How? Why? I can't even

I don't want to search this... Wth is it?

A more apt comparison would be a black bear vs a gorilla.

Your brains and mine work very very differently. Kudos to diversity.

Oops, you’re right. I got confused with the three open source drivers available. Nvidia’s driver doesn’t have a good name. The point stands though.

And now* nvidia launched Nova, instead of contributing to Nuveau for some reason. It’s like they want to take wind out of Nouveau.

Yeah, so it might fetch a slightly higher price. What does have to do with protecting the people potentially exposed by this project?

What’s your point?

I don’t agree with the full stop. Eliminating nuance is rarely good. Most tasks an IT professional will execute will be done several times a month, so memorizing the tar command options might be useful if that’s something they do all the time. But demanding that a person is proficient with the CLI as a way to prove familiarity with how things work under the hood is just fallacious.

I coded in vim and we built our own makefiles to deploy our code into our proprietary microcontroller. We also used JTAG to connect gdb with the microcontroller, and not even the guy that coded the JTAG interface would be able to write JTAG commands by hand.

They’re basically describing a good GUI.

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 15 points 1 week ago (15 children)

It’s okay to have a preference. In my. 20+ years with Linux, I’ve coded with and for it, did low level embedded development with it, used it at home for school and entertainment, used for amateur photography, even managed a small server for a startup.

I still would rather use a GUI, because I have not specialized in most of the tasks. It’s less powerful, but it’s just more intuitive. It’s less portable between DEs, but it’s easier. And if your only doing that once in a blue moon, it’s more than enough.

I think you dropped a B there.

 

I love the hide seen messages button on my general feeds. But it’s missing from when I’m browsing a single community. Would be really cool if it was there too.

 

I just want to filter Nicole out. That’s all.

Thank you.

Voyager implement all searches that lemmy exposes, but this one is something else. When in a browser with a post loaded, I can search the post and its comments for any text with the browser “search this page” feature.

I wanted a text search on Voyager in a similar fashion, i.e. client side full text search on what’s on screen at the moment.
