Also depends on your variant of English, because North American Biscuits are very different from the rest of the anglophone world’s biscuits. Many of them are unleavened, just as most gods don’t have a strong position on whether you should use leavening at any time of the year, let alone now.

Windows will never come close to replacing Linux! There’s way more Linux out there than there is Windows.
Presumably you mean on the personal desktop. In which case I still disagree in the very long term. I think at some point Windows will be replaced by *nix based systems in the vein of OSX and Chrome OS.
Wow. .08 is ridiculously lax IMO. I agree punishments should scale by inebriation level but I never expected people to think .08 was too strict.
Coupling is a fucking gem. I’ve still never been able to bring myself to watch the final season that has no Geoff though.
ironically, I think whining about anticipated downvotes for expressing the most mainstream sentiment is worthy of downvotes
Git’s unconventional and decentralized design—nowadays ubiquitous and seemingly obvious—was revolutionary at the time,
Of course, there’s more innovation in git than being DVC but the decentralized nature wasn’t revolutionary.
It was funny when I started using bzr and then git, I kept being told “it’s a DVC, which is a different way to work that takes some getting used to”, and I was puzzled as it felt very familiar to me. Then I looked up DVCs and found out that Sun’s Teamware that I’d used for a decade was also a DVC. It was actually a return to familiar and comfortable workflows after a brief period using abominations like Perforce and Clearcase. I’m so glad they’ve been largely replaced. Git may not be perfect, but it’s better than those in any use cases I have had.
But then you have to eat Tillamook cheese… I has no idea cheese could be so bland before I moved to the NW USA. And orange, for some reason.
I thought it was stating that something is God’s will for your own purposes. AFAIK it’s not just using terms for God as a curse.
I’ve used ThinkPads for ages and it’s very true they have become more and more ordinary as the years go by, but I recently got given a high spec Dell for a new job and it’s been very disappointing. In particular the keyboard is terrible to the point that on business trips I bring an external keyboard with me. I also sorely miss a trackpoint, but to many people that is not an issue.
I was also surprised that I miss the ThinkPad ability to open up 180°.
Though if you’re good with using Ubuntu then new ThinkPads and Dells and some others generally work well as you get the enablement patches before they’ve rippled through to the mainline kennel. However you still often have a happier time waiting for others to iron out the kinks, not to mention better hardware prices by getting clear out deals for outgoing generations.
After years of ThinkPads I joined a company that gave me a Dell Inspiron and I am unimpressed in various minor ways. Crap keyboard is the big one.
Yes it’s trivial to host a repo, and then you have achieved approximately 2% of a forge.
Gnome’s was very inferior last I looked. No brightness factor and it was sunset or fixed time.
Sharing your work without cost to people who need it is pretty solidly left. But it certainly isn’t red vs blue, not least because party political colors vary by country and in the US, neither refers to a left-wing party, and in most countries red aligns with left.
If I went back to the vi interface for some reason I’d at least use ctrl-[. I dislike lifting my hand more than I dislike using modifiers.
I used vi for a few years so have the muscle memory and the sole advantage in my perception was that everything is simple typing with hands remaining in the home keys position (except Escape, ironically).
So it’s more relaxed if you find using modifiers onerous, but I don’t find Ctrl or Alt significantly worse than Shift, and I don’t find it any worthwhile advantage.
Pretty bizarre if people do this. I’ve never heard it to mean anything but linoleum.
But a lot of people in the US use the word “turf” to specify not turf (i.e. artificial turf), so there’s no reason for words to mean things.
What? One of linoleum’s benefits is not off gassing and not being made from fossil fuels. Are you thinking of vinyl?
Excellent description of the zeitgeist.
Your portrait of before generative AI is a bit hard to square with the ad driven internet, but fits ever better the further back you go.
Yeah, we’re turning it all to shit in so many ways simultaneously, it’s truly something awful to behold. Maybe there is a singularity coming after all, but it’s not one like the credulous tech worshippers imagined.
