Well that’s largely because so few companies are doing agile correctly. Its usually some form of agilefall.

tar --help

While most people on Lemmy are going to know what this means, the person who wrote this error message was definitely trying to be cute with that phrasing.

How exactly are they spinning showing ads in the start menu as a thing that a user would want?

I take your point, and I’m sure you’re right about the banks’ rationale, but in my own view it does not seem like it should be the banks’ decision to make.

It just means you need to trust apps that you give root access to, or only give elevated privileges during the very specific times when apps need them. Root isn’t something people who don’t know what they’re doing should be messing around with, I guess. But I’d think a lot of people who root their phone know and accept the risks.

Isn’t saying that allowing apps to have root lets them access anything just describing what root is? A rooted phone doesn’t have to give superuser access to every app.

The watermark over the watermark on this…for that extra shitposty goodness.

I’m still mad because I got about 3/4 of the way through the PR of 2 and it corrupted my save.

Alright I won’t argue about that specific version’s point, but this is basically a template for constructing a strawman argument.

Back in my day, the only thing in /usr/games was fortune, and we liked it.

Mario Kart 64 is definitely not wide-screen

Yep. I remember at the time I saw a lot of advice saying “you know you might want to seriously consider just installing your distro from scratch with a newer version.” Tracking down all of the dependencies (some of which had to be installed as binaries) was a very manual process.

Edit: Oh and another fun aspect of that time period was that since downloads were so slow on a modem, if you wanted a newer version or to try out another distro, you would go and order a cdrom from a place like Walnut Creek.

Back in the day, I upgraded a Slackware install from kernel 1.3 to 2.0. That was a fucking adventure.

The fun part about back then was that if your machine wouldn’t boot or if you couldn’t get your modem or pppd working, you probably didn’t have another internet connected device so you might have to drive somewhere with a computer…or try to figure it out through books.

“An hidden” really bothers me as an American.

I’m not even sure that’s a nonnative speaker thing, I’ve definitely heard native speakers say this.

Linux hasn’t been a daily driver for me in a long time, but there have definitely been times where, after researching a question about how to do a thing in Linux, I ended up saying “you know what I’m just not gonna do that thing.”

Usually 1st gen is stuff like pong (largely single-purpose systems, not general purpose), 2nd gen is pre-crash stuff like Atari and colecovision, 3rd is nes/sms, 4th is snes/genesis/tg16, 5th is ps1/n64/saturn, 6th is ps2/xbox/dreamcast, 7th is ps3/360/wii, 8th is ps4/xbone/wiiu, 9th is current gen ps5/xsx/switch. Obviously stuff like arcade, pc/microcomputer stuff, and handhelds blur the lines so it’s not perfect but I believe Wikipedia follows this classification.

This was an adapter for old RF tvs that were mostly in use in the 80s and earlier. They were meant for use with an antenna. By the 90s coax and later RCA (composite) was the standard on most cheaper TVs. You’d probably see S-video or component video on higher end TVs. SCART, on the other hand, was completely unknown in the US.

But a lot of developers do do exactly that. They not only distribute binaries on their github, it is the only place where they distribute binaries. Github should probably recognize that it is a common use case and accommodate it better.

I’m also sure that a lot of people, like myself, took no notice of what specific package this user was complaining about, and are simply agreeing with the general sentiment that github could make things easier for non-technical users (which would, in turn, make it easier for developers since they would not need to field questions from users about how they download the software).
