not heard of it before, do you want to explain what it is or does everyone who is like me have to separately do a web search for it?

Oh look at Mr. Popular here who has friends to play games with

I use neither Arch nor Ubuntu, btw

Those are all good points, except of course that “live problem-solving sessions” and “trial work periods” were definitely already a thing at my current job, yet the employer needed the résumé to decide whether to invite/consider me for that in the first place.

I have been using Linux since my mid-teens in the late 2000s (with interruptions). In the late 2000s and early 2010s I really did do a lot of tinkering with the computer, but nowadays I rarely even install new software and hardly ever think of my operating system, at all.

the problem is, what is the alternative? I have never been on the employer side of a hiring process before, only the job-seeking side, but from what I’ve read, it’s not a very good system for either side, yet I can’t easily think of a better alternative.

I am not sure I have seen track gauges given in centimeters ever before. Usually I see that standard gauge is 1435 millimeters.

It is in the Sims. Including “The Sims Bustin’ Out” which is an RPG.

Installed, it probably is if it works in Brave… it might not be set up right in LibreWolf though.

Before the invention of video, humanity didn’t have video evidence either and still managed. We are approaching the end of a ~150 year time period in the history of humanity in which video evidence is persuasive.

it’s mentioned in the explainxkcd, so apparently

Good. The Internet was always supposed to be an opportunity to expand the overton window. It’s incredible how much we’ve been allowing tech companies to be censors in the first place, anything that undoes this development is good.

TBF the last two bullet points are verbose descriptions of the thing it means in C++, Java, and Python too. It’s just that in JS, “this” can also be used in other places.

But yeah, in practice, every time I write JS I want to throw my hands in the air and shout “this is bullshit”, but never know what “this” refers to… :D

“openly licensed” material is still copyrighted though

Also: copying is not theft, stealing a thing leaves one less left, copying it makes one thing more, that’s what copying’s for… 🎶 🎵

On a German QWERTZ keyboard too, μ is the only Greek letter you can easily type (altgr+m) and I’m pretty sure this is because of micro units.

Everyone thinks of people who aren’t part of their group as “normies”. The Pope thinks of non-Catholics as normies. The Hebrew word for “normies” is “goyim”.

that channel posted its first video more than a year ago and videos from it have been posted to this community before

If you want to enforce that, you need to fork it and put a copyleft license on it. This is very rarely done because it’s more work to maintain software than to write it…

They can change future versions to that, not already released ones.
