Long ago, I solved all of the ways in which PHP made me sad…

…by abandoning it.

Nowadays we have better languages that can do the job at least as well.

Do these accept cash, or only ATM cards? (The latter would link your transaction to your bank account, of course.)

What do they give? A printout of a wallet address?

Their metric for “older” is two years or more.

Glad you got it working!

BTW, in case you’re not aware of it, you might find the shellcheck command useful when writing scripts.

I can’t tell from that error message whether the inner quotes are being discarded when the command is run, or just hidden when the error message is displayed.

Too bad it doesn’t tell you what part of the command is causing the syntax error. Have you checked for more info in the output of journalctl --boot _UID=1000? (Assuming your user id is 1000 and you use systemd.)

Re-reading the spec page that I linked above, I see reference to both a general escape rule and a quoting rule. That could be complicating things with the quotes and backslashes, and maybe even the dollar signs and semicolons, which apparently are reserved. In case it helps, I don’t think those semicolons are needed at all.

Before diving deeper into escaping rules, though, I would consider whether it’s time to move the whole command line into a script, and simply pass %f to the script in your Exec= line. That would avoid the need for nested escaping/quoting, and allow you to write debug information to a temporary file when the script runs.

You’re using single quotes in your Exec lines, which is not legal .desktop file syntax.

I suggest replacing your single quotes with double quotes, and replacing your double quotes with backslash-escaped double quotes.

TIL 7 is a “massive amount”.

Good point. I forgot about that possibility because I don’t spend much time playing in Open mode.

The same thing tends to happen on stronghold carriers in Solo mode, I suspect because Frontier programmed the game to spawn a bunch of NPC ships eager to dock with those carriers when a mini-instance is created. You can be the only player within light years, and still have to wait several minutes for all those NPCs to leave before you can dock.

*facepalm*

Ah… Yes, it was most likely a fleet carrier, then. Those are owned by players, and not always open to the public.

Was it Elite Dangerous? Stations grant docking clearance if you’re within range when you request it; I think it’s about 7500 meters. Check out the in-game the tutorials. One of them teaches this.

As someone who runs multiple desktop sessions at once, each on a different virtual console, sddm is a continual pain in my workflow. Notably:

• It assigns desktop sessions to virtual consoles inconsistently, and has no way to manually configure them, so Control+Alt+FN often switches to a session that’s not the one I wanted. The assignments can change from day to day or any time a session logs out and back in. This makes using multiple desktops a constant pain.
• I don’t know for sure, but I suspect it is behind the graphical glitch that makes the desktop session unlock screen draw incredibly slowly on KDE 5. Having to wait several seconds for each character in my passphrase to register is an annoying waste of time.

Wow… Given that the GPU was released just a few days ago, that’s impressive for open-source drivers. Thanks for posting this.

Lenval Brown, who voiced the narrator in Disco Elysium, will return for Hopetown and voice a key character.

That man’s voice was amazing in Disco Elysium’s opening:

Well, look at that. The Kiwix offline reader is in Debian already, so getting it couldn’t be more convenient.

Thanks!

Is an archive of their repair manuals available for download? Would you mind sharing the link?

Most modern SSDs are NVMe devices, so your question doesn’t really make sense.

Do you mean between an HDD and and SSD?

Or maybe a SATA SSD and an NVMe SSD?

Yes, that’s what I thought: It’s just affiliate linking (aka marketing) that any app can use, not a partnership between Heroic and GOG. Thanks for following up and confirming it.

Quoting /u/imLinguin in the post you linked:

Heroic dev here. We are just part of the affiliate program since we help people access GOG on Linux easier. There is nothing more, so there is no need for official announcements from the GOG side.

Gog funds Heroic.

By some other means than affiliate link payouts? I’m not aware of any such arrangement, but if one exists, can you link some details about it?

Does the US have whistleblower protection laws that would make it easy for a judge to rule this illegal?
