That's what every company/organization I've ever worked for has done. Oh, this intranet tool works okay and no one is complaining. Lets redo it in a "modern" style... (adds whitespace and truncates every meaningful text field so you have to mouseover and scroll for miles to read any of them even on a 4k display).
I think part of why Reddit succeeded initially was because it had some very KEY strengths/advantages. I would say that the old design and the URL scheme are part of that. It fit any screen nicely from phone though 4k TV, portrait displays, whatever. It was a simple design, but extensible by custom CSS and if you knew what you wanted, you could skip straight there by typing r/ or u/ in your URL. Enough reminiscing, if old reddit is gone,I don't know if I'll even be able to use reddit at all for anything. New reddit is one of those interfaces, like twitter, that never really made sense or worked for me. I'm just a Lemmy guy I guess.
I live in the US and have contracted security for events before. Most of them are just an unarmed visual deterrent wearing a uniform and a big walkie talkie (you called it!). Around here armed security is often off-duty police officers making a little extra money off the clock.
Most airports do it like this, but I've been to places hat need a transit visa just to get to your next flight. Odds are you are correct for a US connection.
Agreed. Learned this the hard way with my portable 4g router. It's the pickiest gadget I own with cord and plug selection and it left me hanging when I really needed it and I don't carry an A to C cord often. I wish I could find a good alternative to the Netgear Nighthawk M1100
Longtime java player with a decent PC and I always played with cartoony texture packs and saved the high res textures and shaders for screenshots. Still encountered my fair share of server-side lag, but that'd the price of multiplayer. Glad to see Java isn't getting left behind. I play on Linux and couldn't play otherwise.
I'm relieved that people are so into labeling even if they don't understand it. You can't become informed without information.
Not surprised at the stupidity. People are dumb, selfish, and entitled. Americans are a great example, but it's not only Americans. We just did the speed running version.
I know several people who run through the house screaming "Siri, where are you?" Does this not work on Android? This is a serious question because I don't really use voice assistants.
It might be a dumb question, but how does it have it's own OS like a NAS, or is it basically a box attached to the host and everything is done via software? I encountered some confusion between enclosures, DAS, USB array and some of the other terms I was seeing.
Huh, I hadn't heard of CachyOS. It seems like everyone went Arch>Manjaro>EndeavorOS. It looks good from the screenshots and I like seeing my favorite DE/WMs in there. If I don't know what any of those acronyms and technical terms on their page mean, would I still get something out of it? I'm about due for my every-few-months wipe and reinstall.
We've been on similar journeys. I started with Ubuntu Warty Warthog and happily remember all the desktop effects lost to time (emerald window decorations anybody?). I went through a Windows phase and settled back into Linux. My newest epoch is the age of self hosting and I've been learning a lot especially since the advent of Lemmy. I also play games, but I've been using a fully segregated Windows PC for that, though I've used Linux in the past.
The last time someone asked this question a lot of people said Mint packages are too out of date. I love Mint, I used Mint for several years, but the graphic driver stuff seems to depend on being very up to date. Someone else could probably explain it better than me. Perhaps it's not relevant anymore, but I would look into it.
As for KDE, it's really good now. I used to cling HARD to Gnome back in the old days and really disliked KDE, but things really got shaken up and KDE has been absurdly good for a few releases now. The steam deck even uses it. Also, a lot more distros seem to have releases for more than one desktop environment now. I guess what I'm trying to say is stuff you used to like may suck now and stuff that used to suck could be S-tier. Good luck getting back into Linux. Don't get discouraged. It's gotten a lot easier since old timers like us were hacking around on Ubuntu in the early 2000s.
My Colorado Comrades in corporate environments take the time. I've seen a number of guys go out on Paternity since we enacted paid paternity leave in our state. It's legally protected, we fought and voted for it. If your boss doesn't like it they can eat shit and die because it's your right. Your family is more important than some corporate nonsense.
This is one of my partner and my biggest conflict points.
Like Gollum, she lives in the darkest, gloomiest basement, keeps the shades shut and only wants dim, warm amber light in the insufficient and poorly located light receptacles.
I on the other hand want to see what I'm doing and will open every window, tune the lights to the most white-hot, surface-of-the-sun white, and half the time I'm sitting in my hammock on the patio so I can feel the warm sunshine and get the omnidirectional sunlight. I'd like to set up her basement with some light tunnels and better lighting fixtures at some point.
This is probably not a universal experience, but buttons are often faster. Not a car example, but my Garmin Venu watch was a touchscreen and it sucked compared to my Garmin Fenix which is 100% button controlled. I also type way faster on a tactile thumb board than an on screen keyboard.
