I’d like to agree. But I’m stuck with Windows at work. At the moment, our IT guys upgrade a couple of PCs a day from Win10 to Win11. The GUI sucks, and the complete network is getting slower and slower. I crave the good old DOS times, when the system used to be faster than me.

I stand corrected.

Tell me more.

TIL, thanks.

Salad is called salad because it’s salted - it’s right there in the name. Salt is basically the only required ingredient, and it’s usually missing from tea. Furthermore, the stuff that is salted (and nowadays dressed) to become salad is usually fresh stuff, not dried and fermented.

I’d propose to introduce a pedestrian’s licence, too. Can’t have these people just run around without any proper training!

Well, umbrella literally means “little shadow” and is aptly used as a synonym for parasol in severeal languages. Just because the English misused them to shield against rain does not change the meaning. Or perhaps it does?

While I do explicitely not disagree with you, TDS is more likely to become a totally not made up medical condition suitable for persecuting political opponents developing remedies for affected citizens than MDS.

And no, The Onion is not involved.

If deporting him turns out not to work, perhaps admitting to psychiatry because of Trump Derangement Syndrom would?

IMHO, you cannot apply the UNIX philosophy to a GUI.

I just checked some brands, and you are correct: currently both cost the same.

Not OP, so i’ve got no idea why they think it’s bad, but systemd breaks with unix’s key design principles, and monopolizes and absteacts more and more aspects of system management. Some people do not like this.

Actually there used to be another, more important reason:

Back in the old days, automatic transmissions accelerated pretty slowly. It was not possible to accelerate normally – or what we thought to be normal. No one in their right mind would pay ~5–10 % more (automatic transmissions used to be expensive) to get a lame car and annoy everybody at every traffic light. I don’t know when automatic transmissions got as fast as manual shifting, but this memo hasn’t reached Europe yet.

And, last but not least, and only still valid argument: automatic transmissions are still more expensive than manual ones. Why should I pay extra money for some fancy tech with no extra benefit that takes away my illusion of control and feels horrible to drive?

Nope, that’s not out of Hitler’s playbook, that’s out of Stalin’s. The Nazis killed psychiatric patients and converted hospitals to barracks; they did not fill them.

On work we accumulate a wealth of pesonal notes, forms, links, articles etc. We are strictly forbidden to use USB-Sticks, but the DVD-Burner are still working…

My last DVD was a Knoppix though, just for the fun of it.

Might be wise to not accept the offer of the installer to partition the device in this case. That’s self–evident to anyone who lived through losing data, not so for beginners.

They would look super cool? They do look super cool!

Not the person you responded to, but no.

As long as the US does not fix it’s broken two party system and reconciles it’s divided society it cannot be trusted.

What makes you think the stock market crashing is not his aim?
