puppy,

Firefox on Android and its many derivatives (I use Fennec) have uBlock Origin as a browser extension.

puppy,

I think they aren’t billionaires precisely because they worked for the good of the internet/knowledge.

If they indeed became billionaires that would imply that how they conduct themselves had completely been altered along with their core beliefs.

puppy,

I just double checked top 20 posts sorted by “hot”. Only 2 has any relation to Software. Zero posts relating to Linux. Is there a particular post you have in mind?

puppy, (edited )

TIL. Thanks OP. I have been using “vi” followed by “x” followed by “i” all this time.

This package of bagels I bought expired on a date that doesn't exist. (i.imgur.com)

I originally posted this on the other site back when I took the picture, and it resulted in a lot of confused comments, especially from Americans, eventually getting removed by overzealous mods. Either way, I promise you that this date does not exist, and has never existed.

puppy,
  1. Last time I spoke a date. When I speak it’s either February 23rd or 2023 February 23rd.
  2. Yes.
puppy,

Yes.

That actually exists. Google “Toyota TownAce truck” or “Toyota LiteAce truck”. There are used 90s models to brand new 2023 models.

puppy,

I’m all for it. I’d like them to lead by example. If this was actually enforced I bet my bottom dollar that public transport/mirco-mobility issues would be completely solved in 15 years max.

puppy,

Right now? 2. Generally? under 10.

puppy,

IGN for trailers. Gamer Nexus for hardware related things and benchmarks.

puppy,

WinGet is an AppGet rip-off without even a mention of the original creator. I’m still salty about that.

puppy,

terrorist threat that has manifested itself time and time again

You mean Israeli occupation inside Palestinian borders?

puppy,

Yes. k9s comes to my mind.

puppy,

Linux needs constant babysitting? Hmm I wonder why the majority of the internet servers is Linux not Windows. Even in critical infrastructure where stability is valued, not cost.

However you can’t choose a bad distro (bad for your needs that is) ans expect a flawless experience. When I read your first sentence I expected you to be a video editor or in a field where the industry standard software is only limited to Windows. But if your a developer it’s 100% your fault. I am running Linux for over a decade with zero problems. Only time when I had a problem, I was running Arch (btw) and updating the system blindly, daily.

The year of the DESKTOP Linux. Linux has already won everywhere else.

allProgrammingJokes[Math.floor(Math.random() * allProgrammingJokes.length)]

This might throw array index out of bounds errors.

puppy,

Please describe depression. And please ELI5.

Random thought: Windows is largely successful because of Piracy

Windows as a software package would have never been affordable to individuals or local-level orgs in countries like India and Bangladesh (especially in the 2000’s) that are now powerhouses of IT. Same for many SE Asian, Eastern European, African and LatinoAmerican countries as well....

puppy,

Unless the work is only using a web browser, you need programs and stuff,

My employer is a sizeable tech firm that uses the Microsoft suite. The irony is that developers use WSL because the software they need are on Linux. We haven’t switched to Linux just because the IT department doesn’t know shit about managing a Linux fleet of devices. They haven’t bothered to get the training/certificates because Windows is the status quo for big corps. This will stay this way until the next gen of sys admins form the majority, I guess.

puppy,

Same with South Asia. That’s how the independent resellers do it. The authorised resellers either mark up the price for the Windows license or sell without an OS for a reduced price.

How is it communism? What makes a thing communist as opposed to capitalist?

What things do you do while eating?

I have a terrible habit of watching Youtube while I eat, and then one video turns to ten and I’ve wasted the entire day. I’ve tried just not watching it while I eat, but JUST eating is so incredibly boring that I cave in and turn it on regardless. I can’t get any work done while eating either, since it takes me out of flow...

puppy,

This is exactly me!

The soap company wasn’t going to give it up for the Tide pods, you know?

puppy,

Sadly common worldview among societies with “culture and history”. Ironically this culture of monogamy and being so sexually prude is a result of Western colonisation. These are Christian ideals, not necessarily the ideals of Buddhism or Hinduism (Remember Temples of Kama Sutra, anyone?). While the colonies have stuck with 1800s, the colonisers have moved on.

puppy,

If you get a full rest regardless of the sleep length, why sleep for more than a minute or two?
