I don’t understand why they keep saying “the Trump admin is doing this”, “the Trump admin is doing that”, and so on. It isn’t the Trump admin: it’s the majority of USA citizens that’s doing this and that. They voted it. They’re the first responsible and guilty. Each and every single person in that majority.

Cheers! Apparently Ubuntu uses the relatime setting.

So what are the atime settings in a Linux distribution like Ubuntu?

Thank you! didn’t know about that command.

Edit: explicitly installing 10.1 with

sudo apt install wine-staging=10.1~focal-1 wine-staging-amd64=10.1~focal-1 wine-staging-i386:i386=10.1~focal-1 winehq-staging=10.1~focal-1

worked.

Thank you for the help!

But I can’t remove wine-staging, at least not via apt:

$ sudo apt remove wine-staging-i386

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 wine-staging : Depends: wine-staging-i386 (= 10.2~focal-2)
                Depends: wine-staging-amd64 (= 10.2~focal-2) but 10.2~focal-1 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

So no go there. --fix-broken doesn’t work either:

Any idea on how to remove Wine manually, bypassing apt?

The problem is that the whole apt system seems to be broken. It doesn’t let me install other packages, and I can’t even uninstall wine. So I wonder if any fixes from wine will work. It looks like this needs the user’s manual intervention.

but sudo apt --fix-broken install does not solve anything…

Cheers! Looks like a great fediverse platform. So sad that the choice of English-speaking servers seems somewhat limited - for now.

What’s Misskey? Never heard of! Time to check.

these autonomous agents represent the next step in the evolution of large language models (LLMs), seamlessly integrating into business processes to handle functions such as responding to customer inquiries, identifying sales leads, and managing inventory.

I really want to see what happens. It seems to me these “agents” are still useless in handling tasks like customer inquiries. Hopefully customers will get tired and switch to companies that employ competent humans instead…

Cheers! Got a bit clearer now.

Appreciated if someone can explain what is the problem and its context in simple terms 🙏

I understand the GNU “framework” is built on free, open source software. So I don’t understand how one can “discover” that there were pieces of non-free software there… They were put there by mistake?

😂

The current security philosophy almost seems to be: “In order to make it secure, make it difficult to use”. This is why I propose to go a step further: “In order to make it secure, just don’t make it”. The safest account is the one that doesn’t exist or that can’t be accessed by anyone, including its owner.

Just wanted to applaud the fact that you’ve come here asking people, rather than asking some large language model.

We aren’t supposed to accept that. We can simply not use their software. And as users that’s the only power we have on devs. But it’s a power that only works on devs who are interested in having many users.

Personally I disagree on value of sex/nude scenes – but it’s a subjective matter of course. Your final argument is absolutely fair and logical, and very general too. Extremely well put – I subscribe 110% to it!

It seems to me these scenes are introduced in films to sexualize them. Most often than not they don’t add anything to the story. But blood & sex get more viewers. So I find the whole thing hypocritical.

Brings me to mind an episode of the hilarious series “Coupling”, where Jeff says that the actress in the film “The Piano” (?) was naked in the whole film. His friends say she wasn’t, it was only a scene in the film. And Jeff replies “it depends on how you watch it” 🤣

Agree 110%! It’s sad because it pushes back those people who were curious about alternatives and were willing to try. Hopefully things will improve with time…

I’ve tried different clients: Element web, desktop, and android, and FluffyChat desktop and android. The problems seems to come, as other have written, when the matrix.org server is involved: it’s people from their handle there which experience glitches joining rooms in other servers. It seems this “part” of the fediverse still needs a lot of development.
