neutron,

I didn’t recognize the DKK acronym and thought it was a cryptocurrency for a second.

neutron,

Puppy has saved my ass multiple times. Love that tiny dog.

Speaking of Tails, a security minded user can also try out Qubes as well. It uses virtualization to separate different contexts like Work, Personal, Social, etc. You can have your Work profile connect to your workplace VPN while your Personal profile is on a torified connection in parallel. It does have its drawbacks, however. You need more system resources, and anything that requires direct access to GPU like videogames is not officially supported.

neutron,

Corpo drones will never allow such things. Disney in particular will fight back like a rabid mouse.

neutron,

So we’ll have to say GNU/Linux/SystemD soon?

neutron,

It’s really awkward explaining this joke in other languages.

neutron,

(Eat (soil and leaves)) vs (Eat soil) and (leaves)?

neutron,

Japan is unlocked after NG+. Korea (North and South) is sold separately as DLC.

neutron,

There was a whole mess with that cruise ship docked in Japan being counted as a separate case so it didn’t boost Japan’s confirmed case numbers, probably to save face before the Olympics. Looking back now it was only mental gymnastics.

neutron,

It creeped me how many youtube channels I watched suddenly started pushing it.

neutron,

Let’s wait until 2050s.

neutron,

No problems running on the AMD graphics?

neutron,

Back in the day I used Mod Organizer + F4SE so I could avoid the official launcher and all the bs that came with it.

neutron,

Worst thing about this is that China gets to point fingers and claim racism while all East Asians abroad are lumped in with the CCP collaborators.

neutron,

The Chinese logic is that they have enough domestic market to isolate themselves and shield from international pressure, economical or political. It’s been working for them since their homegrown platforms like wechat and weibo are big enough to sustain themselves.

neutron,

I never liked the normalization of sharing real names online. I always received weird looks for not doing this. The furthest I could do was using an initial.

neutron,

I’m guessing there’s a reduced pool of desktop pc users, thus Linux users are now slightly bigger in proportion? There has been big advances regarding Linux adoption, too.

neutron,

I’ve made the switch over a decade ago. Ubuntu was the gateway drug. I have to use windows at work, but that’s it.

neutron,

Librewolf has AppImage on their webpage, too. Does it not fit your use case?

neutron,

I assume there are more issues preventing them from simply relocating to another hosting?

neutron,

Similar here. I have switched to xfce after struggling with gnome and kde.

neutron,

I used Davmail which acts as a bridge to access Outlook from Thunderbird. There is a thunderbird plugin, but it was paid so I backed out.

neutron,

It can become really messy if one family member deletes a picture by accident and everyone complains. I’d use Syncthing for machines I personally manage.

neutron,

Deltachat is a clever idea that I wish it became more widespread.

neutron,

Nah, just call it retro.

Finally deleted my LinkedIn account!

After putting my account into "hibernation" for the past few weeks, I finally closed it. But I'm still looking for work. Thankfully I can still find positions (SRE and software dev) by just going directly to the company's site and finding a Jobs page.

Good luck to everyone else out there looking for work!

neutron,

Worst of both worlds, the one-upping bootlicking culture, the fear of missing out on job prospects fueled by economic anxiety, with corporate enshittification liberally sprinkled in, all combined into one giant pile of turd.

And I say this as I’m also guilty of having an account on it. I also want to get rid of it, but can’t afford to risk my chances while looking for better jobs. Fuck all this.

neutron,

Assuming that directors post was real, I am sure she wanted to properly grieve for her husband and have enough time to heal and provide for her children, to tie loose ends and close that chapter of her life in privacy.

But all she had was a sanitized corporate billboard where all she knew was to unconsciously make her post into a self congratulatory advertisement, of a heroic single mother sacrificing her mental health for her work.

It’s all tragic.

neutron,

Android not having proper permissions back from KitKat era caused a lot of contact lists being leaked like rainwater. I’m still jaded at Google for that one.

neutron,

I used Opera when it used Presto instead of becoming a yet another chromium. I miss that one.

neutron,

It’s better to be proactive than being reactive. Take preventive measures that fit your threat model.

neutron,

It can be argued that most of the different meanings arise from different contexts and how the speakers associate that particular word to different uses. When an English speaker uses the word save, it can mean either “save a person from danger”, “save a computer file”, and many others, which can have different meaning-translations to other languages.

neutron,

Grammatical genders are just that. Grammatical. It’s a classification scheme. Latin had neutral nouns and plenty of languages make grammatical differences between animate and inanimate nouns. That current romance languages make a deliberate division between “male” and “female” nouns does not mean they have to correspond to actual features of human beings.

That being said. It’s ridiculous that agua is femenine but with the definite article it has to be el agua in singular but las aguas in plural. All the explanations by RAE simply amounts to “we like it this way, lolol”.

neutron,

Why. Just why? It’s just you French and your obsession for…

la silla vs el asiento (Spanish)

Fuck.

neutron,

Somone has to come up with the word chairdude. And some corporate bean counter will invent the word chairhuman to show how diverse they are.

neutron,

Same in Spanish. We can say programadores (male gender plural form) to refer to a group of programmers, regardless of gender, as the standard says. However, in recent years it’s become common to say programadores y programadoras (male plural and female plural) or programadoras y programadores (female plural and male plural). Using only the male gender causes many people to complain, or so I’ve heard.

neutron,

The old lady was a huge asshole. That’s the problem. And being in Paris.

neutron,

Meanwhile in CJK languages we just chill and say 9 x 10 + 7. Why doesn’t everyone do that?

neutron,

Specifically in the case of Japanese language, the current orthography highly depends on the use of kanji to remove ambiguities from a purely phonetic notation in either kana system.

As a side note, Korean language also used to be written with hanja (Chinese characters) mixed in with hangul (native phonetic alphabet). The shift from mixed hangul-hanja notation to pure hangul was gradual and the major contribution that made it possible was the modernized orthography rules that allows visual differentiation of homophones when written down while adding some complexity. It’s not perfect, but it works.

So, while many argue that kanji is essential to Japanese or hanja needs to be reintroduced in Korean for examples cited, I think the definitive reason is that the japanese speakers themselves doesn’t feel the overwhelming need to switch right now. If they chose to introduce a purely kana orthography and had enough funding and political will, that’s how they will roll.

neutron,

The circles? You mean ㅇ? It’s a component (consonant ieung) letter and indicates either:

  • no sound before syllable’s vowel: 나 [na] - 아 [a]
  • final sound [ŋ] at the end of a character block, placed at bottom: 앙 [aŋ]
neutron,

Emails like user@cocaine.ninja is fine for random internet shitposting, but if I had to use cockmail for anything involving real life responsibilities I’d go for domains like airmail.cc or firemail.cc at registration.

neutron,

Malicious compliance mixed with “let’s see you click all that shit”. I don’t think the devs wanted to implement this…

neutron,

Kojima gone, Konami bad, usual rant - I’m glad for David reprising his role once again, if anything.

That being said, Snake’s saga is long over. Shouldn’t they try testing new waters with a continuation of Metal Gear Rising as well?

neutron,

Talk to anyone in latin america, you must use whatsapp. There’s no avoiding it. Some have tried Telegram a while ago, but most have reverted back to their usual whatsapp or facebook messenger. It’s crazy.
