Many people do this.

Many people are insane.

The loyal cult is the result of Stockholm syndrome.

500M probably could buy that, but what would that cost look like in comparison with using GitHub? When you are on a fixed income, making decisions based purely on philosophy becomes a luxury.

Every application kind of needs two modes: a default mode where the user is railroaded into making the right decision, and an “I’m not an idiot and will actually read the documentation before/after trying to make things work” mode. If you stick the toggle for the two modes somewhere that you’d only find by reading the documentation, people will automatically categorize themselves into the mode the ought to be in.

All jokes aside, why do people even bother with vi?

I assume lack of demand. In your own home, you’d be keeping the handle clean, and public washrooms often use the touchless sensor types.

People also just need to be more selective about where and how they automate.

For example, I wanted my coffee to automatically start in the morning. So instead of buying a “smart” coffee maker, I bought the dumbest possible one and a smart switch. Now, no matter what happens with that switch, the worst that can happen is I have to manually hit a button to get coffee.

OpenLinkHub

I somehow came across a guy who seems to be doing exactly that first part for RGB control of Corsair products.

Dude will add support for your devices in a matter of days if it doesn’t already exist, and won’t even take donations for his project. The open source community is awesome sometimes.

I’m not asking everyone to be able to become a hardware specialist, but if you can’t even figure out “my computer gets hot” I’m not going to be able to trust anything you do. Identifying a heat issue does not take a rocket surgeon.

Could be a gen 5 nvme drive without adequate cooling. Them bastards can run hot. Especially the early gen 5 drives.

Yes, but this may be a symptom of an issue I’ve been seeing with younger programmers; they’ve siloed themselves so specifically into whatever programming they “specialize” in, that they become absolutely useless at dealing with absolutely anything else related to their job. And exasperating this issue is the fact that they’ve grown up with systems that “just work”. Windows, iOS, and android are all at the point where fucking around with hardware issues is very uncommon for the average person.

Asking this guy to solve a hardware problem is like asking hime to tune a carburetor. He likely has not the slightest clue how to start.

Apple is what Microsoft wishes it could be (minus the difference in market share). That’s personally why I won’t give Apple any of my money. Really not interested in that locked down ecosystem.

Yup. OpenSUSE here.

Measuring my server cluster

Personally, I just don’t ask questions I don’t want the answer to.

I’m learning to hate it right now too. For some reason, its refusing to upload a local image from my laptop, and the alarm that comes up tells me exactly nothing useful.

Reread what I said.

A>B is a relative statement that gives no information on the absolute values of either. If I say that Miami’s elevation is greater than New Orleans’, that doesn’t mean that I’m saying Miami’s equal to the top of Mount Everest.

But it does make it more difficult relative to the others, which is all that any unitless chart is ever saying.

A lot of those stereotypical problems have been non-issues for a long time. Last time I had to fuck around with wifi drivers was somewhere around 2012.

Worse. Terminally online edgelord.
