Isvi still the default? On Debian it sure isn’t, nano is the default and has been for years, and I can only assume the debian derivatives have all followed suit. That’d already be most new installs taken care of.
If you find something that opens vi unexpectedly, double-check $EDITOR’s value then file a bug report and tell them to follow $EDITOR.
THANK YOU! I like long video essays but plagiarism drama is not worth this much of my time.
The only video I’ll miss from Somerton’s channel is the video on “LGBTQIA+ alphabet soup vs reclaiming Queer” (whatever its actual title), because I think it is a genuinely important contribution to queer discourse which too often refuses to say “queer” as not to offend a small subsection of older queer Americans…
But the alternative is an incomprehensible jumble of letters which necessarily in its attempt to explicitly include everyone always excludes someone (and anyway “LGBTQIA+” may or may not include all of “agender, asexual, aromantic” so how is that any more descriptive than “queer”?).
At least “GSRM” is not inherently exclusionary, but unlike “LGBT” or “queer” it’s not widely known and doesn’t roll off the tongue so I still much prefer “queer” outside of academic discourse where “GSRM” belongs IMO.
With UEFI, it goes “Motherboard Logo -> Motherboard Logo”
Sure, it’s more consistent, but the alternative is not user unfriendly, the only people it’s unfriendly to is the marketing wankers at Dell, Lenovo, Acer, etc.
It does not matter how windy or straight burb roads are.
What matters is that they aren’t culs-de-sac for pedestrians/cyclists, allow mixed use zoning(!!), and are dense enough to support a diversified economy.
Even paying customers aren’t guaranteed feature priority. Have you even seen Windows outside of EU markets? You pay well over $100 for a license, and they shove a wheelbarrow’s worth of ads and data extraction up your ass. See also: the cableification of streaming services. (EDIT: Oh, and I forgot about Adobe!)
The Internet Economy doesn’t need a freemium model to be shit. In fact some of the worse SaaS I interact with on a daily basis is also extremely expensive.
It’s got everything to do with misaligned financial incentives already plaguing traditional markets (pursuit of infinite growth, short term thinking, etc.) compounded by how quick and easy software is to change and update which yields very high feature bloat and a much faster cycle of enshittification.
They are legally obligated to show which part of the video is an ad (and contractually obligated to have a clickable link), which always leaves ad blockers a way to correlate and remove those segments though (essentially skipping forward during the ad, then lying to the backend when asking for additional segments as if the user had skipped through the video after the ad was over).
On Twitch they managed to outplay even uBlock, because the streaming is realtime and if you skip the ad segments, there’s no data to fall back to and the backend won’t send you the regular segments until the ad break is over (from what I understand). So at best you get a waiting screen instead of an ad.
However I’m not sure if it would make (financial) sense to apply a similar strategy on YouTube, as that would require preventing buffering the video until the ads have stopped playing (and wouldn’t work at all for midroll ads since the video has already been buffered at that point). Not only would this be expensive to do in the backend, but it would likely cause disproportionate buffering on low-end connections which couldn’t start loading the video while the ad is playing.
Except the proposed alternative should not be cp or pv, but dd bs=4M oflag=direct,sync status=progress.
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills with all the advice in this thread, because for USB keys you will otherwise end up instantly filling the write cache… which will block the apparent progress of the copy operation (so why even use pv since all you’re doing is measuring your RAM speed and available cache size) as well as heavily slow down (even potentially partially freeze in some circumstances) the rest of your system as the kernel is running out of free pages and can’t flush caches fast enough due to the slow-ass write speeds of usb keys.
(Alternatively there is a kernel setting somewhere to disable caching globally for a block device… but in most cases caching is good, just not when you’re flashing an ISO).
That guy hella sexy. But yeah, in general women are WAY more sexualized than men, both in real life and consequently in media. Which is terrible. This is why I am campaigning to sexualize men more, in the name of equality. All movies should go in front of a panel of bisexuals who will deliberate how to best distribute the crop-tops, cheek-pulling pants, and gratuitous nude scenes amongst the characters. In the name of feminism, of course.
Yeah, a 2080 should be more than capable of handling a game like that, badly optimized or not. I’ve seen people report running the game much better with way worse cards.
However all the people I see complaining here of terrible performance don’t mention which CPU they have, when it was already the bottleneck in C:S 1… And the kind of people who don’t think the CPU is relevant information probably aren’t the kind to use a modern, top-of-the-line CPU.
I’ll still wait until the patches roll in before buying it, but I’m also not going to trust complaints from players who don’t even know which CPU they are using when playing a CPU-bound game.
Because it’s so hard to believe that some people’s digestive systems work differently. Gut microflora is notoriously undiverse in humans. Surely the more likely explanation is that the person you’re responding to managed to go their whole life without ever eating spicy food despite actively seeking it out. /s
Maybe there’s a spice level at which I’d get bad shits, but I haven’t gotten so much as a tingle yet and I already have the highest tolerance than any white guy I know. You can be a spice snob and say “you haven’t met my guy Rajesh yet”, but almost no-one saying “spice gives me bad shits” has met Rajesh either so I don’t see the point.
Where I live more and more supermarkets don’t do this, especially since the pandemic. The coin mechanisms are expensive to maintain, and it turns out that the overwhelming majority of people were raised correctly and will return the cart anyway. Where else would you put the cart anyway? In the parking lane? Surely maneuvering your car around a stray shopping cart can’t be more convenient than just putting the cart back!
Motorcycles are still FAR noisier than cars, even brand new with the OEM exhaust. I don’t think my stock bike is overly obnoxious, but it’s certainly the noisiest vehicle around most of the time. Modern cars you don’t even necessarily notice the engine from further than a few feet away.
Also, motorcycles have lower carbon emissions than most cars, but higher everything else. Can’t exactly fit a catalytic converter on there. NOx, fine particulates, etc, are all much worse than a car’s IIRC.
In the end these factors don’t matter much because motorcycles in the West are mostly a hobby, so there’s typically not enough of us to be a huge societal problem. However, if I’m going in the city I usually opt for my ebike because I live close enough and it doesn’t make sense to annoy everyone with my noisy dinosaur fart machine.
I believe that’s apocryphal… Some people came up with that theory on twitter, but AFAIK it’s not been confirmed. It only matters in some edge cases of an edge case.
And let’s be real, if backwards compatibility really mattered, they could have made the API return “Nine” or “IX” or whatever and used “9” everywhere else in the UI, marketing, packaging, whatever.
The real reason is probably the simplest and stupidest: Microsoft’s marketing department got impatient and went for the big round number because 10>9. Also why NVIDIA went 9xx->10xx->20xx… bigger number = better, it’s really that mind-numbingly stupid.
