Double snark if you get upset that I didn’t accept it and reach out to find out why.

Sending my work email a calendar invite as the first communication. Just because you want to sell it doesn’t mean I want to buy it. Or even hear about it. If a calendar event is the first thing you send me, I will be the avatar of snark. My calendar is busy enough without you inserting yourself into it without my consent.
Their home/home office stuff is absolutely trash. That much is true.
Much of their small business stuff is on the verge of being ok. Just, expensive for what it is.
Meanwhile at work we have hp enterprise printers that are twelve years old and still working flawlessly.
Because Fedora is open source only to the point of it being pathological. If there isn’t am open source driver most time you’re just boned. Someone new is going to have a tough time with it, and the community is on average a very “lol rtfm” bunch. Not as bad as Arch, but that’s not saying much.
Meanwhile, despite the problems around Ubuntu, Debian communities are much more understanding and helpful. Mint even with old packages is going to be an easier time for a newbie. Certainly a newbie unfamiliar with the way entirely too much of the FOSS community is.
Sorry, that will forever be Did Not Finish for me. 😣
Shell scripts were a mistake.
I understand 1000% but I’m not sure I agree. With the peevishness of C and latent autism of assembly, something compiled or otherwise binary isn’t always simple and straightforward. Sometimes, you have a task that only needs to be done three times, and just replaying the commands is sufficient.
sh, ash, and bash are all kinda dumb. Absolutely. But there are other shells that are significantly better. csh and zsh are both great. ksh has some history on it but is good too. But “shell scripts” don’t have to be in your shell language. The hashbang line will let you make a command file and so long as you can describe the command line you can get most shells to run it. Be that language line noise perl or python or even go.
Excuse me, I shower once a fortnight whether I need it or not!
Compiler output only marginally better than working with c++
No one claims it’s faster at runtime than good C++, it’s just a lot easier to write decent code
I think they’re referring to warning and error content. Compared to things like rust, deciphering error notifications from the c# compiler can sometimes feel like trying to figure out what a child with limited vocabulary is trying to tell you.
Even with decades of personal experience with it, they can be confusing and non-informative sometimes for me.
You should look into it. Network tarpitting has an interesting history.
Something something don’t cite the old magics something something I was there when it was written…
Right, but you have no way of telling what version of tar that bomb is running
Joke’s on you, .tar isn’t compression
That’s still kinda new. It didn’t always do that.
You may not, but I need it. Data anxiety is real.
Free for now. If they wanted to let you keep using it for free they would have said so in the notices.
If you keep using it they’ll keep thinking you’re a possible income source.
Redbacks are a related bit different spider. But yes, Aussies have redbacks.
It’s fine. I moved to gitlab years ago for 2fa, so while this doesn’t affect me I would be entirely ok with normal 2fa.
It is normal, right? Not a weird Microsoft 2fa requiring their app?
That guy better watch out, Steve Harvey is in the woods with him!
Arch is absolutely divine with its documentation. There is a bit of a “you must be this tall to ride” with them though. Like the tiny
[AUR]
link. That’s not really well explained, and is even more opaque if you follow the link.
