All I’m saying is that people shouldn’t be immediate turned away from Linux whenever they bring up a failing of the platform by the people who live and breathe CLI.
It would be good for Linux flavors intended for desktop OS use to have some kind of style guide. Developers who are donating their valuable time don’t have to follow it, but it would at least give them all a sort of unified target so they don’t have to constantly reinvent the settings wheel.
There are a non-insignificant number of people who want it to be, and frankly it would be good to have the competition in the market space if only to keep the other players honest.
Almost any discussion about another popular OS has a few token “switch to Linux” comments. I see people often using the phrase “The Year of Linux” after that other OS does something unfavorable in hopes to see a massive migration.
So there’s a desire for it to become popular. Maybe it will never replace that other OS, but that doesn’t mean it can’t compete for the desktop OS space.
The disregard for simplicity and/or outright hostility towards ease of use and centralizing settings I see in the comments here is the primary reason Linux will never replace that other OS as the home computer OS. This culture of elitism, and yes it is elitism, is harmful to that cause. I see this attitude almost every time someone expresses frustration towards Linux for an issue that other OSs have overcome (or significantly lessened) literally decades ago.
There is, arguably, a sense of entitlement for wanting free software developers to ‘do the thing’, but that’s not a Linux problem. Free software exists on all platforms, and those developers still manage to follow the OS’s design philosophy.
The standard user should never, ever, ever have to use a CLI for anything ever, nor should they need to have a Linux Guy on speed dial to be able to solve a basic general issue. You might argue that an issue on those other OSs might need someone to open a CLI or dig into a settings file to fix, but those times are so few and far between that the average user may never have to do it in their lifetime. Meanwhile it seems like every solution to a Linux issue begins first thing with opening terminal.
User friendly flavors of Linux have made great strides towards making things much closer to those other OS design philosophies, and that’s great, but they’re not quite there yet. I’m also not saying every flavor of Linux needs to follow this pattern, as not every problem calls for a hammer. The problem is that Linux is still very much a Wild West OS where anything goes, hidden behind a roughly painted GUI facade.
It’s a good series but it’s definitely made for young kids, which is a shame because it’s the Voyager continuation I’ve always wanted. I’ve watched season 1 and am eagerly anticipating season 2, but I hope (misplaced as it may be) that the tone is a little more serious this time.
I would have preferred if they split the Voyager stuff into its own series, but you take what you can get.
No qualms over the animation though. It’s perfectly enjoyable.
There’s the letter of the law and then there’s the spirit of the law. What was the law made for?
I think the idea of banning fully automatic weapons was to make it more difficult to have a high rate of firing. All of these automatic adjacent fixes are skirting the letter of the law, in spite of the spirit of the law.
I would love to have smaller cars, but my average size Civic can’t see around the driving billboards that all the people are driving these days, increasing the danger and risk to myself and passenger(s).
Yeah, I agree with them. Ranked Choice voting is extremely confusing. First you have to rank the candidates in the order you prefer to win, then…oh wait, no. It’s really not confusing at all.
I don’t think I’ve seen anyone in the legal system accuse him of treason charges. That’s mainly the public calling for that. Insurrection and obstruction, yes. Attempted coup, yes. But treason in the legal sense has a very strict definition.
Brain aside, I think he should be charged for treason too.
That’s one of the worst outcomes. That would let him, once again, escape Justice. While it wouldn’t matter to him anymore, it would still very much matter to everyone else still alive.
Some of the other worst outcomes are: he escapes with no punishment yet again, he becomes unalive through nefarious means turning him into a martyr, or and actual Civil War is started over all this resulting in people dying.
Yes, but that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the AI review summary bot combining reviews for different products into a single breakdown summary.
The issue of people abusing the combined reviews is a different issue entirely and not what I’m commenting on.
I noticed this while shopping for something last night and also immediately noticed a huge, glaring flaw in it. It doesn’t account for products with multiple different listings under the same product page. So for example you are looking at a page that has one option for pants and a second option for trucks (just an example) where the product reviews mix reviews for both, the AI bot will think they’re all for one product. You’ll see something like “Most customers feel they fit just right, while others think they don’t get enough gas mileage.”
