Ok, I assumed it was in retaliation for Pearl harbour?

No one has mentioned the command line: aerc

I use it and it’s very minimal and clean.

The atomic bomb is the last image is the reason we haven’t had a world war in 70 years. It has saved more lives that it took. It’s the reason you sleep safe in your bed at nights. It was essential in ending the war against the Axis. You guys need to be grateful.

Napalming kids though, harder to defend….

I have literally been using the same build of dwm as my desktop env since 2007.

To give you an example, if git was under the MIT license instead of GPL , then Microsoft can silently add incompatible features to GitHub without anyone knowing. The regular git client appears to work for a while. Then they start advertising msgit with some extra GitHub features and shortcuts. Once they get to 50% adoption they simply kill the open source version off.

If GitHub required a special client to be installed tomorrow… I would have to concede and use it. It’s GPL that stops that because everyone has to get every new feature.

When Slack was first rolling out the dev team in my office of 50 people we all hated it. Thankfully it had an IRC bridge so we could use Slack through IRC. It was seemingly the same experience as before except more business users were in the chat rooms. Once the Corp side of the business were onboard, they dropped IRC support, forcing us to use their clients.

Now it doesn’t matter that rules or laws or privacy invasion they do. They have captured the companies communications and can hold it hostage.

I’ve seen it again and again. When is the last time you downloaded an MP3 file?

I remember in 2008 when the banks lost billions and had crashed, so the governments took literally all the tax payers money and bailed them out.

The system literally cannot be rigged more in their favour. It is impossible for them to fail because they are insured with your money.

Economy growing at 1%

Rich getting interest on their money at 4%

Therefore everyone else is getting poorer.

Don’t delude yourself in a lifetime of believing the housing market will collapse or that prices can’t continue to rise. That somehow some affordability ceiling will appear.

The rich have growing piles of money and no one else to put it. Gold has doubled, housing can too.

I had a 6700k until December just gone. For Linux it can do everything and anything. It’s totally usable! I only gave mine up because of CS2.

It’s ridiculous. The UK government cannot control the security features applied to people in other countries. Only its own country.

As a result of this, the American government can now, through iCloud servers decrypt and read all the data from all the phones used by UK government staff. You’ve lost more than you possibly gained.

Certainly weird that Biden provided arms to Ukraine but prevented them from using them in Russian territory. It does seem like all the US has done is surrender Ukraine slowly.

That’s because there’s no actual intention to protect Ukraine.

Giving 50% of all future profits is quite harsh but the first 50% until 750bn+ and NATO membership actually quite a good deal for both sides.

The browser based apps really don’t feel like alternatives. Scrolling in Excel 365 is particularly painful and it doesn’t seem to have the full range of functions and graph creation tools etc

Systemd has more features than old SysV init scripts. Particularly around detecting events and taking actions such as starting firewalls when joining networks, turning on battery tools when unplugged from a charger, starting new services when connected to a dock etc.

The other things it does, it does more reliably than sysV init scripts. It starts services concurrently, provides a profiler to improve start up time, contains much less code, provides better security to tapping into the container features of Linux.

Trump literally won an election off the back of promising to tackle this and Biden is “yeah fuck your democracy”.

I used to play with Linux at college back in 2002 and install the distros on the front of magazines. Eject opens the cd drive but did you know it hangs unless you umount the mount point first? Back in those days everything had to be painfully mounted and unmounted.

I’ve used Debian stable daily for 20 years.

When I was young and passionate about Linux there were lots of things that were behind and noticible. Notably big things like KDE with obvious graphical features that I could see I was missing out on.

After a few years I stop finding any excitement in upgrading at all. I became critical of pointless features and rewrites. KDE is worse if anything.

In the last 5 years there has been stuff I’ve wanted that’s existed outside the project. Docker when it came out, Wireguard. I just ended up waiting.

The only software I run outside the repositories atm is neovim and that’s because I want to use the latest Scala-metals IDE tool. That itself is becoming more stable though.
