Yeah.

There’s waaay worse things you can catch.

Yeah this is me. It’s been just perfect for many years now.

Click the column header to select the column, then click and drag the selected cells to wherever you want.

Note that dragging cells in this way is the same as copy & paste, so it will not insert the column at your destination and move the existing columns along, it will leave a gap where you dragged it from and overwrite the column wherever you leave it.

My explanation is better:

There’s three doors, of which one is the winner.

First, pick a door to exclude. You have a 66% chance of correctly excluding a non-winning door.

Next, Monty excludes a non- winning door with certainty.

Finally, open the remaining door and take the prize!

This is a common argument in our house.

Hah! Me too, exactly this.

It’s not so much about profiting from the situation but maximising your options.

You don’t want to cash in your 401k and buy gold, but if you have some investments then buying physical gold with 5% or 10% is not a terrible idea.

In a holocaust type situation an ounce of gold in the right palm at the right time could buy passage for an entire family.

We may not have the gold standard anymore but I can assure you that gold remains a stable store of wealth.

It’s also not going to be easier to buy.

Banks are much more reluctant to loan, jobs are harder to keep.

Yeah what the fuck is with that.

It’s a very twitter centric view of the web. If you’re not on xitter you’re “shutting out a significant portion”.

The thing is, it’s not simply that Musk has an ideology that is disparate from my own, he has an agenda that is egregiously contrary to the stated values of the Debian project.

You’d consult with the community over a new logo or blog layout maybe, but on whether to assist Musk in his far right agenda there’s not really any decision to be made honestly.

Oh but look at this deleted draft PR release that was committed that doesn’t really say anything spicy and was later sharpened up to reflect the intentions of the author.

But when gen z gets old they won’t be self interested like every other generation since forever /s.

I agree that things are bleak. I also try to focus on practical, local things on which I can have a positive impact.

I’d like to think that some things will get better, and others will be less bleak.

Climate change is occurring quicker than we had hoped, but we are making progress towards mitigating the worst effects, even of that progress is slower than we had hoped.

Not trying to be an ass but American cars havent been great since forever.

I think the title is intended to lead to partisan turf wars.

I don’t necessarily agree with the beginner vs expert thing.

I’ve been using linux for many years but I certainly don’t have any magical expert knowledge or intuition. When I have driver trouble I google it and copy whatever commands seem sensible.

It’s probably better to say that some distros are more configurable from the desktop than others. As in, if you’re going to get grumpy about using the command line then mint or ubu might be your best choices.

That said, in my experience linux GUIs rarely expose all of the underlying features of whatever service they’re interacting with. (For example, gnomes disk management GUI).

This is me.

I just don’t care about the moral or ethical considerations.

Keepassxc

The best IMO because it’s just a client you install on a device which reads an encrypted data file you can sync how you like.

This way it’s not a hoard like lastpass or bitwarden.

I think it’s a personal decision. As in, you might be cool with a car from that company or using proton’s services, but that doesn’t mean that everyone else ought to be cool with it too, because they need to make their own decision.

By being a customer of whatever company you are tacitly condoning their behavior.

I feel like this is an infinitessimal part of the problem.

As in… to make a proton substitute you need a similar level of resources. If you have those resources then domain reputation would be a snap.

syncthing if you just want to keep a few folders in sync between devices.

Yeah ok.

In my 20’s I over-enjoyed a great many things.

Now in my 40’s I don’t drink booze, do drugs, smoke cigarettes, and also try to avoid sugar and caffeine. I also have kids now so I sold my motorbikes because that seemed irresponsible.

So yeah, I do purchase poncy imported italian sparkling mineral water because… it’s a nice indulgence.
