Was he living under a rock prior to the visit? One of the worst ethnic cleansings in modern history is happening there right now, and that’s when he decided to visit?

acockworkorange,

I’ve been using Linux in different capacities since the late 90s. I use Mint with Cinnamon because it’s stable, does all I need and I don’t need to fuss with it. You’re more than fine.

acockworkorange,

Didn’t they try to call it Windows X at the time?

acockworkorange,

My childhood friends started saying that anyone working after noon on Friday is disorganized and I think it’s beautiful.

acockworkorange,

It is. You should try to move to a career where you sell the results of your labor, not the time it takes to achieve them. Easier said than done, I know. Good luck!

acockworkorange,

If they were that smart, they wouldn’t need to be autocratic.

acockworkorange,

“This might even affect my retirement!”, exclaimed a CEO.

acockworkorange,

Killing is overly dramatic, but it’s putting a burden on certain projects if they want to convert to it and not all have the resources to tank it. I don’t see Window Maker porting their toolkit to Wayland, for instance.

But XWayland exists so I don’t see what’s the fuss.

acockworkorange,

Don’t you need a HDR monitor for HDR?

acockworkorange,

I don’t even want to know the price. I bought myself a new monitor for Christmas and I doubt it has that.

acockworkorange,

“The Engineering Method” by Mark Hammond aka the engineer guy is a great read…

…is what I would say if I actually purchased books from my wishlist.

acockworkorange,

Everyone can, really. It’s not 2002 anymore. Linux has been ready for prime time for some time now. All it lacks is critical mass.

acockworkorange,

My point is there’s no required savvyness like it used to a couple decades ago.

A corporation is arguably best positioned to make the transition. The one I work at has all their administrative systems as cloud apps. The few production systems that run native can be run in a Citrix or RDP environment. Even now, with user stations running Windows, these systems are accessed through RDP for… reasons anyway.

acockworkorange,

Stems from RICE - racing inspired cosmetic enhancements. Fancy way of saying “go faster stripes”.

acockworkorange,

You got a source for that? I don’t doubt it, but when I searched for the meaning, that’s what I found.

Afghan girls as young as 16 arrested in shops, classes and markets in Kabul by the Taliban, who labelled them ‘infidels’ for wearing ‘bad hijab’ (www.theguardian.com)

The girls – who were detained in shopping centres, classes and street markets – were accused of “spreading and encouraging others to wear a bad hijab” and wearing makeup....

acockworkorange,

It’s weird. Someone once told me her husband was German after I mentioned I lived there for a while. So I asked where they’re from, maybe I knew. “From Mississippi…”

acockworkorange,

Not a laptop, but I replaced my old laptop with a micro PC from minisforum EM680 and I’m very happy running Linux Mint in it. If you tend to use your laptop on the same spot, it’s a great way have a more performing and ergonomic PC for the same or lower price.

I can power it from my monitor, so I can have only one cable at the desk. Bluetooth and wifi working out of the box.

At any rate, I suggest you stick to AMD graphics as they have native open source support.

acockworkorange,

I have seen some with Embraer jets. They are really nice. They don’t make really big planes though, it’s basically just regional flights.

acockworkorange,

No way I’m going through childhood again. Mine sucked.
