I'd take it. Truly mastering any single skill is almost certainly beyond my ability anyway.

I'm only okay at some things so being okay at all things is a total win.

This breaks things like Whoogle that used the JavaScript-less api to pull search results.

I do not know who I am. I do not know why I am here. All I know is that I must kill.

Democracies around the world rightly shouldn't tolerate the blatant corruption and manipulative business practice of American tech companies.

If we're talking Two Towers I want to save the f-bomb for when Aragorn tosses Gimli at Helms Deep. Gimli just roars "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck!" as he flies through the air.

I was a teenage boy at the time so I was an asshole about everything. The trumpet was just one tool in my arsenal of ways to bother people.

I played trumpet but I was a real asshole about it so this feels justified.

I've been using Bazzite too. It's kind of so stable it's boring.

I want a tall skinny duck with a long neck tie and a short fat duck with a wide bow tie.

If you're not planning to use COSMIC once it releases you might consider switching distros in the long run to something else. Maybe Kubuntu?

Otherwise it seems like the big effort to deliver COSMIC should be a one-time thing and I assume Pop will resume a more normal release schedule once that move is done, so you shouldn't have to wait so long the next time around.

Mostly infrastructure as code with folks installing software natively on their windows host (terraform, ansible, powershell modules, but we also do some NPM stuff too). I'm trying to get people used to running a container instead of installing things on their host so I don't have to chase people down when they run commands using the wrong version or something.

What keeps you on Pop_OS if you're using KDE?

I've been really trying to push for more usage of dev containers at my org. I deal with so much hassle helping people install dependencies and deal with bizarre environment issues. And then doing it all over again every time there is turnover or someone gets a new laptop. We're an Ops team though so it's a real struggle to add the additional complexity of running and troubleshooting containers on top of mostly new dev concepts anyway.

To deploy a docker container to a Windows host you first need to install a Linux virtual machine (via WSL which is using Hyper-V under the hood).

It's basically the same process for FreeBSD (minus the optimizations), right?

Containers still need to match the host OS/architecture they are just sandboxed and layer in their own dependencies separate from the host.

But yeah you can't run them directly. Same for Windows except I guess there are actual windows docker containers that don't require WSL but if people actually use those it'd be news to me.

I learned to write scripts on Windows Powershell and got spoiled by everything being an object so when I started writing bash scripts I think 90% of the work is trying to parse the raw text output of commands with things like awk or sed.

Microsoft has weird rules with OEMs about selling the same hardware without a Windows license. This might be a way around it.

Guys will see this and just be like "Hell yeah."

1440p at 120Hz+ is superior to 4k 60Hz and is much more achievable for most hardware anyway. That's the sweet spot in my opinion.

For media 4k is a pretty big upgrade from 1080p though.

Municipal governments go where the people are.

People need to leave Twitter, that's the real problem.

The Internet has always been cross pollinating like this. People share content across various communities and screenshots are more permanent and easy than live links that might break, get deleted or require an account to view.

I don't think it's something that can be solved. Stuff gets copied and compressed and reposted and screenshot again and experiences digital rot.
