Me ~~unable to update my system,~~ trying not to cry while using Blender:

A low-poly, vertex color-only model of a tail-less gecko, pathetic-looking and purple under its eyes. The origin lines from the software Blender can be barely seen

Updated, so at least one issue down.

What's preventing you from updating the system?

Dependencies for Steamerror: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

:: installing lib32-libjpeg-turbo (3.0.4-2) breaks dependency 'lib32-libjpeg' required by lib32-mjpegtools

But in all honesty, I just can't be bothered to fix it.

My general tactic is to wait until things get fixed... has worked for many years, no longer it seems. Before this ~~I also got bit by an nVidia/systemd issue (won't always wake from suspend) that I did try to fix and updates didn't help either so instead I just shut my computer down now.~~ EDIT: This seems fixed now, too

It also does not help that I have 6mb/s internet (shared with other people) thus cannot really update frequently (and thus not auto-update). This isn't even my original install either, the re-install didn't help as long as I hoped.

I probably need to switch to something else, but packaging/updating always seems flawed. I tried Tumbleweed a while back, but was quickly annoyed by patterns and did not like the suggested work-around.

TL;DR: It me

Alright, trying it. I don't use Flatpak for anything else because of updating, but Steam updates itself anyway so that shouldn't be a factor.

EDIT: I forgot dependencies are a bit rough (almost 2GiB total) because sandboxing, so that might've been a bigger factor before

Re-installing worked, so I am not sure what happened with the dependency solver (hopefully this doesn't happen again soon). Though I am almost to the point Steam wouldn't be such a big loss especially if I can still play a few DRM-free games already downloaded.

I'm gonna propaganda this image hard.

[–] pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 2 months ago

That is allowed.

[–] tanakian@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

heh, but 'the good guy' also smokes. i don't know why, is it because we have this legacy image about thinkers and artists, that they should smoke, while their mind is occupied with eliminating the problems of the humankind.

i cannot help but perceive this image (not exactly your painting, but image of a thinker) as one that should be deprecated, since it romanticizes smoking.

You uncovered the hidden meaning behind the alleged good guy. Maybe Fossangel is not actually good :))

Nicotine is a stimulant, so it does help thinking. Should just drink some coffee instead though.
