See this is what bugs me about the last answer.

This issue is that it doesn't take any work to hold a weight at fixed height. If you set the weight on a table, does the table need some energy source to hold it up? Does a car need to burn fuel to keep from sliding down if it's parked on a slight slope? The energy just stays fixed, with no flow.

I'm sure the person that asked those questions meant it as holding 50kg suspended in air, via a rope or something. People have done these tests for a while now, and I'm sure there is more to the story, cuz, let's face it, holding something suspended in air, via a rope or whatever, with nothing like a nail or a screw screwed to the ceiling, is doing work (the latter examples have the power of friction on their side, that's how they work, which is not the case with a pair of magnets). It's like you holding that same thing suspended in air for a year. You must put in work to do that, right?

I'm sure that even physicists are missing something here... either that, or no one knows how to explain things like this person asked in plain language.

I'm an egineer BTW, but permanent magnets were never really well layed out in uni. But then you stumble upon things like the Perendev motor and wonder why no physicist will try and tackle this issue, dispoving it in practice, instead of just dismissing it as a perpetu mobile.

What I'm definitely saying is that there is no free energy, that's ridiculous... or maybe in a form we still have't disovered, who knows. But, using trapped energy in a magnet... that could actually work. The concept might sound weird to a scientist, but we all know that most of the time, egineers are the ones that "break the rules" in conventional science and that most revolutionary discoveries are done by them, not suits with Phds. And Perendev was a legit engineer, a smart one as well. So this leads me to at least consider this idea as a sustainable scenario, thus leading me to try and make one of my own.

Yeah, my mistake, xbps-src... they might even have it in the repo repackaged, not sure, though it was in src only back when I installed it.

Yeah, I know that. They got permission for Vivaldi some time ago (like a year ago I think), so that's great, I just love Vivaldi ☺️.

I was also working on some old niche wares, like Nero 10 for Linux and some other packages long out of date, but still work. They wouldn't include them, so I might just put the templates on github or codeber.

Yeah, it was for a game, but I just said f it, too confusing for me.

Yes, I do love it myself.

Yeah, the 90's were the turning point for MS. If they flopped, we would have a whole different story right now. Unfortunately, they didn't... which is why we have to have everything MS compliant right now on OSes that share nothing in common with Windows.

Samba and Wine are perfect examples.

Meeh, Void has it in the packages, but I don't use it, too confusing for a messaging app if you ask me.

I've seen tons of other videos that disprove this one... which one is right? IDK, I guess I'll have to build one and see.

And it's not free energy, the magnets become demagnetized with time, which is logical, they push or pull on one another. On a long enough time scale, yes, they do become less magnetized.

The icons you hate are icon set specific. I haven't tried tinkering with them (I don't actually use them, most of those plugins that come by default on most distros are removed on my installs), but I think you can change icon sets... or maybe themes (some themes also hold icon sets).

So, basically, you should install new icon sets and/or themes to get new icons and just pick one that you like, unistall the rest. Your default repo should hold most popular themes and icon sets for xfce.

PS: Some things may be inacurate, but I'm not much of a graphical person, I usually use xfce with default settings and maybe Greybird Dark as a theme. I leave everything else to default, whatever the defaults may be.

Or use a Perendev magnet motor... should be more efficient anyway.

Hey, it was a suggestion 🤷.

My real advice would actually be to try and work on using his brain, but that might be a lost cause, since OP went straight to "f that, just find me a job that this guy can do and not cause a nuclear hollocaust".

I don't know where you live, but most off shelf cleaning supplies around here are safe to mix. The strong industrial stuff, no, but I never said he should work as a cleaner in a large industrial complex or something like a mall. My suggestion was a cleaner for like appartments, houses, hallways, stuff like that.
