Would you also claim the diesel cars are worthless because you can't use regular gas in them? No, I thought so

Photoshop is trash.

Minecraft works just fine (it's Java for crying out loud)

Steam works natively. Valve's most popular hardware device runs Linux.

Media player classic

You want to use a garbage Windows built-in application on Linux?

without having to deal with work around and terminal garbage as easy as I can windows?

Two things here;

  1. You can get around on Linux without a terminal

  2. The terminal is king in functionality

  3. Windows requires a command line for many things also, this isn't a Linux only thing

If you come to Linux expecting it to work like Windows and run all Windows applications, then you're setting yourself up for failure with bad-faith expectations.

the measles attacked antigen-presenting dendritic cells which interacts with memory b-cells hence the "wiping out the immunity"

And once this happens, a trivial cold can become deadly.

You have Google. It's called immune amnesia, look it up. It's not some fringe theory. It's established science regarding measles.

the majority of influencer videos about linux during that period praised only CachyOS

Proof? Because the majority of ones I saw recommended Mint consistently.

and I bet most of them reverted back to windows

So no proof, just personal biases then.

In English language installs, Linux went up from 7% to 8%. The dip is due to an influx of Chinese users. Happens every year during Lunar New Year.

No it didn't. Most new Linux users are still going with distros like Mint or Bazzite.

Measles has this interesting quirk where it can completely reset a person's immune system. So it's like they never built up immunity to ask the stuff they were exposed to in their life. That's actually the thing that ends up killing people who get it.

That leginkább is actually something that's being researched as a potential way to help people with autoimmune issues.

You had me at "no Node.js"

They've been pushing the thin client for years

I think it's been decades at this point, and I hope it never takes off.

My specific issue is a buried line at some point between my house and the next ISP demark. I did say "all the time", but that was hyperbolic. It only goes down when it rains or when snow is melting, which suggests a cable somewhere is cracked and water gets in and degrades the signal.

It happens maybe once a week in the spring, and is back as soon as I reboot the router.

But your assertion that just because a single person's internet goes down that the entire country's internet is not "the best" is childish and a reductionist argument.

I do live in a 1st world country. I enjoy socialized (free) health care. And actually my country has some of the best internet in the developed world.

Maybe this is a product aimed at 1st world countries.

I guess that rules out the USA.

Expected downtime for 1st world countries is normally under an hour a year

Citation needed.

If your internet is shit you do not need to buy this.

Nobody should buy this.

yes but how often does your internet go down?

I have a 1Gb connection. I work in software development. I live in a nice neighbourhood. My internet goes down all the time.

 

I'm sure we all know about the low audience scores given to The Acolyte. Rotten Tomatoes was sitting down at 14% since around the third episode, and was that low up until at least the last episode. Now that it's nearly a week out from the season finale, I figured I'd take another look.

The Rotten Tomatoes score has gone up to 17% and other review platforms have gone up a bit also.

So I decided to read through a few of the recent ones. Here are two examples:

Screenshot 1

Screenshot 2

The showrunners accuse fans of "review bombing" but are apparently just fine with artificial review boosting. I saw a bunch of these double reviews and nearly every single one talked about things like diversity, a "fresh take", production values, etc, all in that typical bland corporate-speech type of language.

Whereas the negative reviews are detailed and specific without ever getting into racism, bigotry, sexism, or other things fans are often accused of. If you read through the negative reviews they are often well thought out criticisms of the story itself and the quality of acting.

I just wanted to bring this fake review boosting to the community's attention. If you enjoyed the show, that's awesome. But it's dishonest to dilute honest and fair criticisms of a show.

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to get some input on my pepper plants. Last year all my vegetable plants were explosive in growth and produce. This year they've been a bit stressed by the early heat we've had (southern Ontario) but otherwise doing well. Everything from cucumbers, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, carrots, lettuce, garlic, and onions are doing well.

My pepper plants, on the other hand, look terrible.

Initially I thought they were just extremely stressed from the heat, but I noticed a few of them (not pictured) are doing fine. What clicked in my head today is that the ones that are doing ok I grew from seed, and the rest are from garden centres (a semi-private one and a commercial one).

From my zero-level knowledge and subsequent Googling the answer is:

  • Too much heat
  • Too much water
  • Too little water
  • Exposure to herbicide

It's the last one that really raised my eyebrows, and seems to fit based on photos.

Anyone have any insight on this? Thanks in advance.
