People probably felt the same way Unity’s relatively fair licensing terms, or D&D’s license. They’ve rolled back now, but it’s common for companies to push this sort of thing, roll back, and then slowly introduce the same thing.

The point is not to avoid Steam, but to keep an eye out for scummy moves because no entity operating for profit is immune to temptation. Be ready to abandon ship should the time come or you’ll be the one left holding the bag.

Theharpyeagle,

I don’t touch a jacket until 40, 50 is perfect.

Movement of money = economy

Gift cards are just fancy plastic money

Ergo, OP is doing God’s the invisible hand’s work.

Theharpyeagle,

As they say, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Why try to hack the door lock when you can exploit people’s instincts to let them hold the door for you?

What are your best air fryer/oven recipes?

My parents got me one of them fancy countertop air fryer/oven things and idk what to cook first when I get it set up. According to the box, it does everything a normal oven does as well as air fries. It can hold two whole chickens or 1 frozen pizza. It came with a rack for things like toast and a baking sheet. I also have a...

Theharpyeagle,

Be sure to preheat it before use! You can prep while it’s preheating and it really cuts down on cook time.

One of my favorites is sweet potatoes and kielbasa. Cut up the sweet potato into 1/2 inch chunks, toss with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper (I also like thyme and a little rosemary, but that’s up to you). Toss em in for 14 minutes at 400 or so, until they’re fork tender and the sugar has started to caramelize on the outside.

While that’s going on, slice the kielbasa into ~3 inch sections and slice each section in half length-wise. Fry in a bit of olive/vegetable oil until warmed through and crispy on the cut side. Combine and serve.

Might find it’s not to your taste, but I find the sweet and salty combo to be a real winner.

Theharpyeagle,

You could go with the athletic shorts under the skirt, still a lot of airflow but no risk of flashing.

Theharpyeagle,

I’ve found that having a “nervous, do not pet” vest has helped. Thankfully, it seems to have worked well so far.

Theharpyeagle,

Pretty sure it’s a lot easier to do what cartoons have been doing forever: sell toys.

Theharpyeagle,

The best thing is that they’re made by people who grew up on the same stuff. Like OK KO is this wild blend of Looney Tunes and 90s/early 2000s Shonen and I love it.

Theharpyeagle,

In what way?

Theharpyeagle,

Hey, don’t go hating on Peppa Pig, that show is great!

Theharpyeagle,

I mean you remember the the greats of the 80s and 90s, that’s what makes them the greats! But how often do people talk about looks at Wikipedia The Little Lulu Show or Extreme Dinosaurs? As we go on, the good will be remembered and the rest will fade into obscurity.

Plus, kids have low standards. I remember begging my parents to take us to see Good Burger in theaters and I loved the hell out of it. Upon watching as an adult… yeah, it was terrible. That’s not too say that shows shouldn’t try to make good content for kids, but I do feel like a lot of adults don’t realize how little it took to entertain them as a kid.

For fun, I went through some old newspapers and really, nothing ever changes. Here’s one from 1959:

It even has the theme of “most generations think the younger generation is out of hand, but we’re really right this time.” So it has always been.

You can be polite or just straightforward and still get your message across.

“We don’t blame bugs on user programs”, “This is not an error code that should be used here”, “Your coding standards may have relaxed over your tenure, be sure to maintain quality code.”, etc. I get the annoyance, but you can be firm without yelling, especially in a professional environment.

Edit: Seeing the full context of Mauro’s message (posted below), I can see why Linus took this tone. Mauro was being pretty condescending to a dev.

Theharpyeagle,

Okay, I agree that this is a really dickish way to respond to a dev, and I can see Torvald’s message being as much an olive branch to app devs as it was a thorough humbling of the maintainer. Still wouldn’t call it professional, but… I get it.

Theharpyeagle,

I would disagree just because the success of the product (be it closed or open source) shouldn’t be dependent on the feelings of one person. You can be frustrated and angry, but it’s more useful to explain why you feel that way and what can be done to address it. Including your feelings only makes the person not want to do what specifically hurts you, not what is best for the project.

Theharpyeagle,

I always go “I’m not gonna watch this whole thing.” Then, six hours later…

Theharpyeagle,

Jenny Nicholson is my weak spot. Defunctland and Down the Rabbit Hole are also great.

Theharpyeagle,

I… what? What does Ubuntu have to do with misogyny?

Theharpyeagle,

The fact that Windows 11 has removed the ability to move the taskbar and has no intention of adding it back is just baffling to me. It’s a small thing but so jarring every time I try to use it that I’ve barely used my desktop in the last few months.

Theharpyeagle,

Oh, this is good news for me. I remember trying KDE years ago and feeling that it was just way too heavy. My goto is usually Cinnamon, but the lack of Wayland support has made me hesitant to go all in with out on my gaming PC. Def gonna give KDE a try, thanks!

Theharpyeagle,

Meh, Musk has plenty of shitty qualities that deserve criticism, we don’t really need to pick on his appearance.

Theharpyeagle,

I know it’s just a meme, but god damn I hate this format. Some men cry while watching the titanic, some (many) women use *nix.

Humans start quickly dying at something around 32F and 180F.

They do? 32F is 0C, it very routinely gets below freezing in many inhabited parts of the world, including the US, and people get along just fine with some precautions. Likewise with 100F (not sure what 180F has to do with it). So yeah, 0F and 100F are around the extremes of what humans regularly experience. (though it does, of course, get hotter and colder in some places).

Theharpyeagle,

It’s especially great that they aren’t migratory birds, so you get to see these fattened little red fluffballs all winter. They really look striking against the snow.

Same with robins, they’re an incredibly common bird, but they are also so handsome.
