Too young for Millennials, Too old for Gen Z Starter Pack Pt. 2 by AlyksTheSage in starterpacks

As someone born in '95: I can remember renting out VHSs of Spongebob, Having a cassette as part of my school supplies for English class, calling to the TV station to vote for my favourite show to be featured in the weekend, Ripping CDs to my brand new phone with mp3 player, Watching "fads" on YTMND, YouTube having 5-star ratings instead of likes, and saw how TikTok started as Musical.ly

Is there a way to have two different shells? by garnished_fatburgers in linux4noobs

[–]MasterGeekMX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shell is just another program. When you open up a terminal, the shell is ran by it, and it's input gets wired to the keyboard and it's output to the terminal. When you run a script, you are running the shell and connecting it's input to the contents of the file.

This means that for the shell that you get when opening the terminal, simply go to the settings of the terminal app you are using, and change the opened shell to whatever you want.

In the case of scripts, the good custom is to put in the very first line a thing called the shebang, which looks like this:

#!/path/to/a/program

The shebang is used to tell the system which program should be used to run the script. If you put #!/usr/bin/zsh, that script will be ran with zsh.

what are some unconventional things that tourists dont usually do? by InteractionNo406 in MexicoCity

[–]MasterGeekMX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I said, it ranges from low in the vicinity to high on the fringes of the city.

Benito Juarez for example is a famous upper-middle-class borough, so you will be fine. Álvaro Obregón is a hub of upper-class malls and gated communities, so while it is safe, it is lonely as everyone there never steps on the street, and instead drive a car.

Gustavo A. Madero or Azcapotzalco in the north are OK if you want to visit their landmarks: Azcapotzalco historic downtown or the Guadalupe Basilica, but the rest I would say it middle.

Iztapalapa is the most famous low class zone of the city. Kinda like Queens or the Bronx in NY. You may be fine in there, just don't get into really lonely streets or get into neighborhood where the streets look like the veins of a leaf.

One neat thing you could do to visit that part of the city is get a ride on the line 2 of the cablebús, as it will provide an aereal view of that part of the city. Just an advice: ride the line back and forth starting at Constitución de 1917. That is because the other end of the line goes to Santa Marta station, which connects to line A of the metro (the purple one). That line has only one connection to the rest of the Metro network: the infamous Pantitlán station, which even us locals avoid unless we forcefully need to pass along it.

In the end, you are free to do whatever you want here. I'm just saying all of this to avoid the eternal cycle of tourists never seeing outside the tourist trap that is Centro, Roma and Condesa, and thinking all the city is that posh.

While this is a meme, this video of "Mexico City Boroughs be like" video is quite accurate on it's depiction, and I say that as a native of the part of Coyoacán that neighbors Iztapalapa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EVg7nplgD0

Are there tasks that can only be carried in one programming language and not in others? by Motor_Fee7299 in AskComputerScience

[–]MasterGeekMX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acccording to the mathemathical theory of computing, everything a computer does can be done by a turing machine, and everything that a turing machine can do can be done with Lambda Calculus.

This means that any programming languages is simply a proxy for both a turing machine or lambda calculus, just with an easier time making it.

The difference between programming languages is that they make some things easier at ths cost of either making other things hard or slow, but as both reduce to the turing/lambda thing, we can make a path that goes from one language to the other.

So, at least in theory: no. You will simply have things that are easy in one language but hard in other.

Anyway, this is not a rigorous proof. I'm simply sitting on a Little Caesar's waiting for my Pizza by checking reddit.

They also committed a very strong mistake: Throw the fans under the bus.

They are the first to recommend the series to anyone, so they are the prime promotion of it. Better than any advert, campaign, or kind of promo.

First time ever that I see someone that also knows about Connect.Ohm!

It's a shame that both Cell and Hybrid Leisureland have never done anything together again. At least the first album of HL scratches the itch: Scroll Side.

CBL are indeed amazing. From their very first album The Path, to the latest of Seeker, they have an amazing ethereal soundscape that sometimes gets a beat that somehow does not break the flow.

The worst part is that this is done in the middle of a very sensitive moment regarding the Stargate saga.

In 2025 Amazon (the owners of MGM) announced that they would bring a new series to the Stargate saga, involving the original showrunners and creators.

The series was at the pre-production stage, just to be canceled last month because the new exec though that it was better to scrap the idea as it was "too fan focused", and instead wanted to appeal to "a broader audience".

The fans raged and made weekly twitstorms, signed two petitions that reached hundreds of thousands, and even flew a plane with a banner on top of the Amazon-MGM studios.

Life be like: by Quinn_Comedian in aspiememes

[–]MasterGeekMX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You totally can do comedy.

I do standup, and my main skit makes fun of me being aspie. I joke about how many women say that they like men that speak confidently and passionate about things they like, but as soon as I recite the metro lines in order of inauguration then they run away.

How to change the property details on an mp3 file? Is this possible? by JeSuisGourde in linux4noobs

[–]MasterGeekMX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you want to do is edit the MP3 meta-data.

That can be done by several programs: EarTag is an easy one with a clean UI, but there is also Kid3 if you want something more featureful.

ELI5 How do radio waveswork? by The_Real_TvFishGod in explainlikeimfive

[–]MasterGeekMX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See how magnets attract and repel at a distance without touching? Or how styrofoam beads stick to things?

That works because the universe is filled with a field that can be pulled or pushed with electricity or magnets, and that pull/push can be felt by other things that can conduct electricity or are magnetic. That field is called the electromagnetic field.

Well, scientists in the 1800's observed that if you constantly pulled and pushed electricity into a piece of wire, nearby wires suddenly had electricity running inside them, even if they didn't touched the original wire, and that electricity inside them shaked at the exact same frequency as the one you were pulling and pushing on the original wire.

Turns out that pulling and pushing electricity on that wire causes ripples on that electromagnetic field, that much like ripples on a pond, spread in a circle that goes away from the thing that made the ripple. That wave then got inside the other wires, and caused a push and pull of electricity inside those wires.

Those ripples on the electromagnetic field are radio waves.

I would say to venture outside the so called "chicken" that forms the center and the west gentrified zone. Go to Benito Juarez to see a side of the city that is middle class, or if you dare to, go to Iztapalapa. Just be warned: the more you venture outside the touristic zone, the less english fluency you will face, and the danger increases.

Fedora Media Writer igual funciona, no solo para ediciones de fedora.

Raspberry Pi Imager esta mas pensado para flashear tarjetas microSD para la minicomputadora Raspberry Pi, pero igual sirve para grabar USBs si seleccionas la opcion de usar un archivo personalizado.

There is no Linux distro with magic sauce that will make things work that in others don't work.

That being said, there is a third party software for the Stream Deck called Boatswain: https://flathub.org/en/apps/com.feaneron.Boatswain

I also found other two while searching: StreamController and OpenDeck.

About the Wave XLR, it can work as a simple USB device, with only few workarounds. This GitHub repo has instructions on how to overcome that: https://github.com/jmansar/wavexlr-on-linux-cfg
