I could care less that he removed inclusion, if that was all it was. But it got replaced by “innovation”, which coming from a guy who proudly lists his private capital ventures sounds like a dog whistle for figuring out how to fuck over customers.

Bad portents all around.

Being so impossibly sexy and yet still intimidating for no reason.

Also Wifi support for certain chip sets.

Oh hi it’s me. Archwiki and tldr are great, but man pages explain things adequately about 20% of the time.

Many of the Ms we’re supposed to R aren’t very well written, and we need to be open to explaining how things work in different ways if we want others to take up with the things we like.

“but reviewed and heavily tested over 2-3 weeks by me. I created comparison documents, went through all queries multiple times and reviewed the logic over and over again. I also did load tests and manual regression tests, which took lots of evenings.”

This is the way.

Interface matters a ton, of course. But once you switch between a few it gets easier, even if you retain your preferences.

It seems to me that having a mouse button defaultly paste the contents of the keyboard without the inclusion of a modifier key is just a bad idea.

As you said, you have pasted the wrong thing by accident because it’s one button press.

It just seems to me that by default pasting text should not be done by a single button press anywhere where your hand rests, like a mouse or the center of a keyboard. I’m not saying people shouldn’t be able to make it’s a configurable option, options are good, but it is not a good default.

I use Windows at work and it reminds me of how much I love Linux.

I think it’s certainly possible for us to move away from Windows and Mac, but convincing people isn’t easy. The end users would be easiest to convince because most of them are just using the limited array of applications required for the business and don’t much care what’s under the hood. The people who really need convincing are the reat of local IT support and maybe vendors.

I think the path to broader business adoption of Linux runs through IT support.

TFM is best found in the form of the man (manual) files, which you can see for any given program by running:

$ man program_name

Archwiki is good too, even of you don’t run Arch

Every time someone says “I can’t stand the gaslighting and abuse anymore. This time I’m leaving him.” it’s an opportunity for them to really follow through.

Sometimes we are held back more by the stories we tell ourselves than our actual capacities. And the solution is to stop telling ourselves what we can’t do, but telling ourselves that we can and even will change our situations.

Eat of this toenail, for it is my flesh. Do this in remembrance of me.

Why proprietary cloud-based IoT isn’t sustainable.

16gb seems huge.

Is there some sort of rubric you follow that leads you to that figure?

The bottom level of your file system is /, not C:, and other drives or partitions you have will be represented in subfolders like mnt or something.

Everything is represented as a file, even things that are not strictly speaking a file on your primary hard drive.

The part that you interact with the most, your graphical user interface, has a particular name, like gnome, kde, xfce, icewm, etc.

When you have to open a terminal, you might be interacting with different shells as well, but it will usually be bash.

Always install from the repos unless your nerdy friend who helped you get set up says it’s okay to download this or that particular app.

Maybe include a bit about how to run regular backups automatically.

And also list out different alternative programs relative to what they might be used to in a Microsoft environment.

I like Aegis.

Congratulations, you’re not an asshole. 🙃

Also apparently it’s already been forked 🎉

What’s the gui-based irc client people are using now instead?

Wait is hexchat really dead? Didn’t it replace xchat? So what’s the go to irc client now?

From what I can tell the steering committee (project leadership) wanted to modify the mod team, the mod team wants to be independent of the leadership of the project, and one member of the certain committee works or did work for a genuinely shitty company in some capacity.

Sounds like interpersonal bullshit reframed as politics. Honestly impressed at the resignation letter being able to use so many words while avoiding actually directly explaining what they’re upset about. Of course it would take something really egregious and extraordinary for me to give a shit, because…

The steering committee or board of trustees or whatever should be sitting the rules for the organization, up to an including adding or removing mods from a forum if they want. That’s what they exist for. The idea that a mod team should be independent of the actual organizational structure of an institution is ridiculous.

Looking for overnight jobs might help. He could try disabling them and see if the issue stops, and if it does then re-enable them in a controlled way to determine which one was causing it.
