I think everything’s delayed, rather than weekly releases, but I’m not 100% sure. Either way, in theory this gives them more time to catch any major bugs and hold those packages, though in practice I don’t believe that happens much at all considering how short the delay is.
You make some good points - I don’t think anyone can reasonably argue linux is in a state where a ‘regular’ user will find it more productive than windows. But, statements like these make as many assumptions about an individual’s use case and workflow as saying ‘everyone should use linux because xyz’:
If you live in a bubble where you don’t have to collaborate with anyone else
There are annoyances from time to time, sure, but they’re way fewer and simpler to deal with than the hoops you’ve to go through to get a minimal and viable/productive desktop experience on Linux
If you buy a Windows license and spend the time you would’ve spent dealing with Linux compatibility issues doing your actual job you’ll, most likely, get a better ROI.
Again, it’s certainly not reasonable to say linux is universally (or even generally) better for productivity. But neither is it reasonable to say it always isn’t. Operating systems are tools, which one to use depends entirely on the situation.
The biggest reason is instability - packages in its main repo are held back two weeks, while the same isn’t true of anything from the AUR, meaning potential dependency version mismatch. It’s kinda rare for this to be an issue, but it happens enough to make it a subpar choice for long-term usage. More info here
Error 404: Costume Not Found is a classic.
Quality of output depends a lot on how common the code is in its training data. I would guess it’d be best at something like Python, with its wealth of teaching materials and examples out there.
Titles like this annoy me. If you have something interesting to say - which is the case here - say what it is. No need to obfuscate the topic. It wastes time for everyone.
Anyway, it’s kinda hilarious that the only way to make a proper circle in PDFs is with line caps. What a bizarre format. I hope it’s succeeded by something better sooner rather than later, I can’t think of any time they haven’t been a pain to work with.
I’m surprised there aren’t more distros that come packaged with it. If someone’s used a graphical text editor in the past decade, then they know how to use micro. The only distro I know of that has it by default is Garuda.
I was referring to the unnecessary header text on the sidebar, squeezing everything else up there. I am aware there are different display modes lol
Well the dark mode screenshot makes less efficient use of space so it must be the modern one.
I don’t mean to imply anything magical about it, just thought I’d mention that it has some legitimate benefits beyond placebo for anyone unaware! The site linked above has all the information I was talking about, and cites the source studies too.
I hate this so much. People should be free to act like they want (as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone), because why the hell not? What’s so objectively better about acting in the ‘normal’ way? But everything outside the very narrow idea of normal is treated like a problem by default.
I have some tics that come out when I’m alone that I’ve filtered out around others as long as I can remember, and honestly I think that’s part of why I feel so claustrophobic in social situations. I don’t even know how to act like ‘myself’ in public if I want to.
Seeing people being themselves regardless of how it looks to the current typical sensibilities is the only thing that lets me feel like I might be able to do the same. So fwiw, every little bit of rule breaking you have done or will do makes the world a little better for me, and anyone else who doesn’t feel welcome. Thanks.
Not just a placebo! At least when made with a proper bone broth. There have been some studies showing it has anti-inflammatory properties, not to mention all the great nutrients it has! (source)
You’ve never read the book in question… Because you think it’s filled with gut feelings and anecdotes… Which you know, because of gut feelings and anecdotes…
You’d rather not have the tools at all than use them through a CLI?
I believe in you Budgie! You can do it!
That or holding ctrl. Or dragging and selecting with a box.
I like this idea a lot! If/when you make a community for coordinating I’d love to be a part of it.
Fwiw it does have a ‘Lite’ edition that doesn’t include any theming.
I find myself saying this one a lot. When I feel like I’m putting in effort and the other person won’t meet me in the middle something like this always seems to slip out, but I hate how passive aggressive it is.
Reframing it so ‘the problem’ is the problem rather than the person is a good idea. Helps with communication, and if it can be internalized, it seems like a better way to think about the conflict too.
