I would not be surprised if my old coworker-friends started a separate group chat without me after the nth, “Maybe you should come to one of these protests” and “Please at least read the wikipedia summary on this historical topic before you start going off about it” message from me.
They’re fine people but they’re also kind of very… apolitical.
Just one dish and one fork, typically. Sometimes the rice cooker.
I think installing Linux exposes you to higher severity issues, like “now it won’t boot”. Once you get over that initial setup, it’s not much different than windows or apple.
If more computers came with it pre installed, it would be even easier for folks.
I think about half the time I’ve installed Linux it was fine. The other half were problems with esoteric solutions.
Still glad I made the switch.
Linux doesn’t really have the profit motives that lead to enshittification.
I guess a bigger entity could try to start charging for… something… Support, maybe, but that seems unlikely to take off.
I pretty much wash as needed.
Need a fork? Take out of sink, wash it.
Need a bowl? Take out of sink, wash it.
Need more room in sink? Take stuff out of sink and wash until there’s room
Works pretty well. Never really have a big stack up in the sink. Throws me off when guests come over and just grab stuff out of the cabinets and drawers like normal people, though.
Use a dedicated data type or library. Some languages also have something like python’s Decimal type
>>> .1 + .2
0.30000000000000004
>>> Decimal(".1") + Decimal(".2")
Decimal('0.3')
Yep. Open your browser’s console and do .1 + .2 and you get 0.30000000000000004.
One of the reasons not to use floating point when working with money.
One of the guys I used to work with that was like that seems to have other hobbies. He likes riding his bike and learning guitar, playing video games, traveling Europe. But he’ll also just work though a weekend or on his vacation. I don’t get it.
It’s also full of boot lickers. Had people on my team that were like “oh I’ll just work this weekend to make the deadline” and I’m like why. They made the deadline even though we told them it was too aggressive. You don’t get paid more for hitting it or for putting more hours in. Stop enabling them and devaluing labor.
That won’t work if the check is server side, and they don’t send the article content to you at all without paying. That seems to be the case here.
Since when did zitron paywall his posts?? I usually read them and I understand giving content away for free is largely unsustainable, but I’m too unemployed to want to pay $7/mo
You can turn that one on desktop off, btw
I don’t know why anyone would be surprised that discord is getting shittier. It’s a private for profit org. Not getting shitty is an exception.
I know plenty of adults who are really bad at money and paying bills.
I feel like the average video game player has really poor media and political literacy, but maybe it’s just the ones who make noise online who fit that profile.
I used to try to explain to management that some debt is high interest.
I feel like this is just illegal in states that require two party consent for recording, but I’m not a lawyer.
It’s also just generally a bad idea and everyone involved in making it should be barred from working in technology.
You don’t get to be CEO without weapons grade hubris, I guess.
That sounds terrible and I absolutely do not want that.
Linux is often more forgiving on hardware requirements. I recently put Mint (with xfce) on a like 2013 laptop and it’s fine. That’s not even an especially lightweight distribution.
