Love Linux, been using Manjaro with Gnome for the last 10 years, but need to use Mac on my current job, so I tried to approach this constructively and work around the rough edges:
* Rectangle Pro for window management
* Better Display for better picture on non-4k display
+ a couple of more similar tools
+ retrainig muscle memory from Ctrl to Cmd and Emacs-y instead of Windows-y shortcuts
Feels okay now. Plus native ms365 apps, smooth sleep mode, great hardware and great battery time -- mac has its sweet spots as well.
Despite this, I still think YAML is a nice configuration language. The problem is not with YAML, it's with the whole complexity we're trying to represent there. Whatever configuration language you use, the outcome will be the same. Reduce the complexity, and it will shine.
Exactly there I was hit so many times by not using quotes around file permissions, because 0644 is interpreted as 420 and Ansible sets the permissions to '-r---w----' instead of '-rw-r--r--'.
For those used to /usr/bin/chmod remember that modes are actually octal numbers. You must give Ansible enough information to parse them correctly. For consistent results, quote octal numbers (for example, '644' or '1777') so Ansible receives a string and can do its own conversion from string into number. Adding a leading zero (for example, 0755) works sometimes, but can fail in loops and some other circumstances.
"Our aim is to shed light on the truth, offering you three distinct paths that lie ahead. No conspiracy theories, just rigorous research, and undeniable facts."
1. Earth and the Solar system as a whole are undergoing a 12k year climate cycle caused by yet unknown astronomical processes.
2. These processes heat up and destabilize the Earth core, however the oceans due to being filled with plastic garbage cannot compensate for this heating.
3. If we don't find solution to the above, the Earth core overheating will cause unbearable earthquakes leading to a planet self-destruction in the near future.
These theses are based on a multi-year inter-disciplinary research based on public and recognized scientific studies.
As mentioned in the video, this is caused by a 12k cyclic process happening on Earth as well as the whole Solar system. Please watch it as a whole for more details and references to further sources. This information is simply invaluable.
In his address, Egon Cholakian reveals the true and shocking reasons behind global climate change, climatic anomalies, and catastrophes that are escalating worldwide. Egon Cholakian explains the pattern of recurring climate catastrophes that we are currently experiencing. This pattern is reflected in a unique mathematical model indicating a geometric progression in the growth of climate catastrophes, which could lead to the demise of humanity in the coming years. As Egon Cholakian stated, "Our planet is on the brink of self-destruction, and humanity has only a few years left to prevent the impending catastrophe."
Egon Cholakian proposes the only viable and scientifically substantiated solution available today that can save us from a global climate catastrophe. Action must be taken soon while we can still change the situation. This information is being revealed for the first time.
Egon Cholakian, is a qualified Particle Physicist, affiliated with the preeminent CERN particle physics laboratory as a Future Circular Collider technology developer. Collaborates in the arrangement of NASA’s NISAR mission. A member of the International Association of Intelligence Educators and an international tax Law professional. Served as a Legislative Tax Analyst attached to the President's Commission on International Trade and Investment Policy under President Nixon and President Ford. Worked with the Reagan Kitchen Cabinet, and Reagan White House within President Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative project. In total, Egon Cholakian worked with four U.S. Presidents. Currently serves as a federal lobbyist at The U.S. Congress and White House. Egon Cholakian has emerged as a prominent voice on climate change and national security-related matters.
No, it's not a stretch. They define rules in their Community Guidelines, which seem reasonable and user-friendly. But then they all at once terminate a fair bunch of accounts that had existed for 10 years, contained thousands of videos, and always strictly followed their Community Guidelines with no explanation. How is that called?
Well, it just shows what monster the service and the monopoly behind that started with a "Don't be evil" policy has become over the years.
3 days ago, on January, 25, YouTube did a massive termination of the channels of the worldwide volunteer project "CREATIVE SOCIETY".
These channels had existed for about 10 years, and had never abused any of the YouTube policies. They were terminated by YouTube at once having been given neither a preliminary warning nor a detailed explanation of the reasons for termination. The whole video content was permanently deleted without giving the account owners a chance of backing it up. Even the private channels of the moderators were deleted.
The "CREATIVE SOCIETY" channels contained thousands of high quality volunteer-made videos on the most important topics for humanity, including crucial information on the climate change, deep analysis of the current social, economical, and geopolitical crisis, as well as the ways out of it by means of a peaceful evolutionary transformation of the profit-driven format of our society into a human-centric one.
YouTube is known for its dictator-like behavior, but now it's crossing all borders of humaneness. Will we remain silent, while our basic human rights are being abused right in front of us? Will we keep playing along with this democracy farce and pretend that everything's okay?
Dear friends, please watch the online international forum "Global Crisis. Our Survival is In Unity", while it still can be found on the Internet to get a deep understanding of what is happening.
It turns out that my Manjaro is already running Gnome 40. Honestly, I didn't even notice when this upgrade took place, but now I finally get why the icons have changed! :D
Gnome may not be perfect, but as a DE it provides enough features, flexibility, simplicity and visual appearance. In the end, it's not the DE you're working with, you just need it for setting up your system, running your apps, window management, etc. Best is when you just forget about having it and Gnome is okay with that regards.
I think this anxiety comes from deep inside of me reminding that I've lost myself in that moment. It helps to just stop doing whatever I am doing, shut off my mind, turn to myself, and re-establish the connection with my inner self, which I tend to loose sometimes in the everyday hectic.
And what also helps me to retain and to strengthen this connection is simply love. Basically, to replace the negative thoughts, ambitions, etc. with truly positive values and things, to start caring about the people around, doing something good for the others without expecting anything in exchange and many other good things, which I'd never thought of before.
The books here have helped me to make the first step back then and are still helping me to stay on this way:
Whatever dream or wish you have, sooner or later, whether "successful" or "failed" by whatever measure, you realize that you've reached its bounds. Please don't reduce his words to pursuing something material, because it's much more than that, as hinted by:
> You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter.
For me this "never give up" does not mean fighting through this life, it means "never give up on yourself", on that sparkle in your eyes, on your inner smile, on the light inside you, call it however you want.
Go all the way with it, don't trade yourself for whatever "benefits" offered to you, well, by your own mind, first of all.
Once you're out of _that_ slavery, then you're truly free wherever you are and whatever you do.
Feels okay now. Plus native ms365 apps, smooth sleep mode, great hardware and great battery time -- mac has its sweet spots as well.
