most of his comments I completely understand, but saying process manager ‘looks a bit low-rent’ tells me absolutely nothing other than that you personally don’t like the look.
also, complaining about not having a consistent way to install apps is a bit rich wheh coming from a desktop where the best way is still to just find the app website, download the installer and click through an inconsistent installer that might be trying to add ad- or spyware alojg with yue app you wany
who makes a list of pizza styles and leaves off Neapolitan?

I don’t think anybody got from your comments that you’re pro trump
frankly, I think you are mistaken about what it means to be political. It isn’t strictly about one party vs another. you can talk about politics without explicitly supporting or disliking a political party.
being political at the core is about policy.
and this is why star wars was political from the start. it wasn’t just a cool story, it was meant in part to make you sympathise with the rebels, and dislike the empire. And crucially, to link the rebels to Vietnam and the empire with the US and Nixon. it shows a dislike of what the US was doing, what the party in charge was doing, and perhaps to turn people away from that.
saying all that isn’t political is like saying Bob Dylan wasn’t political because he didn’t support one or another party

same for Europeans in America, we would think all your bike lanes are forbidden for bikes
your defaultism is showing. In fact most of the world uses a white sign with red border to mean a prohibition.
and in fact children need to be taught what traffic signs mean all over the world, they don’t magically know it
I distinctly remember early Facebook and its predecessors being filled with red-eye pictures
was about to complain this wasn’t an option. thanks for doing the lord’s work
hard disagree about the permissions. If I want to run closed source programs like games, discord, zoom or whatever, I like knowing they can’t log all my keys, take screenshots or even run their own version of windows recall without my explicit permission
If the point of Lemmy is just to generate as many comments as possible with everyone just assuming whatever they want about linked articles without reading them I’ll quickly leave again. I’m here for informed discussion, not for a competition in generating engagement
except for c++ it was just to avoid a single function call, not extra indirection. also on modern compilers size() will get inlined and ultimate instructions generated by the compiler will likely be the same
why comment if you don’t even want to read the article? python lists are not linked lists, they’re contiguous with a smart growth strategy.
good thing about the terminal is it scares most general users so much that they won’t touch it even with instructions. There will be many issues, but I don’t think people running random commands in the terminal will be common
yep, I’ve been discovering the virtues of low-alcohol beer. perhaps they had it right in the middle ages with small beer
the problem is that there’s people out there who in the analogy don’t know how to drive a car, defend it by saying ‘I’m just not a car person’, and constantly ask to be driven around when a major part of their job is driving a car. somehow when it comes to computers employers tolerate this
well, its possible to check if a rust equivalent would be riddled with raw pointers: just check the Servo code base.
personally I think its a good thing to have another browser implementation, regardless of specific choices they make about language or license
you could have progressive taxes on wealth as well. there’s a difference between having one house worth 500k and having 500 million in shares
I’m not following, do you need the bitlocker key when Linux is on a separate disk? is there something extra you need to keep in mind compared to just running windows?
