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

I would suggest you to copy a reference layout from /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/(prefered language)

and then see what keys do not fit. it is a plain text file, and looks something like the following


    key <AD01> {[ q, Q, NoSymbol, NoSymbol, U211A ]};  
    key <AD02> {[ w, W ]};  
    key <AD03> {[ e, E, Greek_epsilon, eacute ]};  
    key <AD04> {[ r, R, Greek_rho, NoSymbol, U211D ]};  
    key <AD05> {[ t, T, Greek_theta, Greek_tau, NoSymbol, trademark ]};  
    key <AD06> {[ y, Y, dagger ]};  
    key <AD07> {[ u, U ]};  
    key <AD08> {[ i, I, integral, dintegral, Greek_iota ]};  
    key <AD09> {[ o, O, Greek_omega, Greek_OMEGA ]};  
    key <AD10> {[ p, P, Greek_pi, Greek_PI, Greek_psi, Greek_PSI ]};  
    key <AD11> {[ bracketleft, braceleft ]};  
    key <AD12> {[ bracketright, braceright ]};  

    key <AC01> {[ a, A, Greek_alpha, ae ]};  
    key <AC02> {[ s, S, Greek_sigma, Greek_SIGMA, Greek_finalsmallsigma ]};  
    key <AC03> {[ d, D, Greek_delta, Greek_DELTA ]};  
    key <AC04> {[ f, F, Greek_phi, Greek_PHI ]};  
    key <AC05> {[ g, G, Greek_gamma, Greek_GAMMA ]};  
    key <AC06> {[ h, H, Left, Left, Greek_eta, NoSymbol ]};  
    key <AC07> {[ j, J, Down, Down, NoSymbol, NoSymbol ]};  
    key <AC08> {[ k, K, Up, Up, Greek_kappa, NoSymbol ]};  
    key <AC09> {[ l, L, Right, Right, Greek_lambda, Greek_LAMBDA ]};  
    key <AC10> {[ colon, semicolon ]};  
    key <AC11> {[ apostrophe, quotedbl ]};  
    key <BKSL> {[ backslash, bar  ]};  

suppose you wanna switch q and e in this example, just switch them, and move this file to above location, and change layout from settings wherever you do (most de/wm have some place to change layout). I do this for greek symbols as you can see above, but you can do a lot like this.

I really would like the first 3. Others are fine as well, but the former 3 are really required if you run a even moderately politics related community

I recently got a replacement battery and also the usb c circuitry. Got it replaced for $15 (everything included). Phone is effectively new now.

that is indeed sad

(i am an arch user as well, but i mean this comment in good spirit, i am not tryinng to be sarcastic or downplaying)

have you tried bazzite/ublue or other "ready to use" immutable distros? In theory, 6900xt should work flawlessly with the open drivers that come with most distros. I do not think you have to buy anything. If you really want to buy, maybe 9070 (or 9060)(has that been released or not), but that would still be an upgrrade, and you seemingly want a downgrade.

file systems ideally should not matter at all for gpus. neither should encryption

ATI OS drivers for all GPUs, and drivers for AMD gpus

on arch, I do not think you have to do anything for arch drivers. you just need base linux package, and linux-firmware (default is all firmwares, but if you do not want want that, you just need linux-firmware-amdgpu). other than that, just vulkan-radeon for vulan, and that is about it. ypu may install something for monitoring power usage, maybe finnd something to under/overvolt, but that is it, there should not be anything required for setup.

distrobox is pretty cool. I do not use it right now, but i have used it and it worked fine.

Is there anything obviously wrong or bad about the idea to just use whatever distro you like on bare metal.

no. go with anything that gives you recent-ish updates plus security stuff (most good distros satisfy both).

I run Fedora right now but want to switch to something else.

any reason why do you want to do that. just trying out or any problems. fedora to me seems like a nice distro already. If there is any problem, maybe we can help.

Theoretically you could download the .rpm file which quite a few developers provide on and install it on Tumbleweed too?

It can work, but most likely it will not. to put it simply - most linux packages are effectively very fancy zip files. they use different containers and different compression algorithms. some (for example arch packages) are just zip files (or tarballs to be precise), and metadata is to be handled by separate files downloaded by pacman, hence you would not see people packaging anything for arch (you dont have to do anything). some others (for example debian deb packages) are zip file contaiing 3 other zip files. one of them is the package it self, other being metadata stuff (which have information of requirements, file lists, etc.). RPM packages are similar.

While suse also uses the same rpm packaging format, there is no guarantee that package requirements are packaged same way in suse as fedora. If a package does not have many dependencies, it will likely work, but I would still not recommend it.

But nearly all of them are only installable by executing a script and I don’t feel comfortable doing that.

there is a reason for that. they want something that works across distros and setups. also this way, they know how and where they installed theemselves, and after installation, they can manage themselves.

but for these programs, I would not worry much (the ones you listed are big projects, and trusted, and you just do this once). but more importantly - these install scripts are often very simple. effectively they just download some file from server (something like github release) and then extract to some desired location. other things they do include specific setup quirks management. What I mean is that these are simple enough, that I recommend just downloading the script and reading it. if it is not downloading anything unknown, it is fine. if it is not very readable, then that is a bad sign.

But the question developed if it would be wise to use distrobox to execute random internet scripts without altering your base OS/putting your data to risk.

no. things can escape containers. just try to not run scripts.

While I am very happy with this, I would like to add some context for India specifically.

To put it briefly, our current govt is not climate friendly, and I can say this without further reading, but our forest land has not increased, what has been done is clever redefinition of word forest itself.

Primarily, what would you consider to be true forest is given to big empires in name of development, and as a "eco tax" money is taken for planting elsewhere (which may have completely different bio-geography).

secondly, what would you define as sparse, or less dense forest, or just call them grasslands is also being labeled as forests now. this is done by lowering the required amount of trees per unit area in definition. essentially clever accounting.

Now, if the numbers are by some independent organisation, using satellite data or something, I would trust it and be happy, but if it is aggregating what the nations tell, then I do not trust it.

my thoughts -

I had heard the franky theory. I do not know what to say about it other than - NEPO PIECE IS REAL!

I did not catch the future vivi design in first glance, and comment chain in linked thread put into my notice that vivi is a CD in it. While oda previously has drawn bizzare future version, I do not remember him writing "if something happens". my guess is that that future is the one where luffy loses, and imu wins and since imu has interest in viv/lily. Some more fans to that flame i guess.

jinbei question caught me offguard ngl.

SAINT ROSWARD ROSWARD is a very interesting thing. for those who may not know, there are many theories for what the D stands for, and one of them is that it stands for Davy. It's audience got split when we learnt that xebec is Davy and goes by Davy D Xebec. Either it stands for something else (dawn/dusk/devil being other major candidates) or that it stands for Davy only (as in Davy Davy Xebec).

There are some other things hinting it for davy davy, like tony tony chopper, all fruits following the repition scheme as well.

So considireing this, either Oda is calling all people rooting for davy davy stupid, or he is hinting that the possibilty is still there (as in, in the world, repition is accpted). Either way, goda is playing us all fools, as is epected by goda.

[–] sga@piefed.social 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

there is indeed a theory that D stands for Davy, and their are plenty things relating to it (tony tony chopper, all devil fruits having the repitition scheme, and there is one more related to a latest sbs answer (i will be posting soon about it))

Nuclear plants receive subsidies in the US and most European countries.

but in most places, the official policy is not to expand their infra. it is either maintainance only, and/or decommision at end of life.

Subsidies for nuclear plants are usually payed out during construction and decommission of plants, but that’s still subsidies.

true.

but for other renewables, the actual material is subsidised. for example, in many places, solar panel installation recieve govt subsidies - 10-50%.

That does not compare in the least to the environmental damage and resource depletion that mining uranium causes.

please look up energy density of uranium. yes it still needs to be mined, but it is just so energy rich, that for equivalent energy production, it requires roughly 100x lower mining than coal. and just to say, we have a lot more uranium than coal (or any other fossil fuels, combined).

Unlike solar

just a side note, but solar panels have a life expectancy of 20-25 years. they also need replacement. and they can not be recycled well.

Uranium-235 is way scarcer than natural gas or oil

just the particular 235 isotope is rare, not all uranium. we do enrichment to concentrate the 235. and uranium is not the only element - there is plutonium, thorium. yes thorium reactors are always 5 years away, but that is partly because there is no interest for building more nuclear.

geological structures that are 100% known to remain stable into the far future.

this is kinda a solved problem. you essentially just drill 1 or so km deep, on lands which are far from tectonic boundaries. just put your waste, add cement/or rocks. then bury with dirt you mined. A great solution? no, but it works

In Germany, nuclear fission was successfully phased out for cleaner natural gas, without adverse effects on power grid stability, and with cost savings in the long run

which resulted in increased reliance over russia's cheap oil, which after the ukraine conflict started, meant much increased costs. in same period, france, which has a strong nuclear network, did not have an increased demand.
