Google only checked out and cashed in after getting a monopoly. Mozilla let themselves fade into irrelevance.

“I don’t want to learn/use the CLI” is equivalent to saying “I only want to use features that have a GUI”, which you can already do on any operating system (including Linux).

Actually it’s a low budget western movie starring Alec Baldwin that resulted in the tragic killing of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins due to inadequate safety practices on set.

My thermodynamics professor made so approximations in his derivations that all of his equations had an “O” term to represent the inaccuracy. Every time he made another approximation he’d say “and, of course, the O sucks up the error”.

My high school English teacher still has night terrors about me starting sentences with conjunctions. And that was the least of their problems.

Edit: kind of unrelated, but that song about conjunctions is now stuck in my head. 🎶Conjunction junction, what’s your function? 🎶

The trick is to round everything. Pi? Basically 3.

I just use cntrl-z and then kill %1

People are going to start asking AI to rotate PDFs for them, just like people started asking ChatGPT to do math; it’s a terrible idea but will probably work 80% of the time, and that’ll be good enough for most people.

You can make commits on your system without pushing them to the remote server, and that’s the default behavior.

Nope

These days I go 50/50 on Reddit and Lemmy. I know it’s a chicken and egg problem for content, but hopefully 50% usage is enough to change things over time.

Haven’t you heard? It’s the year of the Linux desktop.

🤢🤮

I’m not saying it’s not awful, but I still think that publicly telling everyone is inappropriate. Derek basically did the same thing as them.

Tell those particular people. Maybe screenshot those particular messages as proof. But don’t publicly share everything.

How would you feel if you invited a few people to your home and then found out one of them secretly recorded audio the entire time? That’s the equivalent of screenshotting messages in a small group chat.

Unless you were literally planning crimes, the actual content of the conversation is irrelevant to the principle.

You

Interesting, thanks!

Do you know what level German you are at?

I took a full-year German course in university a few years ago, and by the end of that I was probably A1. I’ve forgotten most of it since then, but I could probably relearn it within a few weeks. Every time I visit my German side of the family I try to brush up on it, but that isn’t very often.

Now it’s been 15 months learning daily and am at the B1 level. So not an expert just intermediate with more to learn.

Good for you. I feel like the hardest part of German (as a non-native speaker) is regularly practicing.

Most of the country wants this. For every person who tries to overthrow the government, there are more people who will fight to keep it as it is.

Could someone please explain this post?
