Gotcha, thanks;
Haha, because I’m lazy and going with the fastest, safe way to reboot when I get stuck.
!!! I just learned about this recently because my PC has an Nvidia GPU and it sometimes wakes up from sleeping to a blank screen with just the mouse cursor showing.
I try that REISUB first but if that doesn’t do anything, I have to go to Ctrl-Alt-F3 and do “sudo reboot”.
Linux is fun except for when it’s not.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Software TerminologyEnglish
2·7 months agoYes! Agreed. But for some reason, the only word everyone uses these days is “glitch”. And I don’t know why, but that really fries my grits.

10·7 months agoThis is really, “what techs call it” and “what non-techs call it”.
As a tech, I usually know what someone means when they “app”.
It’s “glitch” that drives me mad though. Glitch sounds like a ghost caused the error one tine only, versus some lazy coder.
This, really?

Privacy@lemmy.ml•What would be a more privacy respecting service instead of Amazon?English
55·7 months agoI think my approach is fairly common:
- Do research on Amazon, find products, companies I want
- Leave Amazon, go directly to the company and buy it from them directly.
For example, last week I looked for a kit to grow micro-greens at home. Found one I liked, left the evil awful, bought it from the maker on their own web site. Repeat as often as you need.

11·7 months agoWilliam Gibson’s writing after the Sprawl trilogy always seemed very likely to happen. I mean, squatters living on the Bay Bridge in NorCal after it gets damaged in an earthquake, for instance. Not the really out there stuff.
