As if any Dutch cyclist would adhere to any traffic rules. The only thing in traffic that bikers in Rotterdam seem to respect is the tram. Anything else, be it signs or traffic lights, is treated as “decorative” or “optional”.

I use Kubuntu for that. Works good, is reliable, and uses Plasma instead of Gnome. The KDE Plasma environment is way easier to “get” for people coming from Windows than Gnome.

I was running a server hosting a Gutenberg mirror at home 30+ years ago. And no, it’s not public.

It’s Twitter, give people a break.

No. People who still use Twitter/X are already broken…

Skinnier that half-ply toilet paper. And about as irritating.

I assume. I mean, they do make money somehow, and it’s probably not by getting pirated.

All of the anime pirating sites are riddled with ads.

As if the commercial sites were any better…

Alcohol, medication, recreative drugs…

When people have unlearned to put their messages in words…

Basically this means to head back to reddit and poison up!

So, it’s the US in the same pot as most of Africa and the -stan lands.

Well, it actually has a few more circles and lines, but yes.

Some local plants might be edible and even delicious, but they are either way to costly to grow or harvest, or they are nigh impossible to preserve. Or they simply are edible, but not sustaining, like sucking nectar from stinging nettle blossoms.

Some are acquired tastes like e.g. turnip tops. You could probably harvest tons of them, but there is no real market for it.

Or take edible flowers, you basically can’t preserve them, and all you can do is put them on a dish for decoration.

Pearl Onions are a borderline case, for example. Between harvest and sitting in the pickling juice they only have a few hours (3-6, IIRC), or they are a case for the compost heap.

If they have one.

This could be vibe coding, or just an intern “doing the web site”.

Neither should have write access to production code.

I did not switch to Linux. I simply never did Windows. I use Linux since the old days of Slackware where you really had to compile ones kernel. That was with kernel 0.97.

Who would have thought that such a thing could happen? Apart from anyone knowing enough about computers, I mean?

If he mentions it, one has to assume that he knows enough about it to lie.

The ultimate red flag. They probably lie about paying you, too.

If push comes to shove, you can still use Notepad++ under Wine. It works.

I use Kate for my editing needs, fast and good regexp work, which is important for me.
