Of fucking course we now have cases of this very preventable disease too. We’re not immune to the wave of anti-intellectualism that leads to things like anti-vax to get any traction at all.

Exactly this. There are some things I usually ask about every interview that kind of shows my hand about what I’m looking for, but also forces them to either answer me, or eliminate themselves as candidates in my mind.

However it’s important to note that this only holds true when you’re an in demand sector, where you aren’t an easily replaceable token. Otherwise they can just skip over you as too much potential trouble lol

Interesting! As an ESL speaker, I actually didn’t notice his accent at all. I always assumed he was an American lol

Yes, if Lola bunny was a sexy squirrel-girl with a Valley girl accent

What a weird sentence to type out

I just answered your question. If one wants latest up to date, LTS release-based distros are just not an option. You do you lol.

FWIW, I only reach out for Flatpak if I can’t find something natively. Unless you just use your DE as is without changing the look of things, making your apps look consistent is made pretty complicated by the requirement for your theme to be repackaged and distributed on flatpak. The sandboxed nature also can get annoying for certain types of apps (e.g. IDEs which tend to reach out for external tooling pretty often, etc). I also tend to trust my distro’s packagers a bit more than randos on flathub, but maybe that’s just me.

user who wants to play with the latest and greatest

“Up to date” and “LTS” are kind of antithetical

I remember the split-screen multiplayer to be insanely fun as well.

I haven’t really looked at his content in a good while. He seems to have gotten more confident in front of the camera. Some of his earlier stuff felt quite awkward at times, IMHO.

As usual with these laws, the people writing them are most likely completely removed from, don’t really care about, nor understand the underlying technologies they’re legislating on. Easiest example to illustrate this is looking at countries pushing for (or already adopting) anti-encryption and online age verification. It’s almost always with those half-measure laws that the most dystopian, privacy invading, abusable stuff gets voted through.

I’m pretty sure spoiler tags are just not part of the markdown specification. This would mean it’s probably easy enough for an application developer to just take the raw comment and pass it to what I assume would be a markdown rendering library (haven’t done app dev much), but spoiler tags won’t work without some additional work.

Incorporation and ownership/funding are very different things. How are they all “owned and funded by governments”?
