a 5 year hiatus. I should have done it a whole lot sooner, I enjoy using my computer more.
• Needed a laptop and instead of buying a new one, I got a secondhand laptop from a local system administrator who put linux on it. Debian is great and I love the old Thinkpad.
• I’ve applied to a learn/work program in web development. I haven’t started yet, but I will soon. I’m so excited for that.

Thanks, it really was. I had happily used the self-checkouts for years before that, so it’s a real shame.

NL as well. Maybe it’s because it’s a big city, poor neighbourhood, more theft, I don’t know, but I’m done with it.

Also, some places do random inspection. But that’s frustration free too

Yeah, I’m gonna disagree with that. They’ve recently ramped up those checks because of increased theft due to inflation. They also scan more items now. After having been checked 4 times in a row and them completely emptying my bag each time, I no longer use the self checkout.

The words can be copyrighted alright, that’s not the problem here. Even without publishing them, the creator already has copyright over his 624 words. There’s probably nobody who would be interested in publishing them because, let’s face it, they aren’t that interesting on their own, unlike a novel or a poem. All the stuff that makes this a piece of art is added by the AI, whereas a printing press adds very little to nothing to a book.

legacy add-on format

What do you need that for?

I think you meant !enoughmuskspam@lemmy.world, right?

It just goes to show how an accusation like this sticks to a company’s reputation. The reason for your company switching could be totally unrelated, yet your mind still jumps to this. Have you asked why they’re switching?

Yeah, I’ve not been able to find any allegations by anyone else, except for his vague mentions. There was also a Jewish person who had worked at SUSE who commented in one thread that they felt nothing less than welcomed.

Free mental healthcare is a great idea, but it will only partially solve the problem. Men tend to use mental healthcare way less than women. Where I live (where it’s basically free) there are some efforts to get men into programs, like support groups specifically for men, but these don’t change the situation much. There needs to be a cultural change as well, aside from societal improvements to better everybody’s lives.

SUSE because of Yast and the (german) company’s rumored?stance on antisemitism

I was really surprised to read about the antisemitism allegation. That’s a very serious accusation. I’ve looked into it and it seems that these claims are controversial. First thing to mention is that the accuser said himself that this was about the company SUSE, and not the distribution openSUSE.

The article claims there are emails and other employees’ statements as proof, but provides none. The article is also over a year old, so why hasn’t this led to any public statements from SUSE or any legal or other actions? Antisemitism is a serious offense in Germany.

Discussions on reddit and hacker news all state that the writer has gone off the rails. When being called out on reddit for deadnaming a trans woman, he plays dumb. I don’t think he’s dumb. It seems to me like he’s transphobic and acting like a troll about it in good old American conservative fashion.

For me, this seriously calls into question any claims he makes about social justice stuff, even if it concerns himself. He apparently views other people’s social justice as something to play with, so my gut feeling is that it would be no concern to him to lie or bend the truth about stuff like this in order to achieve something. It’s all a game to him in the political arena, not serious life issues.

If I’m wrong, all he has to do is provide the proof he claims there is, even if only anonymized.

Yeah, I looked it up the other day and apparently it only gives less results with words flagged with “-”. It’s stupid because a few years ago there was syntax to exclude a term completely, so it’s definitely possible to do. I don’t understand why they just won’t.

One of the car companies is quoted as having caused no serious injuries or deaths, so it seems like the 90 incidents number only includes those. Unfortunately the article doesn’t question those numbers or explain what is counted, which is very poor journalism. I don’t understand how they can write about the protesters’ motivations without asking how many moving violations those cars have caused, or at least mention that this number is unknown.

If the numbers indeed don’t count the times where they block traffic, stop for no reason or block emergency vehicles where they need to wait for the company to send someone out to the car, then AV’s could be far worse than human drivers, not only in the number of incidents but also in the total delays they cause. At least a human driver can be removed from the car so that someone more competent can take over and resolve the situation quickly. And a human generally doesn’t just stop in a lane and refuse to move out of the way for a very long time.

Another bonus: a human can just remove a cone from the hood and continue driving.

The Pleasures of Small Motions

That’s such an awesome title. I just wish it wasn’t about pool but more like a meditative guide on how to enjoy life through slowing down and relishing everyday things or something.
