    For those who struggle with dating, what do you consider to be your biggest hurdle?

  • Finding women for whom my appearance isn't a dealbreaker. I have moderate to serious rosacea and acne on my face. That filters out 90%+ of women before we even speak to each other.

  • That name is decades old. XDG stands for "Cross Desktop Group".

    A "pure" X environment (e.g. startx xterm) also doesn't define those variables, but many desktop environments do, just like many shell configurations do.

  • Instant messaging.

    20 years ago, there were half a dozen competing major platforms (AIM, Yahoo, ICQ, MSN, etc), like today.

    The difference is that you had your choice of half a dozen clients that could each talk to ALL of the platforms. Adium, Trillian, Kopete, etc.

    Today's kids have no idea what we lost to the god of profit.

  • If you're at least a 4/10 woman or an 8/10 man, they are pretty effective. For the rest of us, not so much.

  • BTRFS for Linux gaming?

    Jump

  • It depends on what sort of games you play. Some games / genres / publishers are much worse about this than others.

  • Is Boeing in big trouble? World's largest aerospace firm faces 10 more whistleblowers after sudden death of two

    Jump

  • Article author seems to have completely fabricated the "10 more". There are no quotes from anyone even hinting at more whistleblowers existing, let alone ten more.

  • As a long time Pandora user... I never want to select individual songs. I want stations, vibes, playlists, etc.

    The idea that downloading gigabytes of packages every week is a normal and required aspect of using a computer is part of why I left Windows...

  • Mastodon and Peertube: EU closing up shop in Fediverse because nobody wants to run servers

    Jump

  • Who runs their email servers? You can outsource fediverse server hosting too...

  • What happened to "You're welcome!" as a response to "Thank You"? It's not even included in the canned answers on an apple watch. Have we as a society abandoned it?

    Jump

  • Yes. It's been disappearing since before I was born in the 80s, and is mostly gone now.

  • How often do you contribute to open source projects?

  • Mastodon has timed muting, but only permanent blocking.

  • It's extremely unlikely ... YOU, sure. But it's absolutely certain that legit people will be blocked from contacting from those numbers to hundreds or thousands of other people.
