Linux UX opinions 

Seriously

Can you tell if this window is scrolled up to the very top, or is it just close to the top?

Linux UX opinions 

This terrible window is a great encapsulation of a lot of problems with modern Linux design choices (see image description for details)

There's three unlabelled menus in the title bar; guess what options are in what menus! There's literally no other way to know

What part of the window do you click on to move the window? There's no visual cues to tell you that either

And there's no way to add a theme to fix the parts that make it difficult for use for people with bad eyes

* Official channels asking manufacturer and distributor for a data sheet ... willing to sign NDA ... still no answer after 3 weeks of trying.

* DuckDuckGo and a friend who speaks chinese and has a wechat account -> Full docs in 15 mins

there should be more Q&As where all the answers are no

re: medical history, racism, cops 

"The police felt like Freedom House had taken their jobs away, but Freedom House believed that the police — with their poor training — were a threat to the patient. Moon says that Freedom House would have a police scanner on to monitor the calls and would try to get to emergency situations before the police did to make sure care was given properly."

medical history 

Basically the first real ambulance service in the United States, bunch of young black guys from the hill district in Pittsburgh who were treated as "unemployables" were the ones who are the reason there is a proper EMS service over there (and they influenced it internationally!) today.

At that time an ambulance was usually a cop or a coroner, these guys were some of the first to do actual medical interventions in the field.

Does anyone know what these screws that also function as standoffs (you can screw a smaller screw into the screw!) are called? Cause I’ve been seeing them in computers recently and I think they’re neat!

I don't know what I was expecting, but have a list of the chief exports of some countries and you can raise your eyebrows a whole lot like I am

Germany: Cars
France: Planes, helicopters, and spacecraft
Italy: Packaged medicines
Spain: Cars
United Kingdom: Gold
Netherlands: Petroleum gas
Belgium: Vaccines
Switzerland: Gold
Austria: Cars
Sweden: Cars

So I was asking for some help with finding #CreativeCommons #graffiti art, and so far have not received help, but I decided to revisit an old project of mine where I actually created a blender Graffiti design and give it a refresh.

I know it is pretty rough, but hey, you can have it. I don't know how well protected @Blender s Suzanne is, but in terms of my original art, I consider this to be public domain, so CC-0

Something to keep a local copy of.

@joepie91 "capitalism is the most efficient system to allocate resources"
Yah, I bet it's efficient to just not allocate resources to the majority of people

Like, this one point basically defeats the *entirety* of the pro-capitalism talking points and rationales. "Efficiency", "beneficial self-interest", none of this crap works anymore the moment you realize that monopolies are the most efficient.

It defeats the ideological support structure for capitalism wholesale and leaves no viable remaining arguments. Zero.

Have you played a game in the creative management genre?

Examples: any game with "Sim", "Tycoon", "Planet", "Architect", or "Theme" in the title

The most efficient capitalist strategy is to construct a monopoly and honestly that is the point where literally any discussion on the 'merits of capitalism' and its ability to produce a functioning society should end

Regarding the Docker registry limiting its unauthenticated pulls...

If you're also using npm, you have a contingency plan for when that starts getting limited too, right? Right?

(It has grown with the exact same unsustainable commercial model)

if web 2.0 was so good why isn't there a...
no wait fuck go back
