The issue I have with GUI and wrapper tools on Linux is that I don’t know how they have implemented the standards, I know several tools that only deals with the basic stuff and leave you high and dry for the advanced stuff.
Which I feel is missing the point, if you have a gui it should support advanced stuff as well as the basic stuff, else you will train your self wrong, and have to unlearn a lot of crap
Eh, back in the Windows 7 days paying for Windows wasn’t that bad of a deal, but starting with Windows 10 it felt as if you were paying to get ads.
As for your last part, I am not a native english speaker, and my phone has two dictionaries, sometimes it picks the Swedish dictionary, sometimes it picks the English.
I have been in situations where the dictionary marks a word as being wrong and offers a suggestion, when I then pick the suggestion, that word is also marked as being wrong, and the original word is offered as a solution.
This can be rather annoying, and means that sometimes stuff like this slips through.
I mean yeah, I just wanted to laugh at him for not doing the minimum.
He used the Home version?
He owned his own island, he could at least go for Professional!
I remember Windows 7’s editions being a complete mess, but a come on!
Either ask your IT guy or your friend Billy G, both will laugh at you for picking a Home version when you have the money to go pro.
What a fucking loser.
Easy, take a spare phone set up a video call between that phone and your normal phone, leave the spare phone in the lightbulb room.
Go to the light switch room and start flipping switches while looking at your normal phone.
Fuck off YT, just own the fact that you caved to Microsofts demand, just be honest about it.
Sigh, please stop using that argument, it is an easy cop out, and you don’t actually help your cause by analyzing the real issue.
The real reason why people willingly use Windows is multifaceted and can be boiled down to a few points.
I am an IT technician, this is what I have seen in the corporate world.
By talking about “brainwashing” you remove most of the actual information that could help you figure out how Linux could be better suited for the masses, and to be frank, using a word like “brainwashing” makes the Linux community seem a bit unhinged/cultish.
Focus on facts, then you can use them to change the actual issue.
Has ubuntu started using DNF?
I maintain that nitrile gloves should be part of any functioning IT team’s toolbox.
Just avoid the back or powdered ones, they make screws very hard to see, I use green gloves from Ansell, or failing that purple gloves from Abena, the powder is just annoying.
Fans and pumps don’t have any moving parts any longer?
I leave my work machine on constantly, but am very careful and shut down my home machine when I go to bed.
It just feels wrong to leave it powered up.
It isn’t, it is the least bad
If that is the GZ version, what would the BZ2 and XZ versions look like
That is a very good practice, it is better than my suggestion as it eliminates potential error when copy pasting
I have used dd a few times without destroying my disk, here is my simple recommendation to stay safe:
DON’T TYPE THE COMMAND DIRECTLY INTO THE TERMINAL!
What I mean is that you should open a text editor, type the dd command you want to run in the editor, let it sit for 5 min, go back to the text editor, find the OF path, doublecheck and verify that it is safe.
Correct misstakes, wait another 5 min and do the check again.
Once you are confident that the command is accurate, copy paste it into a terminal and run it.
IBMs tabulation machines were never required for the functions of the death camps, but they vastly increased the speed and efficiency with which the Nazis were able to find and murder people through the death camps.
There are clear differences in countries where the census database were poorly implemented and those that had a well established census database before the Nazis invaded, in how many people the Nazis were able to find and murder.
Sounds actually quite nice, going from very high stress to low stress
I remember downloading and running random EXEs on my school’s NT4 machines.
There was a few joke programs, the one I remember right now, would make the start button jump around on the screen.
This was also around the time we all got on MSN Messenger, but us cool kids used an alternative client, Trillian, or later, Miranda IM.
A clear favorite of the time was the demo versions of Unreal Tournament 99 and Return To Castle Wolfenstein, both was easily installed, ran decent on the computer and had LAN multiplayer, there were a few impromptu LAN parties after school…
Later in my education I attended a trade school where I took networking classes.
Someone had snuck in a copy of Age Of Empires 2 on all machines in the lab, so we spent the days setting up a network, and after school was over, we gamed on it.
Brilliant fun!
This reminds me of a maths test I had when we had just been taught to calculate how many m2 an area was.
I seem to recall seeing an example of the formula where the answer was 2 m2, ok, looking at the test there was a question that had answer to be 6 m2, but me trying to be clever, though that the 2 in m2 represented the value of the answer, wrote 6 m6.
I failed that test…
No.
