The good thing about mspaint is I can close my eyes, press the windows key, type mspaint return and I can be reasonably sure it will open without installing anything. Edit spelling

On fedora, I use alt + print screen to capture the current active window. I practically always maximize my windows so it works for me. Assuming Ubuntu hasn’t messed with gnome too much, this should work. See if it works better for your work

Exactly. For example, imagine if Texas decided it would no longer allow people who have out of state driver’s licenses to drive in the state. All the other states will quickly ban Texas drivers from driving in their states as well. And we a

I would go a step further and call for an end to all means testing for anything government funded. I am relatively poor and this will help me because even though I am poor I still have to prove I am poor which is burdensome.

This is such a difficult topic. On one hand I want to give the next generation the same freedoms that I enjoyed but on the other hand the “game” has gotten more… everything. Even adults can’t avoid falling for these traps. I’ve seen with my

I don’t like azure functions timer triggers at all. Why does it need azure storage? What is it doing differently from an HTTP trigger that requires this nonsense? Why does azurite fail to start in my local visual studio some of the time? I

I’d say it is always safer to fully load a car on a flatbed and tow it with none of the wheels turning. I never understood why it is allowed to tow someone else’s car with their wheels turning.

I don't get it. Why is fiber to the home so expensive? I think in principle, it makes sense for us to pay for rural broadband the same way we paid for rural electricity. The problem is some companies took the money but didn't deli
