I first thought you wrote boolean float, not sure if that’s even worse.

I have a different theory.

When you buy a desktop or laptop 99.9% of them will come with Windows preinstalled. Unless you get an Apple product, but than its 100% macOS.

So everyone running Linux has chosen to not go for the easy option, but spend some time and effort to install something they prefer.

So that immediately is a filter, where people that just go for the default easy option are filtered out.

So it makes total sense the Linux community has more people that are not afraid to choose a path they perfer instead of just doing what everyone else does, because doing something else is harder and for many people scary.

My experience (and this is purely anecdotal) is that the hacker/cybersecuruty community is also like this and has a lot of trans people compared to the total population.

I don’t know how this works in the US, but where I live after a year subscription (let’s say for your internet provider or something). They can only renew per month. So if the year subscription is over you can cancel any service every month and they can’t hit you with any fees.

Back in the day if you’d forgot to cancel your plan you’d be stuck with them for another year. It sucked!

Not American but from EU, have a 3 day survival box with water and food.

There is a real chance Russia at some point attacks, I don’t think they will drop a nuke any time. But they might try to sabotage the electricity network or financial system. So if a large (cyber) attack happens my family has enough for 3 days, a week if we have to.

There was a time before Windows where a lot of people used MS-DOS and it was all terminal. Maybe computers where less popular back in those days because of the learning curve, but still many people used a PC with just the terminal.

I’m getting pretty old so I have experienced multiple waterfall projects. The comic should be

You want to go to mars You spend 3 months designing a rocket You spend 6 months building a rocket You spend a month testing the rocket and notice there is a critical desing flaw.

You start over again with a new design and work on it for 2 months You spend another 6 months building it You spend 2 months testing

Rocket works fine now, but multiple other companies already have been to Mars, so no need to even go anymore.

I said it before and I’ll say it again, Linux mint is the work horse of all the distros! Its easy, it usually just works, it’s the distro you pick when you want to get work done.

I have been using Linux for 2 decade’s now and have tried all the major distros. Somehow I keep getting back to mint because I don’t spend too much time to get it just right, and I actually spend time on my work.

I honestly hope this will result is a strong alliance between the EU and Canada and if possible other countries. It’s kind of our own fault for relying on the US for too long, we need to make sure we can protect ourselves without the US.

Lemmy kind of sucks, that’s why I like it. Reddit to me was like beer and Lemmy is like non alcoholic beer. If stop drinking a non alcoholic beer is fine, but I don’t really need one every day.

I have a similar sort of recipe, but instead of the broiler, you can also drain all the liquid, put it back in the slow cooker and set it to high for 1 hour.

I usually drain the liquid to a small pan and boil it until it becomes much less liquid and more like a sauce, I add it back to the slowcooker after the hour is done.

I also have odido and pay 16, unlimited calls (I think also text), 25GB of data. I think it was 20GB, but we get 5GB extra because my wife also has odido. 25GB is more than enough for my use, I used 12GB max in the last 12 months.

Maybe just get a large monitor? Its probably cheaper too

Yeah it’s like saying if you support free software, you support companies to not pay taxes or companies putting nicotine in products.

Same, not going to happen…

I don’t really visit reddit anymore, but still end up there sometimes because of a google search. Anyway there is an extension for Firefox Android to always show old Reddit. So you don’t have to log in or install the app.

If anyone is going to do it, the guy that is nearly dead might be the one. It could be his greatest legacy.

On the other hand does it really matter? Like Obama had a plan to “fix” healthcare and in the end he couldn’t really do anything about it. The entire system you have sucks.

Musk probably said something like they used a revolutionary new type of stainless steel, designed for spaceX rockets. Have you ever seen rust in space? No because it’s that revolutionary, and we all know space is filled with water and oxygen.

No but I am looking for a new laptop and this time I’ll definitely spent more time checking Linux compatibility.

My previous thinkpad worked fine out of the box, but my current laptop is an HP Omen, that I mostly selected for the price to performance ratio. But I immediately learned that Linux compatibility sucked. Like not being able to boot an Ubuntu usb drive (without messing with the boot parameters).

One thing I like is that it runs on Linux, so outlook isn’t an option for me anyway.

I tried other mail clients but most of them don’t work with exchange servers (and 2FA)
