We already have Interac, a good homegrown solution. I’m sure it wouldn’t be that hard for banks to piggyback on it to make credit transactions rather than debit.

I didn’t - I was just commenting on how its users are the new Arch users. It isn’t a compliment.

NixOS is the new Arch. I’m surprised nobody here has said they use it yet.

Oh neat it’s Komorebi dude. I used to use that when I still had Windows.

They should have called it “du coup” for that authentic frenchness.

I’m glad I’m not the only one - the article is disinformation, “fake news” in the purest sense.

Hell yes - as long as it still fits in my pocket. That was a prolem with some of the later Blackberry models.

Me using KDE Plasma because I prefer to work with my computer rather than work on my computer:

It’s really a great distro, I’ve been using it fulltime on laptop and PC for over a year. Best one I’ve tried so far and for some reason it’s less buggy than EndeavourOS was for me. The only thing I don’t like about it is the name.

I’m surprised you didn’t hear about that, because it was a huge controversy. it was limited to a few countries though (or maybe only the UK?)

The equation they are thinking of, though, is “will the cost of those who actually quit using Windows outweigh the cost of building and maintaining this feature.” Funnily enough the inability to move the taskbar is what finally pushed me to Linux full-time, but the overwhelming majority will complain and stick to Windows.

Default subs were already heavily astroturfed garbage. Smaller subs still generally fly under the radar, for now at least.

I like that phrasing.

That’s true, but to reuse my comparison to Romans, we call Augustus “emperor” too despite the term “imperator” being co-opted from an earlier, different meaning. I can see both points of view here, I just don’t feel strongly enough to see it as a red flag. God knows there are lots of other, actual red flags.

I know, but convention is to use a person’s final and highest title. Nobody refers to Julius Caesar as “quaestor”.

I don’t think the Merkel comparison is accurate - no one called her Leader, we called her the Chancellor (Kanzler), because that’s the job title. “Chancellor” is a pretty specific word in English with a narrower meaning and clearer connotation than “leader”, which can be used in a huge variety of contexts. The problem is that English doesn’t have a 1:1 translation of Fuehrer as we do with Kanzler, and “leader” is too generic versus Chancellor, Prime Minister, President, etc. Maybe “Supreme Leader” would work, but I haven’t seen that used often enough for it to stick.

We also use “Dalai Lama”, for example. Changing it to “leader” would lose a lot in translation. There’s a very long list of more problematic things with Musk and this ego project than this particular wording choice.

Could be, but Rust has been around long enough that we’d see this already, no?

I feel like I’ve seen an insane number of error messages in various apps and websites around the unwrap method.

I suspect this is related to LLM usage somehow. We’ll probably see a lot more of this type of problem (sudden flareups of a particular bad code implementation)

Ah right, I forgot MS bought them.
