Please never delete application's .desktop files unless you created them yourself. It can confuse both you and your package manager. If you want some file type to never be opened by a program, override it's .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications instead.

While I can use any of the mentioned stuff (apart from MacOS, I suppose), there is one type of person that scares me. A wild LFS daily driver.

MPV is pretty much a gold standard for video players, it's a bit more keyboard focused, but basic functionality is fully accessible through the GUI.

But I don't think VLC should struggle with embedded subtitles. Maybe you can feed your video file to ffprobe and share the output for a bit of troubleshooting?

My highest ratio on a transfer is on one I had for almost a year and a half and it's 48.44 GiB down to 1.676 TiB up, which amounts to around 490 for ratio. Everybody loves this collection of Linux ISOs, it looks like.

Both Haskell and Rust are functional and the video is a very blatant satire. Either you are confused or you are trying to be funny and I'm not getting it.

Because Rust is cool.

God I spent too much time arguing with people who say that heat pumps are >100% efficient...

Hotkeys related thing that got me is the fact that on almost any DE you can configure your own hotkeys the way you want them, you don't have to use the ones Microslop thought are good. Using three languages, layout switching was an absolute pain with what hotkeys Windows has to offer.

正 character is used as a tally mark in Chinese influenced cultures. It has five strokes, works exactly the same as any other tally mark you can encounter.

For anime memes, in hentai (as a genre of anime) female characters would have tally marks on them for the number on intercourses they had. As it's predominantly produced in Japan, tally marks are represented with a 正 character, as Japanese culture is influenced a lot by the Chinese.

I should probably note that outside of the western weeb culture it's just a regular tally mark without any lewd meaning behind it.

There is nothing more manly than clicking that "female" button on character selection screen.

I have a love/hate relationship with a lack of a comma somewhere around "old" in your message.

Am I missing something? We only had one episode so far and it's more or less in line with what I expected it to be.
