Torrenting in a café? Get Mullvad and stop complaining.

The average user is pretty unaffected

The average user complains about Windows all the time around me and I have to fix their crap constantly. It is fucking over their daily life, either by preventing them from working or by swallowing their files into a black hole. Windows users at work don’t care about it, but around me when it’s their personal computer, it’s a disaster.

switching would require not only learning one new thing, but a large number of new things

Any Ubuntu from 10 years ago is identical to the latest Windows. It’s laziness, fear, or being hostage, but it’s certainly not learning something new. Also, Windows 11 is completely different from the previous versions and it didn’t seem to bother them.

People say Stockholm syndrome is fake, but when I see Windows users, I know it’s real. They have been suffering for years and never thought once about alternatives like Ubuntu.

“Oh Linux is too complicated, I can’t do that.” Yeah, you can’t click on Firefox to open Firefox, or LibreOffice to write a document. That’s too hard.

To rant a bit, the last time I helped my parents, I removed every icon from their desktop and installed Firefox with uBlock Origin. Only Firefox on the desktop, it was idiot proof. When I came back, Firefox had disappeared and on the desktop I saw: Edge, 2 copies of Chrome with the most scummy plugins ever, and one Chrome fork that came from an adware that they purposefully installed (WTF). I told them that they had a virus, and that from now on I wouldn’t help them anymore. They like to suffer, I let them.

Over-engineered. Too many moving parts. Refactor

Why would a manager give his opinion on code?

It happens all the time with me, I see it as a blessing.

I’m interested to know why it’s done like that. It seems awful. Do you have some SCM like git? Do you have restrictions like working for the army? So many questions.

I’m asking because I’ve seen that a lot in the past and it was always due to bad practices that no one wanted or could change.

I know nothing about that game, but sometimes the tools suck big time, the companies who sell it are lying, and everyone is suffering from it.

Artifactory is mandatory in some industries because it will keep all the versions of the images forever so that you can build your projects reliably without an internet connction.

It’s very illegal in Fance to download without paying, and I guess it’s the same in a lot of other countries.

Thanks, I understand better. It’s difficult to block accounts posting crap on issues and MRs using their “legit” account. It reminds me that I wanted to subscribe to the Codeberg association and give them money. Now is the time to do this.

Post the hate speech. Was it some notification? How did it happen? MR or something?

My Mullvad account begs to differ. And it makes my banker happy!

It’s a torrent client with an integrated retroarch? I don’t get it.

I’m paying

straight up taking money

lol, where can I find this magical money?

I’m late to the party since it is a well-known site but rutracker is quite good for FLAC content.

Unironically yes and it may be a fun conversation. But you may end up being hired as a toxic middle-manager with that experience.

Thanks.

Telegram: we respect privacy, except we don’t, we have our own shitty cryptographic algorithm and your key, and anyone can shut us down.

I’ve heard good things about rutracker though, thanks for the reminder.

You have a literal video-taped proof that it’s Nazi USA and you talk about gossip?

That makes no sense. Define pirated AI first.
