Both are so stupid and I still chuckle every time I see those.

And now Bob next door pushes his shit first and you have an extra hour fixing conflicts.

It’s like that in other democracies too. It’s like analysists about the markets. They all know jack-shit but need to report something to justify their existence in media. The outcome is usually close enough to make them stay but never quite the actual result.

I have the chaotic neutral setup and the open notebook as a third monitor. Does that resolve to true neutral too?

Thanks. I did not need to know that. Oh well, off to more headbanging then.

That’s actually not that rare when I work later than usual. Some stupid problem my brain is too fried to solve. Eventually I give up, feeling defeat for the whole evening and solve the problem in 10 mins the next morning. Get enough sleep, people.

While true, businesses have it even harder to migrate to Linux (what else is there when talking enshittification?) than private users. Windows and dotnet won’t go anywhere anytime soon.

It’s probably a tiny fraction of the C#/dotnet ecosystem. But hobbyist meme creators mostly care about games, I guess.

According to my recruiter, you code on a whiteboard.

That and the other good thing: no distro will make decisions that are even in the ballpark of insanity of those by big tech corps.

Emphasis on medieval though. Muslims can drive lambos, they can also arrive in this millennium on other topics.

Roundabouts need more space than a regular crossing and there are buildings on all four corners here.

“Lit up like a Christmas tree” - yeah, at 4 µSv per hour. So you’d have to swim there for just about 4000 hours to get the equivalent of a full body CT scan.

balks at the cost of opening a nuclear powerplant without significant government guarantees and subsidies, that should tell you something.

It tells of sane business, yes. The German government is completely unreliable with regards to nuclear power. Remember, a CDU chancellor eventually shut them down - the supposed right party that used to fight for prolonged lifetime of the plants. Any sane businessperson would request legal safety before making a huge investment that only pays off over decades.

I don’t understand the hostility

Possibly a German Green. They are hostile like that towards nuclear. Ironically that made the German Green Party effectively a coal party (they don’t like to hear that).

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for example runs Ricochet Anti-Cheat on kernel level which fundamentally contradicts Linux architecture and will never run.

Easy Anti-Cheat is an example where the devs gave in paving the way to a proton addon which allows you to play Apex, for example.

I had an iPhone 12 for two weeks before I returned it. I tried to like it because, while you’re still in a corp walled garden and they cannot really be trusted, they so far are better than Google at least with regards to privacy.

However, there’s a list of stuff that got me too annoyed. Some examples:

• the stock keyboard is just garbage. All the infamous typos on social media come from iPhones because they choose to correct words that have already been written. You also cannot sensibly replace the stock keyboard because you cannot block a specific app’s data usage and keyboards are far too critical apps to grant internet access.
• stock apps are good overall (better than Android) but that means people don’t make replacements. The mail app could’ve been great but they choose to not support PGP and it’s practically impossible to set up.
• you cannot replace Safari completely, some apps still open it. Safari is crap because no way to install adblock.
• you still feel that iOS wasn’t developed as a multi-threading system. I had a few apps that wouldn’t correctly work while in background
• apps are far more expensive than for Android. Lots of subscription-based plans, more comparable to full-price PC software than mobile apps.
• no native file system access. Apps are sandboxed and handle their files themselves. I prefer to do that myself but no chance on iOS.
• the community is garbage. Every question or critcisim is the user’s fault. The Holy Corp does not make mistakes. Collective Stockholm syndrome.

I also ran into various bugs. I do on every platform but the “it just works” narrative is especially strong for Apple and it’s just not like their fans claim.

I usually merge because I like to see commit history as it happened and because rebasing multiple commits with conflicts is more time-consuming than fixing it in one merge commit.

I do rebase smaller changes though to reduce merge commit clutter and like interactive rebase to clean up my local commit mess before pushing.
