maybe the donor is generous and wishes the problem to be solved for more than one laptop. The benefits compound and for example avoid e-waste.

staging sucks anyway. Never catches bugs.

you say that but they’re already thinking a step ahead and assuming meta left a backdoor or CVE at the behest of 3-letter agencies.

What’s facebook’s business plan? Right, surveillance capitalism.

My understanding so far is:

if business logic assumes a set of preconditions before a particular piece of code that the language/runtime/os satisfies… then it’s an immediate assert. Any kind of IO, memory creation and OS operations fall into this carefory.

However if the business logic assumes something in its own domain and that assumption does not hold then its better to handle that instead of crashing. Ex. being you expect a queue to have at least one element in some pipeline and if it is empty then return saying nothing to be done.

Edit: don’t assert/crash if your application is single process multithreaded unless you want your friend from accounting asking you why their stock ticker crashed just when they clicked a button in the coffee shop module of your app. Use some thread exit mechanism.

i pronounce it as cauchy

I wonder how it would look with excel sort

Check if systemd has any clues:

1. journalctl -b > systemd-logs.txt
2. grep -C3 -i "error\|fail|warn\|fatal\|can't\|cannot" systemd-logs.txt

I am stupid and I know it

Then why are you expecting me to be any better if you don’t want to stop yourself here and begin the introspection?

Somehow you want people to read your arguments and change their opinion but when people ask you to do the same you just declare you are stupid and refuse to do the very thing that you expect others to do?

what does “London not being like 90s” mean to you?

being kind is actually not political. By definition if someone hates people for anything other than what they do or say… then its the person who creates the political cloud.

you had no problem grouping a whole folk as problematic but suddenly when its about you now you have a problem with it?

do you think it will help if the companies making those 3 apps actually extend linux support?

they deprecated KDE as of 7 to 8. Guess how I know? Corporate IT upgraded our development servers.

lol at the salty downvotes. it’s kind of true.

Even here the KDE communication is better on details. the gnome quote is less crisp on what it means by “active development” where as KDE precisely defines what will and will not be supported

That’s actually on point for a university student. Probably young. Doesn’t have experience running a business. I wouldn’t be surprised if they struggle to get this off the ground without making fierce critics out of hyprland users.

Here’s a couple of good starting points for the line:

if you have to sell your time/labour for money, you’re not rich.

if you can take a day off and not need to tell anyone about it and not lose money because of it, you’re rich.

the world wasn’t born with companies. Trying to argue their morals as the ultimate truth is toxic to our humanity.

if all a company cares about is shareholders, said company doesn’t deserve to exist.

you argument is trying justify the status quo and arguing for a system that is innately oppressive and cruel. “That’s how it is” We should make it not be like that just the same as we made it be.

Funny how the people desperate to make money above all else in this world project their insecurity on the rest of us and try to gaslight people into thinking that’s how everybody works.

Truth is money isn’t everything in life.

sadly, most likely yes.
