Javascript is a beautiful language where '3' - 1 = 2 but '3' + 1 = '31'.

We do jira + bitbucket + confluence + teams.

You joke but people do that. I've seen people repurpose their old android phones to host small services on their home networks. I won't comment on how reasonable it is because battery, but it's a thing.

I got fired when the company decided to downsize.

"How is that dumb?" you ask? That happened less than two weeks after I was hired. The boss man's speech indicated that that was the result of a long deliberation by corporate. So if you knew there could be layoffs any moment, why the fuck were you hiring?

I use Linux myself, but my work laptop they gave me is windows. I can honestly say that I believe in near future the average Linux experience is going to be smoother than windows. Because I cannot believe how insanely annoying windows 11 is. It's really not good. And modern Linux has more than good enough software and hardware compatibility.

But of course it's gonna take a long while before Linux overtakes windows because social inertia. And that's not gonna change easily because there is no humongous international corporation that spends billions every year to get their Linux based OS pre-installed on almost every new computer.

Compound words are very different than agglutinative conjugation though. In such languages, you don't just mash words together, you also modify them to encode all sorts of extra information into one word. You can form full, grammatically correct sentences that way. Can't do that with compound words because you can't compound them into a complete sentence.

A famous, powe example is the word "çekoslovakyalılaştırabildiklerimizdensiniz" from Turkish, which is like Finnish in that regard. It's a complete sentence that means "you are one of those who we have managed to make a czechoslovakian". The object, subject, verb, tense, and more are all in there. Obviously that's quite a bit more complex than word together-mashing.

That small inert lump of metal can have jagged edges that can cause injury later on. It also definitely is loaded with dirty crap that will cause infections. Overall it's rarely "fine" to leave random, unsterilized foreign objects inside the body.

There's the Elven Rope that's light as a feather and strong as steel. No reason there could not have been the Elven Condom that's thin and impermeable.

They're probably talking about Samsung TVs, not their android phones/tablets. Installing jellyfin on those things can be a chore. My experience with LG was similar. The official build was out of date and riddled with issues that didn't exist on other versions. It refused to play videos that worked well enough on other devices, transcode or no.

I like that the couple's arguments becomes a proxy war between two instances of chatgpt.

How does that work? Based on imei perhaps? Does spoofing that not do the trick?

Ah, if I understand this explanation right, the blob's purpose is to do things and stuff. Is that correct?

 

Hello,

I've just recently unpacked my new Dell P3421W monitor. I was like 80% sure there would be no Linux support for the proprietary piece of software that manages the monitor's features, because that sorta stuff is hardly ever built for Linux for some fucked up reason, but I figured I could use my macbook (for which there actually is support) or the monitor's own nipple menu to do stuff. Turns out the macbook version does not work properly on Apple silicon, and the nipple menu doesn't have all the things.

I know it's a long shot, since google hasn't helped much, but would anyone here know if there's a way to go about it? Maybe there are existing tools?
