Gimme the repo and I’ll get it to compile on Arch, latest testing packages as per 2025-10-20T22:12:00 on repo.30p87.de/archlinux
What colors are your thigh highs?
Black-white, preferably pink-white. I overcompensate a lot for boymoding.
mine are pink white too :D
It’s too funny to me that Arch of all distributions attracts the thigh /Unix socks crowd (for lack of better word). Nothing about Arch stands out for me in that regard, there’s no social statement or anything, and when I was more active in the community, it wasn’t known for that.
I was deep enough into Arch to run my own private repository using aurutils, but no thighs :(
I have them but I use Debian mostly.
Sadly Im on Fedora.
Distrobox is a wonderful thing
Bad girl!
damn. that’s literally me.
If it’s in the AUR you can use a arch distrobox container
I’d be really careful with the AUR since it is the wild west
I mean technically so are repos to some extent. Many of them have very few maintainers and you are basically just blindly trusting that they won’t both miss anything malicious nor be the cause of it.
A little safer but not some ultimate Bastion of safety
Not really as repos go thought testing and most distros have reproducible builds.
AUR packages can be submitted by anyone with no testing or validation for the most part.
No, then you fix the code to work with your current system libraries and upstream the patch and version bump. This happens less on Arch, BTW ;-)
The last picture in the meme always bothered me, because the sequence doesn’t make any sense physically. (Popping the rake from mid air and doing the wrong flip and such)
So, I went on to find the sequence that I believe it was drawn from.
you think the sequence doesn’t make physical sense, but skateboarding on a rake is fine?
It’s like flying on a broom. Perfectly logical.
I know it’s completely off-topic, but anyway. No, I’m fine with the rake. That’s what’s makes it funny.
It’s the drawing of the skater that is too good, and that doesn’t add up with the other details being wrong. Someone who can draw a skater that good wouldn’t make the other things that wrong or even random.
The rake is drawn as doing a frontside shove-it, popped from mid-air and failing because of gravity suddenly changing in the middle of the sequence. The skater is “obviously” doing a varial heelflip instead of a frontside shove-it.
So that’s the clue to why I thought it was drawn off an actual picture. That the background is also a copy of the original only reaffirms my theory.
In hindsight I can also see that the skater is obviously Andrew Reynolds. The tuck and landing is his signature style.
*Laughs in Nix
*accidentally uninstalls python base package trying to fix dependency conflicts in apt
Last week was the first time I think I’ve ever got a random Internet tarball to
configure,makeandmake install. Program even did what it was supposed to too. I was amazed.Cue the Kelsey Grammer growl.
WHAT FRESH HELL IS THIS?!
Sorry, what does “not installing something” mean? Is it literal?
Giving up on installing the package
Ah, thank you! Something about the wording tripped me up.
It means that I did not installed a certain software due to the dev not providing any binaries or at least making it a little bit easier to compile it myself.
Fyi, it wouldn’t necessarily be better with a binary if you are missing dependencies, since it might have dynamically linked libraries (I’d say it probably does but tbh I’m not sure whether dynamic or static linked libraries are more common with Linux programs shared on the internet as my experience there is more with building them for work stuff rather than downloading and installing).
On Nixos
No nixpkg Make flake
Are you using a debian-based distro, perhaps? (Espically if it’s a stability-focused one)
It was on Fedora.
As a former Fedora user; if you know/want to know/learning how linux works, or if you are encountering this far too often, switch to EndeavourOS or Arch Linux if you’re sure. Don’t worry, 99% of things you care will work via Distrobox if you can’t find it neither on the official repos nor the AUR (impossible.).Edit: was
The only reason I am using fedora is because I wanted to try it out. I did use Arch (and also Endeavour) before but wanted to try out fedora.
Oh sweet Jesus! LOL! This is me, though not with Linux, but trying to use Macports to get some damn program running and failing miserably because I couldn’t get the permissions set on the dependencies correctly.
Rake right to the face. FML.
There should be some kind of automated certification for git repos, where if the described install process does not complete on a default install of the most popular OS, the software gets a big red “does not work” label.
I was gonna get mad but then I continued reading.
LOL!
We’ve all been there…
As a non IT person I find Linux way better for installing software. The sort of apps non IT people use. The Software store has most of what I need. There rest I install the Windows way. From a website. Apps with a Linux version almost always detect and offer a Linux button to click to install. I wouldn’t know what to do if that didn’t work. Ditch that application I guess. My distros are pretty standard. Not hacked about. My apps are not too weird. I’ve been doing it this way for 14+ years. Never needed the CLI either.
