And it’s dirt cheap

Before the war in Ukraine I had stable 1 Gbit/s for 5$/month with two dedicated IPs

Here in Ireland you get 100 Kbits/s sometimes because they can’t pull you a fiber connection and 4G towers are overloaded to hell, and it costs 20-40€/month

I mean, there are history videos for things that are 1-2 years old too that are there to sum up everything known and explain things to people out of the loop

That’s the point, DRM would force everyone to use a “compliant” browser (Chrome, or extension-free Firefox etc), and the other browsers might not be able to show content; they may also lock the content from copying and editing without special tools, just like website video DRM works now

But we already see “sorry you’re running adblocker so no content for you” websites, so I’m not sure if that’s gonna change much

I would rather use Snap than Docker

Fuck Docker and their bullshit pricing schemes

It very highly depends on the application

For something used daily that’s more or less true

For something that needs very complex configuration like specific ffmpeg transcoding rules and cmake build files - you’d have menus that are 5-10 pages long and full of super detailed selections and forms, while in reality you’d only want to switch on or off one thing, so it would be easier just to write the command

When I made my small game engine I had a second window full of settings that I could change dymamicaly. After like 2 months of work it was so full of settings it was very hard to navigate even with all subdivisions and layouts properly made

Also, GUI apps often lack specific or new settings for the terminal app they’re built on

Funnily enough, they still make them, both on steaming platforms and on CDs, swear to god there’s one on my nearest Tesco’s shelf

They probably meant that GNU holds half of the Linux desktop usage, and Chrome OS the other

Most probably not, at least in my programs I’ve never made a flag, because my delays are usually no more than 3 seconds anyway

I’m pretty sure it’s either a myth (that it doesn’t work) or some US-centric thing, because when I worked as a delivery guy, I used to go through probably hundreds of different elevators in high-density residential buildings, and most of them have doors that stay open very long to allow baby strollers and heavy appliances to be placed inside, and on pretty much all of these the door closing button works, immediately closing the door

This is what I and many other programmers have done (not the removal, but fake delays), because it improves user experience, actually:

1.When the user clicks a button that should take long in their mind (like uncompressing a zip file etc) but is actually fast, it might seem like something is wrong and it didn’t work

2.When the user transitions between layouts of the application, if it loads everything too fast it will look too abrupt, a fake delay will be made here if a transition animation is not possible/doesn’t fit

The source is satire

Used it every day when delivering, because there was much more detail than google maps, so I could actually see where fences and gates are. Used Waze to drive and OSM to walk.

Weird, all the sanitizers I’ve seen have a big ass label that says “non-alcohol” on them, both sprayed and gel-like

If they asked what distro, they know the btw meme for sure

Mechanical keyboard. Almost had no money back then, but wanted to treat myself. It costed 100$, and I regretted it the next morning. Felt like shit, but it was so cool to type on.

After 5 years, this metal-frame keyboard managed to survive many outside gigs, long travels, literal war, and it’s still with me. And I still love typing on it. Sometimes I code just to type. You can guess why I don’t use code completion tools.

Damn. You must be printing alot

You can say something like “I’ve been here before the Steam Deck” or “I’ve seen the SystemD holy war” or any of the earlier changes around linux you’ve encountered

But how do you use less paper for it, compared to just turning the page around yourself?

What’s duplex?

This is correct. Folded directory.
