I like Budgie. It looks nice, lightweight, and doesn’t get in the way. There’s a few missing features but I like that it’s a smaller community project.

There’s so much irony in this comment it cured my anemia

WebOS is such a sad story. It started as a pretty innovative and interesting mobile OS at a time when phone manufacturers bothered to innovate. Then it ended up being owned by the grossest software company ever, HPE, and now it’s a pathetically crappy TV operating system. What is LG even doing?

The Intellij plugin ecosystem is pretty good. Granted my day job is 80% Java/Kotlin but I also need python and ruby and go and the plug-ins have never let me down. I don’t have pycharm or Ruby Mine or Goland installed.

The license also explicitly lets you use your work license for personal stuff or your personal license for work stuff. The only difference is who pays. You also don’t need a license to use the community edition.

It’s also pretty good at CSV and markdown files. I might be biased because I spend probably 60 hours a week using Intellij but I don’t find any of your points against it to be accurate.

This is the way if you never want to feel like anything is windowsy

Nothing really. Kate does a lot of stuff. If you’re not a software developer, it doesn’t really matter. Different text editors have differing levels of support for various programming languages and some people like all the key bindings so they don’t have to take their hands off the mouse.

But if you’re just editing plain text and you’re not a keyboard only kind of user, it doesn’t really matter.

News hysteria created feedback loops that drove a lot of shortages. At first, people are stocking up more than they would before because things are weird. Similar to a hurricane or blizzard. The news started reporting shelves were EMPTY and you probably are never going to get toilet paper again. People start panic buying because they’re scared. Or because they think they can take advantage of the situation and make money. This drives more news stories about shortages which drives even more fear and panic buying.

Probably Covid related supply chain issues factor in as well. I’m somewhat skeptical it was the main driver since the problem seemed to go away as soon as the grocery store started limiting how much an individual could buy.

Wow, that was a lot more insightful than I expected

So we won’t decompose or stick to things. Where’s the downside?

The reality is that all 3 are full of micro plastics. And there’s some overlap in the Teflon lead generation. And non stick material is still not all that great.

Really, the only problem we’ve solved kinda is lead, unless you’re poor.

One is just running a command and exiting. They seem to be using a separate container for sync storage and token storage. Not sure what those are but is likely set up this way for scaling. This could probably be pretty easily worked in to one container with a start up script that runs that SQL command. The overhead of running multiple Mariadb containers isn’t that much though so it probably doesn’t matter much.

The hop part is a bit more interesting. The strong beers of the time weren’t enough to keep the beer from getting infected. However, hops are a natural preservative. The oils have antibiotic properties. They were initially used as a preservative for weak British ales and the taste was a side effect but not necessarily the desired effect. When they had trouble shipping their beers across the world, they would pack the beer full of hops so it would make the trip. Eventually, Brits in India developed a taste for the bitter beer that was shipped to them and a beer style was born.

I’ve used Linux since the 90s and I’ve never installed a flat pack or snap or whatever. They’re not required.

Software defined radios are kinda a stretch. The radio hardware isn’t running Linux. There’s a receiver that converts the signal to digital and then a Linux computer processes the signal. Basically the exact same thing as my computer having a radio receiver plugged in to it but packaged up as a standalone thing. If that counts, my keyboard runs Linux.

You can’t build a gaming mac. Or a mac at all. Apple does seem to have better gaming support than Linux does though. The majority of my steam library has macOS support. Only a couple support Linux.

It seems like a nice one-two punch of Microsoft shitting the bed with Windows 11 at the same time Valve is taking big strides towards making Linux a viable option for gaming. I don’t think you would see this if either happened in isolation.

I didn’t know Jerry Stiller was dead. He was one of the funniest people to be on television.

The title OP gave the post makes it seem like the companies in the image are still doing business in Russia but I’m pretty sure all the companies in the image are the ones who left. There’s a few comments that are confused about it.

I doubt it was intentional or malicious but it is misleading at a glance.

I live in a small town next to a giant pile of gravel lol It’s probably not free. In my case, the owner of the property was planning on putting in a gravel driveway to a old house he was going to fix up but then never did. It’s been abandoned for years, no idea what’s going on now. But he owns the gravel and taking it would be theft. Although I could probably get away with it if I was in a desperate gravel situation.
