I just used it because he did. My real feeling was exhaustion. More of those comments than comments about the subject matter of the post. Like going to a swimming meet as a pro and finding it full of kids instead.

In the US, the land in between the sidewalk and the road is city-owned. As is the sidewalk.

What I find pretentious is the legion of commenters who can't find anything better to comment on and instead pretend they're smart by nitpicking some stylistic choice in the most low-effort way possible.

The night the bar I went to shut down, we got some spray paint and wrote messages all over the building. Few weeks later they're having an estate sale. I notice it was painted over. Asked the owner, he said the county got on his ass ab

The more money you throw at an effort, the more gets flushed out as waste, and the harder it is to maintain quality. Pretty universal across business.

It's an improvement, I'll give you that much. But it's moved in the opposite direction and seeks to reduce freedom, not give more of it. I should be able to run my own DNS cache, network manager, service manager if I want to.

Systemd is anything but simple. And the past definitely wasn't easy. You seem to have the terms backward. For the end user, yes, it's a polished experience that you mostly don't have to mess with, and the parts of it you&#x27

I don't fucking hate systemd. I'm marginally glad it exists. I just don't want to live under it's despotic regime. You might like it because you think trains running on time is more important than freedom. You're th

You probably use a desktop environment like GNOME or KDE. Maybe do some light coding in an IDE. I do not. I run window manager only, i3, with a really stripped down toolset. I like the idea of knowing my system in and out. My current projec

At the moment, on this machine I'm using, audio just doesn't work. Dunno why. Tried a few different things to fix it, no dice. Trying to troubleshoot is made enormously more difficult by the complexity of systemd. If I had a simpl

I used to be fine with it, until I started writing my own software tools, then looking at how to actually do stuff with systemd and I'm like, nope nope nope nope. At some point when I have space for a new project I'm going to migr

For me, is not a friendship unless there's regular, in person interaction, online doesn't count. Even if I'd gotten them onto another platform the only thing it would have been used for is coordinating more in person events.

God I'm so jealous you were able to get your friends to join Discord. My in-person friend group revolved around the bar we all went to. When the bar shut down, I floated the idea of a group chat but couldn't get anyone interested.

Orban just tried to ban the yearly Pride parade and inadvertently turned it into the largest protest against his rule ever. Trump barely took the election and may have even stolen it, if recent news is to be believed.

The limiting factor to Chinese soft power development is its need to remain authoritarian. Folks will accept living under one if that's all they know. But if you didn't grow up with the brainwashing nobody will trust you and every

I like to think that the things that drove him away from society and caused him to seclude himself from it are the very things this community values and seeks to protect.

Yes, the quoted section is rather overwrought, but I didn't know it was there. Why? I skimmed right over it. Your ability to take in information would be greatly improved if you can train your brain to be non-reactive to such things.

You'll never cut through this attitude. It is, as you say, perpetual. HN is their safe space, hence the strong reaction you're receiving. You're going to have to learn how to operate within the mindset if you want pleasant in
