If you are trying a new install go for something with timeshift or Silver Blue, OpenSUSE snapshotting. You can trash the whole setup, then reboot to the previous state. A catastrophic failure becomes a 1 minute fix.
Good thing is BPD is treatable with DBT. The therapy teaches them how to balance the rapidly shifting emotions, and how to break the feeling, judgement,action chain that drives their behaviours.
Try GNOME extension. Awesome Tile. Number pad arrangement becomes window placement. In settings you can choose gap between window and screen edge. Hitting same key repeatedly resizes that window in its current location.
Its the latter. But the former seems accurate because while non-idiots have played UNO, it is not typically a game they would choose. Where as UNO is at everyone's house who believes it is the best game ever.
There was an app or extension that let's you use the number pad as directional arrows for window placement. Like 7 would move to the top left corner, 4 would move it as half screen to the left. Hitting them again does resizing. I'm trying to remember the name, it wasn't an lntuitively named tool. But you could try Awesome Tiles to see if that works.
It's corporate arrogance. "We are so big we can take that market" without understanding what built that market. They think business is numbers but it is about relationships with people.
As VP of Prime Gaming at Amazon, we failed multiple times to disrupt the game platform Steam. We were at least 250x bigger, and we tried everything. But ultimately, Goliath lost. Here's why:
The 15+ year long attempt to challenge Steam started before I was VP of Prime Gaming, but we never cracked the code. Not under my leadership or anyone else's.
The first way we tried to enter the online-game-store market was through acquisition. We acquired Reflexive Entertainment (a small PC game store) and tried to scale it. It went nowhere.
Then, after buying Twitch, we created our own PC games store. Our assumption was that gamers would naturally buy from us because they were already using Twitch. Wrong.
Finally, we built "Luna," a game streaming service that let people play without a high-end PC. Around the same time, Google tried the same thing with their product "Stadia." Neither gained significant traction. The whole time, Steam dominated despite being a relatively small company (compared to Amazon and Google).
The mistake was that we underestimated what made consumers use Steam.
It was a store, a social network, a library, and a trophy case all in one. And it worked well.
At Amazon, we assumed that size and visibility would be enough to attract customers, but we underestimated the power of existing user habits. We never validated our core assumptions before investing heavily in solutions. The truth is that gamers already had the solution to their problems, and they weren't going to switch platforms just because a new one was available.
We needed to build something dramatically better, but we failed to do so. And we needed to validate our assumptions about our customers before starting to build. But we never really did that either.
Just because you are big enough to build something doesn’t mean people will use it.
Reflecting on these mistakes, I realize how crucial it is to deeply understand customers before making big moves. That’s why James Birchler’s guest newsletter caught my attention—his piece is a practical guide on obtaining real customer insights and using them to challenge entrenched assumptions that can hurt product success.
James breaks his advice down into three key steps, illustrated with stories from his time as VP of Engineering at IMVU:
- Talk to Real Customers Before Writing Code
- Test Assumptions, Not Just Features
- Build Measurement Into Your Process
After explaining how he learned these lessons the hard way (getting screamed at by customers and board members), James shares action items you can implement within a week to improve how you understand your customers.
I wish Amazon had followed James’ playbook before trying to take on Steam. But since we didn’t, at least you can.
Yeah, I had Mink reverse press coffee. It is amazing, and adding milk or cream hides the amazing flavour. Technically they are a chocolatier.
Hoefully that works. It was hours of trying different formating, zeroing etc, the error it gave me lead me to search and finally get a one liner that fixed it all. But why I didn't add it to my notes is a mystery LOL
I had a somewhat similar issue, kernel kept seeing the old RAID flags of a formatted drive, so would not mount, and clonezilla wouldn't touch it either. I had to run some special command that specifically removes a certain info. I can't recall what command it was, but once I ran it everything was fine.
Could have been wipefs followed this maybe.. https://www.slac.stanford.edu/grp/cd/soft/unix/RAIDmetadata.html
Could have been combine with the lvremove command also. Really should have saved the notes.
People are replying like they are because you have asked for help but aren't able to provide details on the steps, the yml files, or other commands you executed. Essential it is like when my wife calls me on my phone and says "I'm lost, where am I?" And I have no clue where she is because she can't provide me street names or what direction she is travelling. Basically nobody here knows where you are.
