XP file search was slow as shit.

Everything for life! (locate (package: mlocate; run updatedb to get the initial load) for terminal on Linux, or I just use find)

Windows 10 is RIP October 2025 anyway, so might as well.

Is asked the local POC (Indonesian-Japanese; Indonesian-born) and he responded (and I quote) "people need to stop being pussies". The Brazilians (Brazil mentioned!) didn't care much either.

So I don't need to pretend anything about anything.

Your milage may vary though.

I don't know about Scrollone, but I hate it when corporations force me to change for the sake of change. Options to change is fine (in case someone doesn't like the default), of course.

And no, "inclusivity" is not the actual reason, as that's already covered by adding the option to change (which again, is completely fine)

Because I don't want to be forced to adapt by others. Let me adapt by myself. Adding an option for change is fine, but changing the default is fucking annoying. Fuck Github for changing master.

Not quite the same meaning, as master/slave is forced, whereas dom/sub there's implied consent.

Also, pretty sure most companies would not be OK with the sex reference, which is just a bonus!

Signed! I recall reading a guide thinking "I'll sign later" - I just clicked Sign the initiative here, accepted their terms, signed in with my country's eID, clicked OK, done.

Less than a minute of work! Surprisingly smooth!

Smarter than Zork, worse than a human. Faster response times than humans though.

Dune I and II were in development in parallel. One of them was cancelled (don't remember which one), but they forgot to tell the company, IIRC.

Warcraft 1 came after Dune (and Blizzard were big fans, IIRC), either way. It enabled multi-selection (based on spreadsheet programs, IIRC).

and occasionally Google translate

deepl.com is a decent alternative, if you want to replace Google Translate

I'm going to toot my own horn here, because I hate these lists, because it does not show you a clear order in which to learn things.

This svg is a dependency graph of most, if not all, Programming/Math related courses from MIT, which means the leftmost courses are dependencies for those to the right. The lines are the dependencies. They are color coded for your convenience.

I made this because I tried to follow a course I was missing dependencies for, where I found out most courses have dependencies and this provides a nice overview of what you'd need to learn to get to the point you want to reach.

Elohim (one of his several names; I like this one, because it betrays his Canaanitic roots) is one of several Canaanitic gods, which makes a lot more sense than him being the only god yet him being jealous of other gods (that don't exist).

Edit: El was also portrayed as a calf, which makes the worshipped golden calf make a lot more sense in the story of Israels formation. What does not make sense is the pre-Israelites going to a land they already lived in, historically speaking

 

Ladybird, the browser from SerentityOS, now has a non-profit behind it! The guy in the video is not Andreas, but Chris Wanstrath (former CEO from Github), and he's pumping some financial backing into this non-profit.

I for one am happy we're getting an alternative to the Chrome/Firefox duality we're stuck with.
