  • It's not about completely preventing infection, you can still get infected. It's about minimizing the odds of infection and lowering severity when infected, to mitigate transmission as much as possible. It's more about society as a collective and less about the individual. You can ride it out, sure. But if you pass it along to someone who can't, then what?

  • Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the questions though, if you were to forget your password? I answer with nonsense too, just keep it in my password manager or write it down somewhere.

  • I think they're talking moreso about having anything to do at all, not just work. I think we all agree that work can be a drag. But if I didn't need to work to make a living, I'd still be doing things - hobbies, learning new things, whatever. I'd rot away if I just sat on the couch watching tv all day everyday, for example.

  • iirc, the only safe time to look directly at the eclipse is during totality, where the moon has completely blocked the sun. But that's a pretty small window, Dustin from SmarterEveryDay put out a really informative video last month if anyone's interested. He interviews Dr. Telepun who wrote a book on it and made an app that audibly walks you through what's happening during the eclipse in real time, really neat stuff.

  • They've said they're committing to keeping perpetual licensing and are using Canva's resources to speed up development though. So far, seems okay to me. At least for now. Unless anyone knows otherwise?

  • I keep seeing this, and yes, it's running the image of the Linux community. Even for me who's part of it.

    "Help, Windows problem."

    "Linux is the answer."

    "But I want to use Windows."

    "Then you're a stupid ingrate who's below me and deserve nothing good in your life."

    Do you hear yourselves? I'm exaggerating, but come on guys. You're better than this, good grief.

  • Listen I'm all for Linux and use it myself, but this is not the way to get people to switch. Even I'm starting to get annoyed by all the answers in these threads being "Just switch to Linux, there are definitely no problems and it's a 1:1 workflow." (Yes, hyperbole. But you get the idea.) If a user has an issue and does not want, or cannot, switch to Linux, then Linux is not the solution.

    You're not wrong. They're still stuck in the "abusive relationship" with MS. In fact you're absolutely right. But trying to push Linux onto these people like this only results in their view of Linux getting worse, and makes them more likely to stay on Windows to avoid the insufferable Linux users. It's coming from a good place, but it's honestly not helping. Every solution needs to consider the user's use case and their parameters, or else it doesn't matter. In the end what you're saying is not wrong at all, but you're still not offering the right solution.
