Speaking of Ukraine, did you know that currently there are North Korean solders contributing to the invasion. Not only 3 day special military operation is taking 3 years, but also russia, by itself, is unable to complete it.

TIL, cool

But, yeah, I would read it as pretentious little thing even if I knew the lingo. Honestly I approve the person getting 86 cherries. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Yeah, I noticed that on GNOME as well

TL; DR
My experience between Windows and Linux is not much different with how often I have issues. But given the choice I much more prefer my Linux experience.

I hate Windows just as much as the next guy, but this comment section smells a little of confirmation bias.

From my experiece (web dev in a mainly MS branded stack) Windows mostly just works. Yes there are horrendous design, UX choices forced upon me, but I can usually force the OS to do what I need and how I need it.

Now comparing it to my home Pop setup it also mostly just works. There are occasional freezes that require a restart and such, but I wouldn’t say it’s much more different from Windows.

Now what does differ a lot is that I don’t need to fight the OS to do shit. It’s way better productivitywise, when I know what I’m doing. Which is deffinetly not the case everytime.

There was an issue, don’t know how relevant now, with WSL 2 that caused awfully slow host filesystem operations. Not sure if it got fixed by now

Good, they even compiled a list of sources.

Just looking at the word I would definetly read ir as fugu.

Looking at the Wikipedia article, it says it’s pronounced fjug. Like what happened to the u and e.

I believe Tom Scott had a video on gif vs jif with good arguments for both. His argument boiled down to what association a person makes when first introduced to the word.
Examples included words like gift (where you say g) and gin (where you say j).

I don’t think there is a correct answer, only an answer. Depending on criteria chosen I can make an argument for either pronunciation.

This, but also I just use my native language punctuation rules and hope for the best.

You can keep your prescriptive linguistic nazism. I’ll enjoy my descriptive freedom.

In all seriousness, prescriptive linguistics have a limit in a sense that language is formed by usage and that’s inherently a “descriptive” process.
It is possible to prescribe language when you’re in a majority of users, but after some critical mass of people there is nothing you can do. Even when they’re technically wrong.

Apparently the creator of the format argued for jif. But then again the g stands for graphics.

Honestly this whole argument just shows to me that english is way too inconsistent with it’s spelling vs pronunciation. Which is maddening coming from a language where letters correspond one to one to sounds you make.

To defend myself, I’m not a native speaker and we only have a single word for both conceps. So to me these are synonyms because my language doesn’t differentiate between the two.

Even after looking up some definitions they pretty synonymous to me.

Oof… My language doesn’t differentiate between types of envy, we have one word. So I cannot even translate this.

That’s how language works. You could say that a similar thing happened to the suffix -core. Where originally it was ment to be used with one word – a certain musical genre. Now, however, I can append it to anything and it means just a general esthetic.

As for rougelike, it no longer means a game that’s like Rouge. It means a game where you losing means starting over, where playing more doesn’t necessarily mean the game gets easier due to accumulated XP, wealth, gear or whatevet other mechanic.

After how the Withcher was butchered, I’d like to see less adaptations.

I wouldn’t consider it superior, just different, in case of a keyboard shortcut.

What’s a carpool lane? Do we have them in Europe?

Sometimes people manage other computers so it’s not practical to configure all of them and you can’t trust what people have configured for the power button
