with so many Windows programs being just PWAs these days, running everything in a browser is really no different anymore.

IT probably has tools to manage policy on Mac and Windows, but have not set anything up for Linux and as a result cannot manage your computer.

Good to know, I’ll check that out tonight, thanks!

I’ve been running Fedora for a few weeks and if I update it every time there’s updates available, I’d be rebooting nearly daily, because it insists on rebooting for “system packages”, where debian and even Arch based distros did not require restarts for most things… I’m not even using an immutable version of Fedora

You might correct one thing, but by the time you did that they already dug up three new pieces of garbage.

Gish Gallop

I’ve settled on soaps that don’t aggravate my psoriasis and have an agreeable scent. They do happen to be “men” soaps, but absent another option or if I’m not at home, then I was with what’s available.

The only exception is my beard wash/oil/balm. I bring that shit with me.

Something like this is useful as well if you have a large item to convert since you can offload that processing to your server/NAS and not have it bog down your PC/phone/etc

Vehicles have their own modems now

c/askouija style, top level comment is the clue and number of letters, ouija provides the response

If your company uses some sort of code checking tool on PRs, there may be a requirement that all functions have a docstring, even if it’s obvious what it’s doing. Leads to silly comments like this quite often

Wasn’t it helldivers 2 that region-locked people months after release?

No arguments there, if you’re gonna depend on a piece of code, you better own it or have a rock solid plan b.

left-pad was the first thing that came to mind for me

Pay went down? Rent still go up

Roblox is about the only reason why I can’t switch my kid’s computer to Linux, they play almost exclusively that and Minecraft. Once win10 goes EOL, I’ll probably start budgeting to replace my laptop with a new PC and give them the laptop. The old PC will then get Linux and handle 3d printer stuffs

And the rich aren’t because they have the time and resources to be healthy

yeah, usually closing time is just buffer time for people to get their affairs in order, move out, inspections, lawyer stuff, etc. If you offer straight up cash and pay a boatload to the lawyers to get the paperwork done up ASAP, you can close likely within a couple weeks

Yes, your total energy consumption drops, but your electricity consumption rises as a result. Electrification of stuff that relied on burning fossil fuels means that electricity consumption goes up even while total energy consumption stays the same or drops. I’m not necessarily saying that nuclear is the solution, but it’s a solution that can at least buy us a few decades for renewables and energy storage to catch up to demand.

Not to mention, who is in control of making the tests? Mental health/aptitude tests have had a history of being at least a little bit racist, kinda like the old ‘intelligence’ tests that were designed to prevent black people from voting.
