Just ask the dragon if it needs headpats

@awooo
This is a good strategy. Who doesn't want a dragon friend
Seirdy@pleroma.envs.net
will they be okay though? :chick_pleading:
needs a sequel
davidrevoy
@Seirdy They'll get away with it, perhaps with their egos slightly bruised and their clothes slightly burned in the intense escape that should arrive in panel 5. π

Ray_Of_Sunlight@mastodon.social
And this, kids, wis why Windows kinda sucks.
ArneBab@rollenspiel.social
@Ray_Of_Sunlight not only windows β¦ sadly.
What sucks is when those who break something donβt take responsibility to fix it.
Sadly they are hipper than the ones who donβt, because they move faster.
Ray_Of_Sunlight@mastodon.social
@ArneBab Lack of accountability? Sounds like come out from western women.
ArneBab@rollenspiel.social
@Ray_Of_Sunlight no, what you say is bullshit. This has nothing to do with west vs east and nothing with men vs women.
Ray_Of_Sunlight@mastodon.social
@ArneBab I mean, if that's false, i mean, you can't place all the people on the same sack, that's a fact, but, generally speaking, how come a lot of women (From the US) are expecting to have the accountability of a child?
ArneBab@rollenspiel.social
@Ray_Of_Sunlight this does not match my experience at all β neither with women in tech nor with women in general.
Rather the opposite: they arenβt the ones arguing to move fast and break things.
So continue with that misogynism (via generalized badmouthing of women, whatever your experience in your life) and this discussion is ended.
Ray_Of_Sunlight@mastodon.social
@ArneBab Explaining it's not worth it at this point. No matter how kuch i try. π€¦ββοΈ

@doctormo True, I needed a very common tragedy this time. π
2 βI have to heal from an experience with my last distro.

As Shakespeare once wrote:
"Be not afraid of updates: some are pre-installed, some update themselves and some have updates thrust upon themββ

"In the midst of a deadline, do not disrupt the flow by updating your GNU/Linux distribution." ~~ Lao Tsu
25 βdoctormo@floss.social
Most of the autumn/spring was spent updating kernels. π
βraghukamath@raghukamath.com
@doctormo but sometimes it takes immense courage to overcome the desire not to press that update button, particularly when you have deadlines π life is boring without some thrill
βnatsume_shokogami@mastodon.world
@doctormo Sometimes I even update my GNU/Linux during or before work or college, never care if it breaks or not π€£
βdoctormo@floss.social
@natsume_shokogami
The other sword comic:

@doctormo
At least after each Linux update, I get at least:
- A few percent performance improvements on features that I never heard of or only relevant on servers or IoT.
- Some interface changes on DEs or features that I don't use.
- Improvement on like Wayland, WINE, Proton, your DE or WM (bonus if you use GNOME), Flatpak, orr other apps,... after tons of infightings from the devs.
- Disrespect backwards compatibility and break standards (*cough* GNOME *cough* again)
albi@pixelfed.eu
If you know yourself, but not the software distributor, for every update gained you will also suffer a defeat.

we won't tell on which OS the sword was running on :ablobcattrash:
βdavidrevoy
@grum999 π€« π Yes.
2 βBy the way, the new one :debian: is just perfect. π
grum999@social.maou-maou.fr
it has always been perfect :ablobcatcoffee: :blobcathappy:
βraghukamath@raghukamath.com
@grum999 I think the old one was too cutting edge π
βgrum999@social.maou-maou.fr
@raghukamath I've started with #Debian 8... I can't tell how it was before but I've been satisfied with it from the first day
Since Debian 8 I've only tried KDE Neon for a while but it was too unstable & bloated for me, then back to a Debian and happy again :ablobcatrave:
Even more, since I came back to Debian, I've learnt to install my Debian in terminal mode (no desktop) and then proceed to install of a minimal KDE desktop to avoid to have all KDE stuff I don't use and don't want :ablobcatcoffee:

Oh, that's why the Master Sword breaks... πΉ
βArneBab@rollenspiel.social
Iβve been annoying people for years by linking βvolatile softwareβ, βavoid soft traumaβ and βvolatile infrastructureβ.
I donβt understand why itβs so hard to understand that an update must not break what worked before.
Except that those who break things move faster, so they are celebrated as disruptors.

@ArneBab Thank you for the collections of links, I'll read them carefully! π
βArneBab@rollenspiel.social
One of them is mine (volatile infrastructure).
βodysseywestra@linuxrocks.online
As an Overwatch player... that was punch in the gut...
βdavidrevoy
@odysseywestra Outch! I understand. I'm not a player of the franchise myself, but I followed what happened over the last years by following video published by gaming channel on the topic.
odysseywestra@linuxrocks.online
Yeah, sometimes I think they do it on purpose too. It can be rough since I mainly play tank and I have a hard time keeping up. I just want to play the heroes I like and not get into this counter play BS that going on.

βThe other side of the blade has a sticker that says "warranty void if removed from scabbard."

"Please log in and provide your credit card number to enable your sword for the new mandatory monthly Firesword Subscription Program (FSP). Sword use now costs $19.95 per month and 50 cents per swing."
davidrevoy
@bhahne π€£ π€£
βGood idea, I'll keep it π€ I need one day a forced monetization variation.
Also, maybe a change of focus on the project and a refactoring: the sword become a large spoon.
So much to cover. This poor character might endure them all.
bhahne@mastodon.online
It's inspired by HP's horrible "pay monthly to use your own printer" plan:
https://www.howtogeek.com/hp-wants-you-to-pay-a-monthly-fee-and-rent-a-printer/
"... If you have a 200 printed pages limit but print 210, you'll get charged another $1 for those ten or so extra pages."
βjlin@fosstodon.org
yes!
βmksc74@mastodon.art
poor girlβ¦ her sword didnβt deserve this.
βnatsume_shokogami@mastodon.world
I have to endure #Windows as my old #Linux machine got irrepairably broken and I don't have time to reinstall everything on #Linux. Anyway maybe I'll reinstall it next week so I can leave it for good

βntoyohito@comicscamp.club
βHehehhehhe. This is straight of life xD Also this char has Toriyama style all over π
davidrevoy
@ntoyohito Oh yes, I literally learned to draw in the 80s/90s by copying Dragon Ball. It's part of my root, and I'm really proud when someone notice the large influence he had on my work. Thank you.
ELSimms@ecoevo.social
That was me this morning as I was late to a zoom meeting as windows did a blue screen followed by a firmware update. Grrr!
βdavidrevoy

βShatur@mastodon.social
Love your art!
I always wanted to ask, what hardware do you use for drawing? Just looking for a portable device for drawing for my wife :)
davidrevoy
@Shatur Thank you! Right now, I'm using this tablet since end 2023 (that I love) https://www.davidrevoy.com/article1004/xppen-artist-pro-16-gen-2-review-on-gnulinux , and running on this PC configuration https://www.davidrevoy.com/article806/review-my-digital-painting-workstation-pc-on-gnu-linux (on Debian KDE 12).
I'll share later today an article about my setup updated. π

Awesome, thank you a lot!
βShatur@mastodon.social
In the video you also mentioned your 8BitDo Zero 2 and a keypad. Do they replace a full-sized keyboard for you or do you use them with a full-sized keyboard?
davidrevoy
@Shatur They do not replace a full keyboard, but they help at getting a better access. https://www.davidrevoy.com/article989/how-to-customise-a-usb-numeric-keypad-under-gnulinux , I use a lot the small 8Bitdo one, you can see it in yellow here https://www.davidrevoy.com/data/images/blog/2024/debian-kde/2024-05-30_01_thumbnail.jpg (a photo I just posted, very fresh). It's more a favorite collection of shortcut.
Shatur@mastodon.social
Thank you! I have 8BitDo Micro, it's very similar, will try to configure it for Krita :)
βlufthans@mastodon.social
this is why I set my swords to only security updates and only when I initiate the updates :)
Full updates wait until safely back at camp enjoying some peace and quiet
