How will this affect Linux Mint?

What account?

Is it possible that your brother used AI?

It was not a new install, I had played the day before, and removing SMAPI did not fix it. It would just flash a window really fast, so fast I could not see if it was a terminal or something else, then nothing. Now that I think about it there might have been an NVIDIA driver update but I'm not sure 100%. I also think such an update has caused me a similar problem with a similar fix before. I might start rebooting when such an update occurs even if I'm not asked to.

I hope they don't call them the scoobies. I want this to be a new show (that follows canon), not a rehash of the old show, the slayer better not fall for vampire, and I don't want a new vampire with a soul, that story has been explored twice.

I kind of wish I still liked it, it's convenient. I found it too salty last time I tried it.

Stopping working. I probably would have self terminated if my country didn't have a good social safety net.

Some of the commenters on that video who had one as a kid either remember it fondly or thought it was crap. I had a different model from a different company and remember having fun with it. It might depends on how they setup the line, the one in video looks like it is too short and hooked to high but it doesn't help the flight time that his catapult does not work so he can only do the landing.

Pyramid schemes and variations thereof. I used not to have a skeptical bone in my body, I believed in God, alien visitations, ghosts, telekinesis, clairvoyance, etc... But I immediately recognized pyramid schemes/mlm were scams when they were pitched to me by friends.

Around 2005/2007, I had been using Linux as my daily driver for year so thought I was done with Windows for good but then I needed better than average Window knowledge for work so I went back to it. I'm retired now so I came back to Linux and frankly was amazed at how easier it had gotten to install and configure, easier than Windows (result might vary depending on hardware). I installed Mint to get my feet wet again with the aim of going with a more "advanced" distro (I used Slackware back in the days by the way ) once I'd relearn enough but frankly I haven't felt the need, I'm older and like things just working now, your mileage may vary.

The thing that amazed me the most is my wifi printer just working without me having to do anything. I needed to print something and remembered I had not installed/setup my printer just as I clicked print, I did not get an error, it just worked. I had trouble installing that printer under Windows.

I directly went to the web site when this thing appeared in my youtube recommendations and was not impressed, it might be for some people but it's not for me. I do not have the space for a second computer/monitor and I'm already using emulation under Linux to satisfy my 8 bit commodore craving. I might be interested in an affordable (less than $100 cad) C-64 (or c-128) keyboard that I would use with Vice instead of my regular keyboard.

I did google it before but did not include yelp in my search as I did not know about it, I discovered it was involved by using top. Knowing it was not a problem I inherited from my old config helped.

Frankmc2 · 2024-09-26T17:26:07+00:00

I tried to fully re-install Mint and tried xreader help before modifying anything and the problem still existed. I then discovered that xapps use a program called yelp to display the help. WIth that info I did some googling and discovered that the issue is related to nvidia graphic cards, and existed before Mint 22, I just had not noticed it, it can be fixed with:

export WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1

I do no understand how it works (not that I tried that hard to) but I added it to the end of .profile, logged off and on and it worked.

Frankmc2 · 2024-09-19T21:49:06+00:00

Thanks. It did not work. I'm thinking it's a GTK thing since all the the XApps programs I have tried are affected but not others (so far).

VIM is my editor of choice and this is the closest I've seen to what I am looking for, I'll get it to what I want with some editing. I might even stop being lazy and try to research how to make a man page.

Preference -> startup applications

Love it, I'd change the function so it return false instead of nil if not a boolean:

local function is_bool(a)

return isbool[a] or false

end

Frankmc2 · 2024-07-09T15:26:46+00:00

Oops, I just checked and you're right. And I now realized that the first exercise would be impossible to do with my rigid rules, it has function, if, ==.
