You’re gonna end up with a shitty society then. I’m one sane person who could agree which invalidates your conclusion

You can do what you want but it’s not nothing: it costs six keystrokes every time (seven, counting shift for tilde)

Cunningham's Law in action lol

White potatoes are in the middle but French fries (I’m assuming fried? But you can bake them too) are at the bottom, so strange

Also based on that list, I think salsa might be the perfect mix: low cal and high satiety

The most interesting section on distrowatch for me is the top reviewed distros.[0] It shows what the hard-core Linux users are (at least) appreciating, if not using.

N.B. It has nothing to do with popularity (number of users)

He’s just doing it the Android way, separate user accounts for each application/binary.

The one critical thing with running as root in my mind is clobbering some storage in /dev.

Elsewhere in this thread the benefits are described , and im really curious if Linux could get a proper SAS/SAK working (your root password would only ever be entered into your trusted system login UI)

Right now it’s $2500/year unless you have more than 100 servers, each server thereafter would be $25 on top of $2500.

It’s most likely because the costs of doing any business with other businesses isn’t worth it with a $25 minimum.

I hope they get some feedback and reduce the minimum, but I completely understand the rationale.

They really should have renamed it systemd-files five years ago, it might have let the user know it wasn’t just purging tmp

A similar mouse/trackpad-based window manager: https://deniz.co/penc/

I know you mentioned desktop in the end but it’s funny you got this exactly backwards- almost every Linux on a computer is either gentoo (chromebooks) or red hat/clone of red hat (servers)

When I was checking out the grav flat-file CMS, they had a recommendation for PaaS (php as a service)

Has there been any store in the history of stores that didn’t have advertising though? News has half the stories being corporate PR anyway, stocks app I’m not familiar with but it’s another version of a store.

I feel these are pretty benign uses of advertising on their platform(s):

- Apple TV shows ads about shows and movies

- iOS tells you about system upgrades to help battle the constant inevitable security issues

- Mac OS tells you about the latest Mac OS if you’re not running the latest Mac OS

And I can’t think of any other ads Apple has sent my way.

The tragedy of Wikipedia is that something like 3,000 people in the entire world are active editors (>100 edits)

You don’t live your life exclusively for you after you have kids, I think

Wouldn’t it be like everything else, default keyboard shortcuts that can be easily overridden? Personally I hope they go with rectangle’s CTRL+OPT just because it’s seared into my muscle memory now

Check out https://sideloadly.io to ease that pain

Orion Browser does something similar, I wonder if they make enough or if it’s subsidized by Kagi search?

Gell-Mann Amnesia effect but for software instead of journalism

It’s also in Safari and I’m guessing Edge as well. It’s not a big deal, I just get surprised by Firefox the first time I try to open a private window

I recall reading on HN that road wear (and therefore tire wear) is a fourth power of the weight on the axle. So a little bit more is a lot more.

Edit: I’m too late, already noted by Sparkle-san below

I bet most cars are used most times in traffic, hence the traffic. Although you can try to get through it avoiding the brakes, ’round here if you leave any kind of gap ahead of you, you’re gonna be slamming on the brakes instead of gradually braking every other minute. Also the extra weight in stop/start conditions can’t be ignored; it takes a lot of energy to get moving from a stop.

This is a popular misconception according to the askhistorians faq. I don’t think you’ve ever had beer either, thinking that you could possibly replace water with it.

I always joked around that Firefox made the incognito shortcut CTRL-Shift-P for Porn mode

(I really wish they followed the “standard” keyboard shortcut)

Don’t they usually try at least to have a domain that sorta looks like the original? It’s not like they use phishing.bigbank.abc.xyz - the domain isn’t supposed to look suspicuous

Something very interesting: I live in southern Ontario and when I randomly opened up reddit.com in a private Firefox window the night before last (testing a low ram VM, needed some heavy js site) the top of the homepage was a sticky post from that subreddit. For hours. It didn’t even have that many votes or comments but it was stuck at post #1 somehow

Another article on HN previously showed that while sales aren’t down, number of visits are.

Kind of the motto of the 2020s: people spending the same but getting less

And again... are you getting all your info from the subreddit by chance?

Some people on reddit are upset with Loblaws

Everyone else is just checking the weekly specials and shopping where the deals are, Loblaws stores included, if they give a shit about grocery prices at all.

Their margins actually did go up but it’s kinda hilarious when you see it — they’re squeaking out ~3% these days while it was a razor thin 1.x% before.

Yup that’s an extra buck fitty on your $100 of groceries
