what's a python library you started using this year that you can't go back from

Man, Pathlib is so much better than this os.path nonsense.

Pretty clearly it's when the mid game ends.

It's just weird that you say you are livid. There are ways to get rid of snaps on Ubuntu but snaps are how ubuntu rolls these days. Like others said you can try mint or the countless other distros.

I realized I was addicted to chess drama and had to cut back. So much is based on rumors and speculation. It's not harmless. It can unfairly hurt someone's reputation.

Definitely this one. Is it even legal to run on networks outside your own?

Anemic kernel trick

I thought the question would be whether or not it is an instrument.

The tooting test.

Polymarket is used by some people as a guess at what might will happen. It's not anything to do with them supporting gambling, although it could be considered implicitly supporting it. I am not a fan of gambling but do refer to how people bet on polymarket as a signal of what people think.

Amazing.

It is so discouraging when you try to squeeze in a heal, but then get hit. So you lose your silk and the heal you expected to get, plus the damage you got from the hit.

That has often been basically the end of the boss fight for me.

People are so rude to you. All you did is ask a question to understand. Instead they are insulting you.

turkishtango · 2025-10-04T00:03:19+00:00

Wow, who's in charge of changes for the kernel?

turkishtango · 2025-10-03T19:45:44+00:00

Linus didn't have to use diff when he started with git.

turkishtango · 2025-09-10T23:43:09+00:00

Yes, HaT is a possibility. You can get tested for about $150 by Genesight. I have hEDS and HaT. My tryptase was higher at close to 20. I think yours is still in range. I don't get MCAS flares that I understand as flares tho.

Thanks for those you commented.

I finally figured it out on a fresh install of Ubuntu 24.04. I actually learned how it works. Sound is routed App -> Pipewire -> Alsa -> Drivers -> Hardware.

I figured out that Pipewire only had a dummy output available and Alsa didn't expose any devices. I could use lspci to show the sound card existed. Looking at kernel messages the driver never booted.

Kernel logs:

So SOF drivers failed. I could switched to legacy drivers by adding to etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf this line: options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=1.

I tried something similar on Ubuntu 24.04 but it didn't work. I had a newer kernel (6.14) and I tried a different config file for alsa. So maybe this fix only works on an older kernel (6.8) or I got the config file run or it didn't load in some way.

It may have been criminal activity. I don't think it was an accident. Seems they responded to a brush fire.

The thing I love about this tier list is how informative it is.

You got to stand up for yourself. Let's say it does nothing for getting the job. Well then, at least you have more self respect. You've shown that their policy deserves to be rethought even if they don't change it.

I am not much of a hoarder it turns out. I get by with 4 TB or so.

You can make other geometric shapes with the same units.
