Why did the British owner class allow for this to happen? Have there been any big privatisation efforts after Brexit? Did they hope the NHS would crumble?

Arjen Anthony Lucassen for sure!

I guess the birthrate wasn’t close enough to 0 yet.

Was really surprised by this too, because iirc Python 2 did not do this.

Really cool idea, I hope this gains traction!

No, type hints are not enforced.

It is but if you start with a float you get a float back.

Bdsmlr is decent, depending on your taste.

Yes, it has no implicit conversions like JS or R. It does, however, allow you to not specify the type of a variable and even change it without complaining. Even if you add types these are only hints that won’t generate errors unless you use external type checking (e.g. mypy).

Python is strongly typed, but it is also dynamically typed.

I wish we can get a Krita, Inkscape, GIMP ecosystem that rivals their offerings. I recommend these tools to most of my students (gamedev) because they’re already great, but if they wanna work in this area in industry they’re also forced to learn Adobe…

Chromium means Google gets to decide what internet standards get implemented. The existance of alternative engines (like the one Firefox uses) means that there is still some democratic control. If you care about the internet, don’t use a chromium-based browser.

This seems a little exaggerated. For example, over 10k games are Steam Deck playable/verified. About 75% of the games that were tested were compatible with the Steam Deck, so probably many more will follow. Also, all emulators work on Linux too and sometimes even better than on Windows. The number of games that are available to you on Linux is simply massive.

My guess would be because they also ship to Mac/Windows.

Bottles makes it really easy to install all dependencies you need and experiment with different versions. https://usebottles.com/

Is it an ntfs partition that you opened on Windows? I remember getting an error like that cause Windows does some weird permission things. Other than that I’d try with the command line or a different file manager to try and discover what the error is.

Now with extensions

9520, everything works but the trackpad sometimes has terrible lag. It’s a common issue, some also report it on Windows. Don’t care enough to ask IT to replace it.

Maybe you can use what those tl;dr bots on lemmy use.

Depending on your audience (don’t overestimate your audience!) you might also want to have a look at the material from The Carpentries. The participatory live coding style works really nicely in workshops for minimally technical beginners. Also don’t make the assignments too hard, or give multiple difficulty levels.
