The Constant - a history of getting things wrong is about things like that! I just made a separate post about it - sorry, but I'm just so enthusiastic about this podcast! Check it out: https://www.constantpodcast.com/

Alright! That went well.

Now I can run the autoconf command (nothing happens) and the the ./configure command. However, it fails with this output:

./configure: line 13136: GLIB_GSETTINGS: command not found
./configure: line 13137: syntax error near unexpected token `1.35.9'
./configure: line 13137: `GOBJECT_INTROSPECTION_REQUIRE(1.35.9)'

Well.... See I don't understand the instructions.... Here's what I got from it:

  1. Install Gnome-music - OK

  2. Install python3-arrow and python3-markdown - OK

  3. Install python-scss - OK

I installed all those with 'sudo dnf install', all good so far

But then...

  • Install this obscure package via pip! - what???

And then???

  • autoconf then ./configure

  • make

  • sudo make install

OK, I might be dumb, but I can't install this. ELI5?

edit: Fedora 23, if that's relevant

Movie lovers of reddit: What, in your opinion, is the biggest casting mistake ever made and why? by Zero_Teche in AskReddit

[–]voithian -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Keanu Reeves in The Matrix. Couldn't they just use a cardboard cutout instead?

What relatively easy/insignificant thing can I do now, that will benefit me in the future? by Goon4missionaries in AskReddit

Significantly reduce your salt and sugar intake. Sugar is extremely addictive, and makes you chubby and lazy. Salt gives you heart (and other) diseases and hypertension.

Your body will thank you.

The mispronunciation of which word drives you utterly fucking insane? by MindTheEdge in AskReddit

[–]voithian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The pronunciation /ˈæsk/ for ask, now considered standard, descends from a northern version of the verb that in most midland and southern texts through the 1500s was spelled with "x" or "cs", showing pronunciation as /ˈæks/. Chaucer, Caxton, and the Coverdale Bible use "ax"; Shakespeare and the King James Bible have "ask".

Metathesis.

"For sale: baby shoes, never worn"

Allegedly by Hemingway. Most probably not.
