as long as people are logging pertinent information sure. but I’ve had the misfortune of working with plenty of programs that return just an error code that means ‘something went wrong initialising subsystem X’ and left it all to the user to figure out what exactly went wrong, with files and where in those files etc. etc.

using nushell is my little rebellion against POSIX tyranny

i find that I have significantly less problems with heartburn when I remember to eat enough fiber. eating more veggies, pulses, wholegrain bread and fruit helps me a lot

if I don’t use android or iOS, I can’t use my banking apps, pay with my phone, access government services as they require an app to sign in, etc. it’s just not doable anymore for me

didn’t apple just get forced to enable side loading in the EU due to the DMA?

using irc is near outcast level? well damn…

I’ve been dual booting for ages without any windows-caused issues. is it windows 11 specifically that messes with dual booting or did I accidentally work around it by installing Linux to a separate ssd

nonconsensual mutilation of a person or body part

I feel like a strict reading of this rule would also put a lot of fighting games, shooters, horror games etc in the not approved category

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?

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 when 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 along with the app you want

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
