xdg-open seems to do the same in Linux, since ‘xdg-utils’ oversee file associations.

I bet the GUI environments also have their own mechanisms to indicate that the app needs to close, before whipping out the signals.

More like, the app complains about not being able to find the window manager due to some environment variables missing in the shell env, and refuses to launch.

Alfred beats the pants off Spotlight as a launcher. Because of the custom actions, in particular.

Remarkable how no matter what’s going on, USians will find a way to look down on everyone else. When things are fine in the US, the rest of the world are bad for having their own problems. When shit hits the fan in the US, the rest of the world are bad for not caring about the US’ issues.

But don’t you know? A hotel worker in Minneapolis was fired over ‘doxxing’ of ICE agents! This is so important to know for everyone! One person said here on Lemmy that US politics posts are about the most important events in the world. We must demand a response from US partners to the firing of the Minneapolis hotel worker.

Ah, and also check out Mamaleek’s ‘Come and See’. They’re my favorite band for the past five years after hearing this album.

You can try fusion genres of jazz with something you like, and see if it’s fun that way. E.g. you’ve posted about The Lords of the New Church, who seem to have been playing punk and post-punk:

Jazz with post-punk: James Chance & The Contortions

Jazz-mathcore: Needle Play

Instrumental noise-rock/math-rock/punk-jazz: Lanzallamas

I might be able to throw in more names if you name other genres. In particular, I have a bunch of various jazz-metal, e.g. jazz-grindcore/ska: Le Scrawl.

Spoiler: it’s ‘The Substance’.

If critics liked it, but audiences disliked it, it’s probably technically good but boring.

Or it’s something fresh instead of the same junk that critics had seen hundreds of times (literally), whereas most of the public can’t be arsed with original but marginal concepts.

To add to what the above commenter said: afaik Grub allows specifying kernel parameters at boot by pressing some hotkey. You could type in the string from memtest86 if you find what the parameter should be called (or add the memtest parameter instead).

This is how all artists behave

What exactly leads you to feeling justified in posting such a sweeping generalizing comment?

WebOS was made by Palm Inc., one of the earliest and quite successful manufacturer of ‘personal digital assistant’ devices, aka smartphones without the phone part (and later with that too). They originally developed and licensed their own OS, PalmOS, but needed an upgrade for multitasking and such. webOS was thus intended for those PDA devices, and Debian would of course be a ridiculous choice for the task.

I have warm memories of PalmOS: i was snappy as heck with the 16 MHz CPU, but that’s largely because of the ‘single-tasking’ and quite limited app functionality.

Duplication of constants is a cherry on that whole cake of stream-of-consciousness code style.

large python codebases turn into spaghetti really quickly

I don’t think the language is the problem here. Seeing as Python isn’t somehow severely limited in its expressiveness or organization. Static typing isn’t a cure against spaghetti.

However, code in that particular file doesn’t inspire any faith in the authors’ organizing skill.

All of this would perhaps be already known to OP and other people, if the code had comments. This is where the adage comes in that the comments should explain why the code does what it does.

As the code currently is, anyone trying to fiddle with it would have no idea why large swathes of it are there. And it generally could use more than a bit of organizing.

Is there also a right click menu that handles all these concerns with usb drives?

Please, no need to exaggerate. What if you don’t close the writing session? What speed can you write at so there are no errors and it keeps the longest? How do you avoid buffer underruns? How do you write an ISO as an image instead of a file? Will it bootable too?

Wait until you hear about the band who put a c64 program into the runoff area of their vinyl.

And fails earlier. That’s why I’m thinking of backing up some stuff onto dvds again.
