Every year is the year of the Linux desktop

Vote for Ed Davie if you get the chance.

Já maður, Bandaríkin sökka velkominn til landsins.

I mean, if they insist on everything being in Dutch then at least include a flag. If you’re going this deep on the UK obviously having the list in the native language is preferable.

The reason for the list above being all in Dutch might be because it’s a list of countries, not a list of languages. (I speak some Dutch)

They’re going to hiss at me aren’t they?

Always has been

If people really insist then at least have a flag emoji

The thing is that it’s legit a fraction and d/dx actually explains what’s going on under the hood. People interact with it as an operator because it’s mostly looking up common derivatives and using the properties.

Take for example ∫f(x) dx to mean "the sum (∫) of supersmall sections of x (dx) multiplied by the value of x at that point ( f(x) ). This is why there’s dx at the end of all integrals.

The same way you can say that the slope at x is tiny f(x) divided by tiny x or d*f(x) / dx or more traditionally (d/dx) * f(x).

Good one

What’s the term when a country has a brain drain but caused by itself?

Why not just, pretend it doesn’t exist?

TL;DR: Try installing some on virtual box, by all means try Linux mint cinnamon but also try Ubuntu and Fedora KDE.

Linux has some jargon and since you want to learn I’ll give you a quick rundown of how a variation of Linux is composed.

“Kernel” is what makes Linux Linux. It’s a way of interacting with the hardware.

A “distribution” or “distro” is a one of the many flavors of Linux.

They are usually “based” on a common foundation like Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, Nix and whatever. These also work like an onion where Mint is based on Ubuntu which in turn is based on Debian, all of which use some version of the Linux kernel.

A that’s just a base will just get you a terminal (also called a shell or console) and is very useful to make a server for example.

What most people think of as an OS is the user interface (i.e. clickable shit). The terminology in Linux for that is “desktop environment” (DE).

You’ll see a lot of distributions mix and watch between a base and a desktop environment such as Fedora with KDE, Ubuntu (Ubuntu with Gnome), Kubuntu (Ubuntu with KDE), Bazzite (Fedora silverblue base with either gnome, KDE or deck DE).

You mentioned Cinnamon. Cinnamon is a desktop environment for Mint so a Linux Mint Cinnamon contains the code of the following:

Linux kernel, Debian, Ubuntu and Mint as a base and Cinnamon to interact with it by using a mouse and keyboard.

There are currently three bases that are really popular right now, Ubuntu, Fedora and Arch. In the DE there are currently two that are most advanced, namely KDE and Gnome but Cinnamon is not far behind.

In all honestly, none of this matters all too much, just install a couple of popular distros on a virtual machine like Virtual Bok and do a vibe check.

Take a couple of these, install some programs and fuck around with the settings for a bit, install themes and whatever or watch a quick YouTube video on it:

• Ubuntu (gets hate for being corporate but is solid, uses Gnome)
• Linux mint Cinnamon
• Fedora KDE
• EndavourOS (an arch based distro that’s supposedly easy, haven’t tried it)
• Bazzite (weird way to install programs through the package manager but hard to fuck up beyond repair)
• Something with the Xfce DE just to see the “lightweight” look.

How about "Title.Up.To.20.Characters.Name.Lastname.et.al.id123523432.pdf

Maybe they’re scared that project Cybersyn would actually work

Upvote stuff I like such as positive news, shitposts, windows bad and Linux good posts.

Downvote rarely, only if the post is factually wrong or misleading and I’ve spent the time to confirm. “Person shreds other person” is a shit headline and unless he hit a 10 point debate combo with a knockout I’d Downvote.

I’ve heard that autism world view is more governed by values instead of which group you’re a part of. The question “describe yourself” was studied and autistic people respond with “conscientious, stubborn, eager to please, sharing and believe firmly in the pursuit of knowledge” while neurotypicals respond rather with “white Christian man from the Midwest” etc.

Honestly, to me it’s painfully obvious what Trumps game plan was going to be and there was an example of it before where he enacted the Muslim ban, had an anti Latino sentiment, inhumane detention camps and so on.

It seems to me that the voters didn’t feel included in the economy and they felt their way of life was slowly being removed by the Democrats so they voted for fascism. Instead of voting for the bad option they voted for worse because the bad option hadn’t been working for them so far.

US politics is a shitshow.

Spain even got an opt-out lol

Mark Rutte used to be the Dutch PM and his part in NATO is to advance the collective security of Europe, now by keeping the US on board. It’s a something for nothing.

The 5% is not binding, it’s just words on a paper, not even the US spends 5%.

Trump is getting played because of his fragile ego. Him sharing a message of a person stroking his ego is evidence of it working.
