  • I don't know about upset.

    You refer to it as gnu/Linux, I won't be upset. I'll just slightly roll my eyes at your choosing to utter such an inconvenient word to make a point that doesn't really need to be made. But ultimately it's your breath that is being wasted not mine, so I don't really care.

    You start arguing about it, then it gets annoying because give it a rest. I am perfectly aware that gnu is a core part of the whole thing, I just don't think it matters that I verbally pay tribute to it every single time I mention Linux. One word is enough to let you know wtf I'm talking about 99.999999% of the time, so I'm not adding another one that's already implied basically always. Still not upset though.

  • Android has a "Ctrl+Z" feature, the keyboards just dont support it
  • Does the kernel even have that functionality built into it? I thought it only mapped the raw data from the keyboard into actual key presses, but nothing more. That is to say it's the kernel that determines the ctrl and z keys are being pressed, but it's something higher on the stack that determines what to do with that information. Could be wrong, though.

  • Pros / cons of riding a bike?
  • The sweat thing is important imo. I don't want to show up to work or school or whatever drenched in sweat. Sometimes it's too hot outside, or you have to ride against too strong a wind, or the terrain on your route is difficult. Either way you can easily arrive at your destination soaking wet. Unless you have an e-bike, there is no easy or convenient solution for that ç. A very real consideration that most certainly has made me not choose my bike on many occasions.

    While we're on the topic of wet, weather is also an important consideration. Keeping yourself protected against the rain on a bike is not easy.

  • Customer service
  • Maybe stop thinking everyone uses their phones as glorified forum browsers. I mean that's how I use mine, but I know for a fact there are plenty of people who expect plenty more from their shit.

  • Car
  • You seem to be imagining people HYAAAAAHHing their foot on the clutch pedal full force with bulging veins on their temples. It's just that you typically put quite a bit more force on that pedal compared to a brake pedal even if it's not exactly violent. It's slamming in relative terms.

  • That is not a weakness; That's life
  • He's allergic to that stuff. Otherwise he'd have done that with the ship more than that one time in that one episode, instead of wasting his life away tapping on a console like a filthy meatbag.

  • the fear of missing out a better compression
  • Yeah that's a rather important point that's conveniently left out too often. I routinely extract individual files out of large archives. Pretty easy and quick with zip, painfully slow and inefficient with (most) tarballs.

  • Schenker shows off a Linux laptop prototype with Snapdragon X Elite at Computex 2024
  • Keyboards have two layouts: a physical layout and a logical layout. The physical layout defines what the keyboard looks like, and the logical layout defines what signal each key sends to the computer. Qwerty is a logical layout, ISO and ANSI are physical layouts. Qwerty keyboards exist commonly in both ISO and ANSI layouts.

  • I'm writing this from a crappy laptop with 2GB of RAM and a dull screen.
  • It's the marketing. Always the marketing. Especially the SEO guys.

    One SEO guy we worked with told us not to cache our websites because he was convinced that it helped. He badgered us about it for weeks, showed us some bullshit graphs and whatever. One day we got fed up and told him we'd disabled the cache and he should keep an eye out for any improvements in traffic. Obviously we didn't actually do anything of the sort because we are not fucking idiots. Couple days later the SEO wizard sent us another bunch of figures and said "see, I told you it would help I know my stuff". He did not, in fact, know his stuff.

  • Dell display manager or substitute on Linux?

    Hello,

    I've just recently unpacked my new Dell P3421W monitor. I was like 80% sure there would be no Linux support for the proprietary piece of software that manages the monitor's features, because that sorta stuff is hardly ever built for Linux for some fucked up reason, but I figured I could use my macbook (for which there actually is support) or the monitor's own nipple menu to do stuff. Turns out the macbook version does not work properly on Apple silicon, and the nipple menu doesn't have all the things.

    I know it's a long shot, since google hasn't helped much, but would anyone here know if there's a way to go about it? Maybe there are existing tools?
