  • Which will then probably tell you that it conflicts with vulkan-mesa-device-select and asks if you want to replace it. Which might either work or just get you another conflict because vulkan-mesa-device-select is required by some other package.

    Yeah, basically. This was my result:

    sudo pacman -S vulkan-mesa-implicit-layers
    resolving dependencies...
    looking for conflicting packages...
    :: vulkan-mesa-implicit-layers-1:25.3.5-2 and vulkan-mesa-device-select-1:25.2.6-2 are in conflict. Remove vulkan-mesa-device-select? [y/N] y
    error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
    :: removing vulkan-mesa-device-select breaks dependency 'vulkan-mesa-device-select' required by lib32-vulkan-mesa-device-select
    :: removing vulkan-mesa-device-select breaks dependency 'vulkan-mesa-device-select' required by vulkan-intel
    

    Btw… pacman -Qi <package name> usually tells you anything you need to know about a package. In this context mainly why it was installed (as a requirement for which package) and which other packages are required as a dependency.

    So maybe you should take one step back first. Check why 'vulkan-mesa-device-select` was installed in the first place.

    Okay so I tried that and got:

    pacman -Qi vulkan-mesa-device-select
    Installed From  : cachyos

    Seems it’s necessary, so I tried sudo pacman -S vulkan-mesa-device-select and it gave me no trouble, so then I ran sudo pacman -Syu and after just under 10 minutes everything updated! Seems to work again. Thank you very much for the help, I really do appreciate it.







  • Oh I also get judged for my Thanksgiving plate. I mix up my mashed potatoes, gravy, a little stuffing, and turkey, and then shove this mix into the middle of a roll and eat it that way.

    With the exception of the mashed potatoes that’s just standard Boxing Day supper in Newfoundland. Similarly, and even more popular, start with bread, then turkey and gravy on top, to make a hot turkey sandwich, then on the side start with fries and top with stuffing (we call it dressing here) and gravy, and you’ve got a side of FDG (fries dressing and gravy) which is the greatest thing on earth. I love me some poutine but fries dressing and gravy beats it out every time.


  • For most people they don’t think of liberalism as a specific thing, they literally just consider liberal and left to be the same thing, and conservative and right to be the same thing. It’s not that they’re trying to say nothing left of liberalism is legitimate or something, it’s just that literally everything left is under the branch of liberalism. It’s not thought of as a specific subset of the left, it is the left, and various degrees of leftism are all considered part of liberalism. Again, not saying that’s correct obviously, it’s just how most people here see it.

    Yeah, the NDP (New Democratic Party) is what you’re thinking of. They’ve only really had one good shot at having their party leader elected for Prime Minister, but then he got cancer and died from it. The NDP still wins local areas though. A lot of the right wing voters here aren’t even necessarily conservative, just anti-liberal. I’ve known lots of conservatives who would happily vote for the NDP too, just not the liberals. We also have the Green Party which is more of an environmental party who are useful for approving conservation efforts but don’t have a serious shot at PM. They have some great local leaders though. Then there’s the Bloc Québécois who are only in Quebec obviously, and they stand for French rights. They do quite well in Quebec typically but again, no shot at PM.



  • I think a lot of industries call their thing a gun actually. We use an android phone with a scanner at work for all sorts of things (product inventory, order management, assigning electronic tags, article lookups, etc) and most of us call it the gun. Its predecessor did look like a gun, so the origins of the name make sense, the name just stuck after we switched to a phone with a built-in scanner. We also have a date gun, which prints off best before date stickers.
