As a ServiceNow dev/admin, I support this opinion so hard.

You could do it to. Be the change you want to see, or be a dick. Your choice I guess.

Or OP is spreading the word to get it out there. Now it’s got eyes on it thanks to OPs work.

Jesus. Some of you people just want to shit on someone for doing a good thing for no reason. Have you put in a pull request yet or are you just showing your dark side on top of being a dick to OP who did something good?

I really want someone to try this and report back. It really does feel like something that could execute.

That’s kind of where I’m at with Borderlands 4 and that shit stain Randy Pitchford. His situation isn’t as bad as this I think, but it’s a deal breaker none the less. Don’t bite the hand that feeds mother fuckers.

Ah, I see we have an Alantian in our midst.

At least if they were to send me to my country of origin, or that if my ancestors, it’d be Germany or Ireland. But we know it would be El Salvador, or the new concentration camp, Alligator Auschwitz.

I hadn’t heard of this and now I need to look into it.

It’s rarely actually on me, but it in the same general location that I’m in in case I need it, but I agree with you

I’m sure as shit never unlocking my phone if asked, but I’ll show ID if requested in official capacity. If an unmarked person asks, I’ll tell them exactly where they can shove their request.

I keep mine in my work backpack at all times. That bag sits next to my desk when I work at home, next to my person when I’m in the office, and converts to my go back when I go on vacation. It’s with me almost always. I’m a white guy who can trace his family back to ellis island, so my risk is significantly lower that many others, but I’m also very outwardly critical of Nazis, so it’s not no risk.

For sure, swimming and practicing swimming is the best way. Reading about it won’t likely help you in an emergency situation. In a controlled environment, I think that someone could probably survive if they’ve only read about how to swim. Not thrive, but knowing what to do would help.

Being put in a situation meant to induce panic with restrains, gear, and objectives is very different from surviving if someone falls into a body of water.

Sure, reading a book probably won’t do much if you capsize in rough waters or have tread water for minutes to hours. I think that if someone were to have a controlled drop in a deep pool, they would have a much higher chance of success if they’ve read about basic water survival techniques vs someone who hasn’t. Panic is still for sure the biggest factor, but having any amount of knowledge is still better than having none.

Same. I started learning French from English, and my experiences from software development have made learning a new language easier. I also took Spanish almost 20 years ago, and while I don’t speak it, I have a better understanding of how languages are structured so learning conjugations is easier since I understand the concept better. Perhaps the specific words I’m learning don’t stick in memory as easy as a child, but learning a new language is like 30% vocab and 70% sentence structure and conjugation. The hard part is the “logic”, if you will.

I believe so, yes. For the vast majority of people, it will be seamless, same as with Windows.

Actually, it is. Anecdotally, I’ve never had an issue with my Nvidia card playing any games. Nvidia is certainly not as good as AMD, but it’s not as bad as the memes make it seem. In the past year they’ve worked more with Linux developers to provide better drivers. Not perfect, but it’s at least stable.

Installing the Nvidia drivers on Linux isn’t anymore difficult than it is on Windows.

If you haven’t used Linux within the last at couple of two years, then your experience is outdated and not relevant. There have been huge QoL improvements over that time.

You may have disabled copilot, but it installed and integrated into the Win 11 operating system. It takes 1 update to re-enable it without your consent. If there weren’t precedent, that wouldn’t really be a valid argument, but it wouldn’t be the first time it’s happened.

Linux Mint is easier to use out of the box than any version of Windows. It is 100% usable without typing a single terminal command. If you learn apt-get, it extends functionality and is basically 1 command, which again, is optional.

To install applications it’s as simple as opening Software Manager, selecting the app, and installing. The app store is better than whatever windows has installed by a country mile.

On a fresh install it has a full libre office suite, all of the basic apps like calculator, and many others. If you don’t want that, it can be prevented at installation.

It is inherently more secure, and updates won’t revert settings or install malware like Windows updates.

Major version updates will always support old hardware. There will never be a situation like Windows 11 not supporting older hardware.

The only thing the Windows has over Linux is proprietary apps for a lot of products. For the average and most above average users, that’s irrelevant. There are options for most fields but not all. For most people, life exists in a web browser, and that works better on Linux.

There is no way to install windows fresh, have all of those items disabled, and have all of the bloat uninstalled without creating a custom image.

Lol, I did butcher it. I only Lemmy from my phone, so I’m far more inclined to have typos. When I typed that I remember starting it and clicking on the suggestion to auto fill, but I must not clicked where I thought.
