I genuinely find arch easier to use and more reliable

I know partner, I am a fellow arch btw user.

Only major problem with arch is one of it's biggest strengths - new packages.

If you have relatively newer hardware, you are likely better using arch than debian, that is possibly what you have encountered

thing with endeavour os or cahy os is that, imo, arch is not a good distro to base upon. I consider them as arch installers with extra features. what you end up with is essentially arch linux (with some additional repositories). often you can get community support from endeavour/cachy os, but a majority of the time, problem is either better reported in arch forums or wiki. and they expect you to know more/better.

I wanted to learn, so i started with arch, but a person who wants a just works distro, i do not recommend arch much.

I mostly agree with you, except for section of (un)/recommending distros.

(my personal bias is for arch and debian, i love them)

for example, I do not think debian is a great recommendation for new users. And imo ubuntu is a good recommendation. Debian does not update often enough, and this can be problematic for users who do not know what packages/package managers are. so if they have a browser version insitalled which is 10 versions behind the current latest, they may lack features or fixes (but security should still be be good as debian does backport security stuff). a new user does not know of backports repo, or using flatpak to install it. also, ubuntu is very famous online, and all problems have been asked for ubuntu. and ubuntu and debian are almost compatible, but in case the end in a gui guide, where they use ubuntu, and have "ubuntu-isms" in their guides, debian user may feel confused.

and between fedora and suse, i would generally recommend fedora more as there are more fedora users so it is more likely to be able to find solutions to problems. as others have recommended, for fedora, one of the better ideas today is to recommend immutable stuff like aurora or kionite or ublue or all other siblings.

and I would also not put mint and pop_os in non recommends. Mint is very famous, and it is a good thing a lot of people recommend it. so many people starting out have a strong option being advertised. I understand your wayland ready worries, but for now, there is no immediate issue to use X if you are not gnome. mint is working hard on wayland, and ypu can experimentally enable wayland, and it partially works. I can easily see them making wayland the default or atleast feature compatible within a year or so. Where as for pop os, you could already use cosmic shell in gnome wayland afaik. and now with actual cosmic de, which is made wayland only, and a major beta release in a month or so means it wayland ready imo. and most likely a stable release by april next year hopefully.

(my comment was mostly joke-y bit)

it’s very easy to have some ingrained racist views

I think part of the reason is that it is at least one part natural pattern recognition. I am from a "diverse" country and more than races, I mostly have region specific biases, of which, we have about 30 to pick from. So yeah, It is big pool to choose from. Naturally living in a diverse nation meant I never looked at people from races being inferior or superior. But at the same time, since I am from a particular region, and since your nature heavily depends on your surrounding, i have region specific things, and I am "region-ist". Like I do go "people from this religion are very loud" or "timid" or "stupid". But at the same time, my natural speech is not that harsh, and so even if i have regional preconcieved notions, I am not often hurtful to others.

thing is, models are too big now that vram iis not enough, so first ddr5 prices went to roof, and ddr4 production is simultaneously halting, and is still usable, so leftover ddr4 is also very expensive now

(I am a manga enjoyer)

If I have to choose b/w these 3, i think first is least problematic, so yeah, I must be racist

I genuinely can not even think how you mess this one up. highlighting a key being used is sign that click is registered correctly, and since highlighted key is what you expect, it seems the ui is supposed to pop that up. It also suggests that popping of keys happens independently of key input loop, and is likely that way for performance reasons. key entry should not wait for key pop up to finish, so they both must happen in parallel.

Now I guess the reason is maybe something like - hardcoding where a key would be in the display (or keyboard window coordinate) and if you register a click there, enter that key. Now that is roughly how a keyboard would work, but maybe they increased the hit target (you do not press at defined pixels on screen which lie exactly on middle of keys, so all keys have some "nearby fall zone" where if you click, the key is still registered. Now this should not happen normally, as pressing u should result in u, even if j's fall zone is large enough to get to it (it should not be, at least not until you do something like swipe input and some prediction which sees what is more likely for the given coordinate and previous letters). Maybe some where the calculation for zones is borked. and it's internal keyboard coordinate is not matching the keyboard.

Not saying errors in programs can not happen, but keyboard input seems one of things I assumed that you do once, and never touch again, as it is not really changing.

After having seen the chapter, my anger (see my comment on brief spoiler post) has cooled down a bit, because the frames look really good. Also, seeing the dialogue with frames, the back and forth between garp and roger, how they are emotional is special too. I wanted the fight to last longer, but another truth is, I don't want any of them to take more beating.

A goat has been downed, and 2 more are crowned.

Also for people who constantly keep asking why garp has not left the marines - listen directly from the goat's mouth - "If I leave, who is gonna save the marines"

Interesting point left out by spoilers is that rayleigh and gaban went back to the island (seemingly towards roger, and they would be the ones who would seemingly get roger and garp out, as they would also be knocked out for exerting all their haki).

My thoughts


I am disappointed. And I am one of those people who watches/reads one piece for the lore and not the fights. But for the biggest fight the story was kinda leading for hundreds of chapter culminating in just 1 chapter, or even half is disappointing. I think it is one part because none them are fruit users, so creativity wise you do not have much going and fight is effectively a haki measuring contest, and I am kinda sad that it got solved in a chapter. like seriously we could not do 2 chapters, when wano lasted 150, 90 chapters for effectively 1 single night, and the fight that made gapr and roger who they are is just 1 chapter. Are you swears kidding me. I am a big Oda (Goda) fan, but this is disappoitning. In reddit comments people said "oda left it all to toei", or "oda did all his action in luffy vs kaido and doess not want to do anymore" but like seriously?

How fast it ended kinda ended has kinda made me believe that they are adapting it for a movie and maybe someone from the production side has maybe given directions that they should not make manga reveal all the fight. I know I am being consipartorial (my first time for OP), but there does not seem any other way. I know from reading ~1200 chapters, Oda is not masterful at drawing fights, lots of people complain too. The sword fights lack, and the best are fruit fisghts. but luffy vs kaido was fun. Even in egghead, luffy vs kizaru was longer. Oda is not in a time crunch to finish manga soon.

Someone said that in flashbacks fights have always been short, but that is kinda not correct imo, because I do not remember any other big fight in flash back. only kinda fights in flashback are either just plot device, like oden and kaido fought, but since oden's family was kidnapped, he gave up. There is akainu vs ice admiral (i am having a brain freeze and can't remeber his name)(no pun intended), but we atleast got the fact that fight lasted 10 whole days (for those who have fought irl may know real life fights 1v1 lasting 10 minutes is large), and a island was devasted in fight, and maybe with actual chapter we will see more destruction, but right now this is not looking even as good. I can not think of any other major fights in flash back.

Regardless, this was "the fight" alluded for hundreds of chapters, this hould not follow any trends, it should be the exception.

Other things are as expected from the chapter. Dragon finally had a revolutionary moment. I kinda like "Marco Polo" bit (that would be his full name in english). But the fight has made me really sad.

that is a good point. I partially touched on it in my comment, but one of the thing happenning is they are clearing forest in one of our tropical islands, and "reflacing equivalent land" in a temprate only partially forested land. think after giving a full stab wound and adding a temporary bandage on to it. EVen if I believe your planting efforts puts in equal trees, you uprooted a tropical forest with rich flora and fauna, with a place which has no wildlife other than a few monkeys and some other common animals

i paid a repair shop for the swapping. ($15 includes everything, battery itself is around $10 port is around $2). Whole swap took around 20 mins. though this is a third world country, so double or triple that.

but for my device, there was full repair guide available online (ifixit). the only reason I did not repair my self is because I am kinda scared doing anything battery (it was partially swollen, and i do not want lithium fire). Other major reason is I do not have screw driver bits for phone. I can do laptop repairs myself, but phone screws are even smaller, and use fancy heads, so I can not use a pointed knife's edge to unscrew.

If your device has a ifixit guide, that would be the easiest way, they hand hold all the way through. If not, find replacement parts, see what it would cost, and maybe ask a repair shop for a price. if their quotation is within reason, then they can do a good job and you would not even need any other tools.

In fact, if I would have done it myself, I would have not repaired the port, as that required a bit more work than battery.

I see more activity on !onepiece@lemmy.world. Number of voters has not changed much, but definitely more posts/comments.
