  • Can somebody please explain the reason behind Keiko hate?

  • Windows VS Linux (part 2)
  • I merely tried to provide a response in the same tier as yours.

  • There's no need to get upset, the entire comment was typed on a keyboard; I didn't say a word.

  • This applies to pretty much all "Linux good, Win/MacOS bad" memes. I just assume that people either aren't really serious about them and it's just tongue in cheek, or they don't have any contact with regular people.

    I used to work as a(n assistant to the) sysadmin and the things I got called over never stopped to amaze. For instance, there was a case when software was updated on the work machines and I got called because some lady couldn't use Adobe Acrobat. "It is asking me something, I don't know what". I come over and it's just a TOS Accept/Decline window.

    Some people do not understand computers to an extent that they can lock up in a state of confusion when a button has been moved 100px in any direction from its usual position.

  • Don't use apostrophes wherever you see an "s" at the end of a word. If you're unsure about whether or not to use an apostrophe, just don't. Because statistically, there are far fewer cases where you need 'em than there are cases where you don't. Plus if you missed the apostrophe where it should be, people will just assume you didn't bother to type it or it was a typo. Whereas if you do type it where it shouldn't be, it's a clear case of "this person doesn't know how apostrophes work".

  • All of modern desktop software
  • If you're talking about an app that exist solely as Electron, then you might be right. But the primary benefit of Electron is that you can distribute your already existing webapp as a downloadable app, which reduces the amount of maintenance significantly.
    Also, when it comes to UI diversity and customization, nothing beats HTML+CSS.

    And as you mentioned, there's a looot of webdevs. Electron empowers those people to easily create applications. Which they did, they created many useful apps. An application that isn't perfect resource usage-wise is often much better than no application at all.

    Think of Minecraft. Java is arguably the worst language to use for a chunk-based 3D game. But it's still better than no Minecraft at all.

  • Anon tries watching nu-Trek
  • Yeah, I was gonna say I don't remember anybody being gay in TNG. Am I missing something?

    Oh, and IMO the cast of TNG is the opposite of emotional. They are calm and collected 90% of the time. 5% is Riker being horny, and the other 5% is Picard losing his shit over the amount of lights or something.

  • Things you need to tell your kids
  • Fair enough.

    My parents didn't tell me :'(

  • But RAID is backup if it's backup...

  • Recycling
  • You can't!

    Janeway There's poo in that nebula!

  • Recycling
  • Yeah, I had kopi luwak in mind with this comment, although technically, people consume the undigested beans, clean off all the poo content :(

  • Recycling
  • That's respiration, I'm talking specifically defecation. I want alien poop! >:(

  • Just a little guy
  • Does it just automatically restart beating after effects wear off?

  • Just a little guy
  • What about the heart?

  • Recycling
  • I wonder if the feces of certain alien species is like some serious gourmet shit to humans. And vice versa. Can we make a closed shit-eater ecosystem with a few species?

  • The more you know
  • You have it wrong, it was Calvin Marty Klein.

  • How diffrent OSes evolve
  • I think the way you worded it doesn't make it obvious that you're criticizing the graph specifically and not the os, hence your downvotes. But yes, that graph is absolute mess.

  • How diffrent OSes evolve
  • Yeah, and Linux is green all the way through, even though according to the depicted MacOS scale it should only be hitting bright yellow levels at the peak.
