a lot of people are terrible writers, and as such, the idea that another user can actually write is offensive to them.

I worry you’re right, here; but only in brief episodes. I mostly want to assume otherwise.

I LOVE great writing: proper punctuation, good delineation, awareness of mass nouns, etc. I love when I see great writing and wish I could be as good.

I feel for people who don’t.

It cold be regional or arbitrary. I say ‘coding’ a lot because it’s shorter. I could say one is about the keyboard work and one is about the architecture and design, but it’s really the fact that one’s shorter.

But in my environment, they’re interchangeable as much as anything can be. And I’ve grown up using both; even in college in the '90s, coding C and m68k.

YMMV?

The YouTube clip “thank you, smokey” now plays like a journey of searching and reunion. It’s Romeo and Juliet, pretty much.

Yeah. Flouride consumption isn’t an issue, but fearing flouride despite the studies, that’s a red flag.

Since you can’t open the case and salvage much, engraving the case is a solid measure to confirm ownership.

Snipe-it failed iso27002 when I last checked.

1. Avoid anything with bad supply chains that fail iso27002
2. Yum via cron
3. Huh. That’s all of it.

Never trust a tech worker, they decided long ago to sell out the species and the planet.

As a tech worker, I resent that comment.

As someone who volunteered time over 20 years to maintain a well-used open-source project, I think your comment is a cheap generalization that shows remarkably low forethought.

As someone who knows what a comma splice is, though, I guess it’s all good.

The old one was also non-binary. Prove me wrong.

(Honestly, I just don’t care. Load the web page and render some JavaScript already)

Never tell the emacs haters why ctrl- and alt-stuff is just so familiar to the rest of us.

Just piggyback on the EU effort.

Butbutbut the name has ‘open’ in it. How can this be?

(I worked on OpenUnix and OpenLinux, so I get it)

IBS people hate this one weird trick?

It’s like you neither read the article, nor do you understand how software works.

That’s a bit of a reach.

I think the meme-ness here is shaky, but I for one will allow it.

stop, this

Stop calling me Stop.

I absolutely love the Apple 3.5mm wired earpods. I have several spare for when apple decides it’s bored of them and stops supply.

[TVs] rated for long continuous use

Or, what we used to just label “TVs”. The ones not rated for long continuous use should get a new name; perhaps “weak TVs”.

English as far as I know doesn’t even have a word in common usage for it.

Staling. One L.

In reality, it’s “gone soggy from humidity”. The plastic layer ‘preserves crispness’.

typically happens when you’ve switched users via su or sudo rather than logging in directly,

1. I wish typical scenarios were the only ones we had – it’d be a trivial solution.
2. This is a largely unmolested install because I don’t want to be debugging my desktop. If I had a point other than whingeing, here, that would be it: when the default, vanilla, least-tuned setup falls over on the regular, then it’s fundamentally a failure at its “you had one job” task.
