Probably just an attempt to stop low effort LLM copy pasta.

Confession: I got curious and tried Mint and ended up liking it. It's a lot better than it was a decade ago!

I don't think Linux itself is held back by lack of adoption at all. Android is the most popular mobile operating system in the world, last I checked. My dad doesn't know the difference between dir and ls, and he will only use an A

No idea what you’re on about. I’m happy for you though. Or sorry that happened.

Fair. I was thinking of third party anti-malware that I have to go out and get, not something that is tightly integrated into Windows itself and enabled by default. Also, I don’t need the antivirus portion of Defender since I don’t click on

The difference between Linux users and Jehovah’s Witnesses is that Christianity seems to be on the rise again.

I haven’t had anti-malware software on Windows for over 10 years. If you’re computer literate then you don’t need it regardless of which OS you use. If you’re not computer literate and you click on every link that comes your way, not even t

Misery loves company. You won't see anybody telling people to switch to Windows, Mac or iPhone because those people are too busy enjoying their OS.

Ah, so karma is a thing on HN as well. That would explain it. Since 2001 I've used Red Hat, Mandrake, Slackware, Ubuntu, and Mint. I got rid of them at the first available opportunity. Elon Musk himself couldn't pay me enough to s

I still remember the first time I stumbled across Logic Pro X. For the price of $200 I got a complete package that contains about 200 plugins and instruments. The DAW itself was maybe 7% of the full contents of that package. That is unbeata

"As good as" is highly debateable. Have you used Logic Pro 11 in the past two years?

I'm sure most people feel the opposite way. I've been using Windows and Macs for 20 years and I don't ever see myself ever using Linux as a desktop OS.

Different companies can have vastly different work cultures, even if they're in the same location. So in a sense we're all a bit "out of touch" with each other. Most days I go to work, I try my best, because if it turns

Good counterpoint. Throughout my rather long career I've known a few overachievers. The majority of them did not get promoted, and the ones who did get promoted were actually up-titled -- new title, miniscule pay rise. Then there are t

Good job pointing out the logical inconsistencies so succinctly. That article is yet another case of a solution looking for a problem.

I was struck by some of the responses. "No I don't want to talk on a call, just read what I typed." If that's how you think then you're part of the problem.

The alternative to CI/CD pipelines is to rely on human beings to perform the same repetitive actions the exact same way every single time without any mistakes. You would never convince me to accept that for any non-trivial project. Esp

Does it read like a canned response? Yes. But it is not "forceful and rude" by any means and your interpretation is way over the top for what looks like two people from different cultures trying to communicate in a mutually non-na

I find that Yoga Nidra helps a lot. It relaxes all your muscles and also has nothing to do with "yoga".

You emphasized the word "minimal" but it cannot be emphasized enough. I think melatonin is one of those things that quickly backfires if you take too much.

I wonder how much of sleep research is affected by the difference in sleep quality between your own bed and a lab. Even if you're on vacation and the hotel bed is of exceptional quality, your brain knows that it's in a different e

Not just toxic, he's simply wrong. A 10X is someone who supposedly completes 10 hours' worth of work in one hour. If anything he was a -10X lol...

I would recommend everyone play their first OW game on the easiest difficulty, regardless of their experience with Civ. It is a fair bit more complex and Civ skills do not directly translate well to OW even though the two games look graphic

Specifically by Soren Johnson, lead designer of Civ 4, so naturally OW has Civ 4 vibes. I will say that Civ 6 and OW seem to appeal to different audiences, so if you absolutely loved Civ 6 plays then OW might not be to your liking.

I've already said this in another thread, but check out Old World (free demo).

Ah yes, the famed Solver! You're known for your inhumanly rapid responses to every Old World related discussion on the Internet but I didn't expect you to show up here.
