  • Because in 20+ years of off and on using linux, I’ve never once gotten apt to install anything. I have however fucked up my whole system by doing sudo apt update/sudo apt upgrade.

    Sorry but that's really not typical, you must have been doing something out of the ordinary or been very unlucky.

    I didn’t say I want to know why it needs them. I’m upset it tells me that it tells me it needs them, and then says “they won’t be installed”, but won’t tell me WHY they won’t be installed. If the program needs those dependancies, just install them. Instead it juat says “we know you need the dependancies, but we’re not going to do that”.

    It's the package manager that handles dependencies, not the program you're trying to install. Random programs shouldn't be able to just install things on your computer. Did you try installing the dependencies?

  • How do you guys get around/to places?

    跳过

  • Personally I really enjoy walking, think nothing of walking 3 miles / 5km or so to get somewhere and back, further sometimes, it's not a waste of time to me, it's the time where I do my best thinking. For this a good backpack is a good idea for shopping. I am fortunate to live somewhere where everything I need is within that radius and there are decent buses and trains for further trips so I've never had to drive, in some places a car is essential though, unfortunately, there's nothing I can say to help there, other than to move but that's not always possible either.

  • I've never heard of driving side ever applying to walking side. What happens in places like France or Sweden where trains run on the left and cars run on the right?

  • Thumb-Key Speed

    跳过

  • Yes I've been using it in some form for about 15 years - FYI it originally started as the MessagEase keyboard; Thumb-Key is an open source replacement (maintained by none-other than Dessalines of Lemmy), so I was using MessagEase for most of that time but Thumb-Key can replicate its layout.

    The reason I chose it is because I use Dvorak on desktop, but Dvorak is notoriously bad for one thumb typing so I thought if I was going to learn a new layout I may as well learn something that's optimised for one thumb. As for whether it's faster, I have nothing to really compare it to, I'm not anywhere near as fast as on my physical Dvorak keyboard (which I use significantly more) but I've never used anything else on touch screen.

  • The most common bloatware we found on laptops and how to get rid of them

    跳过

  • The article could have literally been a beginner's guide to installing an operating system instead. But for some reason in the last 20 years or so there's been a complete allergy to teaching anyone even the most elementary computer skills and it's holding society back. I'm not sure it is worth being spied on by ad agencies for what it's worth, especially if you're not going to learn to become any more than a passive consumer.

  • The most common bloatware we found on laptops and how to get rid of them

    跳过

  • This is often the pushback I get when making this point but I would argue that especially non tech-savvy users are vulnerable. The alternative is asking a trusted friend to do a clean install, which should be the advice of this article, that or a guide on how to do it. It's irresponsible to publish an article aimed at a naive user who has received a computer full of bloatware and tell them to "just remove all the bloatware".

  • The most common bloatware we found on laptops and how to get rid of them

    跳过

  • Why would you say that. It's true that most users take a blase attitude to security these days, and it's normalised by articles like this. It's just basic good practice, whether buying a new or used PC, to do a clean install because even if you think you've removed the bloatware, you can't really trust there's no secret malware. Especially these days when so many companies want to spy on users it really isn't just paranoia.

  • Many European cities have rail networks while similar-sized UK and Irish cities remain bus-dependent

  • I'm not disagreeing with you there.

  • Many European cities have rail networks while similar-sized UK and Irish cities remain bus-dependent

    跳过

  • Heavy rail is for transport between municpalities and everybody has a bus system at least in Europe.

    Well London for example has a lot of suburban heavy rail, it's not on this list of course because of the tube, but conventional rail fills in a lot of gaps that the tube doesn't cover and actually works well. You could sort of say the same for Leeds/Bradford, though probably not as good, it's in an area with a dense rail network which probably explains why light rail never took off there - I'm not from the area so I can't really say how well it works. I'm a big advocate for trams and light rail but there's no one-size-fits-all solution for all cities, cities with different geography, density, etc need different transport. That's why I said about quality in my other post, the overall quality of a city's public transport network should be judged, not just the modes of transport.

  • Many European cities have rail networks while similar-sized UK and Irish cities remain bus-dependent

    跳过

  • I was actually thinking more about how it doesn't include any continental European cities without them. I think I agree with the premise that we could benefit from more of them here in the UK, while we have some we probably do lag behind most of Europe, but presenting it like this it's not even making that point. Also there's nothing that takes in to account the quality of the network, a good bus network, or heavy rail, or both, may be preferable for some cities but would fail here.

  • Many European cities have rail networks while similar-sized UK and Irish cities remain bus-dependent

    跳过

  • Not saying the UK/Ireland couldn't benefit from more tram systems but how were the cities picked? Because it seems like you could cherry pick them to say anything. Also strange it ignores heavy rail and doesn't seem to like buses.

  • Budweiser is currently cheaper in Germany than in the United States*

    跳过

  • Well they can't in Germany evidently, at least. But for better or worse trademark laws typically prioritise who got there first in the market, not necessarily who has greater claim to the name.

  • Budweiser is currently cheaper in Germany than in the United States*

    跳过

  • It’s rebranded in a lot of places due to the trademark dispute (there’s another Budweiser beer from the Czech Republic). Can’t speak specifically for Germany but I don’t think it’s really that popular anywhere in Europe despite a no doubt large advertising budget.
