Me when learning GH Actions/CI/CD

"Modern" UI design be like: fat paddings everywhere

In my opinion, it's bad either way for different reasons

If they do tell the difference, then there is some tracking built into the machine that runs the engine, which is bad for the application user

If they don't tell the difference, then there will be exploits for intentionally reinstall multiple times, which is bad for the application developers

Linus Sebastian will ignore all text and type yes do as I say

Funny thing is Windows accepts forward slashes as arguments in programs and API for long time. They just refuse to return forward slashes and don't give users/developer options to do so, so we have to deal with it anyway

GNOME is more keyboard-focused "in the way the devs thought it's good". If users want to change the way, they gonna use tweaks, dconf editor or gsettings and navigate a jungle of key-value pairs like Windows Registry

TLDR:

Pros: is a DE

Cons: is a DE

More like heaven implementation within emacs, so you don't even leave emacs in your second life

Good devs are good regardless of context, they may have their personal preferences but in the end welcome bug reports and feature requests, especially the helpful ones because it helps the project. Bad devs are dicks regardless of context as well, all they care about is review rate and other numbers appear in the scoreboard

At least man pages are better than ChatGPT or other generative LLM that can hallucinate

If you use zsh, there is zsh syntax highlighting plugin. For bash, a cursory search gave me ble.sh which looks interesting. And as other threads have mentioned, fish shell has this built in, but beware fish shell syntax works drastically differently from other POSIX shells

For me it's the fact that Ubuntu forcefully shove snap into my system when I want the normal deb install with apt. I'm sure snap has gone better over the years but this is something that I absolutely hate. When I want to use snap/flatpak, I can use snap/flatpak install, and when I say apt install it should be deb install as it's supposed to be as a Debian variant. Linux tools has always been known for doing exactly what is told, whereas what Ubuntu is recently doing is the opposite of it

One of the points I often give to people who claim "I don't care about my privacy" is maybe others close them do, and endangering others' privacy and data security is an irresponsible decision as a partner, parent, friend or family member, so it's always good to raise awareness

Extensions are not equivalent to native customization, and both have pros and cons. On one hand, extensions provide a variety of features that can be added specific to people's likings, but on the other hand, there are chances of incompatibility (in gnome shells for example) and delayed maintenance from developers (which results in having to wait for them to finish the work when dependency updates)

Hello, I shut down PC every time I'm done using it like it's 1997

"Hey you want some potato chips?"

• "Potato chip sounds good" => Yes please
• "I'm good" => No thanks

Messed me up all the time first time came to the US. Why use positive response for rejection?

Can't wait for another year of Milf Hunter winning a deck and reformed Orthodox Rabbi getting nominated!

Popular projects get more attention, more contributions and donations, and as a result are fast to add features, fix bugs and have a larger community to help each other. I would choose a program that's comparatively simple and stable than a program packed with features I really like, but full of bugs. I don't think it's unreasonable to consider popularity as a metric to choose apps

Maintainability is inverse correlated to job security anyway

Deterministic when hit by that weird cosmic ray: ❌❌
