I use both Windows and Linux. I also mess around with github programs here and there and they almost all require use of a command line to install or manipulate. And because a command line intrinsically is going to inform you way too little or way too much about what you are doing I end up having way more technical issues because I don't realize I'm missing a dependency or I glazed over an error that popped up in a sea of text during installation.

Linux's leaning on CLI is good for extremes: ultra-techy programmers and perfectionists and the exact opposite: people who just want internet and a word processor (who will install like basically nothing anyway so CLI wont bother them and probably keep them from breaking something in a GUI settings page).

People in the middle who are semi-techy end up annoyed because if they want to do some middle of the road changes to their system they have to use a command line or even code something themselves. Instead of just using a search engine to find the 1 out of a billion different little windows based applications that already exist to do the small yet very specific thing to a "good enough" level. Which just requires a minute or two of internet research, clicking download, waiting a bit, then installing a thing. Some of those tasks you can do while doing something else.

Or yes, maybe they end up needing to edit an ini file or a registry file (very rarely in the latter case).

Basically I'm talking about tech users that always use the path of least resistance rather than the most advanced or custom. People who want to do 20% of the work to get 80% of the results.

I'm out of the loop.

Oh yeah, c'mon, give me some populated niche subs!

We'll get there... eventually.

Surprised its only 78% that oppose. What the hell are the 22% smoking?

Its been busy and kind of bad leaning TBH.

I'm an office worker at an after school program but at various points have been called as back up because the kids are here all day this week because of Spring Break Camp. Made getting my usual work done a tad difficult.

Also my car died last week and now I have to go car shopping which is going to make me unexpectedly broke. But at least I have the financial cushion to handle it, I know a lot of people don't usually.

Went to the doctor yesterday and they said I'm on track for a high blood pressure diagnosis so now I got to reduce my sodium, caffeine, & alcohol I guess and probably take up meditation or yoga or something. Which is unfortunate because I'm a sucker for salty foods and I legit need coffee. I don;t mind getting more exercise though I've been meaning to start doing push ups in my office anyway.

I also don't think I'm going to be able to get myself to chill because I question to effectiveness meditation vs work, my love life, my financials, and the state of my country which are all currently in turbulence. To much shit to handle all at once.

One minor bright spot is this weekend I'm opening an account with a Credit Union as they're adding my organization to their list of Select Employer Groups and I figure considering how fucked our economy is going to get, having my money in multiple places probably couldn't hurt. And Credit Unions are generally an improvement on banks.

Man I don't exactly love two out of four of those genres myself, but this thread has a few commenters that seem to want to pretend they're the adults in the room but in reality they're just a bunch of miserable cunts that either hate music or only want to listen to the same fucking popular shit over and over.

Like, popular music is fine to be clear but so is wanting to listen to weirder stuff.

Vaccines could theoretically be used to train the immune system to essentially attack cancer cells in much the same way we already use immunotherapy. Though as far as I understand it, we have yet to fully develope one.

My understanding is the existing Jewish population was integrated into Israel.

Do you think that they'd displace other Jewish people if they were living there already? I'm pretty sure its the religious fanaticism fueling this.

I mean, fuck Hegseth in general, but the Houthis aren't an ethnic group and are generally bad, being so oppositional to peace in Yemen historically and killing civilians.

I don't think we're ignoring that, so much as there is an overwhelming amount of bad shit to talk about stemming from this single incident.

And to be honest the bigger issue revealed here isn't the failure to protect classified information or that they're bombing Yemen (In a vacuum at least) right now but the fact that they are violating the law also by using an app that destroys documentation of their conversations. This has implications not only legally or militaristically but also that they know they want to do shit that would be illegal and evil enough that they don't even want to use standard classified channels, not just bombing of Yemen but probably more future evil shit.
