That kind of case makes sense, actually.

Wow, that's wild. I guess that's what you get from being such a young/niche project, they haven't had the time/demand to come up against the problems that all the other distros had to solve years ago.

I DLed Cachy with the torrent. Another thing I wish more distros would offer, haha!

I don't think I've ever encountered a distro that doesn't offer a torrent download option, since it saves the project expensive hosting costs.

Since when did CSD become accepted, let alone encouraged? Titlebars should only ever be drawn by the system. This trend of individual applications drawing their own titlebars is a disaster that results in fragmentation and inconsistent behaviour. The absolute disaster that is the titlebars is one of the main reasons I cannot bring myself to use GNOME, recently.

True, just clarifying to clarify the last sentence:

In UK, it is just the legal term everyone goes by for when you lose your job

Since I think there's room for misunderstanding that it's more generic than it is

[–] lucas@startrek.website 2 points 1 week ago (3 children)

That's not quite true, it's a very specific reason for losing your job. If you are fired for doing a bad job, and said you were made redundant, that would be a lie. Redundancy is about the role, not the individual.

[–] lucas@startrek.website 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It's not quite the same thing. If you are 'fired' that's generally to do with performance or conduct of the individual. Redundancy is about not needing (or affording) the role any more (i.e. it is redundant). There are specific legal protections for each case that work quite differently. (You cannot rehire for the same position after a redundancy, for example)

Possible counterpoint: their use as a generic is isolated within the US (maybe some other countries, but certainly not universal), whereas 'google' has arguably become a pretty global term (at least in the Anglophone world, and I believe in some other languages, too), so the reach is very different in scope.

(e.g. Despite Kleenex still a big brand in the UK, nobody uses it as a generic. The product is called a 'tissue')

I have a sunlu printer (S9+), it was a very good price, it works well enough, and I consider it was worth it for me, BUT I 100% agree about support. It came with a flex plate with a kink in it, so I couldn't use the full build area. Reached out to support about it. Just never replied, at all. As far as I can tell the support does not actually exist. Since it was only the removable magnetic plate, I could replace it myself cheaply enough, but if I'd had a bigger issue, it could've been a nightmare...

In the same way vibe coding has transformed software development

So, that is to say, they expect it to have no impact on serious work whatsoever?

Surely, if you forget it's even running, you aren't using it, and it doesn't matter if it stops running? (With a couple of obvious exceptions like automated backups, etc)

Where are you running du -sh *? (I.e. what directory, are you definitely scanning the whole file system?) I'm sure it's obvious, but can never hurt to check!

What does du -sh / show? (Generally, the * glob pattern in the shell will not match hidden dot-files, so is it possible they are being excluded?)
