A recent report from Stanford University in the US, published in the journal Nature Communications, found that recycling lithium-ion batteries is far more environmentally friendly than mining for new materials.
I mean, "something something proxy war" part was used from the very beginning (if not in those exact words). Even if so, disliking Ukraine for taking part in it is completely backwards thinking, IMO, given it's them who was attacked, and not the other way around.
Not exactly. In English, stuff that's not a person is of neutral gender, i.e. just "it" (unless the speaker has an affection towards it, then it's usually a "she"). In other languages stuff also has "genders", like "la chambre" (the French* for "a room") is a "she".
So, my initial guess was that the dev natively speaks some language, where a user is a "he", and ppl don't have a concept of a neutral gender. But in case of Swedish there are 2 variants of "it" for things [edit: there's "it" and "they"], so it seems incorrect.
I'm using French instead of, for example, Russian here due to it not having a neutral gender, while Russian has "it" and something akin to "they" (like "задира", the Russian for a bully). Although, I may be wrong here, since I've started learning French quite recently, and may've missed smth.
Huh, checked out their noun genders, and those are quite interesting: 2 genders, but common and neuter instead of masculine and feminine. So out goes that theory
Lmao, a weird choice of a hill to die on. Although, given I've seen ppl refer to a user account as "he" exactly 0 times before that, I suspect the dev may speak smth like French natively, where everything is either male or female.
That said, i'd rather use "it" instead of "they", given an account (and anon one at that) is not a person.
The same way as specifying ss before and after i in ffmpeg doing different stuff or that moment when sysd could delete your homedir some time ago when you asked it to clear the tempfiles. I.e, it's not; that's what manpages are for
Wasn't there a more general definition as well, like man = human? Kinda outdated given the current trend of replacing those with persons and whatnot, yet presents enough reasonable doubt to me 🤷
I still like pacman's syntax the most due to it being close to what one expects from a normal cli program. Also, I'm lazy, and pacman -Syu, for example, is way faster to type than apt update && apt upgrade.
I mean, if you want an init (e.g. embedded linux), sysd may not be way you want. On desktops, tho, you ultimately end up hacking together more or less the same functionality with sticks'n'shit. And yes, sysd timers are more readable than crontab, sue me.
As a Russian, fuck those assholes and the shithole they're operating.
