CTRL-tilde or CTRL-backtick?

Only office is basically the same interface again, all cloning MS-office 2007-2010.

Bleach.

Because it’s a common phrase and because one can accept that people have a name for their deity even if you believe that deity doesn’t really exist.

you subscribe to a belief wholeheartedly, even a crazy one, to the point where youd rather die than question it.

That’s what I said too, which is to say that the point is not the killing but the unquestioning nature of it.

It’d be so much better if that authoritarian fifth would drink the flavor-aid in the sense of killing themselves.

It actually works, without a bunch of insane weird behavior.

That’s not the point of the phrase — the statement refers to the true believers drinking poison unquestioningly, without entertaining the thought that it will kill them.

There are, but “long haul routes” are definitely better for a train.

What an incredibly infuriating waste of effort that would be so much better spent on trains, driverless or otherwise.

As a sometimes Windows admin, I completely agree. Plus so many things that become simple one-liners instead of taking forever farting around in a GUI tool where a little misclick screws up everything and documentation requires 27 pages of giant screenshots.

That’s good to know. It’s interesting that the other commenter thinks emacs shortcuts are illogical. I’ll make my best guesses at the logic

• ctrl-a/ctrl-e for start/end of line

a is the beginning of the alphabet; e for end (of line)

• ctrl-u to clear the command you’ve typed so far but store it into a temporary pastebuffer
• ctrl-y to paste the ctrl-u’d command

No idea here. Seems similar to nano with k-“cut” and u-”uncut”.

• ctrl-w to delete by word

w for word obviously.

• ctrl-r to search your command history
• alt-b/alt-f to move cursor back/forwards by word

r reverse, b back, f forward. Not sure why alt vs control though; presumably ctrl+b and ctrl+f do different things although I know emacs likes to use Alt (“Meta”) a lot.

If you or someone you know wants a taste of that experience on Windows, try out winget or chocolatey.

Why the hell did they misspell (and presumably mispronounce) tilde?

I’ll remember that in case I drop it into a boiler.

Eager but tentative?

Usually tentative means they are not so eager.

What’s with that disaster of colorized text?

I’d say it’s both, yeah.

But also user demand partly drives what the employer provides, and some people really like those k-cups.

They use k-cups so being inconsiderate is a given.

If they sound different they’re not lossless. (Or they’re different masters)

I’m with you on the “FOSS office alternatives are shit”, but unfortunately MS office is also shit. Google is the closest I have found to a good office suite but even that is becoming a bit chaotic and awkward. LyX is a promising word processor but also pretty awkward to use in its own way. I’ve got nothing, there.

As far as gaming, this sound less kind than intended but you deserve any shit you get for saying Linux gaming is bad these days. Apart from a few AAA games with anti-cheat where the devs just don’t want to, basically every game just works without any extra effort. Even obscure indie games. I can’t think of the last game I wanted to play that didn’t run on Linux, and often it is better under proton than Windows or native.

Anyone know of anyone else with the same level of turnkey NAS solution? I liked synology for its lack of having to fuck around with random bullshit.
