  • They're all back online now because of articles like this.

  • Fun fact: until very recently most of the computer hardware was made in communist China. I know, scary.

    China hasn't been communist in a long time.

  • Try reading slower. Look up words you don't understand with a dictionary.

  • You're misinformed. It's okay to admit when you're wrong.

  • All the Firefox forks are pretty much dead as well.

    Firedragon and LibreWolf seem to be pretty healthy. I've been using LW daily for over a year and FD daily for 1-2 years before that.

  • What do you mean by "actually work in the real world"? I can go on GitHub right now and fork a project within 5 minutes. So can you. It works.

  • I'm going to post this thread anytime I get some random screaming about how Linux is soooo much easier than Windows.

    What a ridiculous straw man. I don't think I've ever heard anybody promote Linux but claiming that it's easier than Windows.

    This bullshit is the number 1 detractor of adoption.

    That's a trend I've noticed from Linux critics: they had some bad experience due to a use case that they didn't feel was properly catered to, and because they had a bad experience, that's the reason why more people aren't choosing Linux.

    I've never used mouse gestures. I'm willing to bet most users don't. People aren't picking up Linux and going "Aaarrrgghhh! This sucks, because I can't program my mouse gestures!" This sounds like a power user feature. Catering to power users so that they don't badmouth you online is not a good UX design strategy.

  • Meanwhile the vast majority of users couldn't care less, and just want to play games, browse the web, and chat with friends, all of which is completely functional in Wayland and has been for a while.

    The last couple of times I tried Wayland, it broke my desktop so badly that I couldn't even use it.

    Granted, that was "a while" ago, so my experience might be better now, but it's made me very wary of it.

  • Consensus doesn’t require everyone in the world to agree it just requires the majority to agree

    An overwhelming majority, yes. Do you a have a survey or study that demonstrates this?

    clearly the majority do otherwise the comment that it’s confusing would not have been made.

    This makes no sense. Anybody can make any comment. Just because I say a thing doesn't mean that the majority agrees with me.

  • It isn't a consensus, though. If it were, nobody would be debating it.

  • In that case, it's sad that he doesn't think the Russian people would revolt over sending hundreds of thousands of them to die in a pointless war.

  • Well, not with that attitude.

  • It seems reasonable to me that you could admire somebody without thinking that they're a friend or family. That's what being a fan is. Some of the more extreme fans are going to want to know intimate details about the object of their admiration. I don't see how it's different from any other obsessive hobbyist.

  • In a rare apology from the Russian president, Putin said during his end-of-year press conference that insufficient imports and demand are to blame for the hiked prices.

    "I'm sorry about this problem. This is a setback in the government's work," Putin said on December 14. "I promise that the situation will be corrected in the near future."

    Holy shit. Russians are serious about their eggs!

    Look, it isn't hard to substitute eggs in recipes. You can use applesauce, banana, chia seeds, flax seeds, or tofu. (To be fair, though, I don't know what those cost in Russia as compared to eggs.)

  • I don't understand your comment, especially the last sentence. Who thinks that celebrities are their friends?

  • A lot of people with mental health issues self-medicate with illegal drugs. This guy was probably suffering from depression, and the police pushed him too far. So ridiculous and tragic.

  • :wq!

  • Some people like vim the way it is. That's why they haven't re-invented it. If you want to use a more intuitive text editor, there are plenty available (such as nano or micro).They don't need to turn vim into a clone of something that already exists.

    As for why it's still the default... It's the same reason why everybody uses QWERTY keyboards when Dvorak is clearly superior. People already know how to type with QWERTY and they don't want to take the time to re-learn with a new layout, change their workflows, etc.

    It isn't universal, though. Garuda Linux defaults to micro. The web dev boot camp I was in didn't bring vim up at all! We only used nano! I think that was a disservice to the students, but the instructors must've thought that it would be too confusing.

  • Yeah, don't try to make anything better. It's a waste of time unless you're trying to overhaul the entire economic system.

    What a smooth-brained take.

  • Couldn't read the article, because it's behind a paywall.
