Thanks for the suggestion, I do find this to be annoying in other communities, but as you said it doesn’t seem to be a big issue here at present.

I intend to leave this post pinned for quite a while so that I can try to get a good idea of the general consensus of the community on the suggestions, so if it looks like most feel this is needed as time goes on then I would be glad to implement it.

I certainly agree and thank you, no worries.

Sounds good to me and by the looks of things I believe you are right.

Thanks!

Really glad to see that, it hasn’t been great since covid first showed up. Hopefully this trend continues.

Your account says you joined 2 months ago so unless it’s an alt account, you haven’t really been here a very long time which probably plays into it. Furthermore are you actually looking for anything creative or unique? It looks like you have primarily just hopped around on technology communities. I would recommend browsing for communities that have more creativity and subjectivity to offer.

Man, the business representative had so many opportunities to fix their fuck up and did nothing. Certainly a microcosm of larger issues though.

Yea you need a Kananaskis pass to go over there.

Clearly not IPV4.

I switched due to the following problems with Windows and benefits with Linux:

• Recall, the most privacy invasive software I have ever seen being spun as a “feature” which was shown to be insecure as well. It used to be that if you didn’t pay for something, it meant you were the product. Now Microsoft wants you to pay them to be their product.
• Fucking ads everywhere in the OS itself
• It’s slow as all hell
• I would try to do something as simple in the UI such as hitting “Sleep” and Windows 11 wouldn’t do anything until the 4th click
• Windows no longer has a monopoly on games or music software - proton and DAW’s like bitwig should now be forcing Microsoft to compete to make their OS better, but because capitalism doesn’t work, they don’t, and so I have no reason to stay with their OS
• Linux is fast as fuck. Games like Armored Core VI and Death Stranding run better in an emulated state on Linux for me than they do natively on Windows because Linux isn’t running 1500 telemetry tasks at all times.
• Linux gives you choices of window managers. Don’t like the UI in Windows? Tough luck. Don’t like a UI in Linux? Change it in 2 seconds if you’re using KDE Plasma, or switch to another WM like Gnome, XFCE, Cinnamon, etc so that the computer works the way you want. You want to have some WM functionality only sometimes that no one WM offers? Install 3 WM’s, choose which one you want when you log in. Make the computer work for you.

On Windows 11 the final absolute last straw for me was when it stopped installing updates for me and gave me this:

So I couldn’t even trust the system was secure anymore.

Windows is stagnated because all of their development focus has turned away from making a competitive OS with good and useful features for the end user, and instead focuses now on how to get more dollars out of each minor action a user could possibly take when using it. Linux just feels more modern, more powerful, more useful, more secure, faster, prettier, cleaner, and cost effective than Windows now because it is 98% of the time.

Depends on the bear. Black bears this can work, but if they attack you anyway you have to fight for your life or you are dead since they will keep attacking their prey until they are certain its dead.

Grizzlies… Be quiet and calm and talk in a low voice, also do not run if possible, if you run they will think you are prey. If they attack you, ball up, protect your neck and head, fight as well if you really have no other option. Making yourself seem big and scary isn’t very effective with them.

Polar bear, you’re just fucking dead.

For all of them, carry bear bangers and or bear spray.

The value of a human being.

Furthermore, I thought that they were supposed to be a temporary instance for the reddit influx as well.

Here in Canada we have had tariffs on other countries dairy products since the 70’s in order to protect the Canadian dairy industry and set specific standards for the products of it. There is a cap for importers where if they only bring in small amounts of dairy, the tariff is about 7.5%, but if it exceeds a certain amount, the tariffs do skyrocket to between 241% and 300%.

If you switch DAWs, bitwig is really very good and runs natively on Linux.

Economy doesn’t benefit you presently unfortunately.

Somehow before shit really hit the fan I was able to land a non developer role at a software company which only asks you to come in twice a week. Looking to move into development at the company, but from the outside software Dev roles are super flooded with applicants right now.

Whatever you do, your chances for remote work are better if you get in with a small company of 10 to 20 people.

Yea, the drying out of the skin with the alcohol reduces the amount of blood, but there is always going to be some. Cutting straight across is a very good way to avoid future issues as well.

Yep, pretty sure you are right.

Execute the previous command as root

Fun fact if you are using bash, !! will evaluate to the previous command, so if you miss sudo on some long command, you can also just do sudo !!.
