I have one and it easily lasts a week or so.

Just as a general rule, I would start checking log files. You can start by searching /var/log for files that have been modified in the last few mins with something like “sudo find /var/log -mmin -10 -ls 2>/dev/null”. That will get you all log files in /var/log changed within the last 10 mins. Then you can tail those or grep them looking for clues. I have done searches of the entire file system looking for log files that were recently modified to find clues. It might also help to send the output to a file so you can view that and scroll up and down rather than just trying to read the output of the find, tail or grep commands. Put a “1>/{path}/filenameyouwanttouse.out” at the end of the command or you can pipe it to the tee command and it will show on the screen and write to the file you specify.

a bit like screaming into an avalanche

I like that, and might use that in the future.

Since you mentioned developers using it to coordinate with their community, I also have seen a pattern where the channel owner invites people to come chat with them and the other people involved. Then when someone invariably pings someone on the team they get scolded for it. Pick one, availability to the people you invited, or stay private. Can’t have both.

On very busy channels, and this will probably sound weird, but it all just scrolls too fast to have a conversation. It’s like being in a room at one corner trying to talk with someone in another corner and the room is filled with other people all trying to have conversations using the same voice level. The only other analogy I could come up with is trying to have a conversation with a race car driver using his or her window mid race, and you just yell at each other every time they pass your corner.

Even when it isn’t flying by on a busy channel sometimes it’s just endless scrolling to find the beginning of the conversation or where you need to get it to get an idea of what’s going on. And their solution to that just made things worse in my opinion…

It has it’s purpose, and for my group it’s voice and being able to store notes that we can scroll back through if we need.

If I’m not interested that means I’m probably not going to bring anything interesting for the discussion

Ever tried to have a discussion on discord? It’s the most infuriating thing I have ever encountered.

Yeah, my point was that the world has mostly always been controlled by the rich disgusting criminals and people who are just now realizing this need to be aware of that. It’s comparable in my opinion to people posting on youtube videos something like “this Elvis fellow was criminally underrated.” Just because something is new to you doesn’t mean it’s new to everyone.

Back on topic, I firmly believe that social media is causing a lot of these mental health issues. People seem to believe that they are the main character for one, and they have an unhealthy obsession with trying to keep up with other people, while ignoring the fact that what people put online is highly edited and parsed. That’s just my theory as an observer from outside. I have no social media accounts other than this one, and if this all was powered off tomorrow I wouldn’t care.

maybe partially because people are realising the world is controlled by rich disgusting criminals.

Maybe people need to read some history books.

I have just met you and I love you. Squirrel!

Spinal Meningitis - Ween

That should clear the place out.

Thanks. I like seeing your name too, it makes me giggle when I see it. Fyi, you can call me by me nickname Stump Beefknob.

Let me sum up youtube comments. Video about Albert Einstein - “This man is so underrated…”

You know, my coworkers do care, and I care about them as well. I think you are trying way too hard to stay in this self deprecating state you are in. If someone tells you happy birthday why do you care if they truly mean it? They meant something or they wouldn’t have even said a word. Just like all the people who have replied here. If they/I truly didn’t give a single fuck we wouldn’t have even clicked the reply button. Maybe try working on yourself and things might turn around, unless you don’t really want that and are fine with the situation you are attempting to complain about.

Or just have the cashier who had to unlock the case and get you the box open it and ensure there is a cart inside before you leave the store.

Rush - Losing It.

Ranch Style cold right out of the can, just like nature intended.

I don’t see any reports of New Jersey having National Guard or Military on the streets.

I am also assuming that New Jersey doesn’t have any optometrists, because some of the ‘drones’ they have shown on national news are very clearly passenger jets.

You should try the fries Animal Style and In-n-Out.

Gotcha. Well, I guess being an old guy and having never correlated someone’s computer background to any kind of meaning other than they like that particular background, I guess I don’t see anything into it. But hey, I work with a bunch of terminals all day long so there’s not an opportunity to customize things there, and the one work machine that has a gui, I have just left the background as the default. That is a rule of mine, nothing personal on the work laptop.

younger me would’ve freaked out by the idea of having proprietary files

That’s good for starters. What do you mean by “younger me would’ve freaked out by the idea of having proprietary files”? Exactly what proprietary files are you talking about? Background pics are usually jpeg, or png, and those are not proprietary to linux, so I think that’s part of what has everyone confused about this. Are you also insinuating that people can only use certain backgrounds based on either belief or their own actual background? I am curious to hear your explanation if you aren’t a llm. And by the way, saying you don’t use chatgpt is exactly what I would expect chatgpt to reply with. LOL. I keed I keed.

When you say ‘younger me’ do you mean like four year old you, because eight year old current you doesn’t make sense? I have no idea what the whole point of this post is, other than it must be some chatgpt output someone thought would be funny to throw out.
