Curious, what store in Korea? Where? I’ll be visiting Seoul soon, and was looking for some old electronics and thrift stuff.

I was surprised by this because it sounds like one of those internet stories that isn’t true, or was morphed so many times after multiple retellings. But a quick search shows me that this is completely true:

WILLIAMS: Well, after nine times of, you know, nine nos, like, nope, doesn’t work, doesn’t work, doesn’t work, doesn’t work, doesn’t work, doesn’t work, doesn’t work, then I had to kind ask myself a rhetorical question. How do you write a song about someone that’s so happy that nothing can bring them down? I’m paraphrasing. And the song ended up being the sarcastic answer to that.

Hi! I just wanted to say thank you very much for making BentoPDF - I’m a big fan! It’s a tool I use regularly and I’m always very happy that it’s so intuitive and easy to use. I learnt about it from lemmy here (your post 8 months ago), btw!

If you run it with arg1, won’t it run them all?

Yes, that is the intention. When you’re following some guide online and it requires you use some “software”, you may not know how to install that software.

This install.sh script tries package managers, because one of them will probably work. Others will fail.

For example, installing numpy (python package): pip install succeeds and all the other ones (hopefully) fail.

Installing libcurl4-openssl-dev (curl with openssl library file): apt-get install works and all other ones (hopefully) fails.
