Ziglin (it/they)

I usually prefer AMD but I found it interesting too.

I think they are trying to exaggerate how very outdated some Windows UI elements look (primarily dialog boxes?). I doubt they would use a 95 theme on an OS that’s hard to theme and annoying to use.

I’ve only had it quite that bad once when I just rebooted and it decided to pull an update. After that the bios was unable to find any of the bootloaders on my system. (Fixed with a lot fiddling from a liveusb. Is a dual boot system but I haven’t touched Windows on it since 2023)

These other ones just made it unusable. Another time on a laptop it pulled updates in the background and would crash itself just after login. (Needed to be reinstalled and I lost some data which wasn’t backed up yet. setup by manufacturer)

Then on a different desktop system it just would bsod every few minutes, barely leaving time to go through logs. (I finally fixed it by changing a BIOS setting and reinstalling Windows, setup by manufacturer installed Linux on a separate drive and it was fine until the drive malfunctioned)

This was not a crash, just a thirty minute delay. A couple of days ago that device did an update without me even logging in. I accidentally started windows, then immediately selected reboot in the power menu before entering a password. It then ‘prepared’ something and told me not to reboot, bypassed grub, rebooted again, bypassed grub (after I missed the bios), rebooted again back into grub.

How am I the only one who does have annoying issues like this on Windows (except that Windows only gives a useless error code at most) while Linux has failed to boot a total of once (without me explicitly changing nvidia drivers).

The super manly programming socks hehe :3

Ah, I don’t have an app store. That would explain why I have never seen it.

That just displays the command or is there a browser extension that runs it for you too? Most Windows apps certainly don’t run by just clicking a button either.

The table that does it that way is a complete mess but I guess it was a good idea and got some things right.

They first started doing it with valence shells in 1864, Mendeleev had a pretty close one based on atomic weights in 1871 and correctly predicted that there were missing elements based on valences + weights. The atomic numbers which determine the valences appear to have been discovered about 40 years later.

I guess you are correct but I think the question was about the modern table.

Do you have spies behind you when playing cards too?

Wait how do you install flatpaks? I add the remote (if necessary) and then install it from there. That is nothing like I have ever seen on Windows (though apparently there are package managers).

Huh? It’s sorted by number of electrons/protons (atomic number) the mass is dependent on that and the number of neutrons.

The eight main groups are based on the number of electrons missing for the atom to reach a full valence shell. Once it is full (8th group, noble gasses) it starts a new Period (row). I’m not sure how the other groups are chosen (probably some quantum physics that I never had in chemistry class). After looking it up Wikipedia says it just keeps going that way.

Electronegativity describes how much it “wants” to attract negative charges and doesn’t affect the order (Flourine has the highest and is in group 7). I think you may have confused it with ionization energy which would certainly match my understanding of the top half of the periodic table and probably does work for the lower half too now that I think about it.

The groups tend to have similar properties but that is not why they are sorted that way. Hydrogen for example is quite different from other elements in group one. The colours are probably better for finding common properties.

I think providing human rights to it’s citizens is definitely more important, not sure if it is necessarily the primary one though.

So just don’t let them join/kick them from your server?

Idk, I saw a post on pornhub stats on I believe a map community that showed that cuddles were quite a popular tag. And if it’s wholesome and comfy looking why not?

I agree with the second half but I can’t figure out where you got the “equally” from.

If you’re not logged in they give you a button to log in through your institution. Alternatively they seem to let you create an account to view a limited number of articles per month.

If they want an account you are paying with your data whether they use it or not.

It could still be a good source I just wanted to portray the not logged in view.

I was attempting to warn them so that they unplug the Linux drive when updating windows too.

Same thing applies to Windows.

Worthwhile note to people too lazy to click on the link is that this is the 2021 version. In June 2024 (which is linked at the top of the linked article) the numbers look a little different but not much better for the US.

Being told that I don’t have them doesn’t help me understand the issues professionals have with GIMP. I’ve heard a lot of hobbists say the same thing only to list a few features that GIMP already has and then give up because they don’t actually care enough to try it for more than 5min.

I’m curious whether some professionals are the same. I suspect that some will and likely more won’t but if nobody can give examples it feels weird to be arguing about it.

So if you are a professional I’d be curious to hear more.
