When I buy a gal flowers, she usually just sets them out in a pretty vase, but she’s welcome to just graze on them if she chooses. I don’t judge. Orchids are pretty bland in my opinion, but nasturtiums have a nice peppery bite that goes well with salad.

What does any of this have to do with KDE, Gnome, or nautilus? If symlinks aren’t working, I’d dedicate an entire drive to Steam by mounting that drive (with matching permissions) right where Steam expects to find them. You can mount a filesystem/disc/ISO/drive/network share practically anywhere you want. If your network is fast enough, I bet you could even access your games over NFS, though I wouldn’t recommend it.

4·14 days agoThis reads like an LLM with a large vocabulary failing to understand the actual context of the conversation. Lots of big words hurled with reckless abandon, lacking any real meaning and having little to do with the actual point.

3·16 days agoPachelbel’s Canon is probably the most widely familiar forgotten song/melody that nearly everyone alive today has probably heard in some form, most without ever realizing it.
When I call a fern (or wolf, crab, crow, whale, shark), at that level of syntactical broadly used common word I’m mostly talking about the phenotype, not the genotype. If someone was saying something about a specific fern, then we can argue against those romantic idea of deep time, a little. I mean, we’re probably all descendants of some ancient panspermia event anyway if you want to feel some connection to the ancient forgotten past.

The effects of subatomic particles, even high speed ones, are apparent even if you are unaware of the cause.

Absorbent towels. I guess if you’d always used fabric softener, you’d never know how much more effective towels are when they haven’t been abused by fabric softener or drier sheets.

1·1 month agoBecause the question takes a backseat to showcasing the OP’s product link. They aren’t trying to sell us on some carnivore product though (as seems to be their normal posting mode), so it was probably an accident. I guess once you start selling bullshit non-stop it’s hard to stop sounding that way. The way they were so quick to pull and regurgitate those stats about you was a real internet marketer move though. Sneaky of you to trick them into exposing how creepy they are.
The article
you keep linkingdisagrees.Although having given its name to the word henge, Stonehenge is atypical in that the ditch is outside the main earthwork bank.
An atypical example of something is still a “true” example of the thing, especially given that the very term derives its origin from Stonehenge itself.
Edit: Oops, mistook 2 basic pedants regurgitating trivia as the same person.
That’s a subtly and nuance that will be lost on A LOT of people. Clearly it’s a distinction that OP’s roommate is not ready to confront, which probably tells us something about the attitudes of his family as well. But, in the end, it’s rarely so simple as chucking someone into a bin for convenient stereotyping based on one person’s story about another person’s feelings.

Technology@lemmy.world•DIY E-Reader Folds Open Like A Book (Diptyx)English
2·2 months agoBeing able to fold down a larger “sheet” display so that it fit in a pocket would be pretty cool. Having extra room for reading things like maps and comic books is so much better than pinching and zooming on a pocket sized display. What you call limited purpose, I call functional design. I’m kind of over all-in-one devices. They’ve turned into Jack of all trades, but master of none.
Obviously that’s not what this device is, but it got me thinking about why I’d want a device with multiple e-ink displays or a foldable display.


Yes, I read your comment. It’s okay if you didn’t understand my comment. Clearly you don’t understand how filesystems and drive mounting works under Linux or the role of desktop environments in managing filesystems, mounting, and permissions. I don’t doubt that you’re genuinely struggling here, but there is no call for that kind of hostility. You might have some hope for figuring it out if you open your mind to the fact that you don’t fully understand what your problem is.
Steam expects the games to be in a particular place with a particular set of permissions and ownership relative to the user(s) and/or group(s) expected to use those game files. I’m telling that Linux doesn’t care where those files physically reside. You can tell Steam that those files are exactly where Steam expects them to be at the filesystem level, without messing with Steam configs, nautilus, gnome, or KDE. There are several ways to do this, but without understanding the requirements of your machine no one here will be able to give you effective advice.
I’ve seen some other comments from you about running something or other as root or just blanket chmods to 777 and I can tell you from experience that those are rarely effective solutions and can sometimes make things worse (just try something like that when configuring ssh configs, keys, and permissions).
