I’m gonna stop you there, because I’ve been using the format for about 30 years, and people only started using the new pronunciation in the last 10-15.
I've been using the word since the mid 90s and it's always been hard G for me.
I don't say that to suggest that you or anyone else are wrong to say it with a soft G (although my brain cringes each time I hear it), but since I don't think I invented the hard G pronunciation I think claiming it's a recent thing is a fallacious argument against the hard G.
Thanks that was a great analysis. Once you started in I did recall about half those details, but mostly I guess it needs to go on my reread pile since I've forgotten so much.
As a tangentially related side - one of the first emails I ever sent when I first started to use email in about 1996 was to Anne McCaffrey.
I was in the "everything you can imagine is on the internet" phase of just looking up random things, and somehow I found her email address.
I sent her a short note about how much I'd loved her books, and she sent me a brief, nice note back.
That email is long lost to the twists and turns of life - I didn't even understand the concept of keeping backups back then (Edit - that's not true, it would be more accurate to say I just never bothered) - but it was a cool little interaction that I always remember fondly. 🙂
I'm fairly sure I have run this system dual-monitor though I don't do it routinely. I'll check sometime this weekend and let you know, if you are interested for comparison's sake.
The problem, as I see it, is that the author of the original Gist does not really want wayland replacements for what he has, but rather what he has to also work on wayland.
It's like the Windows users expecting to use all the same software on Linux when they move over problem, but in microcosm.
Wayland does not work properly on Intel hardware: Again, I’m using AMD, so I can’t confirm or deny this, but considering the Intel drivers are open source, and I’ve heard about many, many improvements made on the Intel side of things, I think it would be reasonable to assume it has been fixed.
Posting this from Plasma Wayland on Intel right now. If something is broken, it's something not apparent to me.
Worked with no drama, for me at least. Hooked it to my TV because that was most convenient. USB-C to HDMI adapter, I just had to tell it where they were in relation to each other and set scaling on the TV. Fonts look a little screwy on that dialogue box, but only in the screenshot - and when composing this post I realized even there they look OK if I don't view that part of the screenshot on the 4K display.
Edit: No, untrue. I think I had the wrong glasses on. The fonts on the 1080p display are fine in reality, but the screenshot is distorting everything on that panel a bit. Again, screenshot only though. All good otherwise. I can't see any other problem after using it a bit like this though.
The year of the Linux desktop is right now, if you want it to be. For me it was 2007 - and watching the evolution of Windows since then has been a continuous validation of my choice.
If you want to use Linux, use it! It's ready, and IMO has been for some time.
(And just to be clear - choosing otherwise is OK too! I don't intend my enthusiasm as zealotry. Folks making an educated decision to stay is totally valid.)
I think that's totally fine, as much as some might want to turn this into a "Ketchup on Steak" kind of holy war.
I grew up on StoveTop and I do think it's yummy.
My mother in law makes a stuffing that's essentially potatoes, bread, onions, whatever other seasonings, and yes a good bit of salt. (I haven't helped make it I admit, so I could be doing it a disservice to describe it that way)
She even cooks some of it inside the turkey and some of it outside, though it never really gets soggy.
As far as I'm concerned, you could throw out the entire rest of Thanksgiving dinner and just give me a big bowl of that.
In addition to using text editors like vim or emacs and using a tiling window manager, what other programs do you use to reduce usage of the mouse? I recently discovered warpd which is similar to vimium’s hint mode but works globally.
what if I, for example, had a job in Google and I liked Linux so much I install Ubuntu on my Chromebook, would that be illegal/send me to prison?? Or, if I had the job, would I be kicked?? I like Chromebooks because they are so smol and nice. But I don’t know if it’s legal to install a Linux distro on it. Thank you!!
I don't think anyone is going to come smash down your door because you installed Ubuntu. But I don't know what country you are in and two years ago I wouldn't have believed Iranian police would kill people over wearing a hijab. So I think you should do it, but I also think you should stay safe.
Well, thinking about loading many christmas trees into and out of suv's and station wagons over the years, I can tell you that it's going to be a lot better in one direction than the other.

What's a sci-fi or fantasy book or series that you want to see adapted as a movie/television series?
I didn’t read this series when I was a kid, but I finally got around to reading Roger Zelazny’s Chronicles of Amber....

would it be illegal to download Ubuntu on a Chromebook?
