Comon attitude among older techs. I imagine its a bit like gen z on phones.

Messaging seems immediate and demanding where as email seems to give the recipient a answer when you have time feel.

Its about not growing up with IM while email was treated like an extention to paper memo systems many work environments already used. More so as the system is older then the Internet. So many office networks had inter office email In the early 80s. And inter offfice memo systems like a little postal system were common in big companies for decades before that.

Yeah sorry. But when you look at the events building europeen railways. More so in the UK as we had a huge canal system built in a few decades. But most of Europe denser areas.

Railways were very much a replacement for the to slow canal system.

Canals built a huge industry allowing manufacturers to ship goods to cities while shipping resources from the mines and farms etc.

But industries like meat fish milk and strongly enough market gardening (fresh flowers) were very limited to local areas before the railways. Took off hugely when the railways intentionally set up in direct competition to the canals.

Canals survived for a while moving the slower stuff. But started needing to redesign to support bigger and more boats faster. Before finally closing down.

The UK and most of Europe rebuilt/renovated them as a leasure activity from the 1950s. But most of the late 1800 to early 1900s railways vcompanies actually worked to replace and put canal companies out of business.

Passenger rail really was not a big thing untill about the 1920s.

Lol. Learn your history.

In the UK railways very much were a replacement for canals.

Both being built to transport good accross the nation.

As railways were a replacement for canals.

It was not the railways that broke the barge. But the companies expecting to gain the advantages without adapting there transportation.

Replace not upgrade.

PS i still use canals. Bur do not blame the raIlway for not fitting my boat.

Keeps getting harder for me to not want a 3D printer.

But honestly the odd project like this is all if use it for. Would be another expensive space hog most of the time.

You seem to use the word censor a lot. For someone who who clearly has no idea what freedom of speech means.

Let me give you a clue. Your freedom of speech in no way forces others to provide you with a platform. Just governments not to silence you. Private citizens running web sites are not governments. So have no obligation to support your ideals.

When private community moderators do not want to deal with the opinions you push. They are not removing anything from you. You are failing to sell your ideals in a way that appeals to the people you are trying to force your ideas upon.

If you want to communicate with no limits. Host your own community on your own instance. And hope you do not piss off enough people to be de federated.

LOL x11 was created in 1984. I started with it in 1994. By 2000 it was still a long long way from perfect. Heck that is why wayland x12 is created. Because x11 has some old fasioned ideas that really do not fit so well today.

As for making an OS in that time. Well microsoft seems to have taken way longer then 15 years. And few would ever say they are perfect.

Honestly I am far from a wayland fan. I do not consider it a valid replacement for x11 yet. I also use Nvidia. But it is and will get there. Likly just in time for folks to start wanting a replacement. That is sorta how this stuff goes in the FOSS Operating system development cycle.

Snuck. What a load of click bait shit.

How the hell is Dell openly choosing to sell stuff to linux user. In any way shape or form snuck.

Yep even mid range ones did so way back in the early 90s. It was a common fairly cheap feature that used rs232 mostly. In those days non unix systems did not care as much if powered down without warning. So us early (me 1996) Linux users really found it useful to have the ups initiate shutdown before it died. Windows users of the time only tended to worry if they had the PC running when not sat their. Few had internet at home in the early 90s and those that did were dil up. So for many it was not worth the cost when you could just turn off the PC if a power cut was long term.

Now with most people using laptops for casual use. I really cant imagin anyone buying one without the feature.

Not OP. But a 40 plus year type 1 diabetic. Who knows from experiance how much CGM improove treatment for newer T1ds. Im now legally blond due to them not existing in the past. As are a high % of T1ds my age…

Sorry but phrasing seems like a bad excuse.

Your crossed out comment shows You clearly knew enouth from his pheasing ro recognise you were giving medical advice to a diabetic with out the qualifications to do so.

His phrasing was perfect. And i really would rather you not try to excuse your input when. So many medical profesionals are trying to encourage the usu of CGM technology. The consrant 5min rwading provide way more control information then any periodic test can.

That said. The watch is just a nice add. Bur a good reason to want one.

No use for my vision but would have loved the option 30 plus years ago. Would likely have good vision now if I had access to CGMs then.

while still paying less then the commercial OSes. That have been the victims of the vast majority of attacks and cost to corps using them.

Its not like other OSes are attack free. Not requiring qualified engineers to keep them protected.

That said. Ubuntu and their snap store are asking for trouble .

If you make it a policy for your corp. You will screw anyone with visual impairment.

We are totally unable to see the detail in these shitty little pics. So would be unable to use them as a password.

Fine if uou want to use them. And software should start supporting it. But please dont push corps to screw over disabled. Its hard enough dealing with them already. Nearly every big company forgets vision or hearing impairment when trying to manage customers and staff.

2 or 3 programs.

Krita is great for creation. Darktable is the equive of lightroom and best for filtering photos etc. It really is great.

Gimp is a great tool. But has issues with colour depth. Takes some practice but well worth it for the correct projects.

Anything else you want to do. You will find simple command line tools to do it.

Like most you may find this daunting. But remember Unix plus OS has a very different philosopy to most commercial development houses. Where companies like Photoshop see any other software as competition that they must absorb costomers from. So anything they cannot do they try to replace. Constantly increasing the scope of there product.

Unix tend to have a right tool for the job attitude. This allows OS developer who are donating there own time. To concentrate on doing the stuff they are good at very well.

There is little motive to destroy competition. If another group dose something better. Use them.

Mainly software vendors.

The fact that you can build a package with all dependences built in etc. Means software vendors can release a product for Linux. Without worring about all the different versions of library’s out there.

This is useful for os when trying to support less common distress. As you are not rellying on the distro to package everything. Then destros that wish to may compile more efficient versions based on there own dependencies can. But other distros are supported if they do not want to compile. Without your team having to compile for every distress.

But it also allows commercial closed source vendors to package once and know every linux system (on the hardware they choose to support) will have the dependencies expected. No matter the distro choice or other software requirements. Removing the issue with supporting every distress. As this is a common reason commercial software avoids Linux. As 100s of different distress divided between a relatively small customer base. Means support is often not cost effective.

I use krita plus darktable. Together they give me everything I need.

You are correct that Krita is not a photo editor on its own. But it is also not designed to be. Linux developers have less of a one tool for every job ideal. Due to not needing to compete the same way commercial developers do.
