Yeah you can. When I upgraded from the then middle tier to the unlimited I just paid the difference pro rata iirc

Honestly this part of the XKCD meme never sat right with me. No self respecting emacs person would ever bind a command to C-x M-c

Meta after Ctrl rubs me the same way languages that use Subject Object Verb order do.

Like, you can do it, but it feels icky.

Also, you’ve gone to the trouble of creating a ‘butterfly’ key. Just use that.

They’re mimicking someone who’s trying to say the word dictionary but ironically lacks the diction to articulate it and instead says ‘wordbook’

It is humorous because of the implication that extreme right wingers ala Fox news and it’s viewers are illiterate hillbillies. They’re not. They’re just insane.

Hey Andy!

I will buy one of your 3x5 dactyl manuform builds if I’m ever in the US! Love your work

I’d argue we’re already there. Once you hit zero it’s not like you zip out of existence. When everyone is poor and has no money, the rich get to hire you and pay you enough to buy their products and keep them comfortable. You’ll never make enough to get out of poverty because it’s designed to keep you there.

Poverty isn’t just about not having money, it’s about never making enough to get out of poverty. When you’re always living paycheck to paycheck, payday loan to payday loan - you’re screwed. The system will never let you out. You’re too profitable in that state to let out.

Think of the boot theory. If I only give you 10 bucks a year, you have to buy the 2 dollar boots every year that last only a year. The moment you made 11 dollars, you could buy the 5 dollar boot that lasts you a decade. The system incentivizes company’s to sell 2 dollar boots cause it makes them more money in the long run, and if the entire world agrees to never pay you more than 10 dollars a year, every company can make that much more money. That’s why your market value is not your fair pay.

The real reason poverty exists is because rich people need a slave class without being directly liable for owning them.

Why should only the minorities that excel deserve a good life?

Why do the mediocre majority get to live a good life while the mediocre minority don’t?

Let people be mediocre and instead we need to make life better for everyone.

I fairly certain you’re a troll, it’s patently obvious on a site like lemmy. Heck I’m even confident you’re going to respond to this because I used a magic keyword, I won’t. This is meant for the normal people reading this

Notice how they said

Not assessed to be criminal

And not

Assesed to be not criminal

Scottish Cops are still Cops I guess

I agree. The recent EU ruling has atleast fixed that problem for EU citizens while the rest of the world catches up.

We were however discussing browsers in the context of desktops in the original thread. On MacOS, other engines are allowed.

Your issue is with apple’s draconian policy on ios, not webkit.

Further, two F1 cars using the same engine can perform vastly differently depending on how they’re tuned and how the car is built. While I do concur that it is criminal to not let us strap a jet engine to the f1 car, doesn’t mean that there aren’t differences between the currently legal cars beyond the coat of paint.

As I mentioned above, it’s quite snappier than safari and even Firefox. It’s clear that they’ve worked on performance.

Hi, not the Original Commenter but an occasional user of Orion.

It is webkit based but has full compatibility for all Firefox and Chrome extensions. Plus in my experience it’s really fast at loading stuff - noticeably so.

It’s being developed by the people behind the Kagi search engine which is also really good

Yeah the “tech tips” distro feels vaguely abusive and toxic

The implication, of course, is that the only way someone stops using Debian is if they die

I think you have a tab problem.

I suggest you try out a 12 step program. Tabaholics Anonymous works.

I agree. I think that’s why nix-os is getting so popular these days.

I love the idea of declarative system builds even beyond just reproducability. The idea that you can essentially make your own distro without much difficulty is really cool.

Plus all the benefits of roll backs, light backups, etc.

Plus if you can dig deep enough you can craft a system that never breaks by pinning certain versions.

One of these days I want to check it out. As well as LFS. Oh but for the want of time.

Yeah, you will invariably remove something crucial haha. The nice thing with arch is that usually you can fix it without too much fuss.

Me learning to use Linux was like teaching a child that can’t feel pain to not touch fire.

I don’t know if that’s a widely recognized term.

Pacman used to be really bad at removing unneeded dependencies. I think pretty much every package manager has this facility now. For instant apt auto remove.

Suppose you installed gnome to try it out, gnome installs like 1000000 packages. The thing about some of those dependencies is that they’re really useful. It’s not uncommon for another package you have installed to use it as an optional dependency. In that case it doesn’t get flagged for autoremoval when you uninstall gnome.

When you apply this logic a couple layers deep they start to compound.

Also libraries and random python scripts tend to just exist forever in your system long after you used it lol.

I started developing the habit of checking what dependencies are being installed and to uninstall immediately when I realize I don’t need it.

This logic applies to language specific managers like cargo or pip too.

They all have really good tooling to figure out leaves, orphaned nodes etc. I just didn’t start using those until I got into the arch hype.

Arch breaking grub has happened to me twice. Second time I couldn’t even recover the install.

You learn a lot of good practices by using arch, eg a separate home partitjon, git repositories for your config files, maintaining a clean package tree etc. Installing Arch is also really useful for noobs like me to learn some Linux basics.

I use Fedora, btw.

Sounds like a skill issue. Some people just don’t know how to use Arch.

Signed,

Someone who has spent more days reinstalling Arch than using it.
