Ah, I didn't think about it that way, and I understand what you mean, but yes, my polemics were directed at a very specific, rare kind of user that I used to associate with. The reason I call my article a mess is that I don't pro

I agree, but we might be imagining different things under the term "Un*x dogmatists".

FWIW I agree when it comes to copy/paste, because there select/middle click is established. The context menu comes in handy for those operations that are just used seldom enough that you don't want to waste a single click on

I wrote this mess, and didn't expect this to end up here. To clarify, I wrote the first section because polemics are fun, not because I am claiming to have discovered something radical. My imagined addressee is the kind of person who

Perhaps of interest, I wrote something similar a few years ago for my university in German: https://wwwcip.cs.fau.de/~oj14ozun/src+etc/init.el (here a HTML version https://wwwcip.cs.fau.de/~oj14ozu

I think you should be able to replace the "disown" with "nohup", thus making the startup script POSIX compliant. A general question would be what version of Emacs you are targeting. As even Debian stable distributes 27.

I think the point of a template is that you can change everything yourself, it is not a library you install with a package manager and are expected to leave alone. Given the good explanation of what is going on, I think disabling the about

Have you ever brought this up to the restoraunt owners? I would guess that if they are not some large chain, they listen to direct customer feedback, over statistics and corporate guidelines.

Yes, that was what I had in mind. Thank you!

I remember reading that it should be able for users to sue instead of the author, if they cannot ccess the source of GPL'ed software.

I tried this too, but as Mozilla has no regard for any customization that are not done via the official graphical configuration interface (and sometimes not even that, considering how the compact UI mode is being removed), you'll have

There must have been a misunderstanding. I don't care about consumption per se, just the effect that smoking in public spaces has on my nose.

This is basically my hope too. I don't want the advances that have been made in removing tobacco from public spaces to be undone by legalising marijuana. It is great that it won't be treated as a criminal act to use/possess&#

I find it hard to breathe in spaces where people had either smoked Marijuana. The smell of something like coffee is far less invasive, so it doesn't disturb me as much.

Sure, in cities like Berlin I am not surprised to here that more people consume it. But outside of big cities, I rarely encounter it. The only reason I don't like this legalisation, is that with the drug being more easy to obtain, more

Hope this won't lead to more smoking in public places. Every time I notice people consuming or having have had consumed the drug in some form, I found it even more insufferable than day-to-day cigarettes.

I was looking around to buy a new phone, and the Pixel 5a seemed very nice. The design is clean, the screen may be big but the battery is bigger, and it works with Graphene OS! I just want a boring phone that will work. But they decided to

Can you recommend any links or literature to learn more about systemd, beyond the basics?

Vi (rather than vim) should probably be treated more like how most developers know how to use a unix shell, rather than a specific product. Far more than the program that implements it, vi(m) is more relevant as a UI. Granted, it is not ide

Knowing Mozilla, the option will be changed and renamed every version and will have to be re-enabled manually again and again.

CA, like many concepts of analysis that have entered popular conciousness (structual racism, patriarchy, ...), have been vulgarized beyond making sense, yet people on both sides of the discussion act as though whatever these theories were r
