Actually, I was going to point out that growing up I'd eat the nuts extracted from the cone of the Araucaria tree, which - depending on shape and how ripe they are - could look remarkably like a green pineapple [1]. ... but that introd

I've been pondering getting the 15 inch Spectre, I just can't get over the weird placement of the touchpad and the keyboard including a numeric pad. I know it's silly, but it's just... why make something so pretty then m

I've been using a Matebook X Pro (from Huawei) for the past three years and I have to agree: a 3:2 ratio (at 3000x2000 resolution) is amazing . I've been slowly looking around for a newer machine for work, but honestly most scree

As everyone else said: 0.11 to 0.12 was painful. After that, you just need to deal with converting the state whenever a new version comes out, but that's basically automated so not a biggie.

Agreed. That's why I settled with using the standard theme (Breeze) with some minor panel changes to make the system work a bit like macOS: global menu on top, small self-hiding dock at the bottom. The whole thing took maybe a couple h

Yeah... the desktop environment itself is pretty nice, but a lot of the apps built around it are either abandonware or just plain low quality. At least nowadays GTK applications don't look completely out of place so even using all kind

Maybe join us Plasma users in the dark side. Honestly, it's pretty sweet and you can configure it to look and behave just the way you want it.

You laugh, but I've heard that NFTs taste better than the actual cookies they vaguely represent in JSON form .

I understand your argument, but wouldn't be the opposite be true too? Aren't RMS's comments defending Minsky just a form of 'clout seeking' and being argumentative for arguments sake? If people are making the case t

It’s not so much about what is in the chasm, but what lies at the edges. Dave Chappelle has a strong incentive to keep his jokes edgy but somewhat acceptable within the society he makes a living in. The anonymous edgelord posting neo-Nazi

There's a whole gaping chasm between Dave Chappelle - a world-famous comedian - making what is clearly a joke on a stage and some anonymous person posting edgy white supremacist shit 'for the lulz'. In case you haven't b

Have you ever pondered if your 'shit posting' led to other people being harassed and led them to question their safety?

Would you agree then that participating in the 'anti-anti' mobs is also a possible form of feigned 'empathy'?

Yeah, I understand how it can be confusing that a community that defines itself by being an explicit rejection of the norms of society and calls people they disagree with 'normies' could possibly concern itself with what other p

ROFL, you think too much of yourself if you don't realize that the whole 'I don't care about your feelings, I'm gonna be a very aggressive boy, you just watch me!' isn't a cry for attention. In fact, that kind

That's a lot of text to try to justify being a shithead. My favorite ridiculous bit is when you pretend that all the stupid /g/ slang isn't designed around shock value . By your own argument, I guess pedophilia is accep

Please, when you start with a bad faith attempt at whitewashing Luke's YouTube as not being full of edgelord shit trying to 'own the libs', I don't think I can take your opinion seriously about what people do to define t

The term 'based' is only used by a very tiny group of people. I'll let you figure out why one of their heroes was a guy they called 'based stickman' that ended in prison for assaulting people with a weapon.

I’m always fascinated by people complaining about ‘woke identity politics’ usually when coming in defense of people who define their whole identity... as anti-woke. Maybe let’s admit that everyone is playing identity politics, it’s just tha

It'll make applications smaller by not having to bundle a full copy of Chromium for each application. It may make applications slightly faster if the webview is already loaded in memory, and it'll probably save some RAM because

Always. Test. Your shit. I wish there was more advocacy around this. DanceSafe [1] sells inexpensive kits that people can use to test against most of the bad stuff (like NBOMEs). [1] https://dancesafe.org/

Django is optimizing for the 99.99% of people rather than the 0.01% of people who manage billions of rows on a single table. I like SQLAchemy, but for most people the added cost of managing connections, transactions, have to decide whether
