I'm more interested in how do you navigate system menus and such, or does DE manage this? I've tried one Linux distro recently without a mouse attached and it was painful because some elements of the system UI are not accessible in any way

I mean the time when games from 90's were just games, because it was 90's

What I meant to say is that they can easily use both a phone and a PC, and still think it's arcane and cryptic. Even if they needed to tinker with it, e.g. a lot of DOS games required me to set IRQ, and I still don't know precisely what it is

I'm afraid this required much more tinkering back in the day, and will be way less educational now. Maybe building and running a PC from 2005 or earlier will require the same level of getting to know things, but otherwise it will not teach to not treat computer as arcane and enigmatic, imo

Probably not fans of Nintendo or something

That's how it should be, not how it is

I think what they meant is nobody in management cares if someone wants to hold them accountable

Bit it's a nice picture, yeah

I've been to a very large capital in Europe recently, there's been a whole three toilets when I needed one, ranging from 15 to 30 minutes away, and the best part is when I got to them, all were inaccessible because they are located inside of the park that closes doors at 18:00 (before that, in fact). The toilets are even marked 24h on the map, very convenient.

So yeah, even not considering drunk people, there are not nearly enough toilets in a lot of places.

Well, they claim that statistically the problem became less severe, so maybe it does work

'Clean Code' by Uncle Bob is a good place to start when answering these questions.

And here I was, almost agreeing. Clean code is defining quality through aesthetics, and that book is a very bad advice of how to define anything

Tortoise might be fine too

Besides, they say ‘read really old texts’ as if this is easily achieved right now, which it is not
