“Wallah” and “Wallahi” are the same word in Arabic. The latter spells out all the diacritics, but the last diacritic of the last word can be dropped in Arabic so people may drop the “Kasra” (E or Y sound).

When you want to exaggerate a word you usually put extra emphasis on the last diacritic or letter if it’s a vowel, so you must sound it out.

Just yesterday I had the “Memory shortage avoided” message after opening the gazillionth Firefox tab. The wording with the bomb icon is very funny. It really makes you imagine the kernel murdering the unsuspecting process in cold blood and then reporting to you what was done and what actions are expected of you calmly.

Oh, thanks. The site is back online.

This is good news, but the title makes it seem a lot more interesting than it is. Everyone here already uses VPNs for everything, 'cause it’s all banned.

This is weird though, because other distros like Arch, Debian, and their derivatives (even corporate ones (e.g. Manjaro)) were working fine. Even Flathub didn’t require a VPN. isn’t that hosted by Red Hat too?

Site is currently down (undergoing maintenance). What does this even mean? a forum for Syria specifically? a mirror?

If this is a forum or the like shouldn’t it be an Arabic / middle eastern forum? that would make more sense

People knew Epstein didn’t kill himself and knew he was killed off to hide lots of terrible things. And of course knew that meant powerful and rich people were involved in unspeakable acts. But then to be able to point fingers at specific people (especially those who are in position that make claims against seem like slander used politically e.g. Trump) you have to get more than claims to implicate them.

Still, being certain someone committed a crime because multiple people, women, men, cameras or TVs said so doesn’t seem reasonable without evidence.

That’s very very unlikely to happen.

What might happen is you can’t run some version of Linux because of some bios setting and you’re left with no working OS on the machine (Even when it does boot fine from the USB, the installed one may not boot because of secureboot, legacy boot mode, or something else).

So when you finally do decide to take the leap, keep a windows ISO burnt into a USB around.

but today citing ChatGPT

There is no way that’s true

Black tea refers to the visible degree of oxidation of the tea leaves

Makes sense

grapes are called that because they produce white (clear) liquid

Even if it produced indisputably white liquid. Why not call it after its own color while tea is named after the color of its processed leaves?

You’d expect tea which is thought of as a drink to be known for the color of the liquid, and grapes often eaten as is to be named after their color.

But it doesn’t really matter, any of these could’ve been named after whichever color they were at any point of their making / preparation. It’s not like there’s a convention or something

Red foxes are clearly orange. Black tea is clearly red. White grapes are clearly green.

Most Shiites, Sufis, some Sunnis, and lots of other denominations either don’t see it as Haram or see it as a frowned upon act, not entirely forbidden.

If you’re talking about not pissing off Sunnis, then that’s a bit harder (as usual). Depictions are controversial for the following:

• (To mitigate another issue): The fear of Idolatry, as lots of Muslims believe that this is one of the reasons ~“Christianity was corrupted and became polytheistic”.

• (Haram) Because the depiction of living things is forbidden by some hadiths. [1]

• (Frowned upon) Because of the ways such depictions might be stored later on. Some consider it Haram to simply throw away things with the names of one of the prophets or the word “Allah” for fear of it being mistreated (e.g. stepped on or altered) and extend that to the depictions of prophets (This extends the rule to all prophets of Islam, as such lots of children’s cartoons use calligraphy or censor out depictions of all prophets). [2]

So yeah, there you go…

Also when you want to degrade, insult or like offend a person hardly you tell him “your mother pussy”.

Somewhat NSFW

Sorry, that was just a joke that came off wrong. I understand you were just trying to help.

Yeah, that’s the solution I asked about (last line of my question). I was just trying to make sure that this is ok and won’t tangle up my code later on.

I’m not sure why you’re using as to make the module name longer? Usually, if I use it at all, I use it make things shorter. Anyway, once you’ve imported dep2, you can call dep2.some_fn().

That was just for the example (clarifying order of import). The actual code has imports such as from src.formatter import Formatter as fmt; always making the name shorter.

Thanks for the suggestions

Are you accusing me of not reading tfm? because I did, but was expecting this specific situation to be clarified on stackOverFlow, geeksForGeeks or somewhere similar. Since it seemed like this import pattern should be common.

ofc. It’s weird how no one asked this before with how little help articles mention __init__.py.

Items that you define in __init__.py or import into it will be available to import from the module: from .submodule import some_fn

That will be very useful. Thanks for your quick reply!

Both Wayland & Linux try to support Nvidia, but Nvidia wasn’t cooperating. Software, especially software as big as DEs can’t stay tied to old tech & hardware forever.

I’d say GNOME kept X11 around for long enough and Linux worked hard on supporting old fussy hardware.

it feels like a “web app” more than a website. Like, it somehow needs to “load” after loading the page… unlike classic forum softwares that just instantly show the pre-rendered page.

I kind of like this behavior. If you’re writing a complex website with user posts, comments, tags, and other nifty stuff and want it to stay modular it’s almost guaranteed that you’ll end up with this loading behavior (unless you want to SSR everything).

ui also feels way too ‘simple’, hard to navigate and has low info density. i guess this is how more people nowadays prefer things to work

Don’t know about that, I find it easy to navigate with the consistent sidebar elements. Searching for posts is easy since they’re usually well tagged and have good titles. Searching for solutions and checking out community contributions and votes is about 90% of my use case for a forum. Maybe you have different use cases.

I don’t get why people like that forum software :/

feature packed with a really clean and user friendly UI + each distro can easily customize it to add lots of their own brand identity (Manjaro especially appreciates this).

I don’t have a problem with it not loading correctly, and it loads quickly even on somewhat slow internet (using Firefox).

There are always problems with the global menu widget on Plasma. And recently it has been refusing to work as a single button, instead I have to switch to showing all options as separate buttons which looks terrible with my panel setup.

Also applications making packages that could have easily been optional, required, just because users will think the app has broken functionality otherwise. KDE Plasma handles this best by replacing setting pages in the setting app with a note with instructions and showing normal warnings in other apps.
