  • Orrrrrr, hear me out, just click once and get an online account because you don’t care.

    And yes, the command line is an issue to most regular users. My parents don’t grasp the concept of keyboard shortcuts for copying and pasting. I get a phone call every time they try to attach a file to an email, where they say the steps when they are doing it so they don’t fuck it up. If you use the computer to access a single webpage that’s bookmarked, youtube and ebay, maybe an hour every week at most, expecting them to have to learn a new system and a command line isn’t feasible. People like icons and clicking. If you managed to get rid of a keyboard and maintain functionality, they’d switch in a heartbeat. That’s why smartphones are so popular. That’s why kids preffer touchscreen over controller, and are basically unable to play keyboard and mouse anymore.





  • I’m working with my psych for years now and most we got is to get me to sleep relatively quickly. Mostly online / via phonecall. Recently suggested that it might be something else, like a deviated septum. He asked me “you obese?” I said yea. He asked “does your partner complain about you snoring?” I said “don’t have one, but previous one did”. Asked a bunch more followup questions. He then referred me to a sleep study clinic and wished me “to finally find someone who could tell you if you are breathing at night or not”. God damn, I could look for doctors for years and not find one as brutally honest / backhanded in compliments than him. Love it.


  • To be fair humans also have that. That’s the reason so many people wake up in the middle of the night. The most “natural” pattern is to sleep 4hrs, wake up for like an hour, and sleep four hours more. Then you get cursed people like me, who sleep for 12 and are still tired










  • Anyone who knows how software companies work knows the pattern. One dude wants to do something and pushes hard for it and things get done. Then they leave the company / get promoted / move to a different part of the company and there is no more will to do said thing. The people in the company have forgotten about linux support 200 times already, and saying something 10 years ago won’t change that. Make linux be something regular gamers want to run, get a double digit adoption rate, maybe they’ll revisit it
