How do you install libimobiledevice on Mint? (Software not in software manager)

I go to this page: https://libimobiledevice.org/#get-started

It says:

>Enter the commands provided below.

$ sudo apt-get install
build-essential
checkinstall
git
autoconf
automake
libtool-bin
libplist-dev
libimobiledevice-glue-dev
libusbmuxd-dev
libssl-dev
usbmuxd

I press enter and it says "Sudo command not found". I downloaded the libimobiledevice 1.4.0 files from the list above (which was only 700kb)

Ive been sitting trying to research how does someone download and install software on Linux when they have no experience doing so


  • What files am I supposed to download, where?

  • What order or all at once should I type terminal commands? (The thing gives no feedback)

  • How do I know if there should be a space between some characters or not?

  • Is there anywhere someone goes step-by-step through such a type of installation to teach a noob, without telling you half an hour of dribble that you have no idea how it is relevant to your goal??

Sometimes E2 empowered dash goes off unintentionally and attacks a target nearest to E1 instead of the M-move input over cursor location.

EDIT:

u/ImActuaIIyHim seems to have the answer to the problem:

>Did some testing, and its simply just E1 not cancelling an auto attack input. Its especially annoying if you use attack move click alot. If you have pressed Attack on a target, and use your E1, your E2 will automatically go towards the target you clicked Attack on. Like a buffer.


Problem:

Playing on 10 ping, no jitter.

Noticed on rare occasions Locke after E1 teleport, E2 attacks a target when my mouse cursor isn't over the target, but I'm trying to move-click away, with my cursor already 4-5cm away from the E2 dash location.

It doesn't even seem to be the nearest target to the location of M-click, it might be the nearest target to the E1 location, because it has dashed to minions in the backline, not those near my current cursor location.

Only happened about 3 times in 2 games, but might be due to queueing up right-click shortly after left-click while using E, but my cursor is already far away and my ping is very low.

Can SteamOS eventually be a windows replacement for daily general use?

The goal: to find a secure, stable, clean and simple/user-friendly Linux OS that has all the hardware and security support to just be a complete replacement for Windows without a fuss.

    1. Will SteamOS be supported by Valve and maintained like we used to expect MS to maintain Windows?
    1. If it doesn't do a LTS support cadence, does this mean if Valve abandons it there will be security risks?
    1. What stops SteamOS from potentially being an all-in-one general use in desktop mode?

(Will SteamOS desktop environment do everything the other Linux mainstay distros can, eventually?)

    1. Any idea when Nvidia cards are going to have full support, ballpark?
    1. Do you think maybe companies like Dice and Riot will adjust to Linux with kernel anti-cheat?
    1. Is it gullible to expect this type of package from Valve in future or should we just pour all our eggs into a more established distro and forget the grand unifying project?

I don't play games much, but I hate the sloppy feeling of the fractured distro world for random incompatibilities, hassle with installer packs, terminal crash courses.

The massive recruiter middleman network in Sydney seems to be ruining job searches

I came to Sydney recently and am looking for an entry level job, so my scope is wide.

I found out very quickly that there are recruiter companies everywhere - more than any other city I've been to.


The rationale is that recruiters handle (especially casual basis) jobs with an HR component and pay salaries, handle leave, and rosters, manage background checks. From factory work, to manual labour to transport and logistics, while at the same time sift through mass AI applications, by using AI themselves.

This is creating a number of problems:

1) NO PROFESSIONALISM

Recruiter staff don't do their job, because the stakes could never be lower for them; They have an endless supply of clients looking for jobs. ie. They frequently forget to inform employers of arrangements for simple things such as interview times, or they don't respond to emails/sms.

I've found multiple recruiters lie to me about positions being filled then the employer confirmed that they received no communication at all.

I have also found multiple recruiters just being a pretty face that have no experience and are a potted plant within a parasitic organisation.

2) AI PROBLEMS

The use of AI to filter applicants creates an echo effect with some applicants using AI to mass spam job listings and drowning out typical applicant volume presumably aware of certain key words or phraseology.

3) RECRUITER MAFIA

Recruitment companies end up sharing your basic information, spamming you with marketing mail or irrelevant job postings, ask for your TFN upfront even BEFORE you even get the interview with the employer...and it seems they box you into zones across the city according to what needs they feel they need to fill. So you seem to get overlooked or ignored and shunted towards other roles you didn't apply for.

After more than 300 applications in a couple of weeks and over 10 interview, I have been lied to on job positions filled, applying for one role and then sent to a different role on the whim of the recruiter, have my email sent to 3rd parties I didn't consent to, and I can only guess that you can easily be quietly blacklisted within such mafia-like recruiter networks if you don't play along.


There needs to be legislation to combat these recruiter and their practices. Many unemployed in Sydney in the past 6 months have taken to the internet to inform others that the recently chaotic job market problem is not just a matter of economic downturn, or Labour policy, or AI bubbles...but actual recruiter mismanagement.

.....I have found more than 1 employer during interviews tell me that THEY DON'T WANT TO USE RECRUITER COMPANIES but that they are forced into it by a friend of a friend of the MD, among other scenarios.

How do you back up iPhone on Linux like you can do with iTunes?

There's a million different opinions out there.

Let's say

  • Linux Mint.

  • Need tool, to backup and restore iPhone from, which saves files AND in the format they are in with phone, which allows restore all settings and files and web browers tabs open as you left it.

Many people say iTunes is unusable for backup on WIne.

Seeking advice on problems with other search engines.

I've tried other search engines and I've run into 2 main problems.

TL;DR - How does one properly resolve these issues? :

  • 1, the search is not flexible to natural language (ie what I meant to say), and

  • 2, the search results dont display multiple examples from the same major source or dont stay relevant to search terms

Yes, I know you need AI for this, but the idea of de-Googling is to do away with invasive practices that have gone beyond that.


Explanation

1) Lack of flexible natural language processing.

Other search engines feel like 2010s Google where the rudimentary AI applied to your search terms mostly seem to match key words verbatim, and closeness of match in sequence of terms as typed.

So the engine forces you to be specific, but in many ways you are searching for concepts that are unknown in part which means you are unable to be more specific. This leads other engines to drown out your search results with website entries that have nothing to do with anything.

2) Lack of polling and presenting within a single website for results.

Most readily noticed when searching for images. If I say search "FF14 barbarian armor" for concepts in art, in Google I will get multiple collated images from the SAME website, for different results. So I do not have to venture into the website and deal with bad UI, ads, text to get the representation of what I was searching for.

Additionally, the Google image search will mostly adhere to FF14 relevant topics.

In other engines, the search will offer 1 or 2 examples from usual sources, then quickly devolve into showing "barbarian armor" from Zelda, or DnD or hit me with an endless stream of Pinterest or AI image sites.


Question

Is there a search engine setup that can give you the results of Google, perhaps even on mobile, that at maximum would take your IP, but not all the other Google issues? (I've tried some instances of SearXNG and maybe I am looking in the wrong places as a complete notice, but the results were terrible)
