We have a term here in Brazil, for appointed "job" positions that seem to have no responsibilities and are basically a way for rich people to place their relatives and such in places close to power:
Aspone. Assessor de Porra Nenhuma. Translates to like "Advisor of Fucking Nothing"
Linus is the best kind of jerk.
Ok but that sounds like exactly the kind of shit test God puts people through in religious parables.
Give them an unbelievable and entirely random thing that SAYS it's supernaturally evil (and it actually is, but it's also so out of left field--) and if they don't take the warning at face value and put it back down they will go to hell forever or something.
Heh. L'd. Funni. Because in the show there's a guy named --
Column A, Column B
The trick is to introduce your kid to your taste in gaming while they're young
And then when they are in their tweens and want to game online with their mates, you set them up for it (with proper supervision and such, of course)
And they WILL develop their own taste in gaming -- But they will have some common ground with you still.
.... It worked for me and my dad (avid PC gamer, mostly plays strategy games and management sims though) anyway. Years later I convinced him to get Civ V and he completely destroyed me in it.
I always wonder where are the mothers of these shitty young men?
Like.
If I even thought of going into a misogynistic phase during my younger years, my mother would have put me in my place, yanno?
Are anglo mothers less sprited than latin american mothers?
You're the one lying. Gnome 46. That's when it was added.
"Location entry on click" and "Detailed timestamps for files" listed proudly as "features" as if they aren't default on every file manager that doesn't treat its users like babies too dumb to use their computers.
Thanks, I was going to post a very similar rant.
The "just works" argument IS a valid one and they would have a point -- IF Gnome's defaults were in any way sensible. They aren't. The entire workflow is a nightmare. (I made the apple comparison -- Well, uhh... MacOS is also a walled garden that doesn't let you change shit, but at least it's got very decent defaults)
Gnome's file manager didn't let you type in FOLDER ADDRESSES until a few months ago, ffs. And sure you could, even then, use an alternative file manager.
.... But at that point you are fucking with the premise of "just works", because you will need to use non-default stuff.

Nintendo called the 2d graphics chips on the NES and SNES the "PPU" (picture processing unit)
What is it with Lemmy and terrible-quality ragebait today?
