I assume you use a card view instead of list view. In list view every picture is shown as thumbnail. Even if there were no pictures this long you have to scroll way more in card view than in list view.

I don't understand why people think this is such a useful thing. Sure it has some good summaries but you can't find all info there whereas man pages should have everything. It's also good that tldr has examples but I think it's something man should more often have too. So why would people rather use this than man?

For example I often forget the order of pattern and file in grep. I can look it up easily in both man and tldr. I also forget what was the short option for recursion. Was it -r, -R or either or something else entirely? I can easily do a search on my pager to find the option in man but there's only long option available in tldr. That's Too Long Don't Want to Type.

What difference does the federation make in this case? Either way the personal data is in someone else's computer.

But in many cases Windows is pre-installed so it doesn't matter if installing Windows is equally hard. People don't have to install Windows in order to use it. In order to get normal people to use Linux there should be similarly no barrier to entry. I've seen companies selling used laptops with Linux distro of choice pre-installed. Something like that could work.

My hands aren't particularly small either and I hate big phones. I like to use my phone with one hand most of the time so I need a small phone to hold it comfortably and to reach around the touch screen.

I've noticed even few millimeters of difference in width has great impact on how comfortable the phone is to use. Gesture navigation also helps and I think it was created out of necessity for bigger phones.

Probably an average. I think the above average types usually have a vim keybinding configured to send current buffer to CIA via curl so they don't have to use bloated web browser for doing everyday task.

Which things do you find boring and restrictive about it? I think it's rather nice although I don't like some of the changes after Catalina like moving from skeuomorphic icons to more symbolic ones.

Other than aesthetics I think editing and writing is fast on macOS even when not using vim. I even changed my PCs to use mac keyboard layout because it's better. Of course when using vim, editing should work same on any system at least in theory.

PRESSURE 30.4 inHG

Do Americans really use inches of mercury to measure air pressure? Even millimeters of mercury would feel weird for me in weather context. I've seen mmHg used mostly in medical and chemistry stuff. I guess it really is anything but metric for you guys.

Any idea is there anything similar available on LG webOS?

and also that being based on Debian LMDE is 100% community based.

At first I read it as "completely based" and wondered whether LMDE is also red pilled.

But switching clients means wasting your time learning a different app and getting used to different UI. I wouldn't like to switch from Connect at this point even though it's a bit buggy so I think client does matter a lot. Reddit APIcalypse was all about clients and if I didn't care about the client I would still use Reddit with RedReader. Or if I cared even less I would use Reddit app.
