I was just lurking, but I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and I like your use of the ^^;; and XD emojis :3

endeavour os cool sometimes I think I can do nothing but a few questions about the costs of the world I thought I would like to get the latest Flash player is required for video playback is unavailable right now and I will be in the summer and I will be in the summer and I will be in the summer

What do you use? I’m happy with i3 and haven’t looked at other window managers in a while.

Thank you for the very thorough reply! This is kind of high quality stuff you love to see on Lemmy. Your use cases seem very valid.

Thanks for sharing this. I took the time to read through the documentation of the re module. Here’s my review of the functions.

Useful:

• re.finditer returns an iterator over all Match objects
• re.search returns the first Match object or None if there are no matches.
• r'' use raw strings for patters so you don’t have to worry about backslashes
• the optional flags argument modifies the behaviour (case insensitive, multiline)

Utility:

• re.sub replace each match in the string
• re.split split a string by a regular expression

The Match object:

• match.groups(0) returns the portion of text matched by the pattern
• match.groups(1) returns the first capturing group
• match.groups(2) returns the second capturing group, and so on

I don’t understand why these exist:

• re.match like search, but only matches at the beginning of the string. why not just use ‘^’ or ‘\A’ in the pattern you pass to ‘search’?
• re.fullmatch like ‘search’, but only if the full string matches. Why not just use ‘\A’ and ‘\Z’ in the pattern you pass to ‘search’?
• re.findall Returns all matches. It seems like a shitty version of ‘finditer’. The function has three different return types which depend on the pattern you pattern you pass to the function. Who wants to work with that?

Can’t wait for Rypper, the drop-in Zypper replacement written in Rust

That’s a long kiss 😳 N-not like I mind…

or traditional Fedora, which also has often unstable packages, dnf is often unusable

My experience with dnf is that it’s slow as molasses but your average computer user isn’t gonna install 10 new CLI apps per day /j

I’ve used Discover (dnf or flatpack backend) and you can install just about any software with 1 click. It takes a minute to install but that’s fine.

The best way to install Linux is to ask your buddy who knows Linux, they have been waiting for this question for years

Look what they need just to mimic a fraction of our power

It’s funny because it’s true

Did you make the art in your post yourself? It looks cool

I thought jokes were supposed to be funny? What’s the joke here? GIMP is bad? Who finds that funny?

so I can figure out how to export a PNG.

1. File > Export As
2. Under ‘Select File Type’ choose png, or name the file anything ending in .png
3. Click Export. Leave the settings as-is or tweak them if you know what you’re doing
4. Confirm

I spent five hours trying to merge some layers

1. Right Click the Layer
2. In the context menu, click Merge Down

Your examples suck. Got any real examples?

I’m so sorry that you feel the $0.00 you’ve spent on GIMP’s development were not well spent

Context?

OHH it even works with text layers!!! you can finally add drop shadow to a text without discarding the text information! ;A:

I am using 2.99.18 (non release, unstable build). Non destructive editing has landed. You can make adjustments through the usual menus and then enable/disable the adjustment under layer effects.

here’s my last opened tux paint “art” for you

It sounds like you have made some personal experience with that crowd xD
