What is a terminal file manager with built in image preview support
I am mentally retarded and I do not understand the most simple instructions to 'patch' image support into a terminal file manager
I do not understand why ever single time I search this topic it leads to some stupid 20 min youtube video or github repo
Do not ask why I need a terminal file manager with image support
Do not suggest any type of software which is not a terminal file manager with image support
Acceptable answers include (but are not limited to)
>A single repository in either the standard arch repos or the AUR (As in a single package I can install using pacman or paru)
>A single git repository which can be cloned, made, installed, and executed from the terminal (As in a single repository, with very clear installation instructions, which when called from the terminal will open a terminal file manager with image support)
>A single downloadable, executable file / appimage / whatever which when executed will open a terminal file manager with image support
I am NOT married to my current terminal (st) if there is a solution which uses a different terminal that is acceptable.
I will NOT be reading any additional material
I will NOT be patching, installing additional software, or writing config files
I will NOT use a graphical solution
Thank you for your understanding, enjoy this image of a whale as tribute

Related to the above post, I want a file manager that gives the benefits of both TUI and GUI. I've been digging Ranger keybinds and running arbitrary commands but I'd like the benefit of drag and drop (files onto already running GUI programs, e.g. dropping an image on a browser to upload or a video on a player to add to playlist), having a thumbnail grid for a media folder, etc.

they may have switched from mandrake to gentoo between 2003 and 2006
clearly the adminitrator(s) are linux enthusiasts, it's not out of the realm of possibility, plus it helps to have 20 computers with the same hardware, you can use nfs (which they say they're using for home folders already) to share built packages and only compile them once for all the computers
could even use those computers with distcc during off hours for fast builds as well, you have a build cluster right there!

Started learning this recently in my CS classes, is this just a forced tranny meme? Doing anything is so fucking convoluted. Why not just use C? Ensuring everything is safe seems to lead to a lot of inefficiency and obfuscation of what should be easy tasks.
I can't imagine this has much application realistically. Why not just use external programs to ensure C safety? That kind of modular design has more application, no? Or am I just dumb and inexperienced?
Is this all forced by troons?

>Doing anything is so fucking convoluted.

I know you won't believe me, but this is a skill issue. You are simply being exposed to something new you have to get used to and you are knee jerk calling it restrictive just because you don't think in a way that fits the language. Imagine knowing LISP for 10 years and then you go learn C and complain about types. This is literally you.

And you know how I know? Because every argument you have against Rust, and every reason you think you can think of for calling it restrictive I had before it clicked for me. I will leave you with a protip: When you learn rust, the borrow checker isn't something you think about / fight.

It's because of people like you, that everyone thinks Bash sucks and thinks that we needed to replace shell scripts with systemd units. Holy fuck. You write like you're not even 20. No offence. You're probably young and inexperienced

i apparently have an IQ of 112 and literally all i was able to solve on the test were those basic "things are moving in a certain direction" and xor problems (like line + line = no line, line + no line = line). All you have to do is figure out where the xor is, sometimes its lines, sometimes its dots, sometimes its something else.

whenever it gave me something more complicated i looked at it for a bit but i could never spot a pattern so i just skipped. Im pretty baffled im apparently above average intelligence when the only two types of problems i could solve was so basic and just repeated over and over.

I also feel like you would have a massive advantage / disadvantage if you didn't know what things like xor operations were since that was like 70% of my questions on the test. If i never studied programming and were never explicitly taught about them i'd definitely have a hard time figuring it out in the test myself and i'd probably get a below average IQ.

Thats one of the reasons i think IQ is bullshit. Well maybe not, but its not this "concrete absolute intelligence" measure we think it is, its definitely dependent on knowledge too. Thats probably also why most mathematicians have such a high IQ.

Its not that if you are born with a high IQ you are likely to study math (thats probably true but not to the extent we see) rather its that if you choose to study math your IQ increases as you gain knowledge and learn about fundamental patterns to look for that appear in math and general logic problems.

nah i just think its because he didn't know what patterns to look for.
But im genuinely curious now OP if you take the test again with this knowledge of having to look for xor patterns will you do better?

picrel is an example of an xor problem btw so you know what i mean. As you can see if the straight lines overlap in the two first pictures they disappear in the final image, otherwise the stay. With the dots its the opposite, only if they overlap will they appear in the final image, so the answer here is F
