It could be a few different things. Apparently if a shell process generates an error or warning it can trigger a window to open, display the message, and immediately close. Things like a program using a script to run itself startup and then not deleting that script after being uninstalled can cause it to happen.

xkcd@lemmy.world•xkcd #3125: Snake-in-the-Box ProblemEnglish
381·4 months agoWhat about goats in circular pens? A goat is tied to the fence of a circular pen. How long does the rope need to be so that the goat can reach exactly half of the pen’s area? What sounds like a high school math problem was eventually solved in 2020 via complex analysis.
Here’s the answer:

As a union member, yes.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•No matter how hard he tries, Elon Musk will never be as cool or as respected as Martha Stewart.
11·5 months agoAbsolutely no one should respect a billionaire who fucks over others to slightly see her numbers go up. She didn’t need that money from cheating, but she did it anyways and fucked over everyone else.
To add some concrete numbers. Martha Stewart’s net worth is about $400,000,000 and the insider trading was to avoid losing $40,000 in stock value. In other words, she fucked people over to avoid losing 0.01% of her wealth.

I use Voyager. Community rules are hidden unless you specifically go to that community page, open the menu, and select “sidebar”. It’s incredibly easy to miss.
If a community only wants some people posting then a quick fix is to not allow just anyone to post to it.
Ancient Roman satirical poet Juvenal wrote that all people care about are “bread and circuses” over 2,000 years ago and it still applies.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•The worst thing about Linux is its users
23·5 months agoI think it mostly comes down to baby duck syndrome. People don’t like using a package manager for programs on their desktop but are fine using an app store on their phone (which might literally be running linux). People simply expect a desktop computer to work a specific way and when things are in different spots and called different things they get upset. I think it’s changing as more companies bake Linux into their product.
Steam Decks running Linux changes people’s impression of it. If a mainstream company sold desktop computers that came with Linux preinstalled I’m sure its use would skyrocket. It’s not that it’s impossible for the average user to understand, It’s that it’s not the default option.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Almost a week here in lemmy and I still don't know how instances work?
31·5 months agoYour account is on lemmy.world. You can see the other instances that lemmy.world federates with and which ones it blocks by going to https://lemmy.world/instances. You will be able to see any content posted to lemmy.world as well as any instances in the “linked instances” list. You won’t be able to see content from the “blocked instances” list. Most instances get blocked for being the source of spam or trolls.
You’d only need to make an account on another instance if you want to participate in communities that are on instances that lemmy.world blocks.
It was sarcasm. I really dislike that the only thing young men will protest about is saving video games.





Metal Gear Solid 3, Subnautica, Papers Please.
I love the Metal Gear series but the Cold War setting of 3 works so well with the theme of the game. It also features crab battles and the ladder boss.
Subnautica really captures the feeling of being lost in some alien world and slowly making it your new home. The electronic voice assistant manages to send chills up your spine with lines like “oxygen.”
Papers, Please explores complex moral decisions in such a simple way. I wish to live my life more like Jorji.
