We’ve got some strong Star Trek nonsense brewing in !tenforward@lemmy.world

I don’t care if it catches on, I’m enjoying it here where the people are still awesome.

I certainly hope so. It’s been great seeing PopOS and Linux Mint pushing the bar on what a good linux desktop experience can be.

I’d love to see Linux become a stronger competitor to macos (which is what I’ve used for almost 20 years).

Adium was awesome, that was the golden age of computing and the internet in my opinion.

I miss Adium, I used it for a bunch of protocols, and I customized the CSS/html to make it look really awesome.

I had an app called snakeskin or something to skin my Mac OS X to be dark themed.

Same here, was on Reddit since 2010.

I remade an account because some of my communities aren’t big enough here. But the quality of interaction through the fediverse is much much better.

For sports, Reddit has utterly ruined them because in the app they show the results for every F1 Grand Prix as soon as the race finishes in an unremovable “trends” tile. I often can’t watch live, and so I had almost every race this season spoiled.

I don’t agree, the longer I’ve been here the more familiar usernames I see, so to me it’s been improving.

Is there evidence of this happening?

And if so, I think I would just plug it into an old router via ethernet with no external connectivity.

Yeah I remember when they rolled that out… it does not give me hope for the future of privacy.

Canada needs to really ramp up our privacy laws, I’m not crazy about GDPR specifically, but there needs to be something more substantial here.

Correct

Never connect your tv to the internet.

Hey boss, I’m logging this ticket as tech debt. We need to take this on to hit our marketing deadline, and as soon as the project is over we need two scrum cycles to resolve it.

Two years later…

This ticket has been open forever, can we just delete it since nobody is ever going to clean this up? It’s messing up our velocity metric.

How did GRRM get rich again?

oh yeah he sold books he worked on for decades, totally the same WB.

It’s a separate but adjacent problem.

No school should ever be allowed to take the doors off bathroom stalls.

That just seems to be the alternative that don’t places are doing to deal with kids congregating in the bathroom to vape.

I think your take is too far. It’s just beyond reasonable.

If a teacher were outside the room and heard a loud crash, they’d go investigate. This is doing the same thing.

It isn’t identifying individuals, it doesn’t record any information about a person, it simply flags that somebody is breaking the rules and is worth taking a look.

This is about the least invasive technological solution you could get.

And it’s a heck of a lot better than alternatives like removing the stall doors.

Do kids prefer to not have doors then? Because I’m reading a lot of messed up headlines where the school removes the stall and bathroom doors and kids lose their privacy.

I’d rather have the TV with an alert than have to do competitive pooping.

macOS installs a recovery partition and hides it from you so you can always restore it.

I think the firmware boots you into a macOS mode so you can always recover your macOS system, but when you finished installation Linux may have nuked it.

I’m not an expert though, I’ve just been using Mac’s for 15+ years and have had to reformat several over the years.

I’ve never installed Linux as the primary OS before.

The second most important thing about vim to learn is:

If nothing is behaving then you probably have caps lock on.

You can always alias > to < in your shell.
