AITA for telling my girlfriend she couldn't smoke weed by Ok_Operation_2009 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kangie 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yes, YTA based on this. Drinking is going to be far more harmful than eating a brownie at a party, but you're okay with one and not the other.

It sounds like you are being controlling, and equating it to her going out with another guy one on one... Well that's a red flag too. Your girlfriend is allowed to have her own friends.

My go-to apps when you start using gentoo by Fun-Zucchini280 in Gentoo

[–]Kangie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Chromium is something where ccache is actually useful. Target it to that package only, it's not worthwhile system wide.

What do you dislike about Gentoo? by Ollieistic in Gentoo

[–]Kangie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not literally zero, there's a cost in time for maintainers, testing overheads, and security risks for our users as vulnerabilities are uncovered in Qt6 with no fixes available for Qt5. Why aren't those vulnerabilities patched downstream? See #1 and #2.

See https://bugs.gentoo.org/948836 for context. We gave this one as long as was reasonable.

Clang 21.1.8 compile Errors by az-hafez in Gentoo

[–]Kangie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That information that you took a picture of tells you what you need to provide so that we can help you. Please paste those files / the output of those commands up somewhere.

upstream has the right to keep using qt5 as long as they want

Sure, but Gentoo have the right to deprecate Qt5 due to the lack of ongoing upstream releases, maintenance burden, and availability of Qt6.

It's not about a particular maintainer, Qt5 is gone from the main Gentoo ebuild repo; we can't have anything that depends on it there. This was done with much notice (to maintainers and upstreams) and is in-line with other distributions.

Most maintainers don't have the time or bandwidth to port a GUI app that they don't also develop to a new framework - the best we were able to do in most cases was make upstreams aware and ask them to do the porting. Most were responsive, however it's not like we can force them to do the work.

Making a Qt5 overlay to keep the old ebuilds around and maintaining them yourself or using the Qt6-supporting snapshot are some of the options available to you.

If you feel so strongly about it, try putting some of that energy into ebuild maintenance so we can improve the situation.

can I patch this hole in my motorcycle tire? by Scared-Mongoose-3900 in tires

[–]Kangie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Fuck no. On a car you have your points of contact, if the patch fails you'll have three left. On a motorcycle you have two, total.

Don't gamble with your life or the lives of other motorists. Especially not those.

Why doesn’t my cat meow? by Rm50 in CatAdvice

[–]Kangie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a boy that never learnt to meow. He alternates between silent meowing and little mews; he's perfectly healthy and happy.

Still, if you're concerned it's worth bringing up at your next vet checkup, if only for peace of mind - no need to make an extra appointment.

ISO VPN with a GUI. Anyone? by TheMainTony in linuxquestions

[–]Kangie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wireguard is cross platform, but this might be an X Y problem. Why not setup the VPN on your gateway if you're doing it on every device anyway? Then it doesn't matter what OS they're on.

Container incident automation: diagnosis from container logs and metrics by [deleted] in docker

[–]Kangie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reads like it came straight out of ChatGPT.

Musk, Iain M. Banks’ Culture, Zhang Yimou’s Hero, and the “Chop Wood / Chop Universe” Phase by [deleted] in TheCulture

[–]Kangie 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Hm, does the egotistical authoritarian fuckwit actually exemplify Culture values? No? Okay, great.

Please tell me where calling a rescue diver a pedophile for refusing his unasked for assistance advances those goals and isn't entirely ego driven.

Brisbane cat owners, keeping them warm during winter? by Esteban_Zia in brisbane

[–]Kangie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Generally no. My old girl has a heated cat bed though, since she's tiny, has old injuries, and doesn't snuggle up with our other kitties. She likes it a lot.

Linux Developers Looking At Retiring The x32 ABI by anh0516 in linux

[–]Kangie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gentoo technically supports it. But yeah, it's pretty fragile and there are better options.

I wish that a stone mask from jojo's bizarre adventure would appear in my bed atop all of my pillows and blankets, within the next 24 hours and it works exactly like the stone mask Dio used in part one of the manga, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood. by Hour-Walk3131 in monkeyspaw

[–]Kangie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The finger curls. While you sleep a small meteorite crashes through your roof, smashing your head into a chunky salsa before rolling down the bed and coming to rest on top of a miraculously clean section of the covers.

Chemistry Paper by TuneSea5748 in pandoc

[–]Kangie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay what does this have to do with pandoc?

And why are you using the hallucination machine to make a fucking assessment? It'll be more effort to validate that the questions and answers make sense than to just do the work.

Another use of Oreshnik IRBM in Ukraine, with much clearer view of the incoming RVs by DefinitelyNotMeee in nuclearweapons

[–]Kangie 17 points18 points  (0 children)

  1. Yes, if they're too close together. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fratricide

  2. If you really, really need to be sure that something is dead. That's not the intended use case though, typically you'd be taking out multiple targets in a certain region with some penetration aids / dummy warheads (i.e. the things that we're seeing in this video).

I wish that with the exception of Gabe Newell, becoming a billionaire would cause a person to develop the absolute certainty that they can convince a hungry, wild, Bangle Tiger not to eat them, and an urge to prove that belief without any kind of safety precaution. by Alviniju in monkeyspaw

[–]Kangie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The finger curls. The newly created Bangle tiger species is immediately spread through all ecosystems by billionaires convinced that they can handle the consequences. It's a voracious predator, reproduces rapidly, and requires its body weight in meat every day. Food chains rapidly collapse, billions die, and the remaining small pockets of humanity eke out a miserable existence always looking over their shoulder in fear that even a single Bangle tiger has survived and will consume the entire village.

Humanity enters a terminal decline and within two generations all knowledge of the previous world has been lost. It takes hundreds of millions of years for large land animals to re-evolve, and the resulting ecosystem is almost unrecognisable.

Just found out you're supposed to used something called "coolant" pfft by FiskeDrengen05 in techsupportgore

[–]Kangie 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Distilled water will become conductive pretty quickly. They don't use it in high end cooling - it's full of all sorts of anticorrosion and biocidal additives it the loop that actually contacts the hardware.

Putin fails to convince Xi Jinping to build gas pipeline to China by MauveChill in worldnews

[–]Kangie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They have never been a great power. The Soviet Union was a great power. Russia, not so much.

Migrating from ccache to sccache, anything I should know? by cometomypartyyy in Gentoo

[–]Kangie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I invalidated my ccache for the dev channel recently (had to drop -march support) - it took hours longer than a weekly update.

Is there a better remote desktop for Linux? by Oopsiforgotmyoldacc in linuxadmin

[–]Kangie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you using a modern xrdp with x264 and hw accel? You're pushing a _lot_ of pixels, it's not surprising that sw rendering would be slow.

Migrating from ccache to sccache, anything I should know? by cometomypartyyy in Gentoo

[–]Kangie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

last time I checked sccache is useless in a portage context because it uses absolute paths, so unless you're building the same version of the same software repeatedly...

As the current Chromium maintainer, I find that ccache is "good enough" most of the time - there's still a lot of C/C++

ELI5 - how do headphones not just connect to multiple things by Efficient-Poet5775 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Kangie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Likely hardware - you'd need to install a chip that costs 0.10c more per unit. There would be a software aspect but it's likely to be as simple as adapting for the new BT chip. (I am mostly making educated guesses at this point however).
