  • I am dual booting Linux Mint and Windows 10 on my desktop PC, what’s keeping me from switching completely is Lossless Scaling… I didn’t find a similarly hassle-free and functional alternative that would run on Linux

    EDIT: Oh, and it’s a huge pain comparatively to overclock my display from 60 to 96 Hz. In Windows it’s a matter of running an executable every time my display driver updates. I gave up and I just boot to Windows anytime I want to take advantage of the higher frequency (which is a lot)

    “Listen, I like to chat, but today I am feeling a bit overwhelmed from work and I need some peace and quiet, could this be a silent haircut please? It would do wonders for my soul right now!”

    You are responsible for setting boundaries and attending to your needs. Any good hairdresser will be totally fine with this, and some may even be relieved.

    It’s less typing but technically it’s one more request to the server which you have to wait for to fail before the correct request can be fucked, so it might be faster to do it the correct way from the get-go. Especially if you’ve done it before and you can just Ctrl+R and find it in the history, or you have a git alias (e.g. git phead)





  • I didn’t click through into the article, but while the achievement is huge, it is not as much a success story as this post makes it seem and the fight is far from over. Babiš is still in the Parliament, he’s been in opposition, but the current (neoliberalism-friendly, status quo friendly) government is not very popular and Babiš’s party is projected to win the next elections based on polls. He still has about 25-30 % of die-hard voters and other parties are fragmented and disjointed. I fear that he might be able to assemble a government with Communists (who have already quietly tolerated him in a previous government) and right-wing populists…

    Thinking about it now, I think a US-like scenario is quite likely–a first term of madness, oligarchy and corruption, then a brief one-term respite which does not address the systemic issues that got us the first term in the first place, and then another return to the madness. Though I’ve also heard speculation that seeing Trump’s antics in the second term is what might make people here less likely to vote for Babiš.
