Found the morality relativist.

Except at that point the Mafia are somehow supposedly the good guys?

Anyone who hits enter on a dd command without triple-checking it gets exactly what they deserve.

Good to know, thanks.

Whatsapp is encrypted. The problem is the Metadata they want - i.e. your whole address book.

I do not agree to Facebook having my phone number, but if you use WA and have my number, they have it, too - even if I don’t use WA myself.

If you can convince your family to switch, use Signal or Matrix.

Otherwise, use Shelter on your phone with a limited, WA-ony address book.

Well, it works well for some people.

Once you get used to it, it can be a dang powerful tool. For people doing a lot of config-wrangling on the CLI (i.e. admins working a lot ovet SSH), overcoming the learning curve will pay dividends.

If you’re working mostly locally and in a GUI environment environment, it’s probably not worth it - there’s a reason most devs use more specialized IDE’s.

Midnight Commander has been around for ages. It’s a straight ripoff/homage to the original Norton Commander, a full-fledged file manager and a godsend on week-kneed machines (like old netbooks).

I’m aware.

I just didn’t want to go into detail with this particular can of worms.

A landlord and their tenant(s) are at a natural conflict of interest to begin with.

Also, for most tenants, the rising costs for many goods and services associated to housing are bundled into rent, so to them, it’s their landlord who’s jacking up prices and being frugal with repairs etc.

Next, the term “landlords” encompasses not only uncle Mike who invested his life savings in two apartments to secure his retirement, but also the millionaire who owns a dozen houses and the middle manager who doesn’t even own the units they’re managing but has to represent a large company.

So landlords make for easy targets of frustration to begin with.

A landlord who is, on top of that, intent on not only covering costs (including their own), but wants to create generational wealth get rich(er) quickly, will have to squeeze their tenants more.

Remember: wealth isn’t created. It’s extracted.

(Yes, there’s money genuinely being generated somewhere in the realms of credits and banking, but my LL isn’t being paid by a bank. They’re being paid by me.)

Games that calculate a lot of pathfinding or similar in the GPU will end in a CPU-melting stutter fairly soon when run on Vulcan.

Satisfactory is a good example or this: It quickly becomes unplayable with any halfway complex setup.

If you’ve got a Linux native version, then you’re fine.

This was actually what got me hooked during university.

Had to plot about 40 txt files of measurement data, was not looking forward to do it one by one with the GUI-based tool I had.

StudyBuddy: “Do you have a Linux on this Laptop”?

Me: “Yeah, set up dual boot a while ago, never really wound up using it.”

StudyBuddy: Boots up Linux, installs gnuplot, types in a one liner.

Computer: Brrrrt. Here’s your 40 plots.

Me: “Okay, I’ve got to start looking into this.”
