12 hour time is an inferior standard, and we should be on 24 hour time so developers don't ever default to 12 hour time. Way too many instances of mission critical things getting swapped on am/pm by mistake. That is never a problem with 24h time.

I disagree vehemently with one of these and I thought it might make a fun little mystery, but on second thought I'll just state up front it's the Monty Python one.

There needs to be a mandatory parenting training course if you're expecting a child.
Religion needs to be taken out of the government completely

I've said it somewhere earlier today, I'll say it again here. I think Windows XP was bad, and that Vista was good.
But Windows in general is still absolute rubbish anyway.
I actually love Vista. It's what made me switch to Linux!
I use NixOS btw

Vista was either magic or crap depending on your hardware/software needs. Almost no middle ground. I was supporting about 100 PC's at the time, and it was a nightmare for work, but I enjoyed running it myself.
From a corporate standpoint, skipping it for win7 was a serious win for IT.
On the upside, the latest Samsung UI on android has something pretty close to Vista's old task manager.

Vista was great. It just needed double the ram which was standard back then.
There are still functions of Vista MIA in w11. It was far ahead of it's time.

You should have to get a special license to drive something as big as a modern pickup truck.
And you should have to have a justifiable reason to buy and own one.
And there should be restrictions on where they can be driven.
Basically most people shouldn't have pickup trucks.

Not only is Gacha a bad game monetization from a consumers perspective, the moment it's implemented the game is shit, and you should be ashamed to play it.
I dont care about Genshin's cultural impact, Fortnite's mechanical depth or how hot the latest team fortress character is, you should always have the thought of supporting the indefensible in the back of your head while playing them and consider it a guilty pleasure. Meaning: keep your damn pulls to yourself!
And since I used to say it too: "You can absolutely play without paying money" isn't an argument when you need to pay with time instead, doing dailies is a chore, not leisure.
You're shifting the blame to individuals. Gacha games and gacha mechanics are gambling and should be banned.

Han Solo shot first. Screw any of the remakes or special editions he was a pirate and was just protecting himself from an even more dangerous pirate.
Nope. Sorry but you're just wrong. "Han shot first" implies Greedo shot second. And he most certainly did not. Han shot, Greedo died. Green fucker with finger suckers didn't even get a shot off.
Preach. Han shot first? Nah. Han shot.

- LTS Linux distros are not good for desktop usage and terrible for beginners. (And for servers too but a bit less ig).
- The current distribution model of Linux apps is garbage. The concept of package maintainers, in most cases, is just redundant, duplicated work.
- Bash is horrible and relying on it for anything else than personal scripts gets messy really fast.
- Having a standard "platform" in Linux is key.
- SystemD is actually good, not perfect but very powerful.
- Apps not using Portals are a crime.
Obviously written by NixOS sectarian.
