There certainly are aspects that could be better, but renaming is not one of them. The default behavior on Windows File Explorer is actually a bad UX decision imo. You click a file and you might accidentally rename the file in the process.

That is a game of motte and bailey really. The hard definition of science is another than the one we've seen over the years in mass media.

What is the point then? Justifying telemetry? Because the value for the user is at least very close to zero, but the privacy implications are not.

Just one little thing ruined my workflow back when I tried KDE ~2018. It was the newest Plasma version back then. What really screwed me over were bugs with window focus. Sometimes you have to click twice to get a window to focus and it&#x2

You can always smuggle the debugging tools in even `FROM scratch`, but my point was that "by default" these debugging tools were missing on Ubuntu.

by AnonCoward42 3y ago
Ironically Ubuntu image is worse for debugging than Alpine by default even if it is substantially bigger. `vi` and `less` are missing from Ubuntu for example and are part of Alpine.

by AnonCoward42 3y ago
This is mostly romantic western propaganda. We (the NATO) are the good ones, which is not part of your essay, and the bad ones are the Russians. This is reflected in the sources as well, which are exclusively pro-west ones as far as I can s

I think Discord is well placed as an ephemeral chat environment, but really bad as a sort of community knowledge database or even for discourse (something that goes beyond flame wars of course, both do fine on that front).

Discord is really bad as a forum. It's just not made for this purpose.

It's the capitalism cliché, but it is not the capitalism. Even if you only seek profits, it's not necessarily in their interest to get tunnel-vision and seek short-term profits. Depending on how it proceeds this might be a lesso

Instead you could vary it by using i.e. "PEM KEY GOES HERE". Tho I must admit there is no real harm in producing a new private key that is not used - at least not directly; it might lead to copy/paste usage, which is obvious

Honest question: Why do you try to replace Tupperware? Plastic has a bad reputation because of its longevity, but that also makes it a good material for containers. That - in turn - makes it bad for throwaway packaging of course. I might ha
