Well, yes. But this time they mean it. It’s completely different.

Um, so did they say what blender it was?

Up to date and stable. Best of both worlds.

I’ve run OpenSuSE and then Tumbleweed for a while (as in years, now) on a variety of devices (including nVidia) with no real issues. It’s been by far the most solid of the distributions I’ve used since I started using Linux in the '90s.

It’s always been for USeR binaries. It’s the first time I’ve seen this bizarre backronym (40 years of Unix here).

I don’t think he thought that one through.

Oh well, maybe next time. Or not.

You haven’t really won until everyone is in jail.

That’s what a ligature is. Combining two characters so they don’t clash.

Did they Google windows error messages?

Commercial software compatibility has always been poor. It’s a classic way of locking users in.

A lot of people (regardless of age) have a very fuzzy idea (if at all) of what a file or a directory is. They wouldn’t know a operating system if it sat on their face.

The only way to get them to use Linux is to switch the system on their computers. And they’ll probably manage just fine(after a bit of initial grumpiness), since most interfaces are pretty much the same anyway.

But they’re never going to change on their own.

They’re in Linux now, it should show the shortcuts they’ll encounter everywhere. Not leftovers from another system.

But it’s got blockchain!

(does that actually still get any vc excited nowadays?)

It’s not that simplle or user friendly when none of the usual shortcuts work. C-a did something completely unexpected.

The first time I found myself in nano was when testing a distro fifteenor twenty years ago. I had to edit some files and it was the only available editor. The damn thing was a horror to use. I still have no idea who it caters to. I haven’t had to use it since though.

Are those Windows only?

That’s what many people hope for. But then it’s the US, so anything goes.

The constitution says that you can only do it once a year. Which makes sense as you have to deal with the stupid decisions you make.

Only in the colonies, so that was allowed!

I expect that as a random US person, coming onto a native, you have at least spent some university time on European political systems to have some arguments?

1. the constitution doesn’t allow for another election
2. there’s actually never been such a situation in this constitution (yes, our constitutions are just laws, not gods given sacred scrolls, so we change them whenever they’re no longer adequate), and the current politicians cannot fathom working without a majority (although that was typical in the third and fourth republic, and in a lot of the other euro countries)
3. the president wants a so called “technical” government that will just do as it’s told while the chambers fight among themselves

And yes, it’s a shitshow. Shall we go back to how you’re about to elect an insane game show host along with a guy that’s had half his brain eaten by a worm?
