People that support him don't care about evidence. It's a cult following.

I don't think they ever said they knew they were the only one to know the admin passwords. Looks like they've heard it from former colleagues after they left: > I heard from former colleagues that no one knew the admin password

The course I did back in 2015 had a really good focus on the fundamentals; it helped immensely. At some point I also did DAB although I didn't follow it all the way to the end, but it also helped, especially with perspective. One thing

I loved to draw as a kid and in 2015 I tried to really learn so I bought a cheap course in one of these learning platforms (I think it was udemy). I haven't really kept drawing and have been on and off since then. Last year I decided t

I must be the luckiest person alive to use Linux because I keep reading people writing about issues with Linux, issues with Fedora, and meanwhile I have been using Fedora since version 16 and I had virtually zero issues. I'm on my seco

I thought I was the only one like that, except my dominant leg for kicking is the right one, and I eat with fork on right hand, knife on left; and I use scissors with my right hand. I also play the guitar as a right-handed person. When I te

I don’t drink soda anymore, but when I did, it was mostly Coca-Cola. After moving to the US, I decided to try Dr. Pepper. Couldn’t get past the first sip, because this thing tastes like cough medicine (the bad kind). I know taste is very su

Conceptually yes (and Krita might be more feature rich than Procreate), but Procreate is an iPad only app and Krita is not available on that platform, unfortunately.

D&D artwork was something else back then. I remember spending hours and hours just looking at it. For anybody interested, there is a documentary about the history of the art in D&D: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt88

I have an Asus ROG Zephyrus with an AMD CPU and a dedicated Nvidia RTX 3060. It also has integrated Radeon graphics. When using the Nvidia, the system is quite unstable (I get some weird issues with KDE on Wayland) but when using the integr

Contacting a local organization is mostly finding their website to figure out how they train and approve ATCs. Years ago, the region I was part of had a progression training where you had to read materials, shadow an active ATC for an X num

I know quite a significant number of people that said the same thing. But it's not that they can't watch movies in itself: they can't _sit_ through an entire movie so what they do now now is watch those movies on TT, one shor

I keep seeing these kind of comments and wonder why that might be. I personally run Firefox on 2 different laptops running Windows 11, one of the laptops is dual boot and I also run Firefox on Linux (Fedora). In my previous company I also u

When I ask for the no contact option, normally the drivers will ring the bell after they left the food at my door. I know the food arrived and I don't have to meet the driver. I have the impression that that's her expectation.

I learned to play guitar on a very crappy guitar. It was from a brand known for being cheap and poor quality, and I've bought it second hand. Still, I learned to play on it. Chords. Scales, arpeggios; you name it. Execution was really

I'd say that maybe the fact I didn't have to think about it is a good sign. To me it means that the desktop is out of my way. I can customize it for my liking and I don't need to keep fiddling with it. Sometimes the overly mi

The usability on GNOME is the best of all Desktops I have ever used. It's my daily driver and it feels so natural to use. To each their own, I guess.

Not mentioned in the article but I think what triggered BK to pull the license was Andrew Tridgell (SAMBA and rsync) reverse engineering BK's protocol to implement a third-party client.

In 2011 I moved to Fedora (v16 at the time) and have been using it since then. This year I stopped using GNOME and moved to KDE, seeing if I'll make the switch permanent.

Max Payne. I think that was the first game I played that had a really deep, somewhat emotional, story. The game mechanics with bullet time was just the cherry on top.

These questions are optional, in my experience. I’ve never seen a form in a job application where these were required.

There is a story that when penalties were first introduced they were seem as unfair by both players and goalkeepers. That was because at the time, the box (or perhaps just the penalty line) used to run from side to side. Rumor has it that p

If you follow soccer you will know that diving in the box trying to get a PK is a thing since… I don’t know, PKs were added to the rule? Seriously though, I’ve seen my share of games where a player had a good chance of scoring but decide to

As already mentioned in this thread, this is done mostly for aesthetic purposes, like when making a consommé - which is judged also by how clear the liquid is, besides flavor. Other than that, you shouldn’t bother if you’re using the stock
