At 17, I think yes. Unless Tiffany is too young. And make sure he has condoms.

My dad who retires today and who has been a Windows user since roughly 1993 has set up multiple Pi-Holes and OpenVPN in the last few years and recently even installed Ubuntu in WSL so he can run bash scripts locally too. He’s not in a tech job, he’s a doctor.

A year ago my friend who has been using Windows for his gaming for the last 22 years asked my to help him set up a Fedora dual boot. Just to play around with, even though he doesn’t have a tech background. He didn’t really use it much. But today his work had him blocked by their own fuck-up and he decided to use the time to try it out again.

This evening he told me about how he upgraded his Fedora back to a current version using GUI tools. Then he saw that Windows wasn’t the default boot in his grub boot order anymore. He tried to find an app for editing grub, realised this was the kind of thing people do with CLI. So in the next two hours he learned enough CLI using a free beginners lesson he found online somewhere, until he found the history command, where he found the grub command we used during the original setup. He was so excited about this success!

I think the CLI criticisms are way overblown, and non-programmers can use CLIs perfectly well if they want to.

My computer doesn’t really break, I’m Ship of Theseus-ing it regularly.

Apart from that, the only one among the normal window based ones that has felt like it respects my will to configure stuff in ways that feel right to me has been KDE Plasma.

He just said there weren’t any in Dutch on his niche topic. Your suggestion to learn more Dutch doesn’t make sense.

I think I finally found what I was put on this earth to do: Knife goes in guts come out.

Definitely the command. CLI commands are simple and portable. Asking the user what DE they are using for an extra round trip and then making a description of the pointy-clicky-ceremony has way to much friction.

Here’s what travelers should know: “This site isn’t available in your region | usatoday.com”

Yeah very cool. Also I presume that translates to “We can’t be fucked to care about user privacy enough to comply with GDPR”. And also “We can’t be fucked to know what the EU is”. Because they are blocking access to me here in Switzerland, outside the EU, where GDPR doesn’t apply.

9 years and 4 months ago I bought an Acer laptop with a 4 core Intel Skylake with hyperthreading (i7-6700HQ) and a Nvidia GTX 960M, because the laptop I had was slow for compiling in my classes at Uni, and I wanted a discrete GPU for the occasional game when away from my Desktop PC (winter break and such (still use it for that btw)). I regretted that three times:

• First when I wanted to install Linux instead of just using VMs. In early 2016 the kernels on live system ISOs didn’t properly support Skylake yet, so I fucked around with Arch a bunch, but didn’t end up keeping it installed. Don’t remember why, probably got busy with schoolwork.

• Then a while later, after I had installed Ubuntu or Fedora at some point, the next issue was that cooperative mode of Bluetooth and Wifi on the included Intel wireless chip wasn’t well supported (even found an Intel Bluetooth dev saying as much on a mailing list), and it hung sometimes, so I had to make a script to turn the chip off and then rescan the PCI bus, that worked as a workaround but was still annoying.

• Finally when we had Machine Learning classes I thought I might be able to use CUDA locally, so I tried installing the proprietary Nvidia driver and was greeted by a black screen on the next boot. Had to boot from a live system and chroot in to remove the proprietary crap again.

On my Desktop PC I have used AMD GPUs for quite a while and dual booting Windows and Linux has always been a breeze.

Here in Switzerland the name really depends on which one you’re actually making. Omelettes, Pfannkuchen, Kaiserschmarrn, Crêpes, Pancakes. You can find them all. My mother likes making Omelettes the most, I like making Pancakes the most.

We still use RCS at work. For config files for our network monitoring. Works fine still.

Reading the article helps to answer this question:

The DOJ is asking the court to force Google to promptly and fully divest itself of Chrome, along with any data or other assets required for its continued operation.

It also links the filing, see specifically “III. Plaintiffs’ Revised Proposed Final Judgment”

Brilliant title! And interesting history meme of course.

In 3 months ~64 day would be weekdays and ~26 days would be weekends.

So a likely scenario is 64*4+26*9.4

For me this kind of distribution is plausible during phases when I’m really into a specific game. I’m 31, single, full time employed (which means 42 hours per week, or 8.4 a day, here in Switzerland).

I can see Biboo, Shiori and Nerissa, so it must be Hololive merch. Maybe it says “Holo Advent”, Advent is the name of the group those three are in.

I haven’t tried enough of the options to tell you that.

Personally I use Smooth Video Project anyway, so it’s conveniet to also use their SVPtube tool. It just wraps youtube-dl and provides a little GUI for it.

There are a bunch of other GUIs for youtube-dl too

The fundamental issue is that he’s looking for someone to provide a free service instead of for someone to provide free software.

The latter happens so much more often because it doesn’t create ongoing costs for the developer.

I wish him a happy brain aneurism.

It’s actually right in the name. Anarchy from an-arkhos means “without ruler”. They think hierarchies are illegitimate per se.

This surprised me too. But that was in 2012 😂
