BeardedGingerWonder,

Sometimes the reason the pros aren’t using a thing is because they have spent 10 hours a day, 6 days a week for 20 years learning how to do it that way. Sometimes the tool is just more sensible.

BeardedGingerWonder,

No company or government agency claimed the vaccine fully protected anyone, the efficacy results were published long before the vaccines were made available to the public. Natural immunity isn’t better at all, it’s as good in some cases, but less consistently so across the board and hybrid immunity was better than either. No, antibody testing would be unnecessary overkill vs just vaccinating everyone for this reason.

BeardedGingerWonder,

I’d find 9% of 3 easier for sure. Sometimes it’s easier sometimes it’s not. Just use it when it’s easier.

BeardedGingerWonder,

I’ll go out on a limb here and assume they’re talking about the IBM PC.

BeardedGingerWonder,

VLC should sort you for video. It’s been said before, but word docs may trip you up. Try libreoffice, if that’s not working for you and you want to stick with Linux you’ve got a few options:

Office 365 online - might be controversial, but IMO if that’s the only thing keeping you back at least it’s not windows and office

Google docs - another viable option

Windows VM running under Linux just for office.

With any luck they’ll probably introduce some new exploits to free up the device.

Kids + YouTube is spreading its popularity. I hadn’t heard it in the UK until 4-5 years ago.

BeardedGingerWonder,

Apparently apple joined the fediverse the other day based on my feed, I don’t see anyone slighting them.

BeardedGingerWonder,

It kind of is, but also kind of isn’t. Don’t get me wrong I love FreeCAD to bits and it’s basically the only CAD program I use these days, but also the recommended workflow is not how any other CAD program works and is a crutch for the topo naming problem. Hopefully it’s a whole other world once topo naming is sorted.

BeardedGingerWonder,

Ambitious exec promotion candidate has an idea, senior executive sees idea and sponsors it as they believe it will make them money, JIRA lands in dev backlog, devs moan about it, devs like having jobs, devs implement.

BeardedGingerWonder,

Lol, as if they haven’t already tried Esc half a dozen times before googling how exit vim

OR :x at that point.

Wanting to improve my Linux skills after 17 months of daily driving Linux

I’ve been daily driving Linux for 17 months now (currently on Linux Mint). I have got very comfortable with basic commands and many just works distros (such as Linux Mint, or Pop!_OS) with apt as the package manager. I’ve tried Debian as a distro to try to challenge myself, but have always ran into issues. On my PC, I could...

BeardedGingerWonder,

Have you just been running without a DE for 2 years now?
