In Cory Doctorows latest book he describes that it was revealed that google not only neglected the search function, but deliberately made it worse. If you have to search several times to find a good result, they can show you several ads.
Head says Linux Mint
Heart says listen to the head
Tiling WM Arch
Maybe this is the plan, first get stuck in a war against an old enemy some time before midterm elections, fake a terrorist attack on US soil, Trump suspends elections and sends a nuke because he always wanted to. But first he tells his friends to short the market.
I interpreted the question less about kde vs gnome, and more about kde or gnome vs other desktops. Maybe OP intended the former now that I read it again. I used to have heavily personal setups of DWM or CWM back in the day, with lots of small scripts to cover some functionality, but now I just want the “default” because the OS itself stopped being my hobby. Nothing against KDE, I just found GNOME to be more polished out of the box and stayed.
I got tired of “customizing” everything and just wanted to get work done. GNOME is the default on many distros, so I learned the intended workflow instead of fighting it. Now I can just install a distro and be productive immediately instead of spending time tweaking things.
You’d never guess if you just met her, she’s a 5’2 ballet dancer but she knows everything about various serial killers. People are complex, we have many sides.
I met my girlfriend on IRC, we’ve been living together for 7 years now. She was trolling people with goatse pics and we started talking about philosophy and poetry etc and then it turned out that she’s a super cute canadian girl. This is usually not the story we tell people when they ask how we met.
I miss websites, like, the “under construction”-gif era websites about medieval swords or tv-show fandoms or such.
But are we aware of existing things in themselves, apart from the idea and perception in our minds?
How does this differ from having an idea or perception in our minds about existing things?
I used to translate things in Debian, but I stopped for this reason. It’s making it harder for everyone. People in sweden don’t know the swedish technical word for “routing”, but everyone knows what a router is. (Trivia, the word is “dirigering”.)
Start doing it with 418 and see if they understand that one?
What generic content do you think is missing most?
Is there perhaps an opportunity here for a hybrid model? OnlyFOSS? We could involve the unixsocks community, and either we subscribe to see them code (free) software, or, we pay with free code to get access to someone talking about mechanical keyboards and minimalist tiling wms etc. Or, there could be a platform like gofundme where projects could have wishlists of what they need, programmers can name a price, and people can fund it. There’s a risk that the “boring” parts get ignored though, like infrastructure maintenance or code review, in favor of flashy new features like quarter tiling in gnome or wobbly windows?
I not an expert in this, but I work with patients who often need help calming down. In the beginning I tried to say a lot of things, offering a different perspective or trying to fix a problem. But now I just try to be there and listen. And not try to fill the silence. Sometimes a calming hand on the shoulder helps, sometimes not. Affirm the feeling and don’t argue facts. Last week a patient was upset because she was hallucinating an injured angry dog outside. Instead of telling her she’s wrong, I can only say that I myself cannot see a dog, but it sounds scary, and that she’s safe here. Another patient said she wanted to die. I think I just said “is that how you feel?” and so but the important part is to be there, just being, without rushing, letting someone feel seen and heard.
If your threat model involves spying on that level, sure, self-hosting at home is probably warranted. What I mean is that I’d rather have one powerful computer and the rest, laptop, phone, etc, use that resource instead of each device being an island. I don’t want my files spread out over so many devices, I want access to everything from everything.
I’m not opposed to this, but we (the users) need control over that cloud.
I don’t have any statistics, but I’ve heard that OpenBSD has more dogfooding than FreeBSD.
Congrats on the electrician apprenticeship program! As a swede I know how seasonal affective disorder can be, winter depression, it’s dark all the time, and cold. But, it won’t last forever.
What do you mean?
