Just because it’s better than windows doesn’t make it good
I know a lot of people like macOS, and I'm sure they get a lot done with it. For me however, it's easily my least favorite popular OS. That's even considering the terminal running zsh by default, which is miles ahead of Windows.
A quirk that recently bit us at work is that Safari has a maximum allowed version based off your OS version. Now if it was just me as a user, I'd download a 3rd party browser. However, as a developer, I have to build solutions that work for every "reasonable" browser. This means I can't use features that every modern browser has, including Safari, because Safari from 4 years ago didn't have it.

By voting for blatant corruption instead? And tax cuts for the rich is not a policy representing the working class.

I can't tell if you're joking or if I misunderstood what you wrote.
It's remove (rm) recursively (allow removing folders) (-r) and "force" (don't prompt for confirmation, e.g. when removing write protected files) (-f) everything in the root folder (/*)
With -r and -f getting combined into -rf of course.

Costs Less? When That Happened?

If they're (Patreon) eating 30%, wouldn't they lose money per transaction? I assume they take less than 30% of each subscription currently.

What's the cheapest online storage that you know of?

I'm kind of curious why you don't just buy a HDD or two. At $600 a year you'd break even really quickly.

Yeah, thankfully I never had to develop with IE in mind. Though I have heard a lot of people dislike it for that reason.
You're totally right about that being a benefit to everyone moving to chromium. Thankfully Firefox has kept pretty up to date with new features/standards too.

Thanks for the callout! We actually use browerstack too, but only for exceptions like that one. It's not part of our typical process. Really cool software

Don't forget Morrowind where you could enchant your gear to give you a permanent 100% chameleon. Good times.

RedReader on mobile still works. You can find it in the fdroid app store. There's also rtv for a terminal reddit client on the desktop.

I've had issues with add-ons on some sites too. For those times I just use a different Firefox profile (each has its own set of add-ons and settings :D)

Maybe it was just me, but I found VSCode's undo/redo vim trees (u/r) to be kind of awkward when compared to real vim.

Refurbishing an old ThinkPad for a friend -- Debian, Fedora or something else?

Is it possible the rough edges of Trisquel would turn OP's friend off of Linux as a whole?

Reply in thread
I completely agree. But most people don't see how significant free software is (e.g., OP's friend is using Windows). If a libre system means a worse experience for the user, many won't care enough to stick with it.
Linux with proprietary software is at least a step in the right direction; I agree that it's not the final destination though.

Thanks for introducing me to this song, I like it a lot! I can't really think of a song like that, but most of the time I'm just treating the vocals as another instrument and not paying too much attention to the lyrics.
