Yeah but to me it’s insane that public people that have publicists or companies that have communications staff simply don’t cross post to multiple sites.

Sure for a regular person that’s a lot of work to do when just posting a random thought. But for someone who’s job involves posting things to social media? Most of the work is coming up with the copy. Once that’s done it’s just copying and pasting to different sites.

Well it learned to put glue on pizza, eat rocks, and smoke while pregnant.

It’s happening with Amazon now.

Wheels are in motion on anti-monopoly, but it’s a major societal shift and that takes time. Time and not electing billionaires to public office. A democracy isn’t going to build up momentum to do anything about the unchecked power of billionaires if around half the population is voting for billionaires.

The power usage wouldn’t be a problem if the electricity were generated in a green way.

If only the energy sector had a workforce experienced in building offshore structures that could build offshore wind farms. And maybe a workforce that had experience in drilling that could develop geothermal energy.

Of course we also need an energy sector that had a lot of financial resources to put into these kinds of investments.

If only the energy sector had these kinds of resources, a big sphere drawing a lot of electricity wouldn’t be a problem.

Many Palestinian protests have people cosplaying Hamas and waving Hamas flags.

Hanging out with people that like to dress up as a member of a group that wants to kill Jews makes someone a little antisemitic I think.

Denying that there’s an antisemitism problem in the Palestinian movement doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. In fact that’s the sort of attitude that allows it to persist.

I do use it occasionally, but I gotta google for the command every time. So not exactly learning it.

It’s one of those things wher eI’m sure it’s fine if you learn it. But it’s not DOS CMD, but also not bash.

So instead of improving CMD to have more features or just going all the way and offering an official bash implementation, they want me to learn a third thing. Just don’t have time for it.

Yup. And you can kill processes in Windows to in the task manager. Or probably with a Powershell command too, but nobody’s gonna learn Powershell LOL.

There’s nearly always equivalent functions in both Linux and Windows, just in Windows you gotta click around in more bullshit forms and shit to find stuff. Or learn Powershell, but again, LOL. They are both OSes after all, they do similar things. Just one might do them better than the other.

The world is changed: I feel it in the water, I feel it in the earth, I smell it in the air… Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. Thusly the government of Gondor shall not excise a tax upon my pouch of gold for their statutes shall not apply to my person henceforth.

For some reason I’m picturing the elves as white trash sovereign citizen types refusing to pay their taxes.

As they fade away… “The flag of Gondor doesn’t have a gold fringe on it and you didn’t write my name in all capitals at a 45 degree angle in red ink therefore this court doesn’t have the authority to…” poof!

Yeah it’s just being angry about the fact that the Earth is rotating ball. Wanting to abolish timezones is different from Flat Earth only be degrees.

Sure the “what time is it there?” question goes away, but it’s replaced by “what are your business hours?”

Ultimately it will be daytime in one part of the world while it’s night in another part of the world. That will always cause problems.

This is actually the best approach.

Obviously they are getting timezone information otherwise the app could only display whatever time the user entered in.

If you want to sort things by the actual time, it’s simple and performant if all of the times are in the same timezone, and UTC would be the standard one to use. Pushing the timezone calculations to the client makes sense because the UTC time is correct, it’s just a matter of displaying it in a user friendly way, ie. show the time in the user’s timezone.

Yeah if it were about security they’d check the version of HTTPS, SSL, TLS and all that stuff.

you told me to doubt the tings I read on the internet. Id I didn’t doubt what you’re saying, that would be contrarian.

Ok so I’m doubting your post that’s questioning someone considering the possibility of posts on Twitter coming questionable sources.

But how do I know you aren’t manipulating me with what you’re saying?

I’m not the guy you replied to, but MS fonts are kinda free to download. Not free enough they can just put them into a package but there’s a defined method for downloading them. Most distros have a package that will automatically do this. On Debian it’s ttf-mscorefonts-installer which will download the fonts and install them when it gets to the configuration part of the package install. You can probably search for a similar package for your distro.

Key bindings and a good GUI aren’t mutually exclusive.

Key bindings are great for people that use the app a lot and want to be more efficient at the tasks they do most often in it. But most people aren’t going to be learning keyboard shortcuts the first time they use an app. And if someone uses an app a few times and find it frustrating to use, they never use it enough to want to learn keyboard shortcuts to improve their efficiency with the app.

So you open any other image editor, click the rectangle select button, draw a rectangle, then select a move button beside the rectangle select tool, then it moves the rectangle you just selected and you think “That’s fucking stupid, it should’ve moved the entire image, not the rectangle I just selected!”

Really?

It’s inevitable.

But if steam becomes enshittified I’ll move onto something else and use torrent sites to download the older games I care about that I’ve bought on steam. It wouldn’t really be pirating them, since I’ve bought them already.

For now steam is fine, and I appreciate the work they’ve done on supporting Linux, so I’ll keep on using it to buy games.
