If only the person who drafted the clause was struck down by the parliamentarian.

I was in college at that time and was a typical “centrist” and counter protested. I’ve changed at lot since then.

What is the “it” that you think got left behind?

You’re taking about bringing a man of control and order into that den of chaos and goblinry? I don’t think Alec would enjoy it.

They are probably scanning for the binary file executable.

Dropping the Windows tax means being able to offer computers for cheaper prices, which is attractive to consumers. Several companies are offering Linux these days.

Linux is still not ready for mainstream consumers

Jorge Castro of Universal Blue likes to say that the average person doesn’t install operating systems, and I fully agree with him.

People rock what comes installed on their computer. Anyone who installs an OS them self is not an average user.

I think we’ll see the average user start to choose Linux as more and more manufacturers ditch the Windows tax and ship computers with Linux.

I had win 8.1 for a long while. It really wasn’t bad. Win 11 is what finally pushed me away from Windows.

Comments shouldn’t explain code. Code should explain code by being readable.

Comments are for whys. Why is the code doing the things it’s doing. Why is the code doing this strange thing here. Why does a thing need to be in this order. Why do I need to store this value here.

Stuff like that.

Streets ahead

That was one of the things that drove me away from Windows. Coming to my desk in the morning to see my computer on not sleeping because it woke up to apply updates or some other shit pissed me off.

Just one of the many ways that with Windows, my computer didn’t feel like I was in control of it anymore.

With Linux, I’m in complete control and it feels so good. Also knowing that I’m not giving out data just by using my computer is great. And FOSS is just cool.

I was gonna say… Labeling TYT as left these days is a bit of a stretch.

You’ve only cut out the roaster, which does nothing to solve your supply issues.

I agree. HDD to SSD was a huge leap. NVME was a small, sometimes noticable upgrade. Past that, I can’t tell a difference. And it’s hard to get excited about the hardware updates when the software can’t use it.

I have never once been about to tell a real world difference in SSD speeds. Until OS I/O code improves, faster SSDs don’t excite me.

I don’t get that at all. To me it feels like there’s so much progress happening right now.

COVID really did destroy the flow of time for me.

Didn’t be so hard on yourself. You can also pester us about the status of Jira tickets.

That picture makes him look like an alien from Mars Attacks.

To me, going and picking up food IS the lazy option. I refuse to be lazier than that. I mean, that’s not true. If delivery was free, I’d use it.
