  • Not in my experience. Granted that was mostly Reddit, but I often read entire threads about this, with almost nobody coming up with reasonable criticism.

    I guess that was different on moderated bug trackers and so on?

  • Oh I'm sure there was valid critique, but at the time it was completely hidden under a pile of made-up conspiracy bullshit about red hat being the devil or so, or plain wrong assertions like “it's monolithic” or “it forces you to use binary logging”.

    If the debate would have been about technical merits, maybe one of the other init systems would have won by being slightly better, but systemd’s detractors prevented that really well by making the public “debate” a compete farce.

    Wayland has to overcome more real problems than systemd (because X11 was a giant monolith of compatibility hacks that everybody used, as opposed to a hundred piles of messy shell scripts that was SYSV init). But it has no alternatives that could possibly have more technical merit; I can't even remember the thing Ubuntu announced for a hot minute.

  • I have the opposite experience. Multi monitor setup for my was always a half broken hassle on X11 and just works on Wayland.

  • You can also switch between all of the ones you named using ostree rebase or so, which is pretty rad

  • Hmm, when a car has problems, you go to someone who fixes that for you. People under 60 usually don't do that for PCs.

    I don't recommend Arch to newbies, but I do prefer it because it's more robust: other distros patch stuff to make it easier, but those patches mean things are farther from the tested upstream version. Arch doesn't do that as much so I run into fewer bugs.

    But this view might be outdated. I just remember that before 2017 (when I installed my current Arch system) I constantly had problems with dist-upgrades in Ubuntu

  • You might just have learned more about how stuff works by now. Arch is very much “you need to make every choice manually, but then you've seen what choices exist”

  • Mint is still on X11, pretty much all other distos switched over to Wayland by now, which works much better with multi-monitor setups.

    There's a subforum in the mint forums about this, and this is the reason why I don't recommend mint for newbies anymore.

  • Social gatherings have been... different since I switched.

  • Debatte um Krankenstand: Ärzte fordern Abschaffung der Krankschreibung in den ersten drei Tagen

    Jump

  • Lustig dass das so nach hinten los geht. Wenn ich krank bin und mich nach den attestfreien 3 Tagen wieder gut fühle, arbeite ich.

    Wenn mich jemand für eine Woche krank schreiben würde, würde ich mich daran halten, hat immerhin ein Arzt bestimmt lol.

  • The lost art of XML — mmagueta

  • Exactly. I've seen so much data destroyed silently deep in some bioinformatics pipeline due to this that I've just become an anti CSV advocate.

    Use literally anything else that doesn't need out of band “I'm using this dialect” information that has to match to prevent data loss.

  • No:

    • CSV isn't good for anything unless you exactly specify the dialect. CSV is unstandardized, so you can't parse arbitrary CSV files correctly.
    • you don't have to serialize tables to JSON in the “list of named records” format

    Just user Zarr or so for array data. A table with more than 200 rows isn't ”human readable” anyway.
