I tried compiling DoritOS, but apparently I didn’t have the right chip

I’m thinking it’s a real fight that is also accomplishing those other things.

They’re helpful to determine the general community’s take on something, even if there is little other engagement.

And if I’m being honest, getting upvotes is a sweet hit of dopamine. But I try to keep things in perspective.

I’m a senior with a good boss, I pretty much just ignore it. And fortunately, at least in my company, most people have done that (especially with the safety critical stuff). But management still has a way of making your life miserable when you stand your ground on this kind of thing, so it’s also common to just tell them some bullshit and go about your job.

It depends on the way you like to learn.

If you like to play around with things and look things up as you need, go with a beginner-friendly distro (Mint, ElementaryOS, and Pop!OS are all good options). This gives a more immediate payoff (in that there are lots of fun things to experiment with right away), but you’ll learn things kinda piecemeal.

If you like to learn by reading first, then starting with the absolute minimum and gradually working your way up, something like Arch might be great for you. It’s a much slower process and has a much steeper learning curve, but if you have the discipline for it, you’ll come out with a really solid understanding of how things work.

Most people start with something simple, and venture into the more intimidating waters when they feel comfortable. If you’re not sure, try Mint and go from there. You can always wipe it and install Arch later (if you don’t have anything important on this laptop, you can try lots of different ones without worrying about migrating or losing anything).

Any instance can simply say, “we’re full”. But it’s up to the instances themselves–it wouldn’t make sense to impose an arbitrary limit, because each instance has different capabilities.

But normalizing instance membership limiting seems sensible for a network with this model.

Brilliant, no notes.

It’s okay, I’ll still take it.

Plain curtain. Cut a hole about 3 inches in diameter, about 30 inches from the ground. Line the inside of the hole with duct tape.

Developers are resentful toward AI for the same reason they resented blockchain–it becomes a buzz word that every middle manager is convinced will improve productivity, and it’s forced whether it’s actually helpful or not.

I work on safety-critical code. AI is useless here, but we have to “use” it to appease clueless shareholders.

A live-action Lorax. Danny DeVito is the only human, and he’s wearing a Lorax costume.

I wouldn’t need a case if the phone were designed with proper bevels. You literally can’t set an uncased phone on a flat surface without scratching the screen or camera (which sticks out awkwardly).

And don’t get me started on the screens with curved edges. Complete garbage design (why yes, I’d love to accidentally use touch gestures just by holding the device, frrrrrrt).

It entirely depends on the type of ice cream. Many brands add “softeners” that make it easier to scoop. My go-to here in Canada is Chapman’s, and I’ve never had an issue. But we’ve had other kinds that were nigh-impossible.

Ah, then why not throw them with a sling? All the extra leverage with none of the extra weight, and it’s more or less silent. Imagine a barrage of grenades coming in from 200 yards at 60mph.

I think mine says it’s set to -18°C?
