It is just mentioned. Just a description of what happened. What’s wrong about saying it was a white male when it was a white male? Why jump to the opinion that mentioning the gender or complexion has any other purpose than being descriptive?

Some would say that most of the spending is based on greed. Individual salaries doubled to tripled in the last decade, with their head earning three quarters of a million now.

It was a tenth 15 years ago.

They started out right, like they all do. Then personal money catches up.

What do you mean, the same group of people? You take the vaccine once, usually when you are a child. So if you got it for your kid, and they decided you are an archaic, brainwashed fool and didn’t get it for theirs, there you go.

In the end, how is that different from not praising all the library coders and open source parts?

Praise goes to the marketing guys. And rightly so. Without them, nobody of consequence would buy or use the code. ;)

I have never heard of alt+left, and I’ve been using the Internet since Mosaic was all the rage. Shame on me, it seems to be implemented in all browsers. How could I have missed it?

The poor should be the standard metric.

How to make the world work with the least amount of employment imaginable.

The opposite. Not found negatives. Anti-virus software can only tell you that it didn’t find a virus, not that there aren’t any.

It’s not my post, nor my picture.

It’s a Holocaust picture

Because sponsoring doesn’t infringe on privacy, is usually controlled by the channel, and is often relevant.

Would a non-linux user visit any such sub-community though? Perhaps Linux news and discussions would be better off in a sub-community? Actual users are more sensible to such distinctions. Many potential new users have a hard time choosing a distro already. Adding yet another choice might be detrimental to the cause.

Every single story saturates the perception-pool a bit more. The more normal it appears, the more people will realize that windows isn’t all-present anymore, and that it’s not a weird thing to do to try Linux.

To me, that would be more like “I stopped eating junk” posts. The world needs more of those.

That is how I see it, at least.

I back up my homedir and data with regular tools. I am trying to come up with a reason why my whole system might need one. 95% of that is basically the standard stuff.

I guess I believe that backups and file systems should be separate things.

I had to look that up. Never became an issue for me on any distro. How do you get a broken system when updating? Does it really happen that often? I might just have been lucky.

It could be done for tech. It is impossible for vegans. That was all I was saying. Or wanted to say.

I was referring to the spectrum computer, which can’t run Linux. It wasn’t about people on the Spectrum, which are probably all of us, in some fashion?

Ah, that makes sense. Inwas hung up on the word, interpreting it as a single guy, not an entity. Thank you.

Shared containers work beautifully for a lot of things, though, many programs aren’t all that sensitive either. Making snaps for the tricky ones makes sense. Having snaps for all of them is ridiculous.

I can count the software requiring repo-pins on one hand on my desktop. For those, snaps make sense, replacing the need for any pins. Snaps are less confusing than pins. IMO.

It reminds me of Python programming, with requirements pinned to version ranges. Some dev-teams forget, and their apps won’t work out of the box. Sometimes, software still works ten years later, if they only use the most common arguments and commands from the packages.

Snaps <==> Virtualenv.

How is “the dev of the app” defined, exaxtly?
