So sad for Sun. Just touching their products as they were before getting eaten by Oracle is an amazing experience.

Also very nice artistic language in visual design, I know this is not the most important thing.

I mean, RH became dominant by not initially being a bag of dicks.

So if SUSE becomes the main enterprise vendor (to more precisely address RH's role, one can say "root enterprise vendor"), then its enshittification is just a matter of time.

Other than that, I like Tumbleweed, it just works, and, unlike Fedora, without bullshit.

Still the whole corporate atmosphere makes me wary. SUSE is good, we just shouldn't put all our eggs into one basket (and should fix that with RH).

I just listen to the "Enclave Sublevel" track (more rarely others) from KotOR II OST, or sometimes "Bastila Shan" track (more rarely others) from KotOR OST, or "Polyhedrons" track (same) from Disco Elysium OST, or theme 2 (same) from Ascendancy OST,

RH is the maintainer\developer of great many things. Of course it'd be nice for them to have good competition (like what Canonical was), so that they wouldn't use that power for evil.

Still them becoming weaker is not a case for optimism.

I'd really like something like Gentoo with official binary packages (and relevant tree), so that building from source would be an option and installing a binary package the usual way. Well, also simpler installation maybe.

I mean, Calculate Linux does that, but I think it's a Russian small-business oriented distribution, so not exactly my use case.

That's why they should make becoming an ISP something much more achievable legally, and not try to pay existing ISPs for something "universal". Then the problem is going to be solved really quick, almost as quick as laying cables.

Supply and demand are real, because they provide motivation for both sides, the consumer and the provider. Not the case with such bills.

And also separates your hand from the substance you are removing, not joins it. (Sorry, I just couldn't)

Just like in Russia nobles would hire French and German servants to look good. Like an expensive horse.

I mean, the Finnish military should have inherited some things from the Russian imperial military, so this is to be expected. And it was a nationalist and traditionalist force which fought against Bolsheviks and won, getting itself a country (this kinda gets forgotten since the public image of Finland is very progressive and almost leftist now). And military is the most conservative institution in any country usually. Still weird.

Well, I personally get drunk quicker due to metabolism and my hangover starts the same day.

That is, compared to most Europeans, but I've heard that for SE Asia this would actually be the norm.

So one can say in this case culture just follows structural difference.

But - yes, it's much nicer to be with friends when they are not drunk.

Except for beer, there are weaker sorts, and the effect of hops on people I actually like.

Just a different walled garden.

My Russian friends are all in VK, my Russian relatives are all in Telegram, my Armenian relatives are all in Facebook Messenger, and my American relatives are all in WhatsApp and Skype.

I'm so tired of this shit TBF. Is it so hard to just install Conversations once for Android and whatever for iOS?

Oh, I remember this from my childhood. Actually it was a very special feeling - physically getting a VHS with a movie, watching it and then returning it.

There's such a word - ergonomics. This has sunk very low in our days. Maybe the lowest since WWII (well, I think I've read somewhere that WWII was what made industrial engineers realize that interfaces should be intuitively understandable).

This is a chicken and egg problem, today's Web is so horrible exactly because most of the boors in it treat it with disgust from the very first moment and try to avoid choices, thus make the worst choices possible.

I mean, it's a golden rule - if you don't know what to do, do something. They don't out of fear, just consume what they are being given, which is the very thing they should fear.
