Sad but unsurprising to see a bona fide member of the working class downvoted for pointing out that some of the popular rhetoric is pointlessly divisive and does nothing to help the working class.

Many of todays activists seem to be doing anything but actually helping the various communities they are oh so eager to bully people on behalf of.

That's pretty cool

I absolutely fail to see the utility of having a user called Bob and bob, or a dir called Downloads and downloads. Capitalisation makes sense in code - at a glance I can know I'm looking at a Class or a var, but for system administration it has only ever wasted time, and not once made anything easier.

Obligatory FUTO keyboard recommendation. I liked Swiftkey - but not enough to defend the idea of an online keyboard.

I can see the use case, and that some people might find this useful (not to mention many agencies and ad companies). But enough was enough, for me at least. Linux Mint rocks. Can't see myself going back to Windows.

After seeing this thread, and the Linux wallpaper engine repo, I think I'm gonna boot into Windows and record wallpapers I like as videos, then set them as backgrounds in linux. I'm gonna be on x11 until cinnamon updates to waylan

I wonder what the source of the RTS conventions was. Ctrl num for making groups. Double press to centre on group. X for scattering units. A to stop them. Pretty sure these predate C&C but the only one before that I can think of is dune.

Not exactly advanced, but I missed the super+P shortcut when switching from desk and monitor to sofa and TV. Made a couple of one line shell scripts that call Xrandr then bound them to keyboard shortcuts.

He was part of giant bomb - video game podcast, videos and website. He became the "blinking white guy" meme.

Seems like a cool guy - super chill and constantly curious.

 
 
 

We're going through this show again, for the first time for us since it was aired. And this episode (Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space') was a real stand out. Haven't laughed this hard in a long time.

 
 
 
 
 

Haven't done this before. I wanted to get these posts into /c/theyknew, is this the way?
