    surprisingly it didn't. however about 2 hours later, after upgrading aur packages my aur helper broke

    [โ€“] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

    If you're trying to be darkmode friendly, you should try using something dark for the background with light text, because this only achieves a bad contrast ratio, and it is actually worse for most of the people looking at it.

    For a grey background, yellow text is usually preferred.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

    Usually, they use a light grey instead of white, so the text doesn't become overly bright, but not yellow, that's usually reserved for highlights or similiar effects, except when in โ€žHigh contrast modeโ€, when they use yellow for text/outlines and black as a background

    My strategy is to add updates to an hourly cronjob, and curse profusely when it downloads a bad update.

    You mean you don't have yay -Syu --noconfirm in your .bashrc?

    This is the arch way

    [โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

    I update only when I reboot the machine or I have to. So it is normal for me to go 3, 6 months without updates. So it is always like 1 to 5 GB of updates. And that is because I decided to not install texlive again.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

    laughs in Tumbleweed with texlive

    [โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

    I installed a KDE latex math tool that came with texlive as a dependency. Shit's awful when doing updates.

    I ended up uninstalling the tool and texlive, and installed tinytex instead. I then tabood texlive and reinstalled the tool from software.opensuse.org as the YAST GUI allows you to ignore dependencies.

    It works in the KDE tool and in one note taking app with latex math support, but I haven't tried adding new packages yet. I don't know how good of a solution this would be if you use latex outside of just rendering a couple of equations, but it could be worth a shot

    Slowroll can alleviate that pain, if you're fine with non-security updates being delayed by up to six weeks or so.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    It actually works perfectly, i just hit it on Friday mornings when i remember and it is done in 15 min or so. I love Tumbleweed

    [โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

    I do this with arch too and there's no issues. I spent 1 month without updating once because life is a bitch and it updated just fine. 1k updates sure, but meh.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    IIRC they ship security updates immediately.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

    You must've caught my comment shortly before I snuck that "non-security" into there. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

    I run POP_OS, so I have to depend on Steam updates to randomly turn my laptop into a jet engine.

    What is that crap? Someone needs to ILoveCandy ... Newb

    [โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

    Nah i left it out on purpose. I prefer the default in this case

    [โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

    I actually had to switch away from testing to stable due to NVidia + Kernel 6.11 being very buggy, especially in games. My Laptop and server are still holding strong with Non-NVidia GPUs using testing though!

    The only orgasm arch users will ever get

    [โ€“] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago (2 children)

    Hey. Just because my partner (understandibly) didn't last long enough fucking me for me to orgasm via prostate stimulation through anal doesn't mean I get no action.

    Why the hell did this comment section turn German all of a sudden...

    [โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Because there are a lot of germans here, and once we meet there's a high chance further messages will be based on german jokes or topics, so continuing in english would be kinda pointless.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    It's just so funny that you go from discussing about file reductions on Linux to sex and then start talking in German...

    [โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

    You just gotta follow the conversation as it continues.

    What an insane thing to just randomly post!

    Edit: ich bin nichtmal รผberrascht das du Deutsch bist.

    Ich hab nur auf den Kommentar geantwortet, da ich es lustig finde, dass die Person gleichzeitig Recht und mies Unrecht hat.

    i can barely read the text D:

    [โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    May i ask which text specifically?

    Cause for me everything is easily readable

    [โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    the black text with gray background. i was in a slightly sunny place and my phone's brightness isnt very good, and together with the low contrast (dark text on dark background) its almost unreadable

    [โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Ah sorry 'bout that. I tried to make it darkmode friendly, and white text seemed to bright. Will consider this next time

    [โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

    maybe a light gray would be good but i think a black or very dark gray background with white text is the best option

    [โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Does your lemmy app let you zoom images at all? Or is it still too small when you do?

    [โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

    the text on the top of the image has low contrast and i was on a sunny place, so it ws almost unreadable
