I wish McConnell would just have that final catastrophic stroke already

Is that you, Rowan, manager of TechTown?

No. It’s not like businesses that are open 7 days a week require all of their employees to work every one of those days

I’ve found it precisely the opposite: Monday is like a Thursday (so experientially two Thursdays and two Fridays) with a free day to schedule doctor’s appointments, car fixes, and all the other little things you’d normally have to take PTO for but now do not

Why are you interpreting this as a power grab?

I like ulauncher. That’s what I use on my main machine that runs Mint. It’s not Mint or Cinnamon specific but it doesn’t need to be

If you use the kitty terminal emulator and have your favorite git TUI installed (e.g. lazygit), you can map something like this (my current mapping) to get a proper IDE-like git experience:

map alt+shift+f6  launch --type overlay --title "lazygit" --cwd current lazygit

here’s an actual article about it instead of just a random picture and text

Shareholders are invested by their money only. If they can sue and win while also selling off their shares they’re going to do it.

If you’re getting that granular then you must’ve had to record the data somewhere. Did I miss where the OP is sharing their data set?

“Listen, the guy had cancer. He probably would’ve died anyway even if I hadn’t thrown him into a hot closet that only I had the ability to open and close.”

~ Conservative morons, probably (this time in Texas)

OR:

If someone with covid dies from heatstroke in a Texas prison, do the mouth-breathing idiots running Texas corrections say they died from nothing?

Huh, confusing last year for a decade ago is unusual

They don’t despawn. Also, enemies are not simulated when you’re past a certain distance away from them (not very far at all considering how big the map is) so even if you wait it out a few in-game days it’ll be right where it was if you try to portal back in

As to who that person should be, I’m not really sure

This right here is the crux of how the dems fucked up so, so badly. Why they went into this election season without even attempting to run anybody aside from Biden I’ll never know. All that it’s reaped is all us know of not knowing anybody else and the federal party managers seem to be just as clueless (generally clueless, yes, but especially and specifically clueless here)

It’s weird to me that you think I think that. I do primarily browse files by terminal, but not always. Before I got into heavy terminal use I was a power user of Nemo. In any case, dumping everything in /home does not make for a better gui file browsing experience, either

Someone asking a question doesnt merit the insult of saying they “would never ask if they used a terminal.” I have no particular dog in this fight, but not being a dick isn’t that hard.

This is true, and something that I’m working on. For some reason my brain is uncharitable in these situations and I interpret it not as a simple question but a sarcastically hostile put down in the form of a question. In this case, “Why would you be dumb and not just put things in /home”. That really is a silly interpretation of the OP question, so I apologize.

As to using this standard, just because this is your preferred standard, doesnt mean its the only standard.

Sure, but the OP was essentially asking “Why isn’t dumping everything into a user’s /home the standard? Why are you advocating for something different?”

Based on their own description, they aren’t even an official standard, just one in “very active” use.

There are a LOT of “unofficial standards” that are very impactful. System D can be considered among those. The page you link to does talk about a lot of specifications, but it also says that a lot of them are already under the XDG specification or the reason for XDG is to bring such a scheme under a single specification, i.e. XDG.

So why this, specifically? Just because its what you’re already doing?

• yes I do use it, so I am definitely biased in that regard
• it bring a bunch of disparate mostly abandoned specification into a single, active one
• it’s the active specification that has learned from past attempts

But what’s the difference?

I can only imagine someone asking this if they a) don’t use the terminal except if Stackexchange says they should and b) have yet to try and cleanup a system that’s acquired cruft over a few years. If you don’t care about it, then let me flip that around and ask why you care if people use XDG? The people who care about it are the people in the spaces that concern it.

Off the top of my head this matters because:

• it’s less clutter, especially if you’re browsing your system from terminal
• it’s a single, specified place for user specific configs, session cache, application assets, etc. Why wouldn’t such important foundational things required for running apps not be in a well defined specification? Why just dump it gracelessly in the user’s root folder outside of pure sloppy laziness?
• it makes uninstalling apps easier
• it makes maintenance easier
• it makes installing on new machines easier

It’ll be in /home anyways and I heard BSD had some issues with something that could be XDG.

Same

Yep, pretty easy to test, too. 4 and 5 produce the same effect as 0, meaning that it just uses that as a default for values it doesn’t understand.
