I live in a blue state. Using that same logic, my vote for a Democrat is a wasted vote, because my state is going to go blue whether I vote for them or not.

I read a biography of Stallman several years ago. The whole free software movement was an attempt to preserve the early hacker culture where everybody freely swapped code. So, Stallman didn’t really “invent” FOSS; he just codified that early hacker ethos.
What was minix then? A non FOSS version?
It wasn’t FOSS, but then neither was Linux originally.
Wait…you think those are intuitive? Fuck no.
Who’s going to intuitively know that “long hand pointing at 2” means “10 minutes after the hour”? Also, having the long hand for minutes is super unintuitive when hours are longer than minutes.
Fish shell does this automatically. It’s one of the reasons I love it. You can auto-complete based on your command history.
GNOME + Debian
Into the trash it goes.
Were you asleep the first time he was in office? Read Project 2025. That’s what they plan on doing if he gets elected.
Nobody wants Hillary to run. Not even Hillary.
It was 10 days, but, yeah, not a lot of time, especially for one guy. (That one guy was Brendan Eich, by the way.)
Doing things the hard way doesn’t make you smarter.
Yeah, same, but I always set my editor to insert spaces instead when I hit Tab, so that the spacing won’t be different in other environments.
There is absolutely nothing I do in an IDE frequently enough to memorize a bunch of arcane commands, especially in 3 days. Regex solves any mass-operations.
Yeah, don’t memorize a bunch of arcane commands. Use regex instead!
I refuse to see how vim and emacs is worth learning.
Interesting choice of words. You aren’t unable to see…you refuse to. Why would you refuse knowledge?
This happens much more often than the other one.
I always think about stuff like this whenever libertarians talk about how much more efficient corporations are than government. I’m like, “Have you ever worked for a corporation?” Organizations are just huge dumpster fires in general, because they’re all run by humans.
That should be elementary computer literacy: if you don’t know what the file does, then don’t delete it.
I knew somebody would have the relevant xkcd.
Naw, they wanted the metaphorical length. Computers are great at metaphors.
Where did I say that I wasn’t going to vote? I’m voting Green. If there’s a good Democrat running for Congress, I’ll vote for them, too. This isn’t complicated.
