Saw this years ago and honestly couldn't be more fitting today.

Fortunately platforms like docs are providing sufficient competition that I don’t think they’d be able to lock it down as effectively as they once could.

Bring your hate and downvotes. There will be 2 or 3 that understand the situation better than I, and I’m sure that will come and try to educate me.

So if you know this is the case, why would you not just do that research?

I understand the cost of living is very high, but there are numerous factors that play into that and specifically to the example of eggs the war in Ukraine wouldn't affect that supply chain in a significant way, and the aid also shouldn't impact it.

Providing aid, beyond preventing the war from being lost, potentially embolding Russia to continue advancing, is simply the right thing to do. Obviously Western nations have the privilege of being at peace, but that doesn't mean we should blindly turn our backs to the many countries who make our current situation possible through numerous imports and trade.

At the end of the day, you're entitled to be frustrated by the rising costs of living, and you're welcome to be angry about the war, but the way you worded your post feels more like willful ignorance than any real attempt to formally become educated.

I mean an Americano is just watered down espresso and AFAIK was coined to make fun of the Americans.

I was curious so found the story https://www.newschannel10.com/2024/09/26/tulia-family-displaced-after-home-suffers-substantial-damage-storm/

Just thinking at a high level, an infinite number of monkies should hypothetically almost instantly produce Shakespeare (or at least as quickly as they can type)

Conversely, 1 monkey would eventually produce it given infinity time.

I have this problem quite often, specifically I'll frequently decide I won't like something before I even try it, even if historically I've had enjoyment from it.

Often I just force myself to start, sometimes that's setting a line in the sand "I'm going to watch YouTube until 15:00 and then we're going to do X" other times is physically forcing myself (setting alarms, sleep timers, etc..)

I don't really have a magic bullet unfortunately beyond "Just do it" but honestly getting over the hump is 99% of the problem.

It's a small thing, but for me it's refusing to support them as much as I can. I don't use Disney+ and try not to buy merchandise from their IPs. Admittedly this is both difficult since they own so. many. things. while also being a drop in the bucket for such a large company, but if enough folks feel the same, it can move the needle a small amount.

I also shared this message out on all my platforms (that of their shady practices) which influenced at least a few people to say they were distancing themselves from the mouse.

Ultimately though, corporations will always do what is best for their shareholders, and in this case, that means doing anything possible not to pay out, PR nightmare be damned. Meaningful legislation is really the only thing that puts guard rails on this behaviour, so my last recommendation really comes down to being vocal with your representatives that these things matter and voting accordingly. I recognize again this is a small thing but on-mass action like this is how change happens.

My two cents at least.

I think that’s the thing that makes me irrationally angry, that the favour is assumed and he acts like a dick about it.

It does! It’s usually pretty good at figuring it ont to. Though I only use it with non-destructive commands

I don't see the problem?

The article clearly demonstrates how the web became unreadable with a handy diagram...

my guess is yes.

I’ve read this a few times and I’m genuinely not sure I understand what you’re saying.

4/6th is a smaller ratio than 5/6 the only way for 4/6 to be greater would be for the area to increase.

Expressed as percentages it would be 66% (approx) eaten vs 83% (approx) where the person that ate 66% ate more pizza. The only way that’s possible is if the area of the pizza that 66% of was consumed was greater. (Strictly speaking the volume could be at play here too but I’m going to assume they’re the same height for the question).

I genuinely don’t see any way his thinking was wrong, or how this could be answered another way.

I might genuinely be missing something but if so this question is poorly worded.

While a fair idea there are two issues with that even still - Hallucinations and the cost of running the models.

Unfortunately, it take significant compute resources to perform even simple responses, and these responses can be totally made up, but still made to look completely real. It's gotten much better sure, but blindly trusting these things (Which many people do) can have serious consequences.

On the support side, there are enterprise distros (red hat) but the community support honestly is top notch. I know windows has support but I’ve never really needed it day-to-day or had a situation where having access to support on Linux really would have been helpful.

Development side - I find Linux outpaces windows for what I do, plus a number of tools are just built in. Plus Jetbrains IDEs are Java anyway and run fine there.

Browsing, i assume you mean the web? This is functionally identical.

I personally like Linux cause it’s tracker-free and more customizable. I prefer ZSH to power shell and I like that my desktop and server are running the same platform preventing strange bugs between environments.

Double equals means equals, triple equals means strict equality including type.

Prevents a Boolean true being evaluated to 1 for example

Congrats on the wedding! :D

Billionaires (with a b as white says).

Quiet frankly millionaires (at least 7 figure earners) while not awesome are not nearly as predatory as those who’s net worth are represented in billions.

I mean this system makes so much more sense imho.

A random string of 9 numbers is hardly ID.

They meant better than what MS is doing. Basically Linux would be choice one, but failing that get a Mac. Until they go the same direction.
