Aren’t they already doing that?
Aren’t they the politicians?

That’s me.

It’s the thing you run when your Parallel Processing Card is not doing anything and you go - “might as well”

I finally have the ability to disable Middle Click to Paste, thanks to Wayland.
And I can have that settings per-pointing device, thanks to KDE.

And although I now have to worry about looking for a Keypress Displaying OSD, at least I need not worry about something like Discord, logging all my passwords (although I just stopped using discord to fix that).

I just connect my laptop’s headphone output to my PC’s Line-In using an AUX male-male connector.

Once, while typing a dd command, I realised I was sleepy.
I deferred until next day.

Usually I keep partitionmanager open alongside, to cross-check my device selection.
Unlike having to use other CLI tools to determine if I have it right, I get some handy icons (like the USB drive symbol). Still, make sure to check the contents just in case it got bugged and set the icon to the wrong type of drive.

UK seems to be big on Windows gun control laws :P

No one will care if you aren’t either a company earning millions or are a huge public figure

And that is not just a company or “capitalism” problem. That’s a society problem.
If you are not some public figure, if you cry out “thief”, you can expect people to tell you to “shut up” instead^[1], while the thief, who might have some amount of local power, will get to smack you right in front of them.
Why? Because to them, you are the problem for making too much noise. Because you don’t let bygones be bygones.

If someone has the gall to steal in front of everyone and not be said anything before you cry, perhaps you want to be looking at the bystanders with a fair amount of suspicion. In our case however, we already know the bystanders (talking about governments here) are guilty and that they are already all too powerful and the others are just standing too far and like ants to the thieves.

Exactly.
If you are exiting with a memory leak, Linux is having to wipe the floor for you.

I tend to use proper black on proper white too, specially on a laptop monitor of mine, that makes it look specially good.

I exist btw

Although these websites are still doable.
The kind I absolutely loathe are the ones which, if I make the window width smaller (because the website is not using the space any way), the text in the website further reduces with exact proportion.
At that point, I consider if what I am reading is actually worth clicking the “Reader Mode” button or should I just Ctrl+W

Nice. Now what do I do if I have ~0 device driver experience^[1]?
Oh and I also have 0 devices to make a driver for :P, so need to fix that too.

Whatever Nanoleaf is, now I need to go and check it out.

There are some times when I wish I were better at regexp and scripting.
Times when I am writing a similar kind of thing again and again, which is just different enough (and small enough number of repetitions) that it doesn’t seem viable to make the script.

At those times, I tend to think - maybe Cursor would have done this part well - but have no real idea since I have never used it.

On the other hand, if I had a scripting endpoint from clang, ^[1], I would have used that to make a batch processor for even a repetition as small as 10 and wouldn’t have thought once about AI.

I guess, it would be useful as a kind of fuzzer with a high price to performance ratio.
Making tests to try and find vulnerabilities.

For normal functionality testing though, better off making it yourself.

instead of just using a proper IDE with go-to-definition

I have seen people use an IDE that has the functionality, but searching it instead.
And then not finding it because it is in an out of project header, even though the IDE provides an F1 help (documentation) for that symbol.

Never have I had to implement any kind of ridiculous algorithm to pass tests with huge amounts of data in the least amount of memory, as the competitive websites show.

It has been mostly about:

• Finding the correct library for a job and understanding it well, to prevent footguns and blocking future features
• Design patterns for better build times
• Making sane UI options and deciding resource alloc/dealloc points that would match user interaction expectations
• cmake

But then again, I haven’t worked in FinTech or Big Data companies, neither have I made an SQL server.

Just 1 more kiloton of Uranium.
It will be ready by the time that’s depleted.

Also, this statement applies EVERYWHERE.

cluster bombs just fling granades all over a city block at random

That gave me the mental image of an Age of Empires 2 mangonel.
