nossa, essa proposta de isenção fiscal pra fazenda de servidor gringo no brasil me deixou tão puto com esse filha da puta. ele atropelou toda discussão sobre soberania digital que tá acontecendo no brasil, justamente no momento em que ela é mais relevante, e faz uma proposta que basicamente coloca a gente numa posição permanente de colônia digital

eu já sabia que ele era de direita, mas o que passou na cabeça desse canalha pra fazer essa merda? e foi uma canetada que ele fez sozinho, sem envolver nem o próprio ministério da ciência e tecnologia

antes disso eu tava relevando os petistas que ainda defendiam haddad com aquela explicação do "é o melhor que dá pra fazer" (apesar de ser mentira). agora eu quero que se foda, não vou deixar ninguém defender esse estrume na minha frente. ele desde o começo do governo foi um lixo, mas eu nunca imaginaria que ele colocaria a gente numa posição de colônia que impressionaria até um político do novo

i get a little annoyed at posts that start with broad statements like "is linux actually ready for the average user?" but then it's just someone asking for help to fix a problem they have with their sources.list or whatever. it's not a massive problem, but it's misleading and it feels borderline inflammatory sometimes

please tell when you're asking for help

anyone else noticed this? it started a few days ago

i want to test debian trixie (13) so i can report bugs and troubleshoot before the release later this year. i thought about simply installing trixie alongside my current bookworm installation, but that won't be my scenario when the time comes, since i've been updating my system instead of reinstalling it since debian jessie (8) and this time it won't be different. how can i clone my current system so i can simulate an update to trixie? do i simply create a new partition and copy my files over, then chroot to it and install grub?

alguém mais sente isso ou sou só eu?

edit: é possível que tenha a ver com o /c/linux@lemmy.ml porque eu fui entrar só nessa comunidade e ela demorou uma vida pra abrir também

eu fui testar o old lemmy esses dias e percebi que, no all (que é a listagem padrão do old lemmy) ele mostra conteúdo marcado como nsfw explicitamente. e não demora muito pra aparecer: na imagem que eu mandei, não precisa nem descer a página. não tem como remover isso na configuração. o melhor que dá pra fazer é mudar a listagem pra local ou subscribed

só um aviso pra quem por um acaso queira abrir o old lemmy no trabalho não ser demitido

i'm having a little bit of a hard time expanding the unstaged changes on magit. the mode menu works fine via touch on android, so i can do most operations, but i can't expand the unstaged files in the main magit buffer without the keyboard, which is a problem since read-only buffers hide the kb by default. i could change that configuration, but i'm using a phone, so screen real state is very limited, so i want to avoid that if possible. i tried touching, double tapping, holding, but nothing seems to expand the files

i feel like i'm in uncharted territory, so this is a long shot i think, but is anyone else having similar problems?

please dump any small browsers you know about, i'd like to try them out

the two i can think of are emacs's eww and links (text mode). eww has been surprisingly useful, even without js support and extremely barebones html rendering

this is eww:

!emacs window with eww displaying linux@l.ml's header

and this is links:

!terminal window with links displaying linux@l.ml's header

sadly, neither is able to login to lemmy, but I was able to login to mastodon through brutaldon

EDIT: ooh, i forgot about lynx (not links). also command-line. it managed to successfully login to lemmy:

!terminal window with lynx displaying this post before this edit

tl;dr if you have an encoding problem while running guile on emacs for android with termux, make sure the LANG env var on emacs matches the value of termux:

;; ~/.emacs.d/early-init.el (setenv "LANG" "en_US.UTF-8")

---

don't where else to post this, so i'm posting it here so it doesn't gets lost

emacs >=30 comes with android support. i've been using it for a while now, but it's really only useful if you can install applications to use it with. that's why the project offers an emacs package and a termux package with the same signature so you can share the termux binaries with the emacs runtime. packages and instructions here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/android-ports-for-gnu-emacs/files/termux/

i tried running guile on emacs with geiser a few days ago but it failed to run due to some encoding issues. it ran fine on termux

after a little googling, i compared the values of the LANG variable in both termux and emacs:

• termux: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
• emacs: LANG=en_US.utf8

then i just changed ˋLANGˋ on emacs to match the termux value and that solved the problem! to keep it working, i added the change to ˋ~/.emacs.d/early-init.elˋ:

(setenv "LANG" "en_US.UTF-8")

over on reddit, there's a distinction between /r/linux (general discussions) and /r/linuxquestions (community support). i notice a lot of support posts over here, which could warrant the split, but otoh maybe the volume of posts is not enough to justify it and it could risk spreading our community way too thin

what do you think?

psychiatrist looked at the neuropsychologic evaluation results of autism+adhd and was not convinced. not that there isn't anything going on, but he thinks my case isn't as conclusive as the results claim it to be and i'm still open to be diagnosed with maybe other kind of personality disorder (perhaps ocd). he's not discarding autism either, he's just adding other possibilities

(he's pretty sure about the adhd, though)

not sure what to think of it, and also not sure if i should stay here

hello

just got my neuropsychological evaluation results:

• level 1 asd
• turbo adhd
• eating disorder (more specifically, pica syndrome)

also a bunch of other things that aren't disorders themselves (neuroticism is the only one i can remember)

honestly, the primary feeling to me coming out of this diagnosis is "it's not my fault i'm a total mess". i thought the asd diagnosis would be more validating, but the fact that i'm in the 99 percentile in a lot of aspects of adhd really validates how i felt about this shit being really hard for me but easy for other people. it really flipped my perspective from "jfc i can't get my shit together" to "holy shit, how am i still alive and able to earn a living while living 1000 miles away from my family??"

i'm not gonna let this justifying not even trying to be better, but it makes me more assured that i am really trying my best, that failures will happen, and that i should be kind to myself and honest about my limitations

also, i bought a dishwasher and my depression has been cured. why wasn't i told about this before?

anyway, hello

i've instaled opensuse tumbleweed a bunch of times in the last few years, but i always used ext4 instead of btrfs because of previous bad experiences with it nearly a decade ago. every time, with no exceptions, the partition would crap itself into an irrecoverable state

this time around i figured that, since so many years had passed since i last tried btrfs, the filesystem would be in a more reliable state, so i decided to try it again on a new opensuse installation. already, right after installation, os-prober failed to setup opensuse's entry in grub, but maybe that's on me, since my main system is debian (turns out the problem was due to btrfs snapshots)

anyway, after a little more than a week, the partition turned read-only in the middle of a large compilation and then, after i rebooted, the partition died and was irrecoverable. could be due to some bad block or read failure from the hdd (it is supposedly brand new, but i guess it could be busted), but shit like this never happens to me on extfs, even if the hdd is literally dying. also, i have an ext4 and an ufs partition in the same hdd without any issues.

even if we suppose this is the hardware's fault and not btrfs's, should a file system be a little bit more resilient than that? at this rate, i feel like a cosmic ray could set off a btrfs corruption. i hear people claim all the time how mature btrfs is and that it no longer makes sense to create new ext4 partitions, but either i'm extremely unlucky with btrfs or the system is in fucking perpetual beta state and it will never change because it is just good enough for companies who can just, in the case of a partition failure, can just quickly switch the old hdd for a new one and copy the nightly backup over to it

in any case, i am never going to touch btrfs ever again and i'm always going to advise people to choose ext4 instead of btrfs

i'm seriously considering permanently abandoning laptops in favor of tablets. i spent a day working on my wife's tablet today and it was fine enough for when you're on the go that the small screen isn't too much of an issue. plus, you get an extended battery life, no noise, more comfort carrying it around, and the best of all, for much less money

the biggest downside is that, since tablets are technically embedded devices, they're much more locked up and you basically have no access to the system with the stock rom

so im looking for a cheap tablet ($100-$200), around 10 inches, that i can easily (or at least reliably) install linux to. any recommendations?

my new psychiatrist gradually took me off of ritalin+venlafaxin and introduced bupropion, first 150mg while cutting the venlafaxin dosage in half, and now 300mg of bup alone, completely removing venlafaxin

it's been 4 days i think since this last update and it's been fucking rough. i'm not sure if it's just the venlafaxin withdrawal or if the bupropion is contributing to it, but i feel like shit, i'm getting constant brain zaps unless i remain completely still with as little stimulation as possible, been having nightmares every single day, am extremely irritable and im not even sure the bupropion is even helping at all

is anyone else under the same treatment? it feels like a fringe/experimental treatment, but id like to confirm this from other adhders

thanks

edit: thank you so much for all the answers! they helped me to calm down and reassured me a bit. the symptoms are starting to wear off, so that also halped.

very late update: the venlafaxin withdrawal waned off and now i'm feeling so much better than before. this is working way better than ritalin

(this post obviously assumes the recent removal of russian devs due to sanctions is bad; no need to comment if you disagree)

a lot of people i know are considering jumping ship to some bsd after the recent MAINTAINERS debacle, but i'm skeptical it would make any difference. afaik, they're just as us-centric as linux if not more (it's the berkeley software distribution, after all). also, my biggest gripe about the bsds and the main reason i've never had any interest in them is their permissive licensing. permissive licenses suck

would there be any difference wrt sanctions in the bsds or moving away from linux to *bsd bc of that would be pointless?

i've been playing with cppfront for a few minutes now and it's been a surprisingly pleasant experience so far. i'm tempted to try it out at work to see what happens, but i wanna know if anyone tried to use it in production and what your experiences are

for those who haven't heard of it, cppfront is a cpp2 to c++ compiler, a bit like coffeescript for js. cpp2 is herb sutter's proposal of a new and cleaner c++ syntax with better ergonomics, better orthogonality, and better defaults

será que não temos pessoas suficientes aqui pra marcar um encontro emacs no brasil? acho que não precisaria nem ser na mesma cidade que todo mundo mora, eu mesmo moro no rio e estaria disposto a ir pra são paulo ou bh, já que são umas 8h de viagem e uns 200 reais ida e volta.

(edit: mods, i'm posting this bc i couldn't find any rules restricting the posts to english only, but i'll remove this post if you're not comfortable with a non-english post)
