Always gonna note too that Google Chrome (and chromium + derivatives to a lesser extent) kneecaps adblock plugins so that up to 50% fewer ad domains are blocked, blocklists are out of date, many in-page ads can’t be caught, it’s slower, and invisible trackers can bypass it.
While I am usually resistant to change, I remain ever vigilant to try not be that XKCD guy
It’s already been proven that piracy is a causal factor in more sales. Any self-interested dev should be promoting piracy of their game.
Windows -> Fedora
Been almost 10 years and no thoughts of changing. What can I say? I lucked out first time.
The only download software I used was the DownThemAll Firefox extension, which has always been real good. It works on all sites I’ve tried it with, it’s a very customisable interface, I don’t really know what you mean by not copy-pasting links but you don’t gotta do that.
You’re not likely to find an exact copy of the software for another OS, wine probably is your best bet if you just want IDM in Linux form.
In Europe, these blocks are typically just IP bans, so secure DNS no helpy. You need a VPN or other proxy.
Is it possible to… boot into a LUKS in a LUKS?
For techy people, sure. But in 90% of cases, people moving from Windows are looking for as little a paradigm-shift as they have to endure. I’m sure most regular Linux-users wouldn’t disagree that other distros are cool, but telling someone “use this thing it’s literally nothing like anything you know” is not going to get many takers from the population of people who just want their tech to do everyday stuff.
Websites worked fine before ads, and they would work well again without them. Doubly so now that crowdfunding is a common method to support things people actually want.
Honestly as a power user for 10 years I very, very rarely come across a time it’s a good idea to touch anything outside the home directory.
FWIW, if you’re in Europe, you have guaranteed rights to refund online purchases within a timeframe. I’m assuming they’ve factored that in, but worth knowing if not.
In fairness, I did quite like the suggestion to just remove division and subtraction! One that should be taken to heart :)
A fair criticism. Though I think the hating on PEDMAS (or BODMAS as I was taught) is pretty harsh, as it very much does represent parts of the standard of reading mathematical notation when taught correctly. At least I personally was taught its true form was a vertical format:
B
O
DM
AS
I’d also say it’s problematic to rely on calculators to implement or demonstrate standards, they do have their own issues.
But overall, hey, it’s cool. The world needs more passionate criticisms of ambiguous communication turning into a massive interpration A vs interpretation B argument rather than admitting “maybe it’s just ambiguous”.
TL;DR: It’ll use a new, more secure key type.
Great, that tactic worked for you. That tactic does not work for all children, or households.
And if your children just steadfastly refused to eat rice or beans? For hours. Every day? And you didn’t have the spare time or energy to work out a cheap and healthy food solution because you have a chronic illness and you’re working 12 hours a day to afford a roof?
Not denying your experience at all, but don’t deny others’ experiences either. I’ve lived through periods of it as a kid, and seen it as an uncle; there certainly are struggles that can make that kind of lifestyle effectively impossible for hardworking and loving parents to achieve.
I grew up in a povertous household that had the exact meal you describe about 300 days out of the year. Sure - If you’re used to making your own meals, this is fine.
But to a lot of people this will still be a lot of time, thought and energy they don’t feel able to give. And a lot of people who never learned cooking skills will feel daunted by it. If you’re dealing with a lot of stress at work and/or chaos at home, you’ll easily forget to turn off the baking and burn the whole dinner. It’s complex when compared to most of these products which are “open, (optionally microwave/add milk/etc) and eat.”
Without meat or copious cheese you’ll also start running low on protein, prompting need to complicate your dishes further by exploring weird foods you’ve never heard of or know how to prepare, like chickpeas.
I agree that kind of recipe is a good and relatively easy meal in the grand scheme of meals, but unfortunately it’s just rarely that straightforward.
I think ‘foresaw his wife’s pained death, choked her out in a fit of rage on a lava planet, lost consciousness, then woke up and immediately learned she had died (which was true by then)’ is a bit more convincing evidence his kids didn’t make it than ‘someone lied to him’.
As a daily Fedora user, this is annoying. I totally support the push for open-source, but enabling RPM Fusion on new installs to do standard stuff is a royal pain in the butt that will immediately turn off new users.
