The logic is that the most useful app will be the most popular by virtue of its utility.

Not always true but I’m sure there’s some correlation.

Keeper, myself. Work gives me a free/subsidized family plan so sure I’ll take it.

Definitely better than Lastpass.

Tenacity is the only one that is still actively being maintained.

I’m glad they stuck with it!

The video is great, and I’m excited for the new Audacity. But that logo/icon is an abomination.

Car crash in front of my house. Someone pulled out without seeing a car coming and got T-boned.

I wonder if Patty made it.

It seems only natural…

• the “grandma”/casual users never try anything complicated or different so nothing goes wrong.
• the “pro” users either know what they are doing well enough to not make a mistake or to fix it when it goes wrong.
• the middle users will always have it harder, they are trying things beyond the margins of “easy” so of course things go wrong and they don’t know how to fix it.

Anecdotal example: just yesterday I found out that I broke my file picker function in five out of six web browsers, by loading an Xcompose file with some definitions that GTK apparently doesn’t like. It took me about 5 hours of poking at things to figure out that a change I did a week ago, broke a function I hardly ever use. So I did fix it eventually but I it took me a week to notice and then hours to track down what was going on.

Is there any chance at all that the casual users would be using a compose key, let alone loading a custom definition file for it? Hell no!

But here’s the secret: there is nobody out there who is the perfect expert who never makes a mistake and knows all things. We’re all out here pushing boundaries; the only difference is where those boundaries are.

This applies outside of IT just as much, maybe more. It’s the rare person who will admit it though.

Isn’t nfs pretty much completely insecure unless you turn on nfs4 with Kerberos? The fact that that is such a pain in the ass is what keeps me from it. It is fine for read-only though.

It’s clearly intended to be “git tea” given its little cute signin page, “git with a cup of tea”.

But yeah my boss calls it like “git taya” and I feel like an idiot trying to say “gitty”[-up!]

Bro’s not saying you have to memorize the manual, just like … read it. Even a bit of familiarity goes a long way.

If you have literally no memory then command line is 100% unusable but otherwise every little bit helps.

It’s [edit: inspired by although that explanation feels pretty lame to me] Esperanto. The correct spelling should be “Forĝejo”.

Pronunciation is like the English word “forge”. J is pronounced like English “Y”, so “ejo” is a-yo.

IPA: fɔɹd͡ʒejo.

It’s sort-of true. Write cycles are limited.

However most modern-ish SSDs have a secure-erase command which would allow clearing without actually re-writing each sector from the OS level. It’s also much faster.

There are utilities to do this: hdparm and blkdiscard

That said, there’s little reason to do this.

It’s new. Unstable and updates often.

Are you thinking of some other distribution?

Pop! hasn’t released a new version since 2022 and rarely updates aside from security patches.

Because that’s how people buy them?

Home users want cheap garbage with good graphics for gaming. Business users want consistent reliability at a moderate price. Creators want high res graphics and don’t care what they pay.

Too fucking wholesome this year.

Honestly this is not a good reason.

Basically the only sticking point IMO would be whether the specific games you enjoy tend to have problems (often due to draconian DRM or anti cheat systems)

Not a 7900 but my 5900 does for sure.

I’m not super-familiar with mod managers in general but my experience has been that they just work with proton more than you might expect. I know for sure that unity mod manager works fine in proton; I use it for railroader.

Yeah but enough people would.
