Sounds like they were right

Zen browser is pretty interesting too

He should agree to it, then back out after the war is ended claiming he never agreed to it, or whatever excuses Trump uses to never pay contractors

Adding a bit more context, X.Org/X11 is often just called X for short

Having just replaced a Maytag appliance only 4 years into its supposed 10 year warranty (that only covers the parts not likely to fail) because it would have cost as much as the machine did new to fix it, yeah… The Maytag is absolutely not better made and their “reputation” is just false advertising

Yeah, that’s kind of a crucial part of critical thinking, and can absolutely be done without shutting the kid up… You can critically analyze the question with them without discouraging asking questions

I think a big part of that is that they’re underfunded constantly, and it’s probably about to get way worse

It’s possible it was a joke, similar to the “Britain only has 12 actors” one… I would believe the FDA having more contractors than direct employees, but definitely more than ten

At least according to Wikipedia, as of 2022, they had 18,000 employees

I feel like they could have at least some success marketing machines with Linux preinstalled as “ad and spyware free” and get at least some people interested

Is that what that is? Huh… Guess I should have zoomed in more

I like how they also outlined the brain

Or he’d just do exactly the same as he was going to do anyway, it’s not like anyone stopped him hiring his own family members in blatant disregard for the law, why would this be any different?

Yep.

I use it as a command shell regularly and the verbosity isn’t an issue at all, between aliases and tab completion.

Honestly, having used both for years, PowerShell is actually easier in many respects just due to the object pipeline and dotnet, once you get to know them well enough. Being able to just toss output into a variable and mess around with it to understand its structure and contents is huge

Funnily enough, I use PowerShell as my daily driver and I rarely ever use the Format verb cmdlets and think they need to stop teaching people to use them as much as they do… They’re only meant to modify how things are displayed, but in doing so, they trash the objects that were on the pipeline and replace them with formatting commands, and cause confusion when people try to do something with what they output

The worst is using them to select properties, they should not have included that ability at all, that’s what the Select-Object cmdlet is for, which outputs usable objects

Anyway, sorry for the rant… I just think those overall teach new users bad habits.

Well, let’s be honest, it’s not exactly hard to make email suck. I’m sure he’ll find some interesting and creative ways to make it suck worse somehow, though…

Yeah, I’ll admit I kind of stalled out in season 2 but I’ve meant to go back and finish… It would be easier if my wife liked that sort of TV 😅 I’ll just have to watch it alone 😭

I mean, I’m not disagreeing, that’s what I’m saying I trouble believing, a “socialist” authoritarian.

And like you, I don’t really get how leftist values are remotely compatible with authoritarianism.

I remember watching the first episode and he brought up a terminal and thinking “here we go” then…“holy shit… Those are real commands”

That and the explanations I was ready to laugh at for being terrible, then… Wait, no, those actually make sense

OMG, they just got root access!!!

I know this probably comes across as “no true Scotsman”, but I have a really hard time believing anyone who legitimately holds those views can also be socialist
