Let’s see how the incoming regime goes. Most people seem to view him as a useful idiot and it wouldn’t be difficult for trump to bury him by ripping up contracts or regulating him into obscurity
I miss the KDE 3.x crystal theme

It’s not that I can’t stay up all night, it’s that I have too much on to waste half a day sleeping
This is so mind numbingly fucking stupid. I have linguistics training and my dickhead uncle tried to pull this one on me. He’s never tried to flex his grammar on me since.
Next time this shit happens to you, try this trick.
In the above question, the word “can” could be interpreted in one of two senses.
As a competent English speaker, you will easily infer that vampire is using the deontic “can”.
The confusion seems to derive from the recipient’s inability to understand that modals in English grammar can possess different senses depending on context.
It is worth noting that the deontic “can” has been documented in writings for hundreds of years. It is a normal and standard element of English grammar. Case in point: the idiot trying to flex on you knows what you mean but they’re pretending they don’t.
It’s not my problem that you don’t understand basic English grammar. Maybe you should go read a few books and educate yourself.
I wish that naked TLDs were a thing. Like https://com/ or https://london/
I used to love forums back in the day, but I must say I’ve really gotten over the format of the medium. It promotes email-like long form responses with space used up with avatar images, handles and signature blocks. Nested replies become a nightmare steer several layer’s and you’re cooked on mobile.
Would love a Lemmy-like plugin to parse vBulletin forums. Endless scroll for topics, minimal non-content fluff, easy and quick replies. (The irony of this reply length isn’t lost on me. Most of my replies are short, promise!)
Thanks for the suggestion I’ll follow it up!
I remember HATING clothes for Christmas. But now it’s all I want (so long as it’s my style). I don’t want random useless shit at Christmas, I want stuff I can use for years and wear out.
FHS is an absolute dumpster fire that would never be dreamed up in this day and age
One pothole and it’s done for
People using carriage returns as paragraph breaks 😭😭😭
I’d agree with this. When I first started using Excel in school and university, I’d follow the instructions and not really know why I was doing what I was doing.
But then, having to work with Excel at work and make it do new shit, the penny dropped in my head and I understood how spreadsheets worked.
I use spreadsheets for heaps of things now, even if I don’t need to use formulas. Excel has some weird idiosyncrasies but it’s a good product overall. It’s not as bad as Word, which most people use incorrectly.
Regardless of how you interpret the statistics, I think that this is a sign that the long vexed problem of software distribution for Linux has been significantly improved. Not quite solved, but for most desktop apps this is fantastic news.
I’ve started using Tree Style Tabs in Firefox and really like it. Maybe vertical tabs aren’t so bad?
This is slightly unrelated, but I’ve been slowly moving to Linux from windows for a while. I haven’t made the full plunge yet, but here’s my biggest strategy:
Use as many apps on windows as you can on Linux.
I’m using Okular, Ghostwriter, Libreoffice, Cider, etc. every month or so, another app is moved across.
Then, I make the switch and all my apps are there as I’m used to them.
If you have the room, you can often buy these second hand for a bargain from colleges etc. They’re built like tanks and you can wash almost anything inside them. When they do break, laundry operators try to DIY so there are videos everywhere on how to do repairs.
Needs collab features somehow 🥲
With the Reboot Into Selected, will this modify the next boot only without changing the default?
