You are they as well. We all are.

And there goes the rabbit hole…

I don’t actually care. Grey man principle applies. So your nefarious shit offline and look like a model citizen otherwise.

Do you have to install the drivers again every time you need to use the network? That’s where I got to with my Laserjet pro on windows 10. I usually just printed it to a PDF and emailed it to my phone and printed it from there rather than f

It worked fine for three months until a kernel update.

I bought my spouse a MacBook Air. It just worked and I haven’t had to unfuck it once.

Exactly. That wasn’t specified when I bought it. It’s a regression.

That’s exactly how I felt running it for years on desktop.

It’s not just about that. You get time to process things in that 20 minutes.

To be fair hardware and driver problems never bothered me on windows. They mostly just worked and stayed working. Apart from printers which are a shit show.

I bought an officially supported and qualified laptop as recommended by canonical and the GPU drivers shit the bed at least two times an hour. Power management didn’t work. The battery got shitcanned after an hour. Just no. Lenovo T495 for

No that’s emotionally abusive. Just when you’ve got it all working, one apt update and your GPU drivers start dumping core. And when you close the lid on your laptop it’s like playing Russian roulette. On the desktop it’s needy, brittle and

Same trouble here. I find it’s better to get up and go for a 20 minute walk instead. That pulls all the right strings in my brain.

This. One cup a day here at 07:30 and that’s it. Was actually life changing.

I wouldn’t know these days. A while back I decided to break up with anything I was in an abusive relationship with.

This is the best reference I found: https://gobyexample.com/goroutines Keep reading the next thing until they stop talking about concurrency.

I shall look into nsenter. I have never actually used it. It may cover this use case. As for the status quo, I spend a lot of time extracting dumps from things in containers and debugging weird issues which is really really difficult withou

Before you do this, consider my discovery after running one for 2 years: all the integrations break, all the time. I’m now running weather and calendar widgets on my ipad home screen and some pinned favourites in Safari and that’s it.

That is surprisingly less bad than some of the stuff my company has pulled and thought it was excellent while patting themselves on the back. Usually it is a sign that the greater spotted MBA is insufficient on its own to produce effective

I tend to attempt to ruin asshat companies like that, usually because it’s only the tip of the iceberg of abuse. I’ve taken out two so far, one by quitting as the sole engineer when their only client went down and i wasn’t paid properly and

Moral of the story: don’t buy any old smart garbage off the internet. It probably doesn’t have your best interests at heart.

This and alcohol is how I ended up married and with kids. YMMV.

It’s isn’t really. Look at Zimbabwe hyperinflation. I have a trillion dollar note here. Cash is only worth what someone else agrees it is worth.

by hvgk 5y ago
That’s a fundamental misunderstanding of sensible economics. Cash is a facilitating fluid which should be channeled into diverse investments which are not based on monetary value such as property and resources, not stashed in large piles. H

by hvgk 5y ago
Cash is far less secure. There’s no transaction history, it’s easy to lose, easy to damage and difficult to exchange. People forget the only thing that is important is the exchange not the material used to do so. It’s all promises at the en

A good friend of mine is German. She moved out of the country a couple of years back because it was crammed with backwards ideologies and Ludditism to use her own words. Her father ran a small shop which went bankrupt because he was closed

Oh yes same here. I wrote a code generator that wrote all the code in the end. Now I maintain a shitty code generator. You can’t win. I think you eventually run out of fucks. I have.
