Yeah, maybe you’re right. Maybe I’m misremembering, but it’s the best replacement for the old 32 bit QuickPic which used to be the best gallery app.

I tried that, and I greatly prefer Fossify Gallery. It’s based on the old QuickPic source code. functionality almost identical to the highly regarded QuickPic app.

You don’t really need a camera roll. Just use your normal gallery after taking pics.

You can disable Google Photos outright. No need to play with permissions.

The kiosks don’t even let you put onions on a McChicken.

Good to know. Thanks!

Thanks! Using -e jumped right to the problem:

Something—I don’t know what—added a removable drive to fstab, and the error was that drive couldn’t be mounted at boot.

I have two guesses:

1. I formatted a microSD card using YaST Paritioner sometime before doing the distro upgrade.
2. The drive might have been attached during the distro upgrade, though I don’t think it was.

At any rate, I commented out that line in fstab and it booted right up. Now I just have to fix snapper.

EDIT: Why is my -e red?

Weird. What I see when viewing mycomment on thelemmy.club:

No, I don’t think so. Turns out, I don’t need the rollback, so now I just need to fix snapper. (I updated my post)

Yes, of course. And they they replied to acknowledge they were being reductive, and then explained their exasperation at the original comment (which was not from you). I don’t see anything particularly wrong with that, and then you made a pretty condescending reply. That’s OK. You don’t always need to be polite. Lord knows I’m not. But it was coincidentally kinda funny! I laughed at it, myself. You literally said, “would you like me to explain it like I’m five”, which is just so silly! I wish you could see the humor in it.

So I think their deadpan reply of “No, an explanation like you were five wouldn’t improve upon OP.” is an excellent and appropriately snarky reply that points out the silliness of what you said while also returning your snark back to you.

Have a most excellent day!

“I’m sorry you weren’t able to understand it…”, sounds snarky as hell. That’s victim blaming. The original comment they replied to was indeed a bunch of mumbo jumbo.

Your comment just now is entirely true, but you completely missed the point.

The funny part is, you basically offered to talk like a child when explaining.

You don’t see the humor in you having said, “Do you want me to explain it like I’m five?”

I thought it was funny. And that’s why they replied the way they did. You were also being very snarky. And who wants assistance from someone being snarky?

This is definitely a both sides are wrong argument. /2¢

Why not just write to USB directly?

cp debian.iso /dev/sdX

Because one single character typo and you just wiped out your system drive or some secondary HDD. It’s much safer to use a tool like Etcher.

I’m sorry, but it doesn’t sound like you read the article.

Some salient quotes:

Companies cited a variety of ways they gain access to student digital activity, including browser plug-ins, API integrations and device software.

Many companies collect and flag sensitive data, including students’ private messages and search histories.

So, they work with shady spyware companies to collect private student data, retain it, and then try to sell it to schools.

I, for one, am fucking shocked!

Thanks! That was a good read.

ERROR: File or directory not found.

Is this the first time you’ve had the pleasure of using vi/vim? 😄 visudo is a command that locks the sudo file and just opens vi or vim. It’s not a text editor in and of itself.

Vim is the source of the famous “how do you quit vim”, meme. (:q <Enter>, btw) The interface is completely nonintuitive and has modes. In “edit mode”, all the buttons do different edits to text or move the cursor. That must have been your experience: trying to type in edit mode and getting garbage. You have to enter “insert mode” to type using the I key. Commands to do things like save and quit are started by typing a colon in edit mode. You navigate in edit mode using HJKL as arrow keys.

To avoid it, set your default editor to nano instead. Nano’s hotkeys are nonsensical to people coming from Windows, but at least they’re displayed on the screen at all times.

$ export EDITOR=nano

Having to install apps manually and figure out dependencies myself because a popular piece of software only officially supports Ubuntu and Debian. No normal human would ever do this. They would go back to Windows. Hell, I still haven’t even gotten one piece of software to work on my new OpenSUSE system yet: Beyond Compare 4. [UPDATE: I got it from work. Either I was blind or they just added OpenSUSE instructions. ]

Why are there so many package managers with such different syntaxes? And why does one repo maintainer decide to call a package “package” and another calls it “package4”? Or some entirely different name! It’s maddening. I’ve had to create empty proxy packages that translate package names just to install some RPM file. Again, the average person is not going to do this.

In KDE plasma, the first thing most people do is set up Wi-Fi on their computer, but you need to set up KWallet first or else the password gets stored in some other dimension. I accidentally typed my Wi-Fi password wrong, and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to clear it out and make it ask me for the proper password when I try to connect. I even went into network manager and switched the network to say, “ask me every time”. It wouldn’t! It would just sit there and hang on “authenticating”. I never did figure it out. I ended up forgetting to encrypt my system partition, so I simply reinstalled the OS.

You’re right, of course. But it feels like science.
