This is why I specified “nearly” the worst. It can absolutely get the job done and has basically every tool you’d need to do the job, but it’s pretty much the worst amongst the “this will do everything you need” options.

My thought process was abacus < pen & paper < text file < spreadsheet < database solutions

I’ve been listening to The Barenaked Ladies & Great Big Sea a lot the last week, with a little Infinite Taverns mixed in.

It was only a matter of time until the kings of human misery came out with one.

You could run empires on the back of a spreadsheet.

You absolutely shouldn’t, it’s nearly the worst option you have available, but you could.

Zypper (openSUSE’s package manager) is what I use for installing programs and its relatively easy. Find the package name on openSUSE.org, then put “sudo zypper in [package-name]” into the terminal.

Away down south in the land of traitors…

Maritime Horrors is great, but for the same vibes as him I also watch Brick Immortar and Big Old Boats from time to time.

And if you’re into mode sky boats then Green Dot Aviation is your guy

I want to make a comment about poutine for Canada. A lot of places do poutine as “fries, cheese, gravy, done”, which never does it justice.

1. You have to use cheese curds, not anything else. A lot of places will use shredded cheese or mozzarella, and it never works out the same.

2. Bland fries = bland poutine. If your fries are just a normal russet potato with a bit of salt, it’ll probably be alright but not great. Some of the best poutines I’ve ever had have used seasoned potato wedges as a base, usually with “New Potatoes” (the variety name) instead of russets as the base.

3. Use more gravy. However much you think you’ll need, use more. Just trust me on this one.

I don’t agree with this, I’m just a nerd on Tumbleweed

Not the guy your responding to and I 100% get your frustration, but I want to provide a little anecdote.

Back in November, I built a new desktop to replace my 7 year old one and put OpenSUSE on it. No matter what I tried, I could not get either Bluetooth or WiFi working. I tried updating drivers, restarting controllers, reinstalling the OS, replacing the OS with Mint. Nothing worked.

I did a lot of searching over the next few days, and it turned out that my motherboard was so new that it’s built in WiFi chip did not have Linux drivers yet. Like at all.

Most products aren’t created with Linux in mind, so compatibility isn’t a concern. It’s up to the community to create patches & drivers to make things work, and it can take a bit to get things working.

I’m genuinely sorry you had the experience you did, but I hope that if you do return to Windows that you’ll give Linux another try in the future. Search your products to see if others have had issues, along with potential solutions, before you dive in.

Stardew Valley. Have my own little farm and just ignore the goings on.

I prefer π = 3.14 ± 0.14. Add a little chaos.

I do not envy you.

I have written 5 shell scripts ever, and only 1 of them has been more complex than “I want to alias this single command”

I can’t imagine being an actual shell dev

I’d ask what some of her favourite moments were.

I found with my grandparents that they’d focus on the smaller things as they aged. Sure, they could talk about the major events but they actually liked talking about the little things.

My grandmother (who is best described as an eccentric matriarch) would tell stories about how she changed her general store to one ~10 km further away because the closer one “didn’t serve poor people” (she’d tell the full story of why every time).

She died at ~77. I can only imagine what moments she’d have in her heart if she had lived to 108.

As a leftist, I resent that

My sibling ran into this issue once. I’m not sure if it’s a setting or a default, but vscode would assume they were working in a blank repo until they made a commit.

Sounds like this person had the project (without source control) in another IDE, tried out VSCode, and it assumed that it was all ‘changes’. I don’t use VSCode, do I can’t say for certain, but I know my sibling lost ~4 hours of project set up for the same reason (though they immediately realized it was their fault).

That’s basically how I did it.

To properly learn it using this method, create a directory that contains only text files and sub directories and treat it like a real project. Add files, delete them, play around with updating the repository. Try and go back a few updates and see how the things react. Since it’s not a real project there’s no risk of loss, but you’ll still get to see the effects of what you do.

I spent the last 6 months working on a feature. Found out 2 weeks before release that it was being postponed.

Came here to write advertising. Your product should speak for itself.

Landlording, however, is not an occupation. They’re just parasites who’ve convinced people it is.
